Need install disk based on newer kernel to resolve network issues

Hi
It seams the kernel version supplied on the installation disk doesn't work with my network card. (See separate thread.) However, it seams that this network card should be supported in newer kernel versions.
How do I a) update the kernel when I have no network on the machine? or b) get an installation disk which has a newer kernel?

a) download kernel26 and kernel26-firmware packages with another computer, copy over via usb, install them with pacman
b) http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=95503

HOW DO I INSTALL DISK OF NEW 10.6 SNOW LEOPARD ? NEW MAC DO NOT HAVE DVD ACCESS . BUT I WORK ON OLD MAC 10.4. TIGER THAT DO HAVE DVD PLAYER . I KNOW THAT SHOULD BE EAZY . THANKS

You'll need to provide some more information .... what current mac mini do you have? Click on the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, click about this mac, and what does it say for processor, memory, and os x version?
When you say you have no DVD, do you have the mac mini server or is the DVD broken?
You can't do anything with 10.6 Snow Leopard on a PowerPC mini, however, if it is an Intel-based mini, you could probably hook up the systems in target disk mode to install 10.6.

2011 macbook pro with Mavericks - do I need install disks to erase hd?

So I inherited my dad's 2011 macbook pro and updated to Mavericks, and added myself as a user on the computer. I want to erase the HD so that I can start over, be the only user, 'own' the computer, etc., but when I open disk utility the erase buttons are grey. I also don't want to erase the HD and find out that I need to order 2011 era OSX install disks. What's the deal? Thanks!

You can't use Disk Utility from the drive that you want to erase. Depending on whether you have an early or late 2011 machine, it may have shipped with Snow Leopard, and with discs, or with Lion, and no discs.
Go under the Apple menu and select "About This Mac", "More Information," and see if it's an early or late model. If it's a late model you can do what you wish with no discs, using only Internet Recovery.
Call back,

I Need Install Disks for Early 2008 MacBookPro

I just purchased a used MacBook Pro (Early 2008) but the seller didn't have the Install Disks. How do I go about obtaining these and what steps do I go through since it is registered to him and the Apple Care is under his name?

Contact him and ask him to contact AppleCare. If he doesn't, return to him the computer, as he may
1. Be trying to pass off a stolen computer to you.
2. Not have any regard for the licensing agreement of the computer.
He can't be holding on to the software while giving you the machine with any software on it. The software is an integral part of finding out if there is a hardware issue with the machine, it also allows you to install iLife which came with the machine. He should read my FAQ*:

I want to install hybrid drive in Macbook pro. I bought my Mac book with lion and am now running mountain lion. I was told I needed install disk to set up new drive before restoring from my time capsule.Is this correct and if so how do I get disk osx10?

I purchased a Mac book Pro in Aug 2012 with lion and have upgraded to mountain lion. I currently am looking to install the segate 750 gig hybrid drive. I watching video I shows me needing a OSX 10 disk to boot off of when the new disk is in and the use time capsule to restore system from back up drive to new hybrid. Hope I got this correct so far. that being said my Mac Book did not come with a disk therefore is one available, when I get to point of restoring from back up with it be the same mountain lion system I had. Sorr if this sounds redudant.. Thank you in advance

Connect the new hybrid drive to your MBP. Start up your MBP holding the OPTION key, the two HDD icons will appear. Select the 'restore' icon on the right. When you get to the menu where you have 4 options, select Disk Utility. Format the drive and then you can use the option of restoring it from Time Machine.
Ciao.

New Mac Mini Server Network Issue

I recently purchased the new Mac Mini Server with 10.6 to use as a Content Filter/Web Server for a small private school. While trying to set it up, using the on board ethernet and a USB to Ethernet adapter, I have lost all ability to acquire an IP. IT does not matter if I use the on board ethernet, the USB adapter, or the Airport. All three return a self-assigned IP. I know this is related to the machine since I can still access the cable modem setup by typing in 192.168.100.1. And I brought it home to work on it a little more and the bonjour services are detecting the other macs on the network.
I tried trashing my network preference plist, but no change.
I am considering doing a fresh install since I think the initial setup was borked. But I thought I'd hit up the board and see if anyone else had a thought before I begin that process.
thoughts?

I have setup this configuration several times with both a MacPro and the smaller mini setup. The gateway setup we are describing is about as simple as it gets (static IP, gateway running all services so 1 IP address, gateway set as 192.168.1.1 on the local net. Simple DHCP and DNS "server.local", and "server.xxx.com" external).
I would be overjoyed to find that I can configure this by setting up some simple overrides in the routing. I would point out in defense that _everything else_ works perfectly basically by default.
1) dns on server: local and external, forward and reverse from itself and the local network - check
2) services on server (all of them): from itself and the local and external networks - check
3) network access (ie NAT & Firewall) for local machines - check (web, streaming, even bittorrent)
The only issue I see is that remote clients cannot access the gateway itself properly though VPN. UPD return packets seem to be mis-routed through the physical interface rather than the virtual one.
ALL other operations (Mail, iCal, iChat, Push, Web Services, Wiki, Web Mail and iCal, NAT) work perfectly for the server, local network, and external hosts. The above problem only happens for vpn clients, and then only for connections from them to the gateway itself, and only for UDP packets.
I would really love to know how to fix it, especially if this can be explained by a needed custom rule (But I'm guessing not given the otherwise full functioning system). Are you saying that to make VPN work you need to add custom routing info that is not described in the Server docs? If so what?
Thanks,
Hunter

OSX 10.7 Lion Install Disk

Hello,
I want to place a new SSD HDD in my Macbook Pro 13, but I am facing the problem that I do not have an install disk for the new installation of OSX.
I found some tutorials which described that I have to download the App "OSX Lion" from AppStore and burn the imagefile "InstallESD.img", which is included in the App, to a dvd and from this disk I can install a whole new system.
Since Mountain Lion is released I cannot find "OSX Lion" anymore in AppStore. There is just an App named "OSX Mountain Lion".
Is there a way to get a OSX Lion install disk or do I have to buy OSX Mountain Lion to install a new system?
Regards,
Andreas

Hmm - you face a dilemma. My MBP shipped with Lion, as well, but it still shows up on my Purchases tab because I did actually purchase it just to make a bootable USB flash installation drive. You don't really need to do that, however. What you should do it to save the $20 you'd spend on Mountain Lion and buy a USB drive enclosure. I bought mine from OWC. Here's a user tip on installing a new SSD in place of a hard drive using an enclosure and Carbon Copy Cloner.
It's very simple, actually:
Buy enclosure. Install SSD in enclosure;
Boot from your internal drive. Format your SSD as "MAc OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition using Disk Utility.
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your internal drive to your new SSD.
Swap drives and boot from your SSD.
Pretty simple, hunh?
Any more questions? Let us know.

Any way to install Windows 7 by copying the install disk to a HD first?

Any way to install Windows 7 by copying the install disk to a HD first?
I have HDs installed in my optical bays.
I can copy the Win 7 install disk to a new freshly formatted HD if needed.
I am unable to install from my Firewire DVD.
It will not work.
I have a NTFS partition ready to go on an internal drive.
If there is a way to do this I would appreciate any help.
I really do not want to put my DVD back in if it can be avoided.
Thanks ... Ken

I've done an install off a hard drive, but I was already running Windows on a separate drive partition.
People have put DVD on flash memory, though that is 'maybe' and depends on booting from USB devices.
I routinely put OS X Install DVD on a firewire hard drive and installs quickly (to say nothing of booting in under 60 sec).

Corrupted Mac OS X Install disk?

I have an early 2010 MacBook which came with Snow Leopard. I had trouble with the permissions for quite awhile; every time I did a software update I would have trouble booting up and would get stuck on the start up screen. Disk Utility and fsck sometimes helped. Last week I could not get anything to work and could not boot it up at all so I took it to the Geniuses at my Mac Store and they said the HD was fine, but obv the software had issues so they did a free Archive & Install. Everything was fine after that.
Then I bought a new HD to use as a back up, and after I got home I realized it was bigger and faster than the one already in my MacBook so I decided to switch them out. Then I installed Snow Leopard from my Mac OS X Install disk onto the new HD. Now I have software issues and permissions issues again. When I do Disk Utility and try to repair permissions it just keeps saying the same permissions are corrupted over and over, and tells me that some of them will not be repaired.
Does this mean that my Mac OSX Install disk is corrupted? How would I go about getting a new one so I can start over clean again without problems? If I take my MacBook back to the Geniuses, I don't know if they will do an A&I for free again, and also, if I ever need the OS X Install disk for future, I'd like to have one that's not faulty.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Thanks Lumnos, I appreciate your thoughts and your time in responding.
I decided to reformat and erase the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard just to see what would happen. So I started up the computer to Disk Utility using the OS X Install DVD. I clicked on the name of the HD and then clicked "erase". When that was done I went back to the Snow Leopard Installation screen and went through that process. This is all on the HD that I just bought 2 days ago, BTW.
I know you said the iTunes thing is probably unrelated to any permissions problem, but I wanted to see what it looked like after wiping the HD. So after the OS was installed, the first thing I did after start up was open iTunes. It still does not display the Store or recognize my devices.
Then I rebooted into Disk Utility like you suggested. I verified the disk. It said "Macintosh HD appears to be OK" without any messages about having modified anything.
Then I verified permissions. All it said was something like "Verification of permissions is complete" and didn't give any other report, no error messages, nothing, except that it was complete.
Then I tried repairing permissions, and it did the same thing. Said it was complete without any other messages.
So I guess the permissions and the disk are fine?
Any thoughts on what to do about iTunes? I don't think updating the iTunes software will change anything, as all my software was updated prior to posting this discussion, and I was having the same problem.

I am getting the message "The windows installer Service could not be accessed when trying to install Itunes on my new computer, any help would be appreciated.

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Installing iMovie HD from OS X 10.4.8 Install Disk to an OS X 10.5.8 Comput

My son really prefers the old iMovie HD to the iMovie (9?) that came with his computer.
I'm trying to install iMovie HD from my install disk which is version OS X 10.4.8 to his computer which is OS X 10.5.8
After I insert the install disk and choose "Install Bundled Software Only", it tells me that I cannot install this software on his computer.
Can I install an old iMovie from an old install disk to a newer computer? Please help! Thanks!

Hi
Don't know about iMovie HD (vers. 5) but iMovie HD6 from iLife 6 should work
and I like it so much more than iM 5.
There is a bit of huzzle when trying to do this.
• iLife'08 or 09 - HAS TO BE de-installed first
• then install iLife 6
• then re-install iLife'09
iMovie HD 6 and iDVD (vers. 7.0.4) called 08 or 09 - WORKS Greatly together.
Yours Bengt W

Installation issue with Creative Suite 6 Production Premium install disks on ASUS laptop, Windows 8

Hi Adobe:
While trying to install CS6 Production Premium with install disks on my new laptop, many installation attempts have failed due to the DVD player falling asleep while reading Disk 2. The Installer software and Disk 1 seem to be operating fine, but after switching the disks when prompted, the installation simply stalls.
I have used these disks before and successfully installed on a previous desktop machine. I have an Adobe ID and issues serial number for this license.
May I download this content in order to circumvent the install disks entirely and try it that way?
Thanks,

EMac won't start from startup install disk

Aloha gang,
Our school purchased 25+ seats volume license of 10.4 last year and to date I have used 15. Most upgrades have gone on without a hitch but today I'm trying to upgrade some eMacs (same models as I have previously upgraded without problem) and it will not start up from the disk no matter what I try. I've tried:
* putting in the disk, clicking on install, clicking on restart so it restarts from the install disk
* putting in the disk, starting the computer and holding the C button
* putting in the disk, starting the computer and holding the option button to choose the install disk
None of those have worked. All that happens is the grey screen with the darker grey apple and the spinning thingy beneath it. I thought it might be that I was being impatient so I started it again, went to eat lunch and when I returned it was exactly where I left it. Any suggestions?
Oh yeah - I have tried using the original purchased media as well as backup copies of the media in all instances.
Thanks for any help you can give, gang!

nalani:
Thank you for indulging my ignorance and so graciously enlightening me as to your situation.
It seems to me that the difficulty you are experiencing has to do with individual computers not responding appropriately to the discs from which you are trying to boot them. The disks themselves may not be the issue at all, since you have previously booted other computers from them.
My first suggestion would be to check the computers themselves to see if they have issues that need to be corrected. If those computers are running previous versions of OS X and you have the install disks for them, see if you can boot from them and run Repair Disk. I would also check for hardware issues by running the appropriate Apple Hardware Test disk. BDAqua's suggestion to Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck is appropriate, especially if you are unable to boot from an install disk to run Repair Disk.
BDAqua's other suggestion also has merit. That is, using one of the computers that will boot the disk as Host, boot the recalcitrant computers into Firewire Target Disk Mode and run Repair Disk and if everything checks out OK, do the installation in that way.
No one is questioning the legality of what you are doing. It is just that most of the users who post have a single user or family license at best, so your licensing situation is a bit rare around here.
Please do post back with an update of how things go if you attempt any of the suggested approaches.
Good luck.

Installation good, but now cannot boot from install disk

Hi I installed leopard via upgrade and install all is working well apart from the occasional sound issue.
however when i try to boot from the leopard install disk I get a kernel panic saying that the computer is not recognized. If i boot from my original disk that came with my computer and run disk utility i get file errors. Should I repair these or will it ruin the leopard file system. And is the leopard install disk only suitable for intel macs.

It sounds like the lens on your optical drive is dirty if you're not getting to the installation menu. Use a cleaning DVD or wrap a microfiber cloth around a credit card and carefully slide it in and out a few times.
