Trying to Restore old S/W

Hi Everyone...
My motherboard crashed a while ago (thank goodness for AppleCare!). When the techs reinstalled my new hardware, they also reinstalled my 10.3.9 system. Many of the S/W "extras" such as iPhoto, GarageBand, iChat, etc., are no longer part of my computer.
Is there any way I can retrieve my "extras?" I would especially like to retrieve iPhoto.
Thanks in advance!
Al PB 15 1.25Ghz/512/80GB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Trying to restore old GarageBand projects, some will, some won't?

I am on OS X 10.6.8, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and before the last system update (to 10.6.8) I was running Time Machine on an outboard Samsung drive, and had an Iomega external drive to which I had moved my GarageBand folder (and its pointer) and all my projects. With the update to 10.6.8, my Iomega drive was suddenly no longer accessible. I read a note on the forum that said Firewire support was dropped with 10.6.8, so I reconnected the drive with USB, but still was unable to access. I had the bright idea to restore my GarageBand projects from Time Machine, from before I had moved them to the outboard drive. I can see the projects when I do a search for "garage" on my Time Machine backups, but have only been able to restore a handful of them. The icon for some of the project files is a dark grey horizontal rectangle (the ones that =did= restore) then there are others that have a light grey horizontal rectangle as their file icon, and others that have the little tan guitar as their icons. I'm figuring these may be sets of projects from the different versions of GarageBand that have lived under OS X in its various incarnations. Whenever I select any project files other than the handful of dark-grey-rectangle files, and click "restore" in Time Machine, after asking me to select a target folder (which does exist on my Mac) I get a pop-up message that has "Copy" in the header for the pop-up, and says:
"The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
Please help me understand (a) what that error message means, it sounds like the Time Machine program is trying to improperly create a backup on my main HD, but all I want to do is copy those files to my Mac, (b) how I can get my files out of Time Machine and back onto my main HD, and (c) if I can convert them to the current GarageBand format once I get them on my machine.
I also tried to restore from Time Machine the .mp3 files that were created from my GarageBand projects, but after selecting a group of those from a Time Machine search, I got the same message about "wrong case sensitivity for a backup"... If I try to play them from my iTunes, where I had put them after creating the .mp3's in GarageBand, it gives me a message that the underlying file isn't present, so it can't play the song, which is why I'm trying to get those GarageBand files over from Time Machine. If I had only not updated to 10.6.8, I think all would have been well.
Something doesn't look quite right. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. I'm a songwriter and my old songs are now trapped in Time Machine! I'm very nervous that I might accidentally delete them instead of rescuing them.

Unfortunately, no. The error message I'm getting, about the volume not having the right case sensitivity for a backup, seems to be an inappropriate message, at least to my thinking. I am only trying to restore some old files. Seems like it would not have any problem. And the first five I restored came back just fine, I chose "choose location" and just let them come into the Applications folder, then I moved them to a separate folder on the desktop just so I could see them all together. When I went back to gather some more files, I started getting that "case sensitivity for a backup" message, and now I get it every time, even if I try to restore the same files that I already restored, to another folder of course.
It's like Time Machine thinks I'm making another backup, when all I'm trying to do is restore a few GarageBand .band files.
I played around with it some more, trying to restore a single file to an empty folder on my desktop, trying to restore to a thumb drive (got a "volume is not formatted properly" error, even though the drive already had some Quickbooks files on it I copied from my current machine successfully), and nothing I try is working.
Do I dare restart my computer and see if that clears something up? Like I said before, I fear I will end up deleting my song files, or destroying access to my outboard Time Machine backup disk. The original song files were on an Iomega external disk that my Mac cannot access anymore, it may be crashed, I will have to take it to the Genius bar to have someone look at it. But it is frustrating to see those files in my Time Machine backups and not be able to get them back on my main disk!!!!! Thanks for the help you gave, but there was nothing in there that pertained to this particular problem. Any other suggestions? Should I "eject" my Time Machine external disk and then restart the computer and reattach the Time Machine disk? Will that protect those files?
Sorry to be so full of questions. I really just need help getting these files off the Time Machine. Sounds so simple on the tutorial, but it is just not happening here. Thanks again, please, any other suggestions please send them on.

Error 1015 when trying to restore old iPhone on Mac iTunes

Hello,
Recently my mom's iPhone was freezing up. She says she tried to restore it by following some sleazy directions on the internet using her PC. The phone keeps acting up, so we connect it to my MacBook Pro, which we've never connected it to before. We run an update and click restore.
We get a dialog box that says 'Error 1015' and now her phone permanently has a picture of a USB cord with an arrow pointing up towards the iTunes logo.
I have been at this for two hours. I have been on every forum, downloaded every program, hit every wall from expired download links to programs that only work for PC.
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.4
I don't even know what generation this iPhone is. It seems ancient. I would go so far as to say this is probably one of the first iPhones released.
If anyone could help me out whatsoever it would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like your mom ended up jailbreaking her phone. That's what an error 1015 means.
There is no help to be had here. Sorry.
Discussing jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.
You'll need to look elsewhere for assistance or buy a new phone.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried to restore my old profile, but I can't open Firefox, it says another copy is already open. How do I fix that?

I followed the steps to backup my profile and saved the file on my desktop. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. I tried to restore my profile by copying it to the "new profile" but it didn't work, my bookmarks etc did not come back. When I looked in the new profile my old one was there as a folder so I moved it out to the Profiles section. I now had 2 profiles. I deleted the new profile using the Profile manager, thinking the old one that was left would just take over. I then tried to open Firefox but it says
Close Firefox
A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.
Where is this other copy? How do I close it?
Thank you.

Did you check the File > Work Offline setting?
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do?

My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do to get all her stuff onto the new phone?

Here's what I'd do, go back to the Apple store, take the phone & computer. Ask the geniuses how to fix this since they replaced the phone. You never know, they may just update the computer for free...its happened before...can't gurantee it will happen for you, but worth a try.
Otherwise, you're looking at purchasing a retail copy of Leopard, however if her computer can handle Snow Leopard you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & install a full copy of SL.

Can you clarify your problem? Are you having trouble restoring your new iPhone from a previous phone's backup? Or are you having trouble logging into iMessage?

New mac 5 days old daughter accessed a movie website and now keep being redirected to this site. Have erased her as user and tried to restore factory settings. Now computer running Internet recovery and I am lost. Please help

New Mac only 5 days old. Daughter accessed a movie website and now popups keep appearing and unable to access any other Internet sites without being redirected.

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Hi ratcat14!
I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
