Tiger problem need to reinstall?

Ok..call me what you want, but I need some help!
I installed "avast" for mac, ran it. it came up with a lot of error codes, which I deleted and now I have no imovie, iphoto, garage band, big bang games and who knows what else. including a mac version of "check up" which i paid for. How can I reinstall these things? I tried putting the install disk in and they just pop back out. Please help a foolish artist regain his mac.
Any support will be appreciated. Thank You

"need to reinstall?"
Not just yet.
"I have no imovie, iphoto, garage band, big bang games and who knows what else. including a mac version of "check up" which i paid for."
Do a Spotlight search for the above mentioned items.
"I tried putting the install disk in and they just pop back out."
Have you tried your System DVD? Or is the install disc also your System disc?
Make sure the DVD are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.

App Store download problem, need to reinstall and can't figure out how?

App Store was interrupted during download and is not usable. I need to reinstall but can't figure out how to since all other items updated after Snow Leopard upgrade. Can anyone walk me through what to do?

Neither Adobe Reader nor Flash Player can convert files. May be possible with Flash Professional; ask in that forum.

I don't use it much, but Quicken 6 still runs fine for me in Snow Leopard?
Have a look at > snow leopard and rosetta: Apple Support Communities and see if anything there helps.
Optionally you might want to consider installing Tiger on a properly formatted External Hard Drive partition > Apple Tips: Using Disk Utility 1. Format, Erase, or Reformat a Drive, then boot into it for running those PPC App's and keep your iMac on 10.6.

I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

Do I Need To Reinstall Tiger 10.4.11?

I downloaded the latest Tiger update - 10.4.11 - the day it came out and everything was fine.
Since then I have let somebody not familiar with .Mac fiddle around with my Mac Pro.
Now when I go to the System Preferences and click on .Mac either the window won't open, or if it does nothing happens after I press the Sync button.
Do I need to reinstall Tiger 10.4.11?
If I do, how can I achieve this online, given that I already have a version installed on my computer?
Thanks,
Jack

Cannot open PS, window says "Preferences have been deleted". I have NOT deleted anything. How do I fix the problem? Will I need to reinstall the program?

Hi,
This should only occur if this is a NEW computer or your first sync and you have information from another computer.
Has this iPhone been synced with another computer before?
Transferring Purchases; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you follow that link your Apps WILL be on your computer and any music you have brought......
Now, do not worry, even if you do accidentally delete your apps, you can download them again for free with your itunes store account, just keep in mind you will lose any saved data!
Follow this and hit continue, the only information that could get lost is any content (music, videos etc) synced from ANOTHER computer that WAS NOT brought from your account.
Hope this helps and makes sense....

Need to reinstall FC Studio?

I had to re install Tiger because of some read/write issues discovered during a tech tools scan. I didi "archive and install" and most things are ok. FCP and Compressor and soundtrack pro and motion will not open. FCE, DVDSP4, live type and soundtrack are ok.
do I need to reinstall FC studio apps, or is there something I'm missing that's faster?
thankx
BBP/BR

Probably better to just bite the bullet and reinstall. I had exactly this problem. I had done a reinstall of the OS to allow itunes to manage my ipod correctly and had to reinstall a few of the fcstudio components.

Do I need to reinstall Lion because my iPhone stopped being recognized by...

Do I REALLY need to reinstall Lion because my iPhone stopped being recognized by Image Capture, Aperture and iPhoto but still shows up in iTunes?
I was on the phone with Apple Support with 5 different Advisors for more than 3 hrs today and we were not able to resolve the problem (yet). Although the problem is frustrating, it's always kind of a pleasure chatting with the Advisors. (I said kinda)
Approx 2 weeks ago, iPhoto, Aperture and Image Capture all stopped recognizing my iPhone. Oddly, iTunes has no problem recognizing the iPhone. Here are just a few of the things we tried but didn't get the apps to see the iPhone again:
- Removed and deleted all photos on camera roll using a windows machine
- Removed all other photos synced between my iMac and iPhone
- Made sure an image existed on the camera roll
- Recorded some video on iPhone and then tried to get iMovie to recognize device
- Restored (gulp) the device followed by a restore from back-up
- Restored again (double gulp) but this time to factory settings and kept the device as a "new iPhone"
- Logged on as different users
and on and on.
Also, after noting that my machine refused to send a systems report to my Sr Advisor (Jimmy) at Apple, he suggests we re-install Lion (ack). But when we went to access the Recovery Partition we realized it wasn't there.
No recovery partition?
Not sending system reports to Apple?
Several Apps not seeing iPhone while others are recognizing the device?
So now I wait for Lion to arrive on one of those nifty Apple thumb drives for me to try re-installing ;-(
The following screen grab shows my iPhone in iTunes but not recognized by Image Capture. URGH!

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Received a message today that iTunes needed to reinstalled but when attempting to do so I get a message 'Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services' ???

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

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.

I need to reinstall OS X, will Time Machine recognise my backup drive?

Due to permissions problems I need to reinstall my OS. Will my backup drive still be recognised by my MacBook Pro after a fresh install? Also will the permissions problems simply still be there if I restore using Time Machine?

I have a huge list of permission errors.
Most or all aren't really a problem. Why they keep being reported is a mystery, but they're innocuous.
Here's the scoop: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
I have booted from my install disk and repaired permissions.
Not necessary. Use Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder.
The reason I checked permissions in the first place was because a program was not opening (Limewire). The dock icon would bounce once then nothing.
You need to find out why that is. Reinstalling your entire OS is vast overkill, and probably won't help anyway. The simplest solution might be to re-download and reinstall it. If that doesn't help, your best bet might be to first search for Limewire in the +Using Leopard+ forum to see if anybody else has had the same problem. If not, post it there, with as much detail as you can.
Anti virus software shows no viruses
There are no Mac viruses. None. Most Mac users don't run any anti-virus software. Most of the anti-virus software, especially the stuff you pay for, is worse than a virus!
Some folks do run it, to keep from passing Windoze viruses they might get on to their PC friends. The free ClamXav is most often recommended here by those who know about such things, and they say it's the least obnoxious. Do a search for virus in the +Using Leopard+ forum, and read some of the many threads.

Need to reinstall Photoshop CS2 but it can't find a previously installed version so won't reinstall

Photoshop CS2 told me there was a "major problem" and that I would need to reinstall the software to continue using it.
So I used the installer CD, but it told me it could not install because there was already a copy installed, which would need to be removed.
So I removed the old version and tried to reinstall but now it tells me it needs a previously installed version in order to reinstall.
Adobe "customer service"chat is 100% useless on this, referred me to the 800 #, been on hold for over 45 miinutes now, and no relevant topics found on "help" forums.
For a multibillion dollar monopoly, you'd think they could hire a couple of customer service reps but I guess it's all DIY "support" here, so can anyone help?

So, you are NOT trying to reinstall an upgrade, but a purchased version (not in an upgrade path from one version to the next)?
If that is correct, there should be no request for a "previously installed version." That only appears when one is installing an upgrade.
Are you installing from physical media (a DVD), or from a download?
Sorry, I do not have an answer for you.
Good luck,
Hunt
