What is the difference between retail version/discs included with computers

I bought a used iMac G5 that has Leopard installed on it, but no discs were included. I need to reinstall. There are plenty of versions on eBay that are original install discs that came with the computers and they are much less expensive than the retail versions. What is the difference between them? Would discs that came with an Intel Core iBook be totally incompatible with my G5?

I have the same problem. I have a 1 year old Macbook Pro 15" which came with no discs. I bought a set of OSX 10.5.2 install discs which clearly say for MacBook Pro on the discs. However they do not get any further than selecting English a he main language before they refuse to load further software stating incompatibility. I do not understand why, when both are Mac book Pros and recent ones too. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • What are the differences between TestStand Version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3?

    I have TestStand version 1.0.2 and have a customer that uses 1.0.3. I am updating test software for that customer and need to know if I can use TestStand 1.0.2. What are the differences between 1.0.2 and 1.0.3?

    vc -
    The Whatsnew.txt file for TestStand 1.0.3 contains the following text:
    Changes from TestStand 1.0.2 to 1.0.3
    TestStand 1.0.3 includes a translation to Japanese. It also
    includes other fixes mostly related to translation issues.
    1) Configure Database Options menu item was not localized.
    2) Dismissing a modal CVI dialog brought a random window to the front.
    3) Removed text from operator interface splash screens
    4) Resized operator interface panels
    5) In the TestStand - Sequence Display.vi of the LabVIEW operator interface, the
    following control descriptions didn't use resource strings:
    - Sequence Description:
    - Current Test:
    - Number of Tests:
    6) The Engine Installation Wizard wasn't localizable.
    7) Flexible MessageBox sometimes displayed only 1-2 lines. This was seen in the
    Edit Database Options Help dialog and the Adapter Configuration dialog in the
    CVI operator interface.
    8) The buttons in the Automation Adapter Configuration dialog were not localized.
    9) Font for the Add Directory to Search Directories checkbox on Find File dialog
    was incorrect for Japanese Windows.
    10) Dialog used to browse for directory to specify the report location was not translated.
    11) Database Viewer was not localized correctly.

  • What is the difference between jdk version 1.3.1-b24 and 1.3.1_02-b02?

    Hi,
    This is a weird question. But I really need to know the difference between jdk vesion 1.3.1-b24 and 1.3.1_02-b02.
    Anyone has a clue?
    Thanks

    This is a weird question. But I really need to know
    the difference between jdk vesion 1.3.1-b24 and
    1.3.1_02-b02.Bug fixes only.
    When reading the strings above, ignore the part saying "-b##" (that's the build number). So you're looking at 1.3.1 (the base release), and 1.3.1_02 (patch 02 on 1.3.1).

  • What is the difference between Retail and Academic versions of FCP2

    I was recently offered an Academic version of FCP(6)2 at a lower price than the retail version. I am tempted to get it but I have heard rumors and read posts that say the Academic version is limited to students and academic learning. Also, there will be no way to update the version when updates become available for FCP7. I would need to purchase the whole suite again. Is this true?
    I am not a student and would be using the version for part time income. I just thought a lower price than retail would be a good find. Please let me know.

    You are correct. You should be a student or teacher. And you can't upgrade it.

  • What is the difference between retail and student edition of Creative Cloud?

    They both list the same contents and price, so what's the point in buying one instead of the other?

    Hi there
    The Creative Cloud Photography Plan is the same price for individuals and students/teachers.
    It wasn't clear that you were asking about the Photography Plan initially, so apologies for any confusion caused.
    Thanks

  • What is the difference between JDeveloper 9i & JDeveloper 10g

    Hello All,
    What is the difference between JDeveloper 9i & JDeveloper 10g with respect to OAF?
    Regards.

    The major differences I identified so far with respect to OA Framework..
    1.Creating Business Component Package:
    In Jdeveloper10g, there is no option to create business component package in right click context of project.
    Rather, you can create a business component package by right click project --> 'New' --> web tier --> OA Components --> Package File
    Give the file name as 'server' and give the package structure.
    2. Path of deployment scripts:
    In Jdeveloper10g, the path of deployment scripts like import.bat, jpximport..etc is <>jdev\jdevbin\oaext\bin instead of <>\jdev\jdevbin\jdev\bin w.r.to Jdeveloper9i

  • What is the difference between logic studio academic version and the normal version ?

    what is the difference between logic studio academic version from the other versions ?

    No difference... the Academic version cannot be upgraded to the next major revision.
    If you had putchased the Logic 9 academic version you get all the updates 9.0, 9.03, 9.1, 9.3...etc
    When Logic 10 rolls around you would have to purchase the application at full price, your version isn't elgible for the upgrade price.
    Same software as the retail version though.

  • What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and the 11 i

    What is the differences between the older version of Oracle Financials and 11i?

    Vijay,Thanks for your answer,but I am still not clear about it,I have a instance to describe my question at detail.
        If there is a final product A, and the planning strategy for A is 20(MTO), the procurement type of A is F(external procurement) at the view mrp2 in the material master datas.
    step1: I creat a sales order.
    step2: run MRP for A.
    step3: transfer the purchase requistion into a purchase order,and the field of acc.***.cat. in the purchase order will be filled out M automatically, because the acc.***.cat. in the planning strategy 20(MTO) is set with E.
        Well, the purchase order is created, what is the relationship between the sales order and the purchase order? What will be happened about costing between the SO and the PO?
        If I delete the E, I make the PO become a standard PO, what is difference between standard PO and the PO including E?
    Best Regards

  • What is the difference between version 4.7EE and ECC 5.0

    DEAR EXPERTS
    what is the difference between version 4.7EE and ECC 5.0?WHAT ARE THE ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALTIES IN
    ECC 5.0?

    hi,
    Diff between 4.7 and ECC 5.0:
    1. 4.7 is on R/3 platform, while ECC 5.0 is on mySAP ERP 2004
    2. ECC 5.0 is having ESA(enterprise Serviceoriented Architecture)
    3.ECC 5.0 is web enabled with Netweaver technology.
    mySAP ERP is the "newer" ERP with numbering conventions like ECC (which stands for ERP Central Component) 5 or 6
    mySAP (aka mySAP.com) Business Suite contains Solutions like CRM, SCM etc. The important thing to note here is that this contains mySAP ERP, the one above
    mySAP All-in-One Solution is designed for smaller companies (the ad that says SAP is not just for large companies but for great companies where the above mentioned functionality is scaled down and is made to run on one database on a PC type of setup as opposed to the full blown architectures on which SAP traditionally set to run

  • What are the versions of BW and what is the difference between them

    what are the versions of BW and what is the difference between them

    Hi Reddy,
    SAP BIW 2.0a, 2.0b
                   3.0a, 3.b
                   3.1c
                   3.5  and Now BI 7 are some of the versions.
    Major difference between BW3.5 and BI 7.0 versions:
    1. In Info sets now you can include Infocubes as well.
    2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
    3. The BI accelerator (for now only for Infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accelerator is a separate box and would cost more.
    4. The monitoring has been improved with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal.
    5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
    6. Transformations are in and routines are passé! Yes, you can always revert to the old Tcodes.
    7. The *Data Warehousing Workbench *replaces the Administrator Workbench.
    8. Functional enhancements have been made for the Data Store object:
    New type of Data Store object, Enhanced settings for performance optimization of Data Store objects.
    9. The transformation replaces the transfer and update rules.
    10. New authorization objects have been added
    11.*Remodeling *of Info Providers supports you in Information Lifecycle Management.
    12 the DataSource: There is a new object concept for the DataSource .
    Options for direct access to data have been enhanced.
    From BI, remote activation of Data Sources is possible in SAP source systems.
    13. There are functional changes to the Persistent Staging Area (PSA).
    14. BI supports real-time data acquisition.
    15. SAP BW is now known formally as BI (part of NetWeaver 2004s). It implements the Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW). The new features/ Major differences include:
    a) Renamed ODS as Data Store.
    b) Inclusion of Write-optimized Data Store which does not have any change log and the requests need no activation
    c) Unification of Transfer and Update rules
    d) Introduction of "end routine" and "Expert Routine"
    e) Push of XML data into BI system (into PSA) without Service API or Delta Queue
    f) Introduction of BI accelerator that significantly improves the performance.
    g) Load through PSA has become a must. Info Packages are used to load data upto PSA only.
        You need to create DTP to update data from PSA to Data Target.

    Ram.

  • What is the difference between P35 Neo2-FR PCB versions?

    Hi there
    I have a PC built with a P35 Neo2-FR motherboard, PCB v1.1.
    I'm just about to make another PC up using this board and it has PCB v1.2.
    What is the difference between these? are there other versions and what is the change log between these?
    Cheers

    Hello Stonedofmoo,
    there is no crucial difference between PCB v1.1 and v1.2.  BIOS Versions are the same and there are no differences in functionality either.
    The only difference I can see from looking at pictures of both revisions, are two extra capacitors next to the Realtek SoundChip on Rev. 1.1 boards. 
    If you want more detailed technical information, you will have to contact MSI directly and hope that they can give you a better answer:
