Trying To Re-Install OS X on MBP C2D 2.4-17"

I'm using a MBP 2.16-15" Core 2 Duo with 3Gb Ram, OS X 10.4.10
I am trying to re-install OS X on my friends MBP C2D 2.4-17"  OS X 10.4.10 using MY Install DVD's as he forgot  his! (My DVD OS V 10.4.8, AHT V 3A116, Disc V 1.0)
His MBP keeps coming up with the dreaded grey crash screen and black box telling me in English and other lang's to hold down the power key and re-start, after i try to boot from my dvd.
Do i need to use His dvd's? are mine not compatible? or do i need to re-format his drive and re-install?
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

You cannot use your installer discs for his computer. Aside from the fact they are not the same, it's illegal.

  • Does anyone here know how to install vista 64bit on MBP C2D?

    Just ordered a 17" today. Wanna know if I can install vista 64bit on it?
    thanks,
    m.j

    It runs fine and pretty fast. Drivers are a problems, can't seem to find any. I am about to delete it though cause its useless. I just partitioned with boot camp and then popped in the Vista 64 bit CD and it installed it self. took about 30 to 40 minutes. it does look nice though but the warning pop ups are very annoying and will at a certain point drive you crazy.
    good luck

  • I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 2011 MBP upgraded to Mavericks.

    hello,
    And thank you in advance.
    I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
    I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP.  I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
    Any way to proceed?
    Thanks  Tim

    download the win 8 iso from here;

    then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

    I have a problem with Imovie. Just brought an macbook 15 retina , iLife install and Imovie was working. I than did a data migration from my old macbook pro and now it crashes on start up. I tried to re-install from app store but no option to re-install, just installed and it greyed out.

    Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
    Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
    Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
    Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
    P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

  • I have Win7Pro64, tried to Un-Install Firefox control panel, no luck, tried running helper.exe from Uninstall folder and it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What gives?? Just want to update to 3.6.4 and that didn't work either so I'm trying to remove

    Running Win7Pro64. Tried to update to 3.6.4 and it failed. It said to download the whole program so I did. Tried to install and says that the "License File" is missing. SO I go to un-install 3.6.3 myslef with Control Panel. All that did was remove Firefox as a listed program in control panel, all of it is still there in Explorer and it runs fine. So I go to use Helper.Exe under the Uninstall folder of Mozilla Firefox and when I click that, it says "Not a Valid Win-32 Application" What's up with that?? All I want to do is remove 3.6.3 so that I can clean install 3.6.4. I tried installing 3.6.4 two different ways with failures both times. I tried to remove 3.6.3 using two different ways, and that also failed both times.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == I tried updating to 3.6.4. It failed both with the update and the full download, so tried to un-install 3.6.3 in control panel, then helper.exe with no luck.

    You don't want to update to 3.6.4, trust me. Stay with 3.6.3. If you need to download it again you can find it here:

  • Jabber for Windows - periodically tries to re-install and fails

    Jabber for windows - periodically tries to re-install and fails. After install Jabber works for awhile but then when trying to open another program(Outlook, IE Explorer) it tries to re-install.  If I go to the directory where the install files are and do repair it works.  This seems like a conflict with another application.
    I see this in the Windows application event log:
    Detection of product '{4EB9D7DD-65B5-44ED-B877-CE3EF9B4530F}', feature 'Cisco_Jabber_Files', component '{7CB949BE-2270-4992-9C4C-8FDDB90F6FE2}' failed. The resource 'C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber\JabberMeeting\DesktopShare\atgpcdec.dll' does not exist.

    Hi,
    Do you have WebEx Productivity plugin installed on the  machine? I can reproduce this problem after exiting Jabber, creating a  One-click meeting from Outlook and restarting Jabber. Please provide  further information to help me open a defect.
    - What was the version of Jabber on this machine prior to 9.1.0?
    - What is the version of the WebEx productivity tool plugin (if it is installed)?
    - Is there a particular sequence that you can follow to reproduce it everytime?
    Thanks,

    I'm trying to re-install itunes on my laptop & I am getting a message that has stopped the re-install & it says: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."  The diaglogue box gives me the options to abort, retry, or ignore; when I tried retry and ignore the re-install process stays stalled & the dialogue box comes back & I don't want to abort & start this all over to probably end up with the same issue; what does this mean & what do I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I am trying to re-install itunes. I get error message "Verify that you have access to that directory"

    I am trying to re-install itunes.
    I removed all Apples software, and restarted.
    still get error message: "Verify that you have access to that directory"

    now what?

    Thanks so much.  This definitely worked.  I'm sorry I did  not think of using IE.  I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

  • MAC Mouse and Keyboard Do Not Work, when I am trying to re-install the OS using "Command R" option

    I am trying to re-install MAC OS 10.8.2, but when I hold "command R" I am asked for the firmware password, but the keyboard and mouse do not work.
    If I only select "option" during the boot up process it will ask me for the firmware password, keyboard and mouse work, but I can only select the HD option.
    Can someone advise what is the problem here, and your resolution.
    I have tried different commands "option + command + R' with no luck.

    I tried what was provided on the link, but it is not working.
    I hold it down, before the gray screen and the chime, but it only prompts but the firmware password.
    I tried based on the specific order in the support document and at a random press and hold.
    No go any other thoughts?

  • I am trying to re-install ITunes on Windows XP.  When I do this, all I get is the "save" or "cancel" message, not "run".  What am I doing wrong?

    Because of  getting the message that I had to uninstall Apple Mobile Support Device and ITunes, in order to get my ITunes to be usable, I did that.  While trying to re-install ITunes, all I get on the message is the choice to "save" or "cancel".  It will not give me the "run" choice.  What am I doing wrong?  This should be fairly simple to reinstall, I thought.
    I am running Windows XP on a desktop computer using Firefox.

    Thanks so much.  This definitely worked.  I'm sorry I did  not think of using IE.  I use Foxfire exclusively so seldom even think of IE as an alternative.

  • Since updating yesterday iTunes will not open/sync/recongnize my iPhone. No error messages, ive tryed un/re-installing it but the same thing occurs.. Anyone! Please can you Help? Thank-you

    Hey!
      Glad to hear that you and your family made it through relatively unscathed!  I think we all need to take better care of our wonderful planet, because I think we are upsetting Mother Nature! 
      I have the Windows Installer Clean-Up screen up and tried to upload a screen cap for you, but IE immediately shuts down every time I try.  So I'll have to transcribe the screen for you:
      I see the following:
    (All Users)
    (All Users) [1.2.0.10]
      Those are the top two lines.  The following lines after that are programs he has installed on the machine like Acrobat, Adobe, Autodesk Inventor, and such and they all have a name and program number in brackets.
      And I now again have the obligatory Apple programs installed and listed again:
    (All Users) Apple Application Support [1.5.1]
    (All Users) Apple Mobile Device Support [3.4.0.25]
    (All Users) Apple Software Update [2.1.2.120]
    (All Users) Bonjour [2.0.5.0]
      Please note that iTunes is NOT LISTED.
      Everything else 'appears' to be normal, I'd say.
    Take care, and I'll see you on the flipside!  According to my clock, it's 4:11am Thursday morning there!
    See ya!
