Replaced hard drive, can't download earlier iMovie version

My original HD crashed.
I was abble to save the files and apps of that HD, but the app store purchased apps won't work on the new HD.
Now I can't download iMovie or other 10.7 apps since I run 10.6.8.... I am not buying Mountain Lion since I have a 2006 MacBook Pro.
Suggestions?

No guarantees but try this...
Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer
Quit iTunes.
See if that made a difference...

Replaced hard drive with no iPhoto or iMovie

the people at my apple store had to replace my hard drive on my macbook air because it crashed. i just recently noticed that i don't have iMovie or iPhoto. I was doing research on this and it said to go to my purchases in the app store and download it again but nothing shows up? please help because i don't have 30$ to spend to replace them

Apps are locked to the account that purchased them. Either get the password or purhases with your account.

2007 iMac, replaced hard drive, can't recover old files from old hard drive!

So I have a 2007 intell imac, the hard drive went out, I replaced it and bought a thermalake blacx hard drive doc to get my files off the old hard drive. I run Disk Utility, it can see the old hard drive but it can't repair it or verify it. Do I need to get a third party to get the info off hte old hard drive??? HELP!!!HELP!!!!!

You could use a data recovery service but that's going to be really expensive. You could also try a data recovery software like DataRescue III http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX415LL/A/prosoft-data-rescue-3
Or DiskWarrior http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
Either might help, I prefer DiskWarrior, but it's also possible that neither will. A hard lesson learned regarding backups I suppose.

Replaced hard drive, can't start up

I replaced my original hard drive in my 2.16GHz Mac Book pro with a brand new WD scorpio blue 320GB SATA hard drive.
When I start up the computer, I get the flashing folder with the question mark. So I then put in the 10.6 install disk, hit restart, and hold down the C key and it doesn't load off of the CD, I get the flashing folder again.
What am I doing wrong?

Well, I threw in the towel and re-installed the original HD. It's already back up and running.
I'm guessing that maybe because I didn't set the jumper connections correctly it somehow interfered with booting off of the 10.6 install disk.
I may attempt this one more time since I can take it apart and put it back together again in about 10 minutes. But I'm going to research this HD and OS X and the jumper settings and see if I can find anything where somebody else had the same issue with booting off the install disk until they set the correct jumpers.
Thanks everybody for your suggestions. Have a great weekend...

Replaced hard drive, can't reinstall

So I have an Inspiron 1525. Replaced the hard drive on it, and now I can't get Arch to boot properly. Got everything reinstalled without an issue, booted fine for all that, all the firmware and drivers that don't automatically work (xf86-input-synaptics, xf86-video-intel, linux-firmware) but when I reboot, it boots to a black screen. Now the really odd thing, is that it's still set to boot runlevel 3, so it shouldn't even be trying to do anything X related. And NONE of the ctl-alt-F1 through F12 are able to access a terminal, it just stays a blank black screen. Ctl-Alt-Bkspc doesn't do anything, as Ctl-Alt-Del does nothing either. The ONLY way I can get in is to pass the S argument on the kernel line.
This laptop used to work fantastically with Arch.
Specs:
C2D T8100, 3 GB ram, 160 GB hdd. Intel X3100 graphics. Intel 3945 wireless.
I know it's not a hardware issue, Win7 and Debian Squeeze are both on this box and working wonderfully without a single hiccup.

Ok, quick history of install.
Boot, install, reboot to get into system.
pacman -Syu, update pacman. pacman -Syu again, update system. Saw kernel updated, rebooted to take effet.
pacman -S <all the various software I use>. rebooted. At this point, no config files have been touched.
Couldn't get in, issue as described. Tried passing 3, no change, tried passing 2, no change. Tried passing S, was able to get in.
Rebooted a few times after looking at various things, it would usually take between 3-4 tries passing S that I was able to get in, not EVERY time, but often enough that it wasn't a huge deal.
So it started as soon as X was installed (amongst a bunch of other software), but X shouldn't have been doing anything. I point out X because it ACTS like X when it fails to load.

Replaced hard drive can't install OSX

A friend gave me an iBook G3 500 MgHz. I want it to coordinate with my iMac G5 to be able to use same Tiger software. I put in 640 MB of Ram, then installed OSX 10.4. Everything OK but the modem was broke and there was not much room on HD. So I bought new 80Gig Toshiba HD and new modem, did the surgery using excellent iFixit instructions and went to reinstall OSX from my cds. The computer works if I start it with OSX installer cd, and the disk utility and System Profiler show the hard drive properly,
BUT WHEN I START THE INSTALLER THE HARD DRIVE DOESN'T SHOW UP AS THE DESTINATION DRIVE,NOTHING SHOWS UP AS A POSSIBLE DESTINATION DRIVE.
DID I MISS A MAJOR STEP TO PREPARE THE COMPUTER FOR A NEW HD? IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO WITH DISK UTILITY TO MAKE IT SHOW UP?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In a Mac, it's called Open Firmware, and you get there by holding down the Command (Apple) Key + Option + o + f.
If it's a G4 (and it sounds like it is because the G3's have tray-loading optical drives), you may want to try posting in the iBook G4 Forum.
You have posted in the iBook G3 (Dual USB) Forum.
Also, an iBook G4 will not have version OS X 10.1.x (that version of the operating system is too old for an iBook G4), so you may want to check that information.

Where can I download earlier Hyperion versions ?

Hi All,

Does someone know where I can download old Hyperion versions ?

Download mountain lion on replaced hard drive

I need to download mountain lion on a replaced hard drive. how can I do this?

If your Mac came with 10.7 or 10.8 installed, you'll have access to Internet recovery - reboot holding down cmd-R and follow the prompts.
If you started on 10.6, you must reinstall that OS first and then use the App Store to install 10.8.

I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor.Can we re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive for a old macbook?Just one example.

I work for a university and we have a legal apple vendor who we get to buy all our Apple products from.Can we (university) re-install macosx for a replacement hard drive once the hard drive gets replaced? How can we as the university IT department legally re-install macosx on a imac,macbook, macbookair etc. We would like to load customized macosx imaging software onto the mac machines(imac, macbook, etc ). The university has its own IT workshop and we would like our users to get their laptops back in the shortest turnaround time.

We're not "Apple Inc." here, just users like you.
So whatever we say is not an official statement, nor does it in any way, shape, or form represent the official or unofficial policies or opinions of Apple, Inc.
But I'll offer my quick opinion, having worked in information-systems and technology support in a wide variety of environments over many years.
Question #1. "NO!"
No tech support nor repair facility, even if "Apple-authorized", is automatically empowered to install or upgrade OS X on a replacement hard drive just because it is more convenient or time-efficient. When the repair is complete, the student should be expected to (re)install the operating system themself*!
Nurturing students (and occasionally dragging them, screaming and kicking!) as budding computer-, tablet-, smartphone-users to become digitally self-sufficient is a worthy goal that any institution of higher education must pursue.
Making students totally dependent upon "Mother Support" for every little thing about their personal digital devices is a grave disservice to both the students and the people who provide the support. Support-mothered students do become life-long digital dependents, instead of taking the required time to learn enough about the care and feeding of their digital "pets" to sustain them. Entreprenurial students may choose to become 'experts' and actually help each other with their devices, and even make money doing it. Some students may even be inspired/coerced to pursue a career in tech support!!!
*By all means, if the student requests additional help (re-installing the OS), then the University should charge the student a fair price for the service, provided that the user provides the OS on original or upgrade media, or in the case of the 'digital download' upgrades (for OS X 10.7 and 10.8) provides proof of purchase for the OS upgrade, or the original purchase receipt or other recognized documentation for the purchase of the computer showing the version of OS installed when purchased. Students need to learn about personal responsibility, economics ("What is MY time really worth"?), and proper record-keeping too!
Question #2. Regarding the customized imaging software, provide it on media or a link for students to download and install it. Make it their responsibility!

I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

Thanks for your response.
I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
so what to do now?
P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
Please help

How large of a hard drive can i put in my Macbook Pro (early 2011)

how large of a hard drive can i put in my Macbook Pro (early 2011) and where can i get one?

You can find answers to both at OWC as well as installation tutorials. I think you will find 1 to 1.5 TBs are the largest.

What hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel early 2010

what hard drive can I upgrade with on iMac intel 27 inches early 2010

You can install any 3'5" SATA hard drive on a Late 2009 iMac. Have a look at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
Note that Late 2009 and later iMacs have got the temperature sensor inside the hard drive. If you install a hard drive without a sensor, fans won't work correctly. Read > http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs

I have an iMac 21.5 inch purchased in 2011 with a failing 1TB Seagate hard drive. Can I get a replacement hard drive?

I have an iMac 21.5 inch purchased in 2011 with a failing 1TB Seagate hard drive. Can I get a replacement hard drive thru the Apple Replacement Program? I did purchase the Applecare Plan but it expired in Dec. 2013.

FWIW, if you purchased the iMac in 2011 and purchased Applecare, you are covered for a total of 3 years. You mentioned yours expired in December 2013 - that cannot be unless you bought yours in 2010. If you bought it in December 2011, you should still be covered until December 2014 - if so, contact Apple/make a Genius Bar appointment quickly so the replacement is covered by the warranty. The hard drive replacement program might have expired, but as long as you're covered by Applecare, a drive replacement is covered.
