Re installing software on a Intel iMac vers. 4.1

I have an 20.1 inch white Intel iMac, vers. 4.1, which came with 10.4.4 install discs. I have updated it
through the 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. BUT I have lost the OSX10.5 (Leopard) install disc
and wonder if the machine crashes, and I have to install the software from scratch, would it be
possible to install software directly from Snow Leopard, without having to use the original discs
AND the OSX 10.5 discs first. Or do I have to buy the OSX 10.5 retail disc again, which is difficult to
obtain these days, and is quite expensive if one finds one. Thanks for reply, Karel.

Thanks, Kappy, that's excellent, I do have the Retail Snow Leopard. A load off my mind. All the best, Karel.
Sorry, pressed wrong button, the 10 points (solved my question), should go to you.

  • Installing Photoshop 5 on Intel iMac?

    I want to use my Photoshop program on my new Intel iMac. My full program is PS5, which had to be installed before I can upgrade to PS7. Has anyone found a work-around the problem of installing this older version of Photoshop on the new OSX? I don't want to pay $600+ all over again for new software if I can help it.

    I am reasonably sure that version of PS is an OS 9
    only application. You cannot install it on an Intel
    Mac. If your PS7 is an OS 9 version, you couldn't
    update to it anyway.
    Adobe has upgrade prices for their software. You may
    be able to upgrade to an OS X version for less than
    $600.00.

    Thank you for taking time to answer my question. Unfortunately, it is the answer I feared I would get. But the good news is that Adobe HAS an upgrade solution. I have paid for the full version twice as I have two PS5s. (We own a photography studio in case that sounds weird!)

  • Installing earlier OS on intel iMac

    Hello ,
    My intel iMac G5 came pre-installed with Mac 10.5 which I have updated to 10.5.8.
    My problem is that I love the pinstripes of the old Puma/Jaguar systems.(Strange I know !!).
    My 1st iMac G4 came pre-loaded with Panther so I just missed out on the Jaguar stripes..
    I have got a full retail copy of OS X 10.2 and I was wondering if there was any way I could install it on my iMac G5--perhaps on an external hard drive that I could boot into? I want to keep Leopard but would love to have the option of booting into Jaguar.I have been reading up on this and it looks as though you are unable to install an OS earlier than the one that was pre-loaded but I just wondered if anyone knew of some way it could be done.
    Thanks for any help you are able to give.

    Thanks for the reply Stefan .
    I was hoping there may have been some kind of software programme that would let me run Jaguar similar to the one that lets you run Classic on OS X Leopard.
    Too bad--I'll have to keep searching for a Jaguar - type theme to mod my Leopard.( I used to have a good one on Os X Panther that was called Janther).
    Thanks again Stefan.

  • No software update on Intel iMac?

    Hi all,
    Just got a new Intel iMac 20" and installed DVD Studio Pro 4 from the original DVD. Wanted to upgrade to 4.0.3 via Software Update but it doesn't show a single update available, not for Compressor, not Pro Runtime etc...
    Is this because it's an Intel iMac? Will there be other updates or do I have to wait for a universal binary version? Is DVDSP not officially supported on Intel?

    Without actually having an Intel mac to hand I can't be sure - but can you not go to the Apple website and manually download the update?

  • 10.6 will not install on my 20" intel imac circa 2007....HELP

    I have a 20" intel imac that I purchased new in to 2007. It has the 2.1x (can't remember and I'm at work, sorry..) intel core 2 duo processor and 2G of memory. I have tried 2 separate 10.6 disks (one 10.6 and one 10.6.3) to upgrade my imac from 10.5.8 to 10.6 in order to use my new magic trackpad and both disks say "OSX cannt be installed on this computer". Please help. I have browsed on the forums around the net and have tried to find what the problem is, I have tried running the install and booting the computer from the disks and neither worked. I am not very proficient with programming or the behind the scenes of my mac, but I think I have managed to reset the PRAM , which was a suggestion on a forum, but still no luck. Can someone help me out. It would be greatly appreciated!

  • How to install software from disk onto imac

    how to install software from disk onto imac

    Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

  • SOLVED-Install not booting on Intel Imac-white screen

    I just tried to install Archlinux with the new install disc fo the fifth time, without succes.
    When I restart the computer all i get is a white screen.
    Restarting the install disc, mounting the harddisk partitions and arch-chrooting I can get into the installed linux, I can do everything even install new programs and get these working but when starting normally it's the white screen again.
    It is an Intel Imac dual core with 27" screen on whitch the old install disc did it's work flawlessly.
    Any idea where I can start searching?

    How long do you wait on that white screen?
    I have arch on two different macs - and early iMac, and an early macbook.  They both have long delays on the white EFI screen.
    There are allegedly ways to fix this but I have never bothered as I do not reboot either of these machines that often.  Many reports claim it should be a 30 second delay, but on the IMac I'm typing from now (in arch) it is at least 2 minutes.  Whenever I need to reboot this machine, I just type reboot, then go for coffee.

  • Software compatibility with Intel iMac

    I know it's rather early in the game, as it were, but does anyone know if Appleworks comes bundled with the new Intel iMacs. I don't see it listed, but could this be an oversight? Or is Apple getting away from it? I have used it for quite some time and I have many documents in Appleworks, but have no idea what I'd do with them if I got a new Intel iMac--sure, convert them, but to what? I don't look forward to having to "tweak" each doc, as I have had to do in the past when converting from one program to another . . . . Anyone know?

    Not yet. Peggy, one of the Appleworks mavens here, is at macworld and is going to try to find out for us.

  • Problems Installing VPN Client on Intel iMac Core Duo

    We tried installing the VPN Client software (v.4.9.00.0050) on an Intel Core Duo iMac by dragging the application into the applications folder on the hard drive. When trying to start VPN Client, it gave a message referring to "architecture not supported) and wouldn't start up. We have installed this successfully on other macs outside our office without problems. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    For such appkcation to work in a platfrom you need to install the application using the stansard installer supplied with the application.

  • Mac OS X Server: Can I install that in a Intel iMac running OS X Tiger?

    Hello,
    I really want to buy the Mac OS X Server Tiger Software, but before that I still have lots of questions, so here is just one question:
    - How can I install that on my iMac Intel running Tiger OS X? Do I need to make a pertition of my MBR Hard Drive in order to be able to fully run Mac OS X Server on my 2Ghz Intel Mac?
    Thank you, hope you got a solution for my problem.

    > How can I install that on my iMac Intel running Tiger OS X
    Umm, you mean other than inserting the DVD, double-clicking the 'Install Mac OS X Server' app and following the on-screen instructions?
    >Do I need to make a pertition of my MBR Hard Drive in order to be able to fully run Mac OS X Server on my 2Ghz Intel Mac?
    If you want to, sure. There's no need to do this, though. The only reason to create a separate partition is if you wanted to dual-boot your machine so that you could switch between Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, but that's entirely optional.

  • What is the best solution these days for running PC software on my intel iMac?

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Check Point VPN-1 Secure Client Software Compatibility w/ Intel iMac

    Is this SW compatible with the new iMac? I'm trying to install a Secure Client SW but it stops in the middle of installation giving out only a general message - there were errors during the installation. Please help.

    The CheckPoint VPN-1 Secure Client software is only compatible with Mac OS v 10.3 (Panther). I had the same issue and am waiting for CheckPoint to update the software.

  • Netmeeting compatible video conferencing software for the Intel iMac?

    I am currently using XMeeting V0.2, but the received video leaves a lot to be desired. The image quality, even at a slow frame rate and on a gigabit LAN, is no where near as good as on a PC running Netmeeting. In contrast, the transmitted video is perfect. I've played with the settings, but nothing seems to help. Anyone using XMeeting? If so, what settings are you using? Any other video conferencing Intel Mac software (free to cheap) I should try?

    The only one listed on
    http://www.applechat.info/
    for Netmeeting is:
    ohphoneX
    Don't know if it is Intel Mac compatible.
    You may also want to find out if any of the Windows solutions work well on Boot Camp or Parallel's Workstation, or Wintel Mac OS X which offer the ability to run a variety of Windows versions on Intel Macs.

    All icons now tiny on my 27" iMac.  Can't find anything in preferences to change the sizes.

    There isn't a way to change those sizes. You must reduce your display resolution.
    In Display System preferences, Display tab, select Scaled.
    Then, pick a resolution that is sufficiently large.
