T400 - lost Win 7 64 upgrade disks

Hi everyone
Unfortunately I have lost my Lenovo Win 7 64 upgrade disks (the infamous one delivered by Mentor Media from Singapore). Does anyone have experience of reordering them?
I've sent an email to them (in answer to their original It's shipping mail) but don't hold high hopes.
Any tip would be gratefully received.

I do not think there is anyway you can get a replacement discs because these are upgrade discs that were send during 2007 window 7 launched. Each set has the window 7 serial number and these are non-replaceable. Neither Mentor or lenovo is liable for item lost.
However, if you are talking about recovery discs, then maybe lenovo itself may entertain a replacement set. Do note that mentor is just a CDROM maker who at that time was contracted to do the window 7 upgrading process.
In your situation and if the win7 is installed on a working lenovo, I would suggest you google and download a software like ABR which can scan and extract the serial number and sometimes the activated profile. You can then download the digital official window 7 x64 bit (google it) and burn discs, then write the serial number on it. Note that since the win 7 has been activated, you cannot resell or reinstall the serial on another machine.

How can you use Win 7 upgrade disk if Boot Camp 4 doesn't support XP or Vista?

I've just purchased a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade disk to upgrade my Win XP Pro. I haven't installed Lion or Boot Camp 4 yet but am concerned that if I need to reinstall Win 7 in the future the upgrade disk will require that Win XP Pro be installed first.
If my Win XP Pro isn't supported and can't be reinstalled in Lion/Boot Camp 4, does anyone know what my options would be?
Can't get to Microsoft tech support without having a post-install product ID and their forums don't seem to cover this specific question for Mac/Boot Camp users or VMWare/Parallels users. I'm hoping that once activated that might be enough to turn the upgrade disk to a full version for reinstalling, but I'm not betting on it.
Any help appreciated before I permanently remove my XP Boot Camp partition for a clean install of Win 7 Ultimate.
Thanks

I need to reinstall the system software on my older iMac. I have lost the system disks, though... so now what? It had 10.4.

I need to reinstall the system software on my older iMac. I have lost the system disks, though... so now what? It had 10.4. We moved, and I have looked everywhere. Am I doomed to find a way to buy it? Can taking it into the Apple Store fix it? Will it be expensive THERE? I've already saved all of the files I want off of it.... I just need it to work now.

You've lost me on why you need to reinstall Tiger, when you already have all the files you wanted (which means Tiger worked perfectly fine). If you want to upgrade to Leopard, that's a different issue: your Mac needs to meet the minimum system requirements for that, which you can easily determine.
If you just want to get a replacement set of Tiger install discs, you can try calling AppleCare and see if they're able to send you a replacement set, and if not, you'll have to buy a new set yourself. You can get them on eBay, Craigslist, and HardCore Mac (http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/), although they sell it for ridiculous prices.

Trying to load CS5 upgrade disk - does not recognize CS-2 install

I'm trying to load my copy of CS5, which is an upgrade disk from CS2. I have all the original disks, serial and activation numbers for CS2. But I find that the activation numbers are no longer valid. CS5 disk will not even start up on my WIN 8 machine

Nothing earlier than CS6 is supported under Windows 8.
That said you can try downloading the installers for CS5 here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html

Using 10.5 Upgrade Disk to start mac running 10.5.6

Hello
I wonder if any of you can help me?
I have just moved house and have lost the Installer disk which came with my 27" iMac.
I need to change the password on the Mac Admin (The iMac is running on 10.6.5) The only disk I can find is an old Mac OS X Leopard Upgrade DVD version 10.5. Can I boot off that to change the password?
Many Thanks

As Niel noted, no. However, you can call AppleCare and request a replacement disc. Normally entails a nominal S&H charge.

Replace the hard disk has, and also have lost the OS disk.

Replace the hard disk has, and also have lost the OS disk.
Reset on my computer to install the program instantly,
Is there any way?
Thank you.

If I follow you correctly, you either have or will be replacing the hard drive in your iMac. You don't have the original OS X disks nor an operating system disk. Do you have a bootable backup? Here are some steps/options:
1) If you have a bootable backup, install the hard drive, boot from the external hard drive, then use SuperDuper or CCC to copy the external hard drive to your new internal hard drive.
2) You have your old hard drive, and it's not dead. Put it into an external case and see above.
3) You don't have either a bootable backup or a working old hard drive. You can try calling Apple Support to see if they still have the original OS X disks for your system. If they do, they'll charge a nominal price for them.
4) You checked and Apple no longer has disks for your system. You can go to the used market to buy Leopard 10.5 disks. If you do, be sure and get retail black-faced disks, but don't get the black-faced disk which is an upgrade disk .... if you don't have 10.4 on your system, it won't work. Careful of gray-faced OS X disks as they are locked to the original system type they ship with. So a gray faced OS X 10.5 disk for a MacBook won't work on your iMac.
5) Another related option is to buy 10.6 Snow Leopard, if your system meets requirements. This is still sold by Apple, and in the US is available online for $29.99 from the Apple store. Snow Leopard requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
6) Or you could consider Lion, via the USB stick that is sold in Apple stores. Lion requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory (4GB recommended)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Hopefully I haven't totally misunderstood your question, and answered something you weren't asking!

Lost iPhoto '09 disk. Any way to recover the program?

I lost the iLife disk and cannot find a download for '09. This is causing me massive emotional distress. I would love help.
Thank you very much.

If you don't have the iLife 09 disk or the disks that came with your computer you'll have to purchase iLife 09 from either Amazon.com or eBay.
If you think you might upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion (if your Mac supports it) I would purchase a boxed version of iPhoto 11 before they run out. That will get you the latest versions of iWeb and iDVD which are no longer being supported by Apple.

I have purchased Aperture since version 1. I have lost the original disk

I have purchased all versions of Aperture since version 1. I have lost the original disk and since downloading an update that required the serial number, I cannot use the program.
What is the solution to this problem?

Green,
I had the same problem. I had misplaced the serial number for 1.5 and I needed it to reinstall the Aperture 3 upgrade. In addition, I no longer had the disc image for Aperture 3.
Originally, I downloaded the trial of Aperture 3 as an upgrade and then paid for it. This was before it went to the Mac App Store. I had previously bought the hard copy of Aperture 1.5 and then the hard copy upgrade to 2.0.
This is a testament to buying direct from Apple. With a little proof that I indeed bought the product from them, they provided me with a working serial number. I bought Aperture 1.5 from the Apple Store, Soho in New York, and when the transaction was complete I got an email of the receipt. That receipt number is what entitled me to receive this support from Apple. They sent me a link to the disk image for Aperture 3.1, from which I installed Aperture on a fresh hard disk, and then they sent me a working serial number for 1.5, which allowed me to complete the installation. Afterward, I opened Software Update and updated to Aperture 3.2.3. Done!

My iMac will not boot up from the Leopard upgrade disk nor will it eject it.

My iMac is very slow and sluggish. Followed online instructions to use the Disk Utility to run repair. After doing so it told to reboot my system from the install disk and then run the Disk Uitility to run repair from it. I put in my Leopard upgrade disk and tried to reboot. I get the chime and the Apple logo and hear the disk trying to be read, but after about 5 minutes my iMac shuts completely off. I have tried to eject the disk using all the methods found in the community and nothing works. I want to try my orignal Mac OS X install disk to see if that works. My computer is about a 2007 model. It worked great until just a couple days ago. Frankly I can't afford to take it in so I will have to figure this out on my own with your help. :-(

I cannot open terminal. When booting I get the gray screen with the Apple logo and the twirling comb goes for a while and shut the computer completely off.
I got into the single-mode user and learned the following: disk1s3: I/O error. SAM Multimedia: Read & Write failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02m ASCQ = 0x00.
Singleuser boot -- fsck not done
Root device is mounted read-only.
If you want to make modifcations to files: /sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
I typed in the drutil eject and got:
SAM Multimedia: Read & Write failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02m ASCQ = 0x00.
Library not loaded. Reason: not suiteable image found.
It did find:
/system/library/rivateframeworks/installserver.framwork/versions/a/installserver : unknown file type, firfst eight bytes: 0xCA 0xfe 0xba 0xbe 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x04 Trace/BPT trap.
I have tried holding the left mouse key, the eject key and nothing happens. To bad I can't pull the
thing out with tweezers.
So where do I go from here?

How can I install after a hard drive failure with only upgrade disk?

I've been using Photoshop since 1998 but my HDD recently suffered a complete failure and I've had to change the drive. Unfortunately, I don't have my original Photoshop disk, only a CS2 and CS5 upgrade disk (with both serial numbers). Is there any way round this problem? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

Welcome to the forum.
My upgrade path started with Ps version 2.5. That was the last full version, that I had. All the rest were upgrades from there, though to CS 2.
When I went to install CS 2, I was asked for the CS version. I had both the upgrade disc and the S/N (my S/N's went through a couple of iterations, over the decades). In my case, the CS version disc was inserted, found and the installation went smoothly.
Now, while I have CS 5 (and 5.5 and 6), I never installed CS 5, it was just part of the upgrade path, to get me to CS 6 at the end. With my CS 5 S/N, CS 6 installed fine.
That was what worked for me, and I hope will work for you too. Keep that CS 2 disc handy, as you might need to insert that into the multi-drive, at a point in the CS 5 installation.
The one worry that I would have, with an HDD failure, would be Activation, as you probably did not Deactivate Ps, before that failure. For that, should you be up against your allowed Activations, you will likely want to call Adobe Customer Support, and explain your problem. They should be able to reset the Activations, and help you.
Good luck,
Hunt

Disk Utitlity has "Lost Connection" with Disk Management tool"

[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
Running OSX10.3.8
I installed:
"iTunes" (6.0.2)
"iPod Updater 2005-11-17" ((null))
"iChat Update" (2.1)
Went to repair disk permissions
I get this error:
Disk Utitlity has "Lost Connection" with Disk Management tool" Please quit Disk Utility.
then it says quitting Disk Utility may render the disk useless. Stopping the scan just gives a "stopped by User" red text message in the DU screen.
Had to Quit. No other way out.
Now it will not repair "or" verify Disk permissions at all.
What to do?
Powermac G4 1.25ghz, OS9/OSX Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Getting the same results booting off of the install CD. I even ran fsck -y after a soft boot(command S). Note I also installed the iPod updater and iChat update.
I'm getting a crash log that has to do with DiskManagement
Path: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Resources/DiskManage mentTool
I tossed the pref file for Disk utility and tried to locate a pref for the Disk Management but nada...
Is there a prefs file that needs to be tossed?
Anyone do a recent Onyx Maintainence cleaning?
Is there a way to do an iTunes Uninstal and reinstall a previous version?

I can't get Macbook Pro DVD drive to read my Windows 7 upgrade disk.

I have a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8. I have been trying to upgrade the OS in my VMWare Virtual Machine from XP to Windows 7. However, when I insert the upgrade disk, it just spins for a few minutes and then tells me the disk is a blank disk. I tried it with the drive tied to the VM XP OS, but that did not work and got the same result. I then tried the disk in a PC I have and it seems to work fine there. Also, I have tried other disks in my Mac drive (e.g. DVD movies) and they seem to work as well. I am not quite sure where the problem is. Any ideas?

This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your question in any way. I suggest you post your question on the VMWare Fusion forums.
