Where/How do I get a new disk image to install from

I'm a linux guy so I am used to just downloading the latest... where can I get an image to install from?
I have a Mini PCC and want to completely refresh the thing...

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
What's a Mini PCC? Are you talking a PowerPC Mac Mini?
And the latest what? Mac OS X, except for incremental updates, which this forum is about is not available for download (you can download the update from 10.4 to 10.4.7 for instance, if that's what you want, but you can't download the full 10.4.7 from scratch). Macs can run the operating system they came with or newer retail operating system up to what specs allow. Macs can also run Linux, though Mac OS X is itself very much like Linux as it has both an XWindows environment and a simple ANSI terminal with a bourne shell into its FreeBSD based command line. So the question becomes what you are going to try to run on your computer?

How Do I Get At My Disk Image In Finder?

Hello
I've used Disk Utility to create a disk image. I want to copy that .dmg file to a USB stick drive to back it up. How do I do that?
I've tried dragging the icon from Disk Utility but that didn't work. I know the file is actually stored in /Volumes/ but the Finder hides that directory.
Thanks!

Hi IanB
Make the default directory for disk images to be the desktop.
you ask
s there any way to access the full Unix directory with Finder rather than resorting to Terminal like I did?
No, Finder is the GUI and is not intended to have the functionality of terminal. People get themselves into enough trouble as it is.
When you do need to something at a fundamental level, you can't get anything more powerful than Terminal.
I would use Disk Utility some more, to become familiar with making diskimages, and note their locations as I have described in my first post, and you should get a sense of control over what you are creating and where it is.
And thank you for the star, that is thoughtful.

HT201376 How do I get a new disk utility

Hi, so I'm not sure his this has happened but I have deleted my disk utility. Now I'm attempting to do an uninstall and a reinstall snow leopard, please help us !!!!

If you have OS X 10.7 you shouldn't get a copy of Disk Utility from 10.6 (and might not have it). If you don't have a copy of the 10.7 installer to use Pacifist as Niel suggested, you can hold down the Command + R keys while booting up to enter the Recovery partition if your Mac supports it, and choose the Reinstall OS X option.

Have you tried the correct forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie?view=discussions
That's where I go if I have an issue with apps that run on MackBook or iMac.
This one here is for iOS Apps, that run on iPad/iPhone. Good luck!

Hello, your best bet would be to clone your drive to an external drive, which will be bootable.

You're not likely to see any updates show up for 10.5.x
The very first MacBook 1,1s can actually run 10.6, which is updatable to 10.6.8, but will only run in 32 bit mode on yours.

General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor

TS1702 I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt. Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)? Thanks!

Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.

How can I get a boot-disk for a Compaq P2500 laptop Windows XP Home Edition?

I'm already in another forum with a eerily similar question, but that's for the HP Media Center Pavilion m8000e desktop system (Windows Vista Home Premium) I was just given; I've ordered a new hard drive for that. I assume the directions to create a boot disk with the *.iso file (using Imgburn) is going to work; I have the 25-digit code for that.
This question here now is for my wife's older Compaq P2500 2596US laptop running Windows XP Home Edition. This too needs a new hard drive, but I also am missing the boot disc for this; I do have the 25-digit product code.
How can I get a boot disk for this laptop? I tried the Ubuntu method outlined in a few posts; geez, what a headache ... never could get it managed. Does HP not make any boot disks available? Microsoft told me to check with HP.
I can furnish the product code; model #; serial# ... gee, maybe the oroginal receipt is even laying around somewhere ...
I need a boot disk to get the new hard drive up on board (if I end up ordering that).
Thanks for any help!
Michael

Have a canon dc310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's?Camcorder unable to connect to computer. Will a mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with a mac?

I have a Canon DC310 camcorder that uses mini dvd's and doesn't have the ability to connect to a computer. How can I get my new Imac to read these dvd's? Will the mini dvd adapter work or do I need to purchase an external dvd rom device? Which device works well with the Mac? Do I need anything else to get the dvd material onto my mac? Thanks!!

No DV port in camcorder. Just a yellow AV port/hole. I did find a Canopus ADVC110 device in a box that was bought several years ago to convert VHS tapes onto DVD's. Can I use this with a Mac? Could I connect a dvd player to the Canopus and transfer the disks onto my Mac? Or, connect the camcorder via AV port to the Canopus and that to the Mac and transfer that way? Thanks again!

Creating new Disk Image in disk utilities for TC. How long should it take?

I'm attempting to create a new disk image so that I can use my TC as storage in addition to back up. It's been "creating the image" since 6am today. It's 3:15pm now. ***? Is it supposed to take this long or is something wrong? I am attempting to create a large area of storage (500 GB). Could that be what is taking so long or should I hit cancel/give up...call Apple support?
Please advise. Thanks!

Hey Kristi,
How much is the actual size of the data you're trying to rebuild? This would be directly related to the duration of the process. Also, if you are doing it wirelessly, it could take forever and a day. Last night I used an archive copy of a file to install an application and it took well in excess of 90 minutes. I don't know the exact time except that this morning I woke up to find it completed. So wireless is not always painless.
Building is not the same as copy so that could be the reason for this. What would be interesting to know is whether you can check to see where it's writing wheter anything is being written.

OK, at least 3 is working.
I don't know how you have a Tape Recorder icon on your Home Screen. I cannot add one myself. But, I am running Holo Launcher in replacement of the default LG "Optimus" User Interface. It's much better in my opinion.
Try long pressing the icon and select Edit and maybe you can change some attribute of the icon.
Another thing you could do, is long-press an empty area of your desktop, to add an icon. Select Shortcut, then Select Contact, and scroll through your contact list and choose the contact that you added for *86.
You realize if you have voice mail you haven't heard, there is a tape recorder icon in the notification bar, which you touch and pull down, then press it to dial voicemail.
If that functionality doesn't work, you MIGHT want to consider doing a factory data reset on your device, but that is going to nuke all your personalizations and cause you work to set up again.
