Re-installing Chess without disks

A client recently deleted the Chess application from his operating system (OS 10.3.9) and wants it back, but can't find his system disks. I have a copy of Panther (10.3.7) on 3 .ISO disk images but upon browsing them in Pacifist I can't find Chess anywhere on them. Short of re-installing the whole system, I'd like to find the Chess package on my disk images--but where should they be? Are they invisible? If that doesn't work, where could I find a download of that application? Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro 2.0/2GB/100GB Mac OS X (10.4.6) also own Powerbook G4 1.67/1GB/100GB

Toolshed4:
"Disproportionate" is a good way to describe it. It would have been far more proportionate to purchase a set of Panther disks. He probably had his eye on a new computer anyway. Hope his doesn't lose chess and his install disks at the same time again. It could be expensive. Thanks for posting back.
Good luck.

How to install photoshop without disk but with serial number

Any ideas on how to install a permission of PS if I've lost the installation disk but do have the serial number?

Hello Scotty,
you should download a trial version e.g. there >>> http://www.adobe.com/downloads.edu.html >>> https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop
and change it after that in a "real" version.
For elder versions come back please or use https://www.google.de/search?newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=adobe+download+photoshop+&oq=ad obe+download+photoshop+&gs_l=h….

New HDD, trying to install Lion without disk utility or a mac (HELP!!!!!!!)

Hello everyone,
Here follows my situation: my previous and precious hard drive died a few months back inside my macbook pro. I bought a brand new one and am trying very hard to find a way to install the os lion on it but I cannot seem to find any plausible way or answers for people stuck only with a Windows pc to do this work.
It is fair to mention that I no longer have my old installation DVD`s from Apple, although, I have the os dmg file to work with, an external hdd 1tb, dvd-rw´s, the lot.
Did use a software called Transmac but it would just somehow, not cut it for me, neither trial nor full version. My External WD hard drive is fully formatted into HFS+ by the way.
Also tried two virtual machines in order to use os lion on my Windows 7 and do the farly simple trick with disk utility itself, but those will not work for unfortunate people like me that are using AMD processors, once again, back to the drawing board.
Would any of you guys know a way around this?
Heard we could convert the dmg into iso and burn it using Nero and making it still bootable on Macbooks. Nevertheless, I have tried this option with two different combinations and it will still not boot.
If anyone could just light up my way I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you so much for your input here guys!
I've manage to do it using the same software I was blaming here on the post: Transmac!
So if you find yourself having the same trouble; persist!!!
Use macdrive 8 or later on windows 7 (or other windows OS if it works for you) and format the whole external hard drive or usb stick to htf+, unfortunatelly I could not find a way to format only a smaller partition on there.
Them go to Transmac, you need to have the full version in order for it to work and run as admin, the DMG file will them be expanded, in my case OS Lion was 3.50 roughly and expanded to 3.88.
Choose "format with image" (something like that, correct me if I am wrong, there should be only two options for it anyway) confirm all the following options and wait for it to do its trick.
Should anything go wrong with the writting procedure, go back and look into the small details one more time, two, three if needed.
I can safely say that this is the easiest method I have came across to create a bootable external drive for mac using Windows given the keys I had to work with.
Best of luck!

Installing software without disk

I am a new Mac user and need to know how to install once I have downloaded software? Where do I go to install once downloaded?

Hello Henderv, welcome to Macintosh.
Open the Macintosh HD icon on your Desktop. Inside is a folder called Applications. That's where you should put all the programs you download.
Most downloaded software comes in a disk image format. Double click the downloaded .dmg file, and a virtual "disk" should appear on your Desktop. Open the "disk", and you will see one of two things: A application (also called a "program"), or an application installer. If it is the actual application, just drag it from there to the /Applications folder in your hard drive. If it's an installer program, double click it and follow the instructions. The program will be installed for you.
After that's done, you can "eject" the mounted disk image (drag the disk icon to the trash), and then you can delete the downloaded .dmg file (drag it to the trash.)

Can I install CS3 without disk? Have key registered.

My old laptop crashed and of course after my move, I can't find my cs3 disks.
I have my serial key registered through Adobe (shows up in my "sign-in" info when I log into the website) and all.
I tried finding the download files through the website but it kees tossing me to cs6 and well, I can't justify that money when I had cs3...
Thanks for the help in advance. I was thinking I'd try to contact adobe by email but apparently I can't do that and the call wait time is heinous and the link to chat apparently "has been deleted" anytime I click on it... Sigh.

This might help, also read the instruction on the page to avoid error.

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

Yes.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

Installing Windows without Leopard Disk

Just wondering if there was any way I could install windows without the leopard disk. I'm at work right now and was hoping to install windows vista but my leopard disk is at home.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have a copy of Windows Vista with you, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Vista on it. The only point is you cannot install the necessary drivers at this time since you do not have the Leopard DVD.

Installing Programs Without The Disk Drive Icon Loading On Desktop

Hey,
I am super anal and don't like any icons on my desktop and I am wondering how, when installing programs, you can install them without the disk drive icon being left on the desktop?
Thanks.

Oh, right, sorry, one thing I didn't mention. I DO like to have CDs and DVDs and such show up on the desktop when I (seldomly) have them in my computer.
So, is there any other way? If I uncheck the CDs and DVDs line then this solves the disk drive icon but also gets rid of my CD icons.

How can I install CS6 without a disk drive?

Hi there!
I recently purchased the Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium addition.
The sales person at the store assured me that despite not having a CD drive in my Macbook Pro there would be a way to install/download the suite with the product information in the box.
So far, all I have been able to acheive is recovering my serial code. I am compeltely at a loss of how to even begin to start the install process without the a disc drive.
Is this possible or did the sales person send me down the wrong road?
Thanks in advanced!

Can't do factory restore & only disks that keep ejecting are the osx install and apps disks

First of all let me say, this is my first Apple computer and I'm not experienced in forums. Please do not read rudeness into what is actually frustration at searching forever for a solution and trying not to wish I had been talked into an Apple. With that said....
I've had my iMac for about a year and a half. We had lost our internet and were using a hotspot for awhile so we could look for another provider and get online if we needed to. One day I signed on and, we didn't have an isp mind you, but the browser opened up to the dominant isp in this area saying a virus was detected coming from this iMac address? I thought that was strange and panicked so decided to do what I would on a pc, just restore the whole thing to factory settings. Everything was going smooth, (my updates were at 10.6.8 at the time)... when I restored I was back at 10.6.2. (osx disk) I was doing systems updates and one apparently hung.... when told to restart, I did... but the computer would never boot back up. It would turn on.... go to gray screen... then blue screen... then shut off. I couldn't boot in safe mode, pram reset did nothing, smc reset did nothing, couldn't hold 'd' to get to diagnostics, couldn't boot to recovery... it kept spitting out disks after trying to read them... with all those solutions I found online and nothing helping I had to call Apple... they couldn't help over the phone because Apple Care expired, unless I purchased help... this frustrated me because every where I found my problem and a different solution their Apple Care had expired too.... so had to set an appt at an Apple store.
So took it in to Apple, just got it back yesterday. I let them know I was restoring to factory settings so wasn't worried about losing anything. When I picked it up, I was told no charge... it was a software issue they saw where it hung and fixed it. I tried to ask questions about the 'software repair' but they didn't seem to want to answer my questions. It just says 'software repair' on my order. So I asked 'okay, so it's back to factory settings like when I bought it?' I was told yes and I said great that was my goal anyway. I get home and it's NOT like when I first purchased it or like a factory restore. Everything I was doing before it crashed is on there. So I'm back to trying to do a factory restore. But for some reason now, it seems the only disks that keep self ejecting are the osx install and application disks. I still can't do a boot recovery, AHT, or 'c' boot... since the apple disks eject I can't use start up to get to them.
I find it odd that both the oxc install disk and applications disk would be damaged at the same time when they both previously worked. I called the Apple Store where I took it to talk to the geniuses that worked on it because I had a question about the repair they did....
Apple: I'm sorry we don't offer tech support
Me: I understand but I had a question about the repair done from there the other day
Apple: We are just a store and can't answer tech questions
Me: I understand and get that but since I took my mac to your store to be worked on I thought I could ask the person that worked on it a question about the 'software repair' and meaning and what software was repaired
Apple: No you will have to set another apt to bring your computer in if you are still having problems
Me: UGHHHHHH (pulling hair out)
So (a little late huh?) to make a long story short giving what I stated above:
Why is it, only the osx install and application disks not working now? They worked before taking it to Apple
What can I do at this point?
Can you do a factory restore without disks on a Mac?
If by chance both disk did for some reason go out, how do I get them replaced?
If I gave TMI without enough important info let me know.
My OS X install disk says version 10.6.2 on it
About this Mac currently says Mac OS X version 10.6.8
Batteries died on keyboard and mouse so am using usb wired keyboard and mouse
At some point I had used bootcamp and then later found parallels so I could install a Corel product and keep using... could some windows files be messing something up in there somewhere?
It used to say Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and I could have sworn I saw it said 'snow leopard' in there somewhere, now I can't even find that word in search on the computer. Long post I know but trying to set what was going on at the time I took it in.
I'm not sure what else needs to be added to get this to the correct thread or help. As I stated my goal is to have it like I just pulled it out of the box for the first time so no solution will scare me off about loss of data.
Thanks for any help.

Wow, sorry to hear of your experience. Seems strange that your disk would just eject like they did. It could be a lot of things but more than likely you just kind of have to start all over.
What I would do is insert your system disk and instead of going immediately to an install I would go to disk utility and erase the drive. That will erase everything on the disk and give you a new blank disk to start with. After that I would try to reinstall the system. Assuming that goes well then you should be restored to where it was when you purchased it. After that you can reinstall all your applications or personal files. I hope you have good backups.
I remember one time I was having a similar problem and don't ask my why I did it but I actually could not get it to install a system. I removed both of my ram sticks, shut the computer down for about 10 minutes including unplugging it from the wall plug, then reinstalled the ram, plugged it back in and started up from the system disk and all worked just fine. To this day I have no idea if pulling the ram helped but I have never had to do it since and for some dumb reason that solved the problem I was having, which is the same problem you are having now. Call it voodoo but it worked.
Good Luck!!
