Where can I buy a "boot disc" for my 2008 IMac?

I just got rid of bootcamp from my IMac and when I was updating my IMac (which had not been updated since purchasing it in Aug 2008), the computer restarted and upon restarting a black screen appeared. the screen said to insert a "boot disk" and then press any key. As I do not have a boot disk I cannot insert it and carry on... Where can i purchase a boot disk for my mac or how can I solve this issue?

you need to order one from AppleCare.

  • Where can i buy Microsoft 7/8 for mac?

    Where can i buy micrsoft 7/8 for boot camp?

    There is no Microsoft 7/8 for Mac.
    There is Windows 7 for PC. You buy that copy and use Apple's Boot Camp to install it. Most any computer store will have Windows 7 in stock or you can purchase online through Amazon, etc.

  • Where can I buy a nano sim for the new iPhone 5

    Hi all,
    I have just ordered a new iPhone 5 from the apple website and it comes as an unlocked phone. Therefore I need to buy a new 'nano sim' to fit the new phone.
    Does anyone know where and how I go about doing this?
    I've seen that vodaphone have apparently got 500,000 of these new Nano sims in stock, but are they only for people who have bought the phone through them?
    Do you know any other networks or providers that are selling the nano sim, even if you haven't purchased the phone from them?
    Any advice or tips would be much appreiciated.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Which is why in the UK it is not really worth purchasing an iPhone directly from Apple - it's a no brainer.  You should always purchase through the phone companies themselves and you'll get a much better deal always.
    I have been with 02 on a contract since I had my first iPhone and have always upgraded for less than half the cost of the iPhone directly from Apple.
    I really don't understand why someone would want to spend at least £525 to £600 on a phone from Apple when you could get it for less than half the cost with the UK phone companies, unless of course money is no object!
    Where do you get your information from?

  • Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

    Where can I find a restore disc for a PowerBook G4?

    The detailed problem is that I had used the computer for a long time without turning off.  I wanted to give it to someone else so I needed to clean the data off. Before deleting anything I switched off then on and the HD seemed to have developed a fault as the start up routine began then when the Hd started the computer crashed and restarted at the begining with the startup routine and I have not been able to go further than this.  I changed the HD for an old one that I had replaced previously which had the same software system, Leopard.  This worked perfectly but on switching off then on behaved as the other had. 
    I figured that if I could start with the restore disc I could clean the HD or at least investigate it.  Hence the need for a restore disc.
    Would this work or is there something in the logic board that is upsetting the HD and what ever I do will not cure the problem.
    Any thoughts??

    Where can I buy a new battery for my macbook

    Depending on the build year model configuration
    (reference serial number lookup online) you may
    have a MacBook w/ built-in battery, or maybe not.
    If yours does not have a user-accessible battery
    you may want to look into iFixit.com guides to see
    what they suggest for your specific MacBook.
    And then consider if you are up to the DIY steps
    with ability to do the complete service yourself,
    or if not, then contact a qualified certified service
    center to inquire their estimate for part + labor.
    However if your computer does have an easily
    replaced battery with external access where
    you are essentially looking at the battery, that
    is just a matter of identifying the correct Mac
    to get a matching part from reputable reseller.
    You could probably get a replacement battery
    from Apple, if the computer isn't really old...
    Or you could look online at places such as
    OWC where they offer a few batteries. Just
    be sure to avoid the low-end no-name clones
    from auction sites or cheap copy imports.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Where can i buy a new charger for my ipod with click wheel,the old had burnt.tnk.i need it urgent.tnk

    By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

    Otherwise you will need to search other vendors to purchase it. AppleCare will sell you replacements for the original discs that came with the computer.

  • Where can I get a roller mouse for a "sunflower" iMac?

    Where can I get a roller mouse for a "sunflower" iMac?

    I believe that by the time the "Flower Power" and "Blue Dalmation" G3 models were released, the Apple Pro (optical) mouse was included, instead of the round (roller ball) mouse that shipped with earlier models.  The Pro mouse was seriously flawed by its flimsy cable and lack of a strain relief, to minimize stress on the cable from repetitious flexing where it exits the mouse.  Unless you're attempting to restore it to its original configuration, I would suggest buying a third-party USB mouse with a better cable design.

  • Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    Where can I get an EPSON printer for the original iMac?

    You should look for an Epson Stylus Color 740 or the higher-end 900 or 980, which are about 12 years old now.  All have USB connectivity, and while the 900/980 is a better/faster printer, it's harder to find the ink tanks for it at the usual office supply stores.  Ink tanks for the 740 series seem to be more readily available, without a special order.  There were Mac versions of these printers (the 740i and 900i), with blue/ice housings that were color-keyed to match the fruit-colored "blueberry" iMac and Blue & White G3 mini-tower.  There was no Epson printer that was color-keyed to the original Bondi Blue iMacs.

  • Where can I buy a new HardDrive for my PowerBook G4?

    I took my PowerBook into the apple store today and the guy did a little test and it came up that my HardDrive is failing to load or something, haha! But because PowerBook's are pretty old now they don't support it anymore. So the big question is: WHERE CAN I BUY A HARDDRIVE?

    Newegg.com still has a couple to choose from at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060000344 2&IsNodeId=1&name=IDE%20Ultra%20ATA100%20%2f%20ATA-6
    You can use any parallel ATA/IDE hard drive for a laptop (2.5" size). However, you cannot use a serial ATA or SATA hard drive.
