Where can I download the install disk for powerbook G4

I recently replaced my hardrive because mine stopped working. Now I have found that somewhere along the line over the past 4-5 years I've lost the install disks for my powerbook. I was wondering how I could get my laptop back up and running by maybe downloading software from somewhere? I'm not super savy on computers, but I was told that I would be able to download the software from a site and then be able to start up and install the operating system from my imac. Is this correct, and if yes then how?
Much appreciated

Where can I download the EM from for WLS in Jdeveloper?

Hello,
I need to create a MDS repository based on a file for the WLS server included in JDeveloper for testing user curstomizations on fusion ADF applications. As far as I know from other posts in the forum, it seems the only way to create the repository is to separately download and install the EM on the integrated WLS, since it's not included in the Jdeveloper package.
Where can I download the EM from exactly?
Thanks.

Where can I download the full installer for flash player?

All we find in the site of Adobe is a litle program tha DOES NOT install flash player.
Instead, it install one litle program (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) to do the download. And it DOES NOT DO THE JOB.
All it does is say to the user tha it could not install.
So, the question is WHERE can we find THE REAL INSTALLER?

Note: 64 bit installer/uninstaller will install/uninstall both 32 bit and 64 bit.
So for a 64 bit systems, all you needed are the 64 bit installer/uninstallers.

Where can I download the full disk image to re-install OS 10.5.8?

Hi there!
I brought mi MAC Book in 2008, and now mi OS is working bad. I need to format and re-install te OS. I have the backups in Time Machine in a external HD, but mi DVD room is not working to read a disk from boot, and any DVD actually... (what a surprise!).
How can I download version 1.5.8 full to boot from an external HD? or simple OSX 1.5 and then I can upgrade.
I have all the linceses to verify I 'm the costumer.
Thanks!

If you're going to boot the Mac with the working optical drive in FireWire Target Disk mode, it doesn't matter when it was made, as you're not actually booting it from the DVD.
If you're going to boot the Mac you want to install the OS onto in FireWire Target Disk mode, the disk must be a retail one(unless both Macs are the same model) and it must be newer than both Macs.

Where can I download an install file for Acrobat Pro version 9 for Mac.

I had Acrobat Pro version 9 running fine under Snow Leopard but since upgrading to first Mavericks and then Yosemite it has issues. I was running it under Snow leopard Server and parallels but after some problem it needs reinstalling and I can't find a suitable install file.
I searched the Adobe web site and came up with the Windows version but my Mac version Serial number is no good for that. Any ideas where I might find the file?

You can find the download on http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html

Where can I download the base OS for OS X Lion

Just wondering if someone could point me to right download link as I dont seem to find the base OS on app store

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
