Reinstallation without disc

HI I hv macbook pro 13 inch early 2011 with having maverick osx but it been booting slow since month or two, i already hv backup of entire hdd, pls suggest me I want to format hdd and reinstall same osx but i dnt have osx disc to install(i didnt get with mac) thanks

Hello,
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Format & Reinstall the OS from there.
Or we could find the problem possibly, likely some 3rd party incompatibility...
What all 3rd party extentions are you running?

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • Reinstall iPhoto without discs?

    How do I reinstall iPhoto without discs?

    Was it installed on your Mac when you got it?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    how to install lexmark printer x1195 without disc

    I checked their site and it looks like Lexmark does not have Mac drivers for that printer for anything Mac OS newer than 10.3. However. if you Google Lexmark x1195 Mac driver, there are some third-party sites claiming to have solutions for Mac and Lion.
    In my experience, Lexmark has been hit or miss with Mac support. Some models work with Macs--some don't.  If you go shopping for another printer, you might wish to steer away from them.

  • Wipe and factory restore without discs

    Hi can i do wipe and factory restore my MBA without the discs , i have them some where but no idea where

    We did the same with my wife's MacBook Air before giving it to our daughter, but it is not necessary to erase the drive. Create an account for your wife, give her Administrator privileges, then log into her account and delete your account. Everything you did on the MacBook Air will be gone.
    Presumably, your MacBook Air is working well and your intent to 'wipe' it is not therapeutic, i.e., a clean install of the system software to remedy a software problem. If that is what you intend, then you will need to find your discs.

  • Restore Time Machine backup on fresh Leopard install without disc.

    I just got my iMac back from the Apple Store where they fitted a new hard drive with a fresh installation of Leopard. I've got an external drive with a Time Machine backup of my old HD, but don't know how to restore it. Unfortunately I forgot to ask them about it at the store and now realise that I don't have the Leopard install DVD with me, only the Tiger ones that came with the iMac (which obviously don't have the time machine option).
    Is there any way to restore my data without the disc? It seems odd that they would install leopard after asking me if I had a time machine backup if I would just have to install it again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd love to get my Mac back to normal without having to have my Leopard disc sent to me.

    You can use Migration Assistant, or re-create your user accounts from scratch and then selectively retrieve just what you need from your backups.

  • How to wipe macbook for resale without disc

    I have a late 2009 macbook Pro and I can't seem to find the disc.  I recently purchased a new Macbook so I need to know how I can wipe the old one for resale without the disc?  Or how I can get a disc to do it?

    Call 1-800-676-2775.  Pay a shipping/handling fee to get replacement disks.  Technically you need to give the original disks, which have all main and "secondary" softeare, plus a hardware test.
    Or you can buy an SL disk for $19 that has OSX but no secondary programs like iDVD.

  • Reinstalling Acrobat Pro 9 on new computer without disc

    My organization is purchasing new computers next year. We have two old computers that currently have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on them. I do not have a disc or install download information as this installation occurred quite some time ago before I worked here. I'm wondering if it's possible to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro on the new computers when we get them, then update them to Acrobat XI Pro - or somehow wind up with Acrobat XI Pro on both new computers without having to purchase brand new copies (which I believe are significantly more expensive than just the update - we're a non-profit, so money is tight). If this is indeed possible, how would I go about doing it?
    Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi SGPL,
    You can download Acrobat 9 from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    And then use the serial number to activate it.
    But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

  • Re-install MS office 2011 without disc?

    Hello,
    I bought my first Mac tonight: a used macbook pro. It is currently loaded with a fully functioning copy of office 2011 complete with valid produxt key. I would like to perform. A wipe/OS reinstall prior to use, but I don't want to lose use of the office program. I did not receive an office disc with the computer. Is there any way to download/install the program and then enter my valid product key? Is there anyway I can backup the program to an external drive, wipe the computer & reinstall the OS, and then move the office program back onto the computer afterwards? Thanks in advance!

    It may be legal it depends on how the original owner got the software. I have a legal license without media through the Office 2008 to 2011 upgrade program.
    However the easiest way is to contact Microsoft and purchase the media. If the license key is indeed legal they will be happy to sell you the media for a modest charge, I think it's less than $20.00. You will need to search Microsoft.com/Mac for their support but you should be able to find the contact information. If they determine it's a legitimate license key there should be no problem. If it's not legitimate then you will be given the opportunity to buy a legal license.

  • Reinstall iWork without disc

    Hi guys,
    I'm thinking of reinstalling Lion to get my Macbook running fresh again.
    However, I am facing some problems. I have just moved to another country and don't have any of the discs of my software with me (iWork and Office, mostly). After I have reinstalled Lion, is it possible for me to reinstall iWork without the discs? Will the Macbook somehow 'remember' my serial number or do I need the disc to reinstall it?
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    You need to have the original retail disk or a disk image of the disk. With iWork '09 there is no serial number for the installation. If you migrate from a clone or Time Machine backup of your existing system it might remember, but I wouldn't count on it. You will either need someone to send you the disk or buy the needed iWork apps from the Mac App Store.

  • Satellite L775D-S734​0 factory restore without disc?

    Is there any way to factory restore this computer without the CD disc? It has been acting odd ever since we've owned it and windows updates every daya for hours. I see that most people are downgrading these computers to windows 7. This one has 7 installed and it seems to be factory. Has a windows 7 product key on the bottom. This computer is my cousin's and he needs it for school. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

    See that computer's User's Guide starting on page 62 for full instructions and your options.  Your cousin was instructed to make recovery disks himself when he first started the machine but apparently he did not.
