Reinstall Mail without reinstalling Tiger?

Is it possible to reinstall the Mail application independent of the OS install process? I have not been able to find a download for Mail.

If you extract Mail from your original installation disks using Pacifist as mentioned above, make sure to run the latest Combo System Update after that in order to make sure that you have the correct version of Mail (only parts of Mail might have been updated in between the version of your original system disks and what currently is the latest version...

  • A way to re-install Mail without a full system reinstall?

    So, I did something dumb and deleted the Mail program.
    I was thinking I would just restore it from the disks that came with my iBook but the only option that gives me is a complete systems software reinstall. I don't want to do that for a number of reasons, the main one being that I don't have room on my drive and don't have the hours it will take me to back up the gigs of work I have on this hard drive.
    So, any suggestions on how to get Mail back without the full re-install? is that even possible?

    You may reinstall the Mail application using your Tiger installation disks as described here:
    Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
    You should reinstall the appropriate system update afterwards:
    Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update for PPC
    Note that you shouldn't reinstall just Mail without also reinstalling the combo update afterwards, and that lack of free space in your disk may cause the update process to fail and bring your entire system down...

  • HT1338 evr since i put a child lock on my Mac its never been the same .. now i cant even open my yahoo mail without it wanting me to reinstall this can someone please help me work this out

    ever since i put a child lock on my Mac its never been the same .. now i cant even open my yahoo mail without it wanting me to reinstall this, can someone please help me work this out

    What "child lock" are you talking about?
    Do you mean you set up a Managed account (Parental Controls), or some other software?
    For Parental Controls, select the account in Users & Groups and uncheck the "Enable parental controls" checkbox.

  • Saving Mail before erasing hard drive and reinstalling tiger

    I might need to erase my hard disk and reinstall Tiger. I would like to keep my mail app how it is. Last time I tried syncing my Mail App to my online mail accounts not all the mail was downloaded to MAIL. Anyone know some ways to go about this.

    First reinstalling Tiger is rarely necessary.
    Second .Mac sync only syncs the rules and preferences for Mail. It does not sync messages.
    See KB 301239, How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.4 files.

  • Reinstalling mail without install disks

    I just got a new hard drive installed--and accidently deleted my mail program.
    They updated my system, so my install disks are old. How can I reinstall "mail" without the install discs?
    Can I restore my mac to original settings??
    Aaaaaahhh!!! Thanks

  • Reinstalling Tiger after Leopard

    Quick question for you Apple experts!
    I have loaded Leopard, and much as I have enjoyed the few days I've had it running, sadly, my TallyGenicom printer no longer works. I've e-mailed Tally and they say "IF we make a new driver we will let you know." (Very reassuring!)
    So the only way I can get back to printing seems to be to reinstall Tiger. My question is - is there likely to be any problems or repercussions installing an older system over a newer one?
    Many thanks,
    Andy

    How much does a new printer cost? Is your old printer something you cannot live without?
    If you printer company is not going to provide support, I would dump them and get a modern printer that likes Leopard rather than going backwards just to accommodate a single item. There are printers that cost less than Leopard costs.

  • Reinstalling Tiger: Software Update Missing Many Updates

    I've seen a few similar topics on this issue, but only in so far as Software Update missing an update here or an update there. I am currently reinstalling Tiger on a Power Macintosh G3 B&W that has been heavily upgraded. The system specs are as follows..
    1GHz PowerLogix G3 (using MAChSpeed to enable full processor speed since the included CPU Director software won't work in 10.4.11)
    1GB of RAM
    128MB Radeon 9200 Graphics card connected to an LG 1952 display and set to 1440x900 / millions of colors
    I'd go on, but the remainder of the hardware upgrades should have no effect on Software Update to the best of my knowledge. Previously I had this machine running 10.4.11, and through the Software Update program I had installed all of the recommended updates, which included numerous security updates, Safari 4.0.3, and iTunes 8.2.1. Everything was running perfectly smoothly, but after having tested several software configurations and having decided on one in particular, I set out to reinstall Tiger from scratch in order to keep things as clean as possible. I've tried several different times now with the same results each time. Once the system is up and running, regardless of whether or not I install MAChSpeed before or after running Software Update, Software Update simply does not provided all of the updates that I believe are actually there. It did see and did allow me to install the following updates..
    10.4.11 Combo update (I installed this one separately before any other updates)
    Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2
    iTunes Phone Driver 1.0
    Migration and DVD/CD Sharing Update
    Quicktime 7.6.4
    Security Update 2009-005 (PPC)
    J2SE 5.0 Release 4
    Java for Mac OS X 10.4, release 5
    [ditto], release 6
    [ditto], release 7
    [ditto], release 8
    [ditto], release 9
    Unless Security Update 2009-005 is meant to be a combined security update (doubtful), there are obviously several security updates that are missing. Also, I'm surprised that Software Update saw and installed Quicktime 7.6.4 but didn't see or install the latest PPC versions of iTunes or Safari. Safari 4.0.3 as I understand requires Security Update 2009-002, so naturally it would not see or install Safari without that update being installed first. While I don't necessarily mind installing updates manually (downloading them individually off Apple's support site and then installing by hand), I really prefer using Software Update to better automate the process. Up until now I have never had any problems with Software Update, but this problem is certainly aggravating. My primary concern is that I have no idea what updates are necessary and what updates are not necessary to ensure proper and relatively secure operation of my system, and I have no way of knowing whether or not Software Update will see any future updates (provided that Apple continues to support Tiger for a little while longer). If Software Update is missing crucial updates out of the gate, how can I be sure that it will see any further crucial updates that may hopefully be released?
    I know that's part question / part rant, but I've been wracking my brain for the past few days over this one. Any information that could help solve this problem will definitely be appreciated, especially since my B&W is my preferred browsing machine.
    Incidentally, my iBook, a Clamshell FW SE, is currently running the same setup that my B&W was previously running.. 10.4.11 with Quicktime 7.6.4, iTunes 8.2.1, and Safari 4.0.3, so as far as I can tell, this shouldn't be hardware related (my iBook is far less powerful than my B&W currently is). Also, a cursory glance at the Installed Updates list on my iBook definitely shows that my Software Update on my B&W is missing many updates.

    I reformatted the drive first and did a clean install. I'm currently in the process of downloading the standalone installers for Safari 4.0.3 and iTunes 8.2.1. It's looking like that's the solution at present, but I'm still curious as to why Software Update won't see any iTunes or Safari updates within the current system configuration's capabilities (speaking to both apps possibly being cumulative). I can't see Software Update simply not having those updates because there is newer version out, if indeed they are cumulative, since that would mean that anyone reinstalling or upgrading on an older machine would be forced to perform some of the updates manually where not too long ago they would have been able to simply use Software Update as a "one stop" solution.
    Oh well, maybe I'm just being too picky . I've had to deal with running around in circles to find software updates for manual installs for years with Windows systems, and Apple's "one stop" Software Update system was a wonderful, welcome change to that.

  • Reinstalling Tiger: Some Questions

    My Appologies if this has been covered before. Something is broken on my system. I'm not sure exactly what it is but there are certain software applications that cause kernal panics on my system while working fine on other systems running 10.4.11. I've done a lot of work trying to deal with the problem and managed to eliminate most of the possible causes. So the next stop in my attempt to solve this problem will be to reinstall Tiger. I've never done this before. Since I'm into audio production I have a lot of material on my hard drive that I would prefer not to reinstall. (Logic Pro Studio, for instance take about 4 hours to install.) In some cases I no longer have the installers for programs i purchased of the web. (At the time I didn't know what those little brown boxes where so I deleted them.) So the first question is can I reinstall OS 10.4.11 without reinstalling everything else? I have the original install disks for my computer (a 22 month old intel iMac 1.83 with 2 gig of ram). I can't remember if these will install all the way up to 10.4.11. I've done a system backup using the Lacie backup software and a lot of my important stuff is actually on 2 external hard drives. What else do I need to do before starting this and what's the procedure? Thanks

    Hi-
    To reinstall the OS without reinstalling all your software, you would use the Archive and Install option. It may also be good to "preserve user settings".
    Depending on your install disc version, may then need to update to 10.4.11. Download the Combo updater and that will get you up to snuff in one shot.
    Before you do the reinstall, double check that all your backup needs are current.
    One note, though the Archive and Install does replace the OS files, there is a chance that this will dilute the troubleshooting, as the presence of all third party items can't be discounted as suspect.
    Still, a troubleshooting step none the less, just thought I'd mention that...

  • Reinstalling Tiger from Leopard on a iMac G-5

    Can I reinstall Tiger from Leopard on iMac G-5 without loosing data? I would like to use OS9 again.
    Thanks. Ken Thomson

    keep in mid that archive and install downgrade suggested above doesn't give you the option to preserve users settings. this means that you'll have to go through account setup again. You old home directory should be buried somewhere in the previous system folder (see this [link|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107297]).

  • Reinstalling Tiger from Leopard

    Thanks, Ken Thomson

    If you have an Intel Mac, OS 9 (Classic) won't work in Tiger, either.

  • I just reinstalled tiger and Now my firewire drives won't mount

    Here's the deal:
    I just reinstalled Tiger 10.4.2 on my G4 sawtooth and now my firewire ports are gone. When I look at the Firewire bus in System Profiler, I just see the words: "Firewire Bus:" An that's it.
    I have seriously searched thes forums and have tried everything Ihave found so far.
    I have tried:
    1 - Unpluging everyhting, waiting 20 minutes, and rebooting
    2 - Resetting PRAM
    3 - Resetting Open Firmware
    4 - disk utility disk repair on main volume when booted from install DVD (firewire drive does not show up disk Utility)
    5 - Repaired permissions
    I'm pretty much dead in hte water without my Firewire Drive.
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks - Dustin

    Which OS? Post indicates 10.4.2 and configuration indicates 10.4.3 and 10.4.4. Try this. Disconnect all FW peripherals, shutdown, restart, reinstall 10.4.4 combo update, restart, launch Disk Utility, repair permissions, restart, open SysProfiler, click on Firewire, and ensure that it shows something like this for all your FW ports:
    Unknown Device:
    Manufacturer: Unknown
    Model: Unknown Device
    GUID: 0x0
    Maximum Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    Connection Speed: Up to 400 Mb/sec
    If so, then rehook the FWHD cable and turn the power on. Relaunch SysProfiler and you should be good to go.

  • Have to reinstall Tiger every 14 days

    Hello all,
    I have noticed that the last four months, I have had to reinstall Tiger every 14 days on my PowerBook, on the dot. I have had multiple problems that have caused me to reinstall, such as apps not launching, apps crashing, and kernel panics. Does anyone have any suggestions? I believe that a hardware failure may be imminent, but I don't know which component is failing, so I cannot replace it. Here are my kernel panics: http://pastebin.ca/582463
    Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for everyone's prompt replies. I tried running TechTool Deluxe last night, and it quit halfway through the process, while testing the Hard Disk. I am not sure if this means there is also a problem with the hard disk (it quit during the surface scan), or if it quit because of faulty RAM. I keep an "emergency boot drive" on this machine, that seems to remain unaffected by this issue, but is running an earlier version of OS X.4 (It's running X.4.0, while my main partition runs the latest). The issue will go away for about 14 days, then the issues will return forcing me to do a complete reinstall on my main partition. My PowerBook is my only computer, so I need it to work 99% of the time, without having to reinstall software every 14 days.
    I do not have any official training in repairing Apple notebooks, or Apple desktops, but I have repaired more than my fair share of Macs and PCs, including this PowerBook (I replaced the optical drive and hard disk in this machine).
    Also, is there any way of getting MemTest for free? I would prefer to not have to pay for an app I'll only use once or twice...
    Also, does anyone have any suggestions of where I can get quality RAM for this machine? The RAM upgrade I purchased about 2 years back has obviously failed, so I won't be buying any more of that brand of RAM. I am looking at replacing that 512 MB stick with a 1 GB stick.
    I should also mention that Activity Monitor sees the RAM size as constantly changing (for example, it will be at 768 MB for a while, then it will go down to 767.9, then back up to 768, and continue changing like that). Is this a symptom of bad RAM?
    Again, thanks for everyone's time and assistance.

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance
    Dingoh

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
    iTunes 9.2.1 download...

  • Reinstalling Tiger

    I want to reinstall Tiger but can't do it over Leopard so how can I go back to Tiger?

    After you backup all your important files, startup from your Tiger install disk. If your iMac came with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), you'll have to use the disk that came with your computer. A retail copy of Tiger or a copy from another Model Mac will not work. Start to install Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and on the "Select Destination" screen, choose your hard drive and click the "Options" button. Inside the options sheet, select "Erase and Install".

  • Problem with reinstalling Tiger

    I wanted to reinstall Tiger with X11, so I put in the disk and started the installation process. I went through the part where it asked if I wanted to save my home files and whatnot, and of course I said yes. However, a few seconds after the installation began, I wanted to cancel it. So I quit and tried to reboot to my regular Tiger on my Hard Drive. However, it didn't do this. Instead, I was taken to the installation setup again. At this point I figured the only way I could get back was to reinstall Tiger. However, it didn't give me the option of saving all my home files, so I selected the option that said "install tiger for the first time." When it was finished, my computer looked as though it had been wiped and I had lost everything. Fortunately, my applications were all still in the applications folder, and my old home folder was saved under a folder in my HD called Previous Systems.
    My question is: is there some way to restore my home folder, because right now I have my official home folder, maxlivingston, and within that, another folder (the one with all my stuff), named maxlivingston. Additionally, is there a way to restore all my old preferences and stuff.
    Oh, and one more question. Before, the Terminal shell was tcsh, now it's bash. Is this because I installed X11?

    Well, all I can say is you sure went about things the hard way. X11 can be installed separately and doesn't require reinstalling OS X. Furthermore, you never, ever, abandon an installation that's under way. Bash is your shell because that's the default shell used by OS X. You would have changed your shell to tcsh.
    As for your Home folder this article may help: How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install.

  • Uninstall leopard on my quicksilver g4 and reinstall tiger

    I have run into serious problems with leopard on my quicksilver mac. I get the kernal panic. I have tried disk warrior and it shuts down.I tried to reinstall tiger, which ran perfectly in the past. It tells me that I have to upgrade panther to 10.3. and then upgrade to tiger. I had been running Tiger for 2 years but it doesn't seem to know that. I can't get into the computer to do this. I repurchased Panther and tried to reinstall it and it says I can not do that. There was a system error. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

    It is very likely that your problem is not with the OS version you are running but with your hard drive. Try booting from an installer optical disk (preferably the Leopard retail one) & instead of running an installer, run Disk Utility from its "Utilities" menu. Try running its "Repair Disk" function on your internal hard drive. If this hangs or is unable to repair all problems it finds, you will probably have to reformat the drive. *Note that this will erase all data on it, so you must have a backup of at least your user files or you will lose everything!*
    Some background info:
    Disk Warrior is a fine utility but like any other such utility, you must run a version of it that is compatible with the Tiger/Leopard file system to prevent problems. Additionally, if you try to boot the computer from a Disk Warrior CD, it must include an OS capable of booting your Mac model. Refer to the Disk Warrior web site for more info about this.
    If your Tiger installer disk says that you must upgrade the existing OS, it is what is known as an "upgrade" disk, not a full or retail Tiger installer. It would not tell you that you have to "upgrade panther to 10.3" because 10.3 is Panther. It is telling you that it is only capable of installing Tiger (10.4) over Panther (10.3). Thus, if you have any other OS version such as Tiger or Leopard installed, it will tell you that it can't do the install.
    All retail & some other installer disks offer several install options, depending on what they find installed on the target drive. See for example Installing Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard for more info about this. The option & target drive you choose determines if the installation is possible or not.
