Reinstall Aperture 3 from update disk

I have installed Aperture 3 from update disk and have worked though most of the problems by shutting off some of the features and patience with the processing. However I am concerned about the need for a fresh reinstall at some point which would first involve removing current Aperture 3 application. The update disk requires a prior Aperture application. Aperture 2 is gone except in receipts and Time Machine. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks Carl

Carl, I was told that I could install Aperture 3 from upgrade disc even though I had trashed A2,since my A2 registration was still on Mac and if not I would be asked for it. My reinstallation went through without a moments hesitation and no numbers were required.
good luck,

How to reinstall Aperture from scratch

Hello everyone,
Could you please tell me how to re-install Aperture from the begining e.g. I have to put the SN again?
The problem is the program does not recognize my SN after the updates and I have no idea why. I bought this program through academic version.
Thank you very much,
James

James, if you need to reinstall the program, you are going to have to remove all Aperture related programs, folders and files, including plists and anything else that has Aperture in it. A file that the install program looks for is still on the system, and when the installation sees it, it goes into upgrade mode. Once you get rid of these files, the installation should work like a new install.
Do a search on all Aperture names files and see what you come up with. This should be pretty straight forward. This isn't Windows where things get written all over the disk, including the registry, and is almost impossible to remove.

Upgrade from Update Disk

When I bought my new MacPro, it came with 10.4.11 and I ordered the Leopard update disk that was available under Apple's offer. I haven't upgraded the MacPro yet because I do a lot of work in Photoshop 7 (and cannot afford the uprade to Photoshop CS3) which is not being upgraded to work with Leopard.
Instead, I thought I would upgrade my Powerbook G4 and having tried it once I started to get a lot of problems with connecting to my home wireless LAN and reverted back to Tiger.
I really want to make the switch to Leopard and am considering installing Leopard on an external disk. My question is: - Is this option available from the update disk (i seem to recall it going straight into the process to install on the Powerbook) or do I need to purchase a new set of Leopard disks from the retailer?
Thanks & regards,
Cliff

I am sure the anti-pirating laws of most first world nations are similar. "Legally" you need to buy a retail version of Leo for your PowerBook. The End User License for the upgrade disks I'm sure limit the legal use to the new Mac.
You might post more details about your wireless issues after legally upgrading the PowerBook and let folks have at it for you.
I recommend this Mac OS X updating FAQ from Señor Brody to prepare for any upgrading that you perform.

Installing DW8 from update disk

Recently I had to reformat my wifes computer, Everything was
backed up. And in that process I have gotten all but Dreamweaver to
work. I cannot seem to get DW8 to install from the update disk. I
am using OSX 10.4.6.
Before I reformatted this disk, I did the DW8 update without
a problem. As I recall, I was using DW3 that ran on OS9.
Can this be an issue that i will have to reload OS9 to make
DW8 work?
I tried calling Adobe about 4:45 PST and when 5 pm came they
cut off the phones. I really liked that alot.
Anyhow, any insite to get this to work would be nice.
Jim Rich

Try installing the original DW what ever version you have, if
that works
then you can probably update to 8 from there.

Reinstalling fonts from system disk

I need to reinstall the Helvetica and Times fonts that came with Tiger 10.4, but I don't want to reinstall the system and go through all the updates. In fact the 10.4.7 installer won't install on top of 10.4.10 anyway. Even if it did, the Custom Install option doesn't let you install just the basic fonts (you can only install additional foreign-language fonts). Is there a way to grab just a couple fonts off the Tiger disk?

Restoring Lost OS X Files
If you erase or otherwise "lose" an OS X system application or utility (such as Mail or Disk Utility, for example) you can restore them without having to reinstall OS X.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Read the documentation. Use Pacifist to extract a fresh copy of the missing application from the file archives on your OS X Installer disc. The file archives are usually found on the installer disc in the /System/Installations/ folder.
After restoring the application you need to reinstall the OS X Combo Updater for the version of OS X you currently have installed. This assures the new copy of the application is updated to the current version.
Lastly, it's a good idea to repair permissions.

Need to Reinstall Mail from Leopard Disk

How do I reinstall just the Mail.app from the 10.5 disk?
If I do, will all the current mail boxes and messages stored on my hard drive still be there?
Mail is from .Mac
Thanks

Mike,
Reinstalling Mail will not affect anything in your HOME folder. This includes anything in your mailboxes, any of your settings for Mail, etc.
Look on versiontracker.com for an application named Pacifist. Pacifist will allow you to browse the contents of the Leopard install disk, and extract/install just Mail.app. Are you sure that you need to reinstall Mail, and if so, why?

Cant Reinstall OS from Install Disk

I am attempting to wipe the hdd on the macbook pro and reinstall the os. Using the bundled disks from the original packaging I can insert the disk, choose install OSX and I get a password request. After that the macbook pro restarts and I get a pale grey screen, nothing else. Tried rebooting with the disk in place and holding down 'C'. Same again, pale grey screen and nothing else.
Anyone else encountered this?

After putting in the DVD, you need to restart with the C-butten pushed until the apple loge appears.

How to reinstall safari from original disks

Brand new Macbook Pro, 2 wks old; Safari won't open links in Mail, and I got one error message instructing me to re-install it from the original system disks. But, under "Install bundled apps" on the original disk #1, there is no safari in the package, even under "Customize." The only other option is to install the entire system + apps all over again.
I'm celebrating 20 yrs of mac use this year but am new to leopard and being cautious.
Thanks for assistance.

Cynthia,
Have a look here.
If this is a new machine, and you are having problems that might indicate "broken" software, you probably have a disk error. This is quite common with new computers (Mac or otherwise), and the reason why many prefer too format (erase) a new computer's hard drive right away, then reinstall the system software themselves.
Even though it will take much longer, and you can use the link I have given to install just Safari, I am going to recommend you erase that hard drive and start over.

Errors when reinstalling windows from recovery disks

My laptop crashed and could no longer find Windows, so I ordered a recovery disc (TR-IM00209299 - Win7 SP1 64Bit HomePremium (NH)) via the Toshiba Recovery Media Shop. I have now received the Windows 7 Recovery discs but they do not successfully install, and I'm unclear if this is an error on the discs I received, or an issue with the hardware. Below are the error details. Is this an error that any of you are familiar with? Please advise

I contacted Toshiba in parallel to making this post, and they suggested getting a new copy of the discs. I wasn't sure if it was likely to be a hardware or software problem, so thought I'd see if anyone on the forum could confirm either way. I'm waiting for the new discs to be sent out, and will come back and confirm if that cured the problem. Thanks Mister X

How long should it take to reinstall mavericks from Recovery Disk?

8 GB OF RAM onboard.

It depends on your internet connection. Mine is DSL 7 mbps and it takes +/- 2.5 hours to download the entire + 5 GB installer and then up to 30 minutes to install. Slower connection = will take longer.

After reinstall, Aperture 1.5.1 doesn't show vault images from backup drive

Hi folks,
Okay, I am stuck. For some reason Aperture would not start when I double click the icon, so I reinstalled it from the disk and upgraded it to 1.5.1. I have all the images I was using before the crash backed up in a vault on my back up drive but when I open Aperture the folders and project do not appear in Aperture. I right click on the vault and say open with Aperture.app but nothing happens and I can't seem to access the files with Aperture.
If anyone can help, it would be really great and appreciated.
Thank you
Scott

Hi Scott,
Have you checked the Aperture - > Preferences and library location?
Default should be ~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary
Is there a ~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary in Finder?
If so, how large it is? does it seem to contain the images(sizewise)?

Is it possible to wipe out iMac with ML upgrade and THEN reinstall SL from disk, back up with TM?

Iv'e been going round and round with my iMac ever since Genius bar employees "upgraded" me to ML while replacing Seagate HD per the recall. THis is a late 2009 27-inch iMac that came with SL.
What I think might solve this once and for all is to completely wipe out the hard drive and THEN reinstall SL from the disk that was shipped to me by Apple.
Here's what has happened thus far:
1. iMac was working fine, but per emails from Apple, replacing the Seagate HD that came with the computer was advised. Made appt, took it in after backing up to external hard drive.
2. Picked up the iMac first week of August. Found that they had upgraded me to ML.
3. Proceeded to put back contents of backup from July 27 (before the hard drive was replaced, all saved in SL).
4. Immediately after back up was reinstalled, realized that iPhoto contents (ALL of my saved files/photos, movies, etc, both work and personal) are inaccessible. Also, fan will not stop running (and this is true even when there is no user signed in, ie, no CPU-intensive programs running). Programs that worked in SL no longer work with ML (iWeb, etc).
5. Have been in contact with Apple numerous times, and finally got a senior tech to work with me via phone. I had a SL disk borrowed from a friend (the 27-inch was a replacement for original iMac that was defective and never received any install disks with new iMac Jan 2010). Per instructions from Apple tech, backed up iMac, then tried to reinstall with SL disk. When the progress wheel only kept spinning, he said that the disk I was using must be incompatible and I waited for a replacement SL install disk to be mailed to me.
6. Called back when I got the new SL disk, and then we tried it again. When the progress did the same thing, ie just spinning, Apple tech said that I must have a hardware problem and he instructed me to make another appoitment with the Genius bar. I did that and am supposed to take it in tonight.
7. Apple tech said it must be a hardware problem, that the super drive would not read the install disk, BUT, the super drive (actually both of them, one inside the machine, one external super drive purchased separately) has no problems reading audio CDs. It is ONLY the SL reinstall disk.
That, along with the continually running fans that have also been deemed by Apple tech to be bad hardware (which were both fine before the upgrade to ML) make me think that it is the ML software that does not work properly with this late 2009 iMac. It was designed for SL, not ML.
I suspect that if the hard drive on the iMac is completely wiped clean and SL then reinstalled with the disk that was mailed to me, this would put my machine back in order with SL as the OS.
I'd like to try that BEFORE I take this iMac back to the Apple Store. I have the back up from July (before ML was put on as the OS) and that's what I'd like to put back on. I can more easily save jpegs that were savde after ML was put on as the OS than I can save everything (one by one) that was on this iMac from Jan 2010 till July 2013.
Is there anyone who can give me a yes or no, whether this would work or not? Wipe it all out, start fresh with a new SL installation and back up from that July 2013 backup?

Yes it is. That is why you got a set of reinstal disc with your Mac. For just this purpose.
But if you have a 2009 model it might of come with Leopard. But you should still be able to use that reinstall disc or the retain Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade to SL to restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup.
First you need to boot the system from either the original reinstall DVD or the retail SL DVD and use Disk Utility to Repartition the drive as One Partition. you MUST do that to get rid of the Mt Lion Recovery HD partition. Once that is done there should be an option to Restaore your Mac from a TM backup. Have the backup drive connected before you start the system from the Reinstall DVD, either of them whichever you chose.

Reinstalled Aperture after a computer erase and re-install and now it will not open. Anyone have a solution? I'm operating on 10.6.8 and have an older version of Aperture (2010)

I re-installed Aperture after a computer erase and disk repair. Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open. The message I get is this: Aperture cannot b opened because of a problem. Then goes on to say "check with the developer blah blah blah..." even though this is an Apple product. These are the things that drive me to distraction. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion for a fix??

Your Aperture version?
Is your signature Mac OS X (10.4) current?
Reinstalled from my back-up hard drive using migration assitant. Now it will not open.
Aperture is best be reinstalled by running the installer, not by migrating.
Before you spend money, reinstall Aperture from your installation media (or from the Trial version download Aperture 3.1 Trial , if you are running Aperture 3)
Then update it immediately from the Apple  menu> Software update, launch it, and enter your serial number(s).
Are you really sure that there is no crash log?
The message you are quoting is usually a part of the crash report, when Aperture crashes directly on opening. Do you see this?
Aperture cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install available updates for the application and OS X.
This report will be sent to Apple automatically.
And what we would need to see, are the first 50 lines of the "This report ...."
