Where can I get a disc to reinstall?

I have two older macs, an iMac g5 and an old PowerBook g4 titanium. Both still work quite well (though the PowerBook does need to be plugged in at this point) and I would like to clear them off and reinstall them fresh so I can give to my younger cousins. I never had discs for them, where can I get the discs to be able to do this? I believe I need leopard and tiger. Thanks for your help!

See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...

Leopard, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

Call Apple and give them your serial number and they will send you the disks for a nominal charge.

Where can I get install discs?

I bought my friends intel iMac, its 183Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 512ram. But he cant find the restore discs and i would really like to restore the system. Where can i get them, cant find any on eBay. Cheers

I hate to be the one to say this, but without getting the discs you don't have the legal license to run the operating system! Get him to have another look. Unless he has sold them already, I am amazed that he wasn't more careful with them.
Alternatively, Leopard is coming! Buy that!

Hi, Josh. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You can try giving Apple a call to see if they have the original system CDs available. If they have them, they will send them to you for a fee.
There is no download for Mac OS X 10.4. You need to buy a full retail version.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

Yes for both iPhone and iPad 2.
You can get Leopard from Amazon.

Make sure your PBook meets Leopard minimum requirements.

Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

Sounds like you have a damaged library7 To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos. If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I had to reinstall a failed harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps. Where can I get Apple Works?

Allan:
It did not work on my SL Mac Mini and I am sure you will have the same results.
I need to find a quick and easy download PPC application for someone on this forum who is having problems in Snow Leopard and I want to rule out that it is PPC that is the problem. I had suggested he download Appleworks for this purpose; ooooops!
Can you think of a quick and dirty PPC app to download?
Yes, he has Rosetta installed...
I am almost positive that the problem is that his game was released in 2003 when OS X was 10.2.x and it just will NOT function in Snow Leopard without some patch or upgrade.
I am getting my hands on a copy of this game tomorrow, so I will go down that path for him, too!

My new third gen iPad does not have game center or AirPlay. Where can I get and reinstall ios5. Thanks in advance

Check to see if Airplay is present as it's a little hidden away. Press the home button twice then swipe along the bottom from left to right. You should get the volume and screen settings and there should be a Airplay icon.
