Where's X11? And How Do I Get Stuff Off Of Install Disks With A Beige?

I just installed GIMP for graphics in case I can't ge thte disappearing Photoshop cursor in classic problem worked out.
I started up GIMP and it says I need X11. Now I thought it was on the XCodeTools disk, and I thought I had already installed them (do the Developers Tools have to be a certain place for the OS to see them?) - but all the documentations I find tells me it's on OSX install disks themselves.
Uh-oh.
It won't LET me open the install disks, because I have a beige. How do I get into the installer - I used XPF and it got to the OS install and the only options I found were to do an archive and install, so I stopped and backed out.
Don't think I want to go there, just to put in some tools packages. Should I have pushed on through to the next window in the installer or what?
My nightmare scenario is the installer porks the system folder and I have to do the whole strip-the-guts-out and reinstall it all again..
(gaah! somebody smack me, I'm SO neurotic about this..)
How do I get to the X11 installer? Where is it?

You can download X11 here. http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/x11formacosx.html

    Ok, so I think I have found the cause of the problem.
    I went to Tools -> Add Ons -> Plug -Ins
    Under plug ins I found the zonealarm spy blocker plug in stub
    Attached are images of enabled, disabled.
    How do I get rid of that space all together, what I mean is, instead of having to choose between a "black space" and a "lego piece space", I want no space.

    They will only be where you put them.  They do not magically appear in new places.
    Have you copied them from your old computer to your new one?

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

  • I cannot find rsync on my iMac (Mountain Lion).  Where is it, and how do I get it installed?  Thanks!

    I have been looking for a good file synchronization program, and everywhere I look, 'rsynch' keeps coming up.  However, rsynch doesn't seem to be installed anywhere on my iMac (just upgraded to Mountain Lion today, but I couldn't find it yesterday either!).
    Can someone tell me where to look and how to install rsynch?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks, Tom.  As you can see, I was spelling it incorrectly!  Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
    Actually, I am interested in getting better with some command line work, although I have to admit I'm tremendously rusty.  My last work with Unix was > 10 years ago.
    Appreciate the reply.
    By the way, I'll also consider Carbon Copy Cloner.  Looks like a great program for point-and-click folks like me.

  • All my bookmarks and personalized start page are GONE. Where are they and how do I get them back?

    I opened Firefox & was told it had automatically updated to 3.5 (yes that is what it said). ALL my bookmarks, my bookmarks toolbar and my other two toolbars are GONE, my personalized home page is GONE. How do I get them back? VERY frustrated with Firefox which has been crashing a LOT lately, and several other updates have taken away my personalized home page. Why can we not keep these even tho you update?? Loosing my bookmarks is NOT ok with me. My Xmarks and delicious are Missing... HELP!
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == Firefox auto updated to version 3.5. It was ok yesterday

    OK. It was Firefox 3.5.x that was on autoupdate (which I stopped now so I have to be asked before updating) on a Mac Book Pro (31/2
    yr. old but updated with more Memory & larger hard drive (not sure I have that right, but now is 3GB Memory and 250GB hard drive Intel Core 2Duo). Using several places from the link cor-el (above) gave me, I finally found a copy of my bookmarks and have them back.
    While trying to find my personalized homepage, I went to a google add-on for finance after adding several other items to a new inprogress homepage, and out of the blue, my old homepage shows up when I click on the google finance gadget! I could not believe it. And all my other stuff was on there. I immediatley saved it to my Bookmarks, to my idisk and remade it my homepage for igoogle.
    Now, how do you explain that? Anyway, I am now back and good to go, just scared to update to the FF 3.6x version for fear of similar problem.
    The only thing missing now is the 2nd toolbar that I don't remember what it was so guess I won't miss it. The other was the NPR one which I got back from NPR website.
    Thanks folks!

  • I have installed - uninstalled - and reinstalled version 4, but I do not have Firefox Tab in upper left-hand corner. Why? Where is it and how do I get it?

    Reference is frequently made to the orange Firefox Tab at the very top of the vers. 4 downloaded screen. I do not have this tab anywhere on my screen, even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Why and how do I get it?

    The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • When playing a slide show there are many nonvisible photos.  They appear as "image cannot be edited. The original is offline."  Where is it and how can I get it back into my photo library?

    How can I get all my images to show in my photo library?  When playing a slide show some of my photos have a message "Image Cannot Be Edited.  The original is offline." 

    What version of iPhoto?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • What is an 'SPL-2.dmg' file and how can I get it (the driver) installed?

    subject line is question

    *My question to Samsung:*
    "SCX-4200 driver for Mac OSX.5.5
    After downloading the driver from
    http://www.samsung.com/us/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=&type=&sub type=&modelnm=SCX-4200&language=&cate_type=all&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&cttID=2047002&prd_i a_cd=06010300&dispnm=SCX-4200,
    the following error message is displayed: 'The following disc images failed to mount - image: SPL2.dmg; reason: not recognised.'
    Please advise."
    *The reply from Samsung:*
    Thank you for contacting us regarding your SCX-4200 and the recent issue you have experienced.
    It is difficult to say why this error may have occurred, it may be that the file has been corrupted during transfer. You should try deleting this file again and re-downloading it or possibly even try downloading the file from an alternate location such as below -
    http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=uk&C ttFileID=2047002&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=SCX-4200&VPath=DR/200810/200 81028145509765/SPL2.dmg
    Should you wish to discuss this issue further, please feel free to call our IT Helpdesk on 0845 726 7864 quoting your reference number."
    *Having tried all that, I did phone them, only to be fobbed off, +'Try re-installing from the CD you got with your printer. If that doesn't work it must be their ([Apple's]) problem.'+*
    My MacBook is trying to mount it, according to right-click 'Get Info', using DiscImageMounter, which only returns the error message (above), 'The following disc images failed to mount - image: SPL2.dmg; reason: not recognised.' Disc Utility doesn't tell me much more. What should I do with it?
    My printer (Samsung SCX-4200) clicks and warms up when it's sent a command to print, but that's the end of it - it won't do anything else, which is why I went looking for the driver in the first place. Note the Samsung Download Centre site at _http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/download/supportDownDetail.do?group=printsolut ions&type=printsolutions&subtype=monomultifunctionproducts&modelnm=SCX-4200&disp_nm=SCX-4200&language=&cate_type=all&mType=DR&dType=D&vType=L&ct tID=2047002&prd_ia_cd=06010300 says this driver was updated/uploaded 28/10/2008, but I can't get the **** thing to install. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
    Probably also worth noting: the printer works fine with Windows on my MacBook's BootCamp partition.

  • How do you get files off a hard disk

    I had this old macbook from 2007. It recently died on me but I want to get the flies and pictures off it. I now have a imac which a back up reguraly but would still like my old files. I have dicided not to ask a professional as he told me that he would charge per file and I only want a few.

    Heres a detailed guide that shows you exactly how and how easy it us to remove the hard drive. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514

  • Invisible folders/where are they and how do i get them to come out and play

    I need to do a hack on fcp 4.5 to get it to work on a G5......and please dont ask why......lol......
    apparently this hack requires me to find the invisible folder on the installation disk of 4.5.......
    how do i call out the spirits and get the invisible to be visible?
    I've tried a blow dry and that has not worked......
    thanks
    rob

    yeah??
    thanks for your help as well.....
    it's just amazing how people read too much into posts on forums and add there own interpretations......my original post was frustration.....not anger or yelling....but others took it the wrong way and sent my post into left field....
    by reading this link this guy had the same problem as me and asked the same questions as to why apple would do this when he could use the latest version of photoshop with no problem.....adobe had no such restrictions on their software.....
    i just find it disappointing that apple has done this......because all it took was deleting 6 lines of code that should not have been there in the first place.....
    but all is well now.....fcp is screaming and i now need to work....

  • 6 months of iphoto pics now missing. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Yesterday I was downloading some photos from my camera. When I finished I looked at my events and every photo and event from the last months were gone. The most recent download was preceded by pictures from last August and everything else was gone!
    I have been reading this discussion and I have tried a rebuild of the library = no success.
    I downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and I am in the midst of creating a rebuilt library, but something tells me that it is just rebuilding the library with missing photos again.
    Mac OSX version 10.6.8 and iPhoto 9.2.1

    yes, I found an iPhoto Library folder on the second drive that has a date of August 22 2011, which seems to be right, everything since is gone.
    So when I downloaded on Saturday i downloaded new pics into this old folder.
    Where is the other, the including recent 6 months iPhoto Library folder?
    I did not trash anything.
