Where can I get hold of a 10.5.6 iMac Startup disk from?

Recently, I decided to sell my old iMac G5, as I don't need it anymore, as i have a new mac... I realized that I needed to wipe the memory before I could sell it, so I inserted the installation CD into the Mac, and went through the stages, selecting to completely erase all the memory at that stage... Afterwards, I told it to re install the original OS X onto it again, and I thought I would have done with it... HOWEVER, after a while, the Mac told me that there was a fault with the disk and I should try again... When i did, the same thing happened again, and the time after that... So now, I have a mac that is completely wiped of any software, so I can't even open it as I used to, AND it won't install any software, so it can't - it seems - ever be opened again.
The only soloution it seems I can find is to track down another pair of installation CDs, So where could I find one/order one from??? Please bear in mind I live in the UK.
Thanks in advance,
Matthew.

Call AppleCare and they may still have them available for your machine. You will need the serial number and a credit card. You can find AppleCare's phone number by clicking the AppleCare Contact Info link.

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.

Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

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 hold of a replacement mains cable for a Mac Book?

It looks like we have somehow misplaced the mains cable for my Dad's MacBook. The big question where could I get hold of a replacement one ? I have looked on Apple's website but unless I am either blind or daft I can't see one. The only thing I can think of of is to drive to my nearest Apple store (some 60 miles away) which I don't want to if I can help it. Any ideas?
for what it is worth I live in Bradford West Yorkshire England
Thanks

Problem now solved. It was found in a completely stupid place.

Where can I get hold of an Audigy 44 pin extension cab

Hi There,?I'm asking for my my Brother. He had just got hold of the Audigy card, extension card and the`box` but he has no cable to connect the 44 pin sockets together.

Yes, make sure you get the enterprise edition, which comes with oracle spatial. If you choose a typical installation oracle spatial will be automatically installed.

Where can I get old version itunes

Where can I get an older version of itunes for imac. A newer version seems to have disabled the old version and the library (is now created by a newer version" so I can't access the music via itunes at all. I have gone into HD/Library/Receipts and removed anything that has itunes in the title of a pkg as suggested in a previous discussion. I just want to get back to the old version!
thanks in anticipation...Jan

Hi Lulus_dad,
I agree and it wassn't even me that updated! Perhaps apple should warn you that the update will seriously ruin your enjoyment if you click yes!
I was wondering if there was some way I could copy them to the ipad but the operating systems are so far apart that they don't seem to want to work together either. My ipad is not recognised as an ipad, but a camera. bluetooth will find the ipad but ipad won't find the imac!
There has just got to be some workaround.

Where can I get leopard for my imac G5?

I would like to use Time Capsule for my G5, but was told I have to upgrade to Leopard. Where can I get one that is tailored for the imac? Apple Store doesn't sell it.

Contrary to most opinions, you can get it from Apple Store's *phone sales*, 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753), for $129 USD. Alternatively, Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.

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.

Harddisk crashed, replace a new harddisk, where can i get OS ?

Hi,
My Macbook have harddisk fault, and I replace a new harddisk by myself.
But, I have a question that where can I get the OS to install to the new harddisk ?
Unfortunately, I don't have any backup of my old harddisk before it crash, Any one know that where can i download the OS for my new harddisk ?
Many Thanks.

You can't download the Mac OS. You'll need to buy the 10.6 Snow Leopard install disk. They're $29 USD in the United States.
Once you have it put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility. You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

Where can i get back up disks????

Hey whomever reads this
I just purchased a used emac off ebay with 10.3.9 installed. It did not come with system disks. I only have 384mb of RAM at the moment and will not be able to add more until after the holidays so i cannot upgrade to Tiger or even Leopard (when it comes out) until i can upgrade the RAM. So basically my question is where can i get the Panther Disks?? I would just like to have them just incase i ever need to reinstall the OS before i can get my RAM upgraded. Can you get them from Apple? The older OS's are available for download but i could only find up to 9.2. I don't want to buy panther, i would rather upgrade ram and get tiger. If i can't get panther, would i be better off creating an image as a back up to hold me over? If so how would i go about this and also it would have to be on CD if possible. I put the CD/RW from my PC (boo to windows) into my mac the other day but i don't have a DVD drive. Wow, thats a lot of questions i just asked, lol, if anyone can help in anyway that would be great
Thanx
Jeff

You can buy Panther discs on eBay and from other online sources. A good place is www.applerescue.com. Panther discs are not available for download and are not free. In fact the person who sold you the eMac should have provided the installer discs that came with the computer, although they may not have been Panther discs.
You can purchase Tiger directly from Apple. Tiger requires a minimum of 256 MBs of RAM, so you do have sufficient RAM to run Tiger.
I would get an external Firewire drive of size equal to the internal hard drive and then clone the internal drive to the external drive. Disk images are not very useful for system backups because you cannot boot from a disk image.
To clone your system:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Set Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only.
2. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
3. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
4. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
5. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
6. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
7. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
8. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
For added precaution you can boot into safe mode before doing the clone.

HT4865 i lost my phone where can i get the serial number for a police report

My phone was recently stolen. Where can I get the serial number for a police report?

It would be on the box it came in. It would also be on your support profile is you ever signed up for one (here: https://supportprofile.apple.com). Finally, if you ever synced it with iTunes on your computer you can find it by doing the following:
Launch iTunes on your computer.
Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes (PC).
Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial number.

What is Recovery HD and where can I get it?

What is Recovery HD and where can I get it? Disk utility says my hard drive is corrupt and needs to be repaired using Recovery HD. I downloaded Lion and do not have a CD from which to restart. Please help. My computer barely functions. This just began today, although it has been slower than usual for a few weeks. I removed lots of old Aperture Libraries with no benefit - even worse now.

The Recovery HD is in lieu of a machine-specific Mac OS X install disk that you received in the past with versions that predate Lion. With Lion and Mountain Lion you no longer buy a DVD of the Mac OS X nor do you get an install disi with a machine that has the system pre-installed. The Recovery HD is a means to resinstall/restore the operating system, only. None of the peripheral software or data you have have accumulated. For that you still need a backup of the hard drive.
Likewise you cannot write to the Recovery HD...doesn't even show up in Disk Utility and will not show up on the desktop if you have your hard drive(s) and partitions display on the desktop.
It will show up if you restart and hold the Opt key, and you can boot from it that way or the Command+R key way that is most often recommended.

Where can I get a book printed from a Pages document?

Ok, I know of dozens of service bureaus/labs happy to print photo books for people from a series of jpeg image files. Pages does not output jpeg files. I know of one that will do it from a PDF (Blurb, actually), but it must be a PDF/X-3 file, which Pages does not do, either. Where can I get a photo book printed from either a Pages document, or from a Pages-created PDF?
I don't really want to layout my book in InDesign -- Pages is so much easier and faster.

It isn't impossible to use Pages for book printing.
Do search on the matter here in the forum
Go to this site http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2006/12/how-does-pages-handle-pdf-x-files.html
and this one holds a lot of information
http://i-work-in-pages.blogspot.com/p/pdfs-professional-printing.html
Good luck with the book!
