Mac OS X Leopard installation disc after I install Windows Vista

Hi everyone! Do I need to put my Mac OS X Leopard installation disc after I install Windows Vista? I try to run the windows without install Mac-specific driver for windows but it restarted and back to Mac OS. The frustrated thing is I did not bring my Mac OS with me. Anyone has any solution? Or how can i request a installation disk from Apple? Thank you!
Yes you will need to install the apple drivers for win vista. When you boot from a cold start, have you tried holding down the option key to choose which OS to boot from? If you have then, you could try going into startup options from the mac side and choose win vista if it appears. That could be risky though, as you mentioned you do not have the mac install disk. If problems arise you may need the mac install disk to undo the changes.

Mac OX Snow Leopard installation from DVD failed

I tried to install the new OS Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (bought today) on my iMac. But is constantly failed (message: installation failed) and now it's in a loop where I can't get out. Because the only action there is is to try it again. What should I do?

What specific iMac model do you have? Does it meet these requirements?
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
To shut down the computer press and hold in the Power button until the computer shuts off. When you restart the computer you can eject the DVD as follows:
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
If you are currently running Leopard and it's still working then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If all is OK then reboot from your Snow Leopard DVD and try the installation again.
BTW, I encourage you to make a cloned backup of your current working system before trying to upgrade.

Snow leopard installation disc won't boot. Can I reset computer to boot from internal hard drive at startup?

I recently installed snow leopard on my macbook (mid 2006). I used system preferences to set the snow leopard boot disc as the install disc, and now my computer won't boot. It stalls at the apple icon with the grey screen. Is there any way I can set my computer to reboot from my internal hard drive at startup without having access to system prefernces (a keyboard code or something)?

Thank you so much for responding. I actually just pushed the trackpad button at startup. It ejected the install disc and automatically booted from the internal. I am sure your method would have worked as well. Thanks again!

Would it still be possible to retrieve encrypted files from a Mac OS X 10.8.5 after clean install and performing command p and r?

I'm just wondering, if it would still be possible to retrieve encrypted files (such as home folders using legacy filevault) from Mac OS X 10.8.5 after clean install of new OS and performing command-p and -r during bootup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something to know. All of these tools have two things in common:
1) You must have another drive to save the recovered data to. You cannot save it back to the same partition you are recovering from since doing so could overwrite data you are trying to save.
2) They take forever to complete. In Windows, a deleted file or folder simply has a flag changed on its entry in the file table so the OS knows the space it used to occupy is free to use for other data. To unerase, the software simply changes the flag back to "live". That's why they work so easily and fast in Windows. How long an item has been marked as erased determines whether or not the space it sat on has since been used by new data.
On a Unix system (which OS X sits on top of), deleted data has its file table entry removed. The only way then to find deleted data is to scour the entire drive for BOF (beginning of file) markers and reading the data of each one it finds to its EOF (end of file) marker.
So be prepared to wait for hours for a search to complete. It could take more than a day for a terabyte or larger drive. It also doesn't help that recovered data rarely has any of the original names.
Edit: Also, did you do a simple erase of the drive, or a zero write erase? If the latter, your chances of recovering anything is virtually nil.

Hello Friends,
I have been unable to download the patch for developer 10g forms as I am not a metalink registered user. But I have downloaded other browsers such as firefox2 and netscape 9.0.0.6. I am trying to run my forms 10g rel2 with these browsers. But on netscape it says Java is not enabled, even though I have enabled Java. And it shows me a grey page. On firefox 2, it says 'click here to download plugin'. After you click on it, it says 'No suitable plugins were found', 'Unknown plugin(application x/jinit-applet; version 1.3.1.22) and a text box is beside it labelled 'Manual Install'. When you click on this manual install button, it takes me to this page :

Installation of ODTwithODAC1110621 fails on Windows Vista

In order to get a Oracle OLE DB provider for .Net, I installed downloaded ODTwithODAC1110621.zip from the Oracle.com website. It installs fine on Windows XP, but when I try an install in Vista, it ends just a minute after the start with a message box entitled Java Virtual Machine launcher
"Cannot find main class. The program will now exit".
(This is at the point of preparing the installation - it shows a command prompt (DOS) window and says wait ...., then it says cannot find xxx something or other and gives the above message).
The Oracle database 11g is supposed to run on Vista, even 10g does, and the above data provider should run on Vista too.
I do need to install it on Vista. Any help appreciated.

Having some Issues After Installing Windows Vista

I just recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit SP1 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.6. I thought everything was good until I noticed 2 things. 1. I did not have a Boot Camp icon in the system try, nor could I find it listed in control panels. 2. When I tried connecting to the internet via Internet Explorer while in Windows, it told me that I did not have a internet or network connection. When I'm on the Mac OS X side my internet connection is fine. I tried reinstalling the drivers, but my only options were install CD/DVD or to connect my computer to another computer. I tried installing them manually but I noticed a yellow exclamation point on my iSight and Broadcom drivers. I can't update them because I can't connect to the internet. Can anyone help? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'm not a PC expert. Thanks!

Hi Adeedo,
Even I have the same kind of problem. After reading an update features list, I turned off and on the "Network Time Zone" button, its the same issue and its almost an hour its still saying that "Waiting for Network Time. After reboot the msg didn't appear but after turn off and turn on, same issue.
Seems like the update broken this issue while fixing the part of not showing the city and country when the "Network Time Zone" option is turned on.
I have got the 1.3.5 features info from the following link.
http://www.everythingpre.com/forum/palm-webos/official-webos-1-3-5-update-discussion-25209.html
( Date & Time
When the user has Network time zone enabled, a city and country are no longer displayed.
I got this phone recently two week ago, and it was on WebOs 1.2.1 till i upgraded to 1.3.5 a week ago.
I am also having some other issues like Alarm. I have set two alarms one at 6.30 am and another at 6.45 am. It used to work fine, like getting buzzed for two alarms one after the other till before I update to 1.3.5. Today morning i observed that i got the buzz for first alarm, but i was waiting for the second one and it didn't come at all. I dismissed the first one. The phone was in charging using AC power.

When i click the address from the open contact entry it takes me to Googles Page but not to Sprint Navigation launcher. Either i am doing wrong. Some one can help me how to launch Sprint navigation from the contact entry.

Insteade of using mac os on macbook pro, i wanted to install windows 8 pro on mac book pro, will that void my warranty

Installing any OS you want on your machine will not void the warranty. Only making hardware changes other than those listed as "user servicable" by Apple, or negligence will void your warranty.
I will warn you that there might be SMC or EFI udates you will want for your Mac hardware that are only available if you are runnign Mac OS. For this reason, you may want to keep a small partition on your drive which still has Mac OS installed, or at the very least, keep an external HD around to be able to boot Mac OS. Additionally, if you are having hardware issues, like a failing DVD writer, you may have a harder time getting Apple to repair it under warranty if you can not reproduce the error under Mac OS. When I had the DVD writer replaced in my first MacBook Pro, I found the problems trying to write discs under Windows 7, but when the tech could reproduce an error under Mac OS, he quickly accepted it was a hardware problem and not software. Without reproducing it under Mac OS, he admitted that he might not be able to get them to replace the drive.

Hello, Pete.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when an iPod is not recognized by iTunes or the computer.
