Replacement Installation Discs

Does anyone know where or how to obtain replacement installation discs for macbook pro version 10.4.8 originally purchased march 2007 UK

Call AppleCare and request replacement discs. You'll need to provide your serial number (which you can find as described here). There is a nominal charge for shipping/handling (US$30, I think, not sure what they charge in £).
Hope this helps...

  • Missing installation discs

    Ok, so I have a Macbook from June '06 with Tiger and a Macbook from August of last year with Snow Leopard. Somewhere along the line I have lost the original installation discs for the Tiger laptop. I would like to wipe the hard drive on the old laptop so as to sell it, but don't have the original discs, and when I try using the Snow Leopard installation disc on the old computer I get an error message. Is there anyway I can 1.) Get Snow Leopard to install on the old computer or 2.) Get replacement installation discs? Please let me know if either of these, or another option, will work.

    You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
    However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.
     Cheers, Tom

    I have a macbook pro 17" 1,1 model (early 2006), but I do not have installation discs.
    If I order a replacement, what version is it?
    Can I install the latest version 10.8.4 in 1,1 model?
    If it is possible, what I have to do to get it done? And the price?
    Thanks

    MacBookPro1,1 can only run Mac OS X 10.6.8, as it has got a 32-bit processor.
    If you order replacement DVDs, Apple will send you DVDs with the original Mac OS X version that came with your Mac, in this case, Mac OS X 10.4.5.
    If you decide to get replacement DVDs, Apple will only charge you for the delivery

  • I think my Installation disc is corrupted, can I get a replacement?

    mACbook pro 15" bought Mid 2010, still under warranty.
    I need to wipe the Hard drive to reinstall content from a back up on another disk, but I cannot get the system to boot p from the installation disc.
    If I try the reinstall from the same disc I am told that the disc is dirty and needs cleaning, tried to carefully clean the disc with anti static cloth but still cannot boot or re-install.
    Will Apple give me a replacement disc?

    Thanks Michael,
    I contacted the local Mac store and they are asking approx US$180 for a replacement disc.
    The Company I work for bought a bunch of Macbooks (13", 15" & 17") plus around 25 Mini Macs in the USA last year and shipped them to the Philippines.
    They have found that the installation discs for the 13" and 17" models, question is will they work on my 15" Macbook?
    Cheers!

    We can't replace it - but then 'we' aren't Apple.

  • Lost installation disc for OS 10.4 (Tiger). Can I get a replacement?

    Should I try to replace this disc (how?)...or is it better to purchase Leopard and upgrade. I have old AppleWorks documents and do not know if they will run on Leopard.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I can confirm that Appleworks 6.2.9 works reliably with Leopard, but doesn't come with Leopard. Also the Leopard installer disc does not include any portion of iLife except iTunes and does not include any of the games that shipped with your Mac except Chess, and does not include the hardware test that shipped with your Mac. For those reasons, I'd definitely consider asking AppleCare for the original installer discs. Also none of those applications come with Tiger retail either except Chess.

  • LOST MY FCP INSTALLATION DISCS, HOW DO I GET REPLACEMENTS

    I have lost my FCP 5.1 installation discs. How do I get replacements?
    Thanks

    You could try your insurance company - assuming you have your other kit insured against loss/damage.
    OK, it's probably a long shot, unless you specifically have "FCP Discs" mentioned on your policy.
    Maybe there's a warning to us all with a livelihood depending on software just as much as hardware. Try and put the software on the policy.

  • Need replacement cs3 installation disc

    I see others are in the same predicament - we've lost the installation disc for our CS3 design premium program and are hoping to find a copy, no longer available through Adobe. Any help would be most appreciated.

    Bob Levine seems to be the helper of poor souls who have lost the CS3 disk. The company I work for has moved location - our precious CS3 discs were lost!!
    We bought the full retail version: Design Premium CS3 Windows
    Bob if you're reading this and you can help, this would be simply awesome!
    I'm about to hop onto your site and follow it up with you... fingers crossed!

  • Need help in using mac installation disc

    hi guys, my out of warranty macbook's hdd has died on me... so i went out to get a replacement 320GB sata drive, everything was working fine, and macbook detected the hdd, i am able to install my mac osx tiger using the recovery disc, but during the last portion of the installation of disc 2, it say there is a error installing this software it always happen at the same spot, when it's trying to install garageband.
    is there something wrong with my macbook, or is it because of the installation disc, i'm at a very very lost state without my macbook T_T

    Hello,
    Since GarageBand requires 4.3 GB of drive space, check available space on the disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.

  • How do I install apps off of the OS installation disc?

    My mother recently got her MacBook fixed at the Apple Store. Her HD crashed and they put a new one in it with a fresh copy of Tiger.
    But for some reason, PhotoBooth is missing from her Applications folder now (it was previously there as she loved taking pictures using the built in iSight... as all mothers do)
    I assume I should be able to install it from the OS installations discs that came with her MacBook. Is it a simple process to just install the one application or do I have to do a complete restore?

    How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
    In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
    • Click on the "Go" button .....
    • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
    20 files were scanned.
    20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
    0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
    0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11. Type in your password, click “OK”
    • Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes.....
    • Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update ..... Default selection
    Replace .... Replace option should only be used on full install packages

  • Will a Macbook pro early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15

    My collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro 15 inch keeps getting stuck on the apple load up screen everytime he hits the power button. He doesnt know what version it is and I forgot to write down the model number of it(Ill update May 16 at 10am PST). I tried safe mode, it worked but after the loading bar gets close to 1/2 it freezes up. He can not find his installation disc that came with the computer. I have mine but its for Model # A1278 I think its snow leopard. Will the installation disc and application disc run successfully on my collegue's 2007 or 2008 Macbook pro?
    I apologize if there's a similar thread out there, I couldnt find one. -

    Will a MacBook Pro Early 2011 installation disc work on a 2007 or 2008 MacBook Pro 15?
    No it will not.
    Machine specific gray/back disks are for one model of Mac only as they only contain hardware drivers for that model, not previous ones.
    The 10.6.3 white Snow Leopard retail disk will work and it's available from Apple online for a small charge.

    I tried safe mode, it worked but after the loading bar gets close to 1/2 it freezes up.
    This is indicative of a problem with the boot drive and the file structure retaining data on the drive.
    The progress bar progressing and stopping means the fsck drive repair is failing, likley the drive incurred head shock damage at that point.
    The boot drive itself is likely fine and the problem can be resolved but the disks are going to be required if it's running Snow Leopard.
    First get the disks, then attempt Disk Utility > Repair Disk and check the SMART status if the drive is still good.
    If there is no backup of data, get that off the machine using a external boot drive.
    To fix that problem of a bad sectors, unfortutly the entire drive will need to be Zero Erased (security option > zero all data) using Disk Uility while c or option/alt key booted from the 10.6 disks (using a wired or built in keyboard), it's the only way.
    This means all programs, files (remaining) and OS X will be removed in the process. You could replace the drive also.

  • How can I get another Installation Disc (DVD) for my CS5 Application

    I lost one of my DVD installation discs from my CS5 set.  I called Adobe and they said it was an older version and they don't have a link for me.  Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the CS5 Application disc???

    Welcome to the forum.
    Adobe used to offer replacement discs for a minor charge.
    However, that was usually for ONLY the current version - nothing available before. Once a version passed into history, the replacement discs were history too.
    With the advent of Ps CC, I am not even sure if the Ps CS 6 replacement dics would be available now.
    I would contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), and inquire.
    Good luck,

  • Create image of Pro Logic 9 installer disc

    Have been getting an 'Installation failed' message when trying to install Logic Pro 9 in my Mac Pro 1.1. As it may be the installer disc that's damaged I've tried to create a new image from the installer DVD using Mac's Disc Utility but so far have been denied permission. The 'Sharing & Permissions' section in the 'get info' window is greyed out even though it is unlocked and I've selected 'read only' in new image prompt. Anything else I can try? Thanks for any input!

    Thanks for the link... learned a few things I hadn't been aware of.
    I still don't know why I was having the permission problems but as it turned out, it was a faulty Installer disc. I thought I'd try using Carbon Copy Cloner to create an image but it flagged up a fault in one sector of the disc - including the file name so I'll need to get a replacement disc as you suggested.
    As an aside... I read quite a few posts on failed Logic installation attempts and what the problem might be but the CCC workaround quickly confirmed what the problem was in my case... a useful tool to elliminate where the problem was.
    Thanks for your suggestions

  • Is it possible to get a new snow leopard installation disc if original has failed

    We bought an MBP three years ago. We never took the installation discs out of the packaging. We just did and they have purple stains around the edge and don't work.
    Obviously the mac is out of warranty, but it seemed worth asking as I have never known a DVD to acquire "disc rot" before.

    Commercial disks, which Apple uses, are pressed and cannot degrade like that. If this was a brand new Mac, then either someone switched out the disks, or they were stained in some other manner. If you bought it used, then it's likely you were given copies. If they are original disks, they should be gray with white silk screened lettering. Anything else is a copy.
    If you want machine specific replacements, which would include the bundled iLife software and other titles that are not on the retail disks, contact Apple. They will ask for the Mac's serial number to make sure you get the correct disks.
