Need to satrt from disk but have no DVD drive

Me again, sorry experts but i need help again.My g4 has passwords i cannot get by, i need to reset admin etc as previous posts showed but my start up discs from my Powerbook are DVD and the g4 tower has no DVD, can i do a series of key combo's or something to reset all my information, i am happy to lose any content as i need nothing from it.
Many thanks
Deano

You should use the G4's original disks, or a retail copy of the OS you're running on it, to reset the password. The Powerbook DVD is meant for that machine only (if it's the machine specific disks that shipped with it). If it's a retail (universal disk) you would be OK.
It would be too risky, using a Powerbook DVD for G4 stuff in my opinion. I know it can't read DVD's so you're safe there.
Here's Apple doc.#106156 on resetting the password, in case you find the right disk.

Apps installed from disk, but Application Manager shows them as not installed

I have all Creative Suite (Master) apps installed from disk, but Application Manager shows them as not installed. Why?

I find a way that could be firing this issue.
First, I installed Creative Cloud in spanish language, then installed some apps like DW, PS, FW, FL, and some more.
Then, some days ago, I realized that my apps were in spanish language, but I prefer them in english, so I switched the language of CC to english in settings options.
Now, these apps installed in spanish language are marked as "not installed" and I see the option to install them. And applications installed before language change, are fine and tracked for updates.
Maybe the issue is related to language changed, the CC manager can't track the language change.
Hope to find a solution in short time, this could be a major issue for someone.
At this time, I'm re-installing the apps in english, I think they must override the spanish ones.
I'm using MacOS 10.8.4 (Mountain Lion) on MacBook AIR, Core i7 (if that make sense)
Cheers!

Weird QT issue on Mav: stuttering from disk but ok from network

Issue is just as title implies. File stutters a lot when played from disk but is butter smooth when the same file is played from network
- Mac OS X is a clean install. No significant third party stuff or drivers installed. No crapware. Not even flash.
- Disk seems OK according to SMART status. No perm or disk errors. Some "dd" tests show 90MB/s read speed and ~50MB/s write speed.
- Issue occurs with both one and 2 monitors.
- Alternative video players like MPlayerX and Movist can play the same file on disk just fine.
- I have Obcene ammounts of RAM for a laptop.
Is this a known issue? Am I the only one suffering this weird behavior?
Thanks in advance!

You address it with whomever provides service in your country... whether that is Apple or the carrier.

Seriously? Why in the world would Apple ship a carrier locked AT&T iPhone to Singapore to replace your device? Apple, or the carrier that provides warranty service provides replacements appropriate for your country. They do not ship warranty replacements around the world.
Also, I think your friend is full of manure. iPhone model numbers do not vary around the world, at least I've never seen or heard of that sillyness.

No such listing exists.
Bottom line... ignore your friend (they obviously have no clue what they are talking about) and contact your carrier or Apple in Singapore and address the warranty replacement with them.

Installing with DVD, even though I don't have a DVD drive?

Is there a way to work-around the fact that I don't have a DVD drive on my G4 to install Tiger from the DVD that I have on hand?
Just started a new job, and they have the Tiger DVD disks, but there's only one mac in the whole office that has a dvd drive. Yet, there are several with Tiger installed.
How did they do it? No one who was here during the installation is here now ... go figure.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to sound as if that were critical. I bet they have sound or recording software/hardware as the main concern like you do. A local user here has had problems moving some of his stuff (and recording from vinyl) with his OS X installations.
I think I may have been confused with your earlier post about the drive. There should be no problem going directly to 10.4 at all. I thought that you wanted to install an OS onto the DVD drive and it needed to be 10.2 or above. This looks like a balancing act: you need a suitable OS on the drive to put the OS on the computer; but you need a drive on the computer to put the OS on the drive.
A solution might be to find another computer with a DVD drive; or to go up in steps: Jaguar or Panther come on CDROM disks so could be installed on the computer then on the drive (or directly onto the drive without installing on the computer).
There was an exchange program to get Tiger on CDROMs but I am not sure if that is finished (or if there are any in Aus.).

I have no DVD drive on my computer. Where are the downloads located?

I received discs for Photoshop elements & premier elements 12 with my new camera but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive. I assumed it would be no big deal to download them from the Internet...wrong. .I have serial numbers to install Photoshop but I cannot find where the downloads are located. I find plenty of "trial" downloads but I should not have to pay for a product I already have. Can anyone help me out there in cyber-land? Adobe has no information on the website and I am unable to locate a live person. So, that is you! Hey live person, can you help this little ol lady? Thank you so much!!

I am okay with a computer but not a geek that is for sure!
I downloaded the assistant and nothing happened. I went to the site you so kindly suggested and started the download, and when I tried to apply it to the computer it said elements were missing. I deleted the download and then started again. Right now it is once again downloading the assistant.
Arggggggh!

Thanks for the update.
What was the problem...the length of time for the download or just getting any download at all?
If necessary, I will go step by step with you through the tryout download from Adobe. But, the purchase of a USB external DVD/CD burner for your computer is a good idea and investment.
If you do the shopping for this, check out how many connections are necessary for it to the computer....none, one, or two...check out the length of the USB cable.
Please let us know how we can help. But, your mentioned place of purchase has a squad who should be able to help your with the purchase.
Thanks. Please update us on your progress when your schedule permits.

If I buy a dvd copy of elements can I use that serial number or Key to install it on my imac that does NOT have a DVD drive?

Buying the DVD is less expensive but I don't have a DVD drive. So I want to know if I can use the serial number or product key from the box to license a trial download?

It should work. You can always contact Adobe Support if it doesn't.

Can I install leopard dvd even if my macbook doesn't have a dvd drive?

can I install the leopard dvd even if my macbook doesn't have a dvd drive?
I am unsure if I should buy the dvd

All Macbooks shipped with drives that read DVDs.
If you want to install Leopard and your drive is broken, you will need to use an external drive or a disc image on an external hard drive.

We do not have a dvd drive. how do we install the photoshop software?

I would like to install but do not have a dvd drive. how do we that?

There is no macbook of any vintage that doesn't have a dvd drive if it has any kind of optical drive, but you can always install the trial and enter your serial number into that. You will lose the special link to uploading to costco if you do it that way, though.
What makes you think your mac can't read a dvd?
