Obtaining a replacement 10.3 or 10.4 install disc for our iBook

Hi, my wife has an old iBook G3 and the hard drive recently died. I'm replacing it but we do not have the original discs that came with the computer. Does anyone know if it is possible to obtain a replacement OS install disc?
Many Thanks!

Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To get a copy of the original system CDs, call Apple at 1-800-275-2273.
This will not include Mac OS X 10.3 nor Mac OS X 10.4, but an older version of Mac OS X. Which version of Mac OS X was on the original system CDs depends on which model iBook it is, but no iBook G3 came with these later versions of the OS.

  • How do I get a replacement install disc for my MacBook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro was stolen last year and recently recovered by the police.  I was overjoyed until I found that the theif installed windows 7 onto to my computer.  I know I need to reformat my hardrive but I no longer have the system intalll disc that came with my computer.  Can I just buy a OS X disc from apple or do I need to get a specific disc MacBook disc for everything to work properly?

    For software discs, there are two cases:
    a) came with 10.6. In this case order the replacement DVD from Apple.
    b) came with 10.7. In this case there may be no replacement discs. Start up with Command-R and install 10.7 from the Internet.
    This varies slightly depending on EXACTLY which model you have.

  • Replacing install discs for iMac G4

    I have an iMac G4 but no install discs. How can I replace those discs, or otherwise restore the machine to an "as new" state?

    All models of the iMac G4 have been placed on Apple's "obsolete" list which means that Apple has discontinued all hardware support for them. You can call Apple tech support and see if by luck they can still provide the original disk set, but it's probable that they can't. If that turns out to be the case, you'll need to either look to places such as eBay for a set, or find a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 or, if your iMac's processor is 867MHz or better, Mac OS X 10.5.
    Regards.

    I have a satellite 3000-400 with a function [Fn] key top which is broken. Where can I obtain a replacement key top?

    As far as I know you can not buy or order single keyboard parts just the whole keyboard. I recommend you to check eBay and see if you can buy used keyboard and replace it. Replacement procedure is not complicated.

  • How do I replace install disc?

    I can't boot up from the install discs and I'm pretty sure they are damaged. What is the easiest way to get replacements?

    If you are going to try and obtain a startup/install disk from any source other than Apple themselves, it's imperative you make sure it is for the exact same model system that you have. For example, an installer from an original PPC mini will not work on a late 2006 model.
    Apple resellers, service providers and Apple themselves will be able to supply the correct install disk for your system if you are in any doubt.

    My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
    Can anyone help?

    Yep.  Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI.  I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
    It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column.  Now it's just blank.  Link to screenshot below:

    Note the install date.  That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it.  Now I can't even do that.  I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller.  It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
    By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it?  It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

    did you turn 'find my mac' ON your MBA BEFORE your it was stolen? if not, you will not be able to do anything to the stolen MBA
    if you did turn it on before it was stolen, yes it will erase everything on the MBA

  • My hard-drive (SSD) on my MacBook Air crashed; had to replace it with new SSD! Installed Mavericks but now cannot find 'free' iPhoto App to download and install. Any help?

    Trying to re-download & re- install my iPhoto since replacing my SSD. Its no longer free & I have had it downloaded/ installed it when I installed OS Mavericks the first time. Now since the SSD is replaced, not sure it recognizes it & does not let me download/ installed iPhoto for free. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you -

  • Replacing macbook with pro, can I install FCP again?

    I'm on the verge of buying a new Macbook Pro to replace my dying Macbook, but need to know if I'll have to buy a new copy of Final Cut as well. The included documentation states that Final Cut Studio 2 can be installed on 1 laptop and 1 desktop, and I understand that one serial can't be used twice simultaneously on the same network, but is it not possible to install it for a second time on a new laptop instead? I'm not trying to trick the software or anything, it just seems ridiculous that I would have to buy a whole new copy of an incredibly expensive package just because my computer needs to be replaced. Everywhere I look people reiterate the "1 laptop and 1 desktop" allowance in the terms of agreement, but I can't tell if that's semantic or if the software actually determines what kind of computer it's being used on and communicates with a database.
    Thanks for any advice! Having to re-purchase the whole studio would be both infuriating and financially debilitating.

    If you are getting rid of your old macbook, then why would you not be able to install on a new one, as long as you delete it from you old macbook if you re-sell it.
    I'd be more worried about compatibility... Will FCP Studio 2 be compatible with a new Mac Book, I'm not sure... From a quick search I did, it seems to crash with Snow Leopard...
    You may need to purchase an upgrade. And should you purchase an upgrade, don't install the old version first, just have the serial # ready.

  • Although photo appears beautiful on phone screen, when reviewed in gallery, half the picture has a large line going through it.  Any ideas?  I went to VZN and they replaced my first new phone 3 days ago for this same issue.

        I'm sorry your pictures appear different in your gallery sillyymom. I know its frustrating with viewing important images. Are you using a 3rd party picture application? do you have any apps that may be conflicting with your pictures. Have you tried to review your picture settings?
