Which installation disks go with which computer?

I work at an elementary school where we have MacBooks, MacBook Pros, Mac minis, and different generations of iMacs. The person before me was not clear about labeling which installation disks go with which computers. Most of them say "For Mac Computers" and then have the software version on there as well. Is there a reference anywhere where I can look up the part number from the disks to see which model of computers they go with?

Can you imagine this elementary school with MacBook Pros and MacBooks?
Sure, especially since the first post says, "we have MacBooks, MacBook Pros, Mac minis, and different generations of iMacs."
Regarding the which goes with which question, the O.P. may find it useful to know how the system discs that came with other users' Macs are marked. For mine:
iMac G5: "iMac G5" - Mac OS version 10.4 - AHT version 2.5.1 - Disc version 1 -p/n 2Z691-5317-A
MacBook: "MacBook" - Mac OS version 10.5.2 - AHT version 3A143 - Disc version 1.1 - p/n 2Z691-6209-A
iMac 2008: "For Mac Computers" - Mac OS version 10.5.4 - AHT version 3A152 - Disc version 1.1 - p/n 2Z691-6304-A
If other users post similar info for other Mac models the O.P. might be administering, some might see a side benefit for themselves: locating where in the heck they put their original system discs for safe storage!
A tip for the O.P.: It isn't a good idea to mark the OEM discs themselves with model info using a regular "Sharpie" or similar marker since the ink can over time seep through the gray surface paint layer into the optical layer beneath it, causing read errors. Either use a marker specifically made for this purpose or mark the sleeve with the info.

Which restore disk goes with which macbook pro

Where I work we have a bunch of MacBook Pro unibody notebooks. We have bought them over the years, so they are all different revisions. I have a stack of system restore disks that came from these computers. How do I figure out which disk goes to which computer? I need to reload one of these computers so a new user can start with a fresh system. I've tried several of the disks, but none of them work with this computer.

Contact AppleCare. Afterward put each into its own hefty bag and label them.

'''Is there a way to download FF to a USB from another computer and install it from that USB on my PC? '''
You basically answered your own question. If you have access to another computer just go download the appropriate language and OS version of Firefox 5.0 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html and put it on you usb drive and then go and install it onto you pc.

Which installation disk version is the right one?

Since Apple started making the iMac a generic identifier, I have had a lot of trouble keeping track of which disk to use for repairing or reinstalling the many macs at my company. The disks have no clear identification as to which iMac they are for. Even putting the GHz of the machine would help narrow things down, but all I have to go by is the cryptic AHT version 3A111 or 3A118, which means squat to me. I have probably a hundred sets of disks to look through, and so far 4 different AHT versions have all refused to install a system on my Intel Duo 2.4 GHz iMac.
Is there any guide to which disk came with which machine, so I can go through all these disks and label them so when I need them, I can easily find them?

Call AppleCare to inquire. Those serial numbers are not published anywhere on Google that I can find. Occasionally someone sells these discs, and you get info about which Mac they came with, and then you luck out.
I really miss the days when the Mac said something right on the front of the case like "PowerMac 7200/66," and the disk said something along the lines of "PowerMac 7200/66.
Those days though did get harry. You needed such specific markings. Back then you didn't have just 5 series of Macs going around. At one point the 7200 was out at the same time as the 5200, 6100, 7200, 7500, 8500, 9500, 280c, 150, 520c, 540c, LC580, and Color Classic II. There were no less than 68030, 680LC40, PowerPC 601, PowerPC 603, and PowerPC 604 processors out at the same time. It got real messy. At least now we are done to 3 processors and 5 models. Much simpler that way, if you ask me. Oh and the operating system on the disc in question can usually help identify which Mac it came with.

How to identified which instance is associated with which Listener

Hi all,
i created one DB instance. suppose named as "B". but there is already another DB instance present. Named as "A".
Then i created one listener for DB instace "B".
Now my Que. is that HOW i can identify which instance is associated with which Listener,.
2) if i create listener then a service also created. if i stopped that service and then can i fire query OR Login again, WHAT will be the expected result.
I tried by asking people for my answer. but not satisfied.
Please Help me For this.
Thanks in Advance

see the file listener.ora. path is usually, $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora
You will see which listener is associated with which file,
Details will be usually like this

LSNR1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = instance1)(PORT = 1666))
LSNR2 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =

A listener is used when a client wants to connect to the database server. If you are logging in directly on the server without using instance name, then you can login even if you stop the service.
check this,

What is your background and experience with computers, networks, operating systems, programming languages?
What are you currently doing?
What formal and or on the job training have you had?
As Aman said, build yourself a test system and play with it. You can do this at no cost by ...
1) download and install VMplayer (vmware.com). It is legally free. For an investment in your career of about US$185, you can buy VMworkstation, which has the same fundamental capability plus some nice management features.
2) download and install Oracle Enterprise Linux (oracle.com). It is legally free. If you want a support contract, you pay for that.
3) using (1) and (2) create a virtual linux server
4) download and install Oracle Enterprise edition database (oracle.com). It is legally free for personal eduction.
5) install (4) on (3).
Beyond the above questions I have some boilerplate replies that fit here . . .
if people want to be professionals in ANY field, the first knowledge they need to acquire is how to locate AND USE+ the fundamental reference materials for that profession. And the most important trait, the one for which they are really hired, is the ability to do independent research, and having a modicum of curiosity that would drive one to do that research. We don't mind helping newbies, and even the most experienced person on this board will run into something they are not familiar with, or occasionally just require a second set of eyes to look at something. But a professional+ needs, above all, a willingness and capability to check the docs. A professional isn't necessarily someone who has all the answers at their fingertips or has a full understanding about every arcane subject in their field. It certainly isn't someone who has an encyclopedia full of memorized answers but little understanding of how it all fits together. It's someone who knows where to find the answers when needed, how to recognize them when he sees them. It's less about knowing than it is about attitude. Everything you asked can be answered in the Oracle Concepts Manual at tahiti.oracle.com. You should bookmark that site.
=================================================
Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
Drill down to your product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Determining which services are associated with which programs

In the Services Preferences, Services submenu, how does one determine which services are associated with which programs?

Danged if I know! I just took a guess and enabled the ones I wanted, then tried what came up to see which program launched to do it. Some are easy: "Copy to Tex-Edit Plus" will obviously use the program Tex-Edit Plus. But I have no idea which program owns "New Document Containing Selection" and since I want TextEdit to handle that sort of thing I unchecked it, and simply checked "New TextEdit Window Containing Selection" because that's obviously TextEdit. I left "New Window with Selection" checked, and then tried it, and TextWrangler launched. OK, I do sometimes use it, so I left it checked. But it would be nice if it declared itself in the Service list so you could tell what program is going to do which thing. However, that is not Apple's fault--it is the fault of the application, someone just didn't bother to write a proper line for the system to display that would tell the user what application it is. That is probably because in the "old" Services menu items were arranged in folders by application, so there was no special need to have the service itself declare to whom it belonged. Perhaps this situation will change as applications are updated for Snow Leopard.
I happen to know that the Services are declared to the system by the application, and the place this comes from is the Info.plist of the application, which is inside the application bundle. You can open this and check the plist: the service will be listed in the NSServices section in the NSMenuItem default field. Not something most people would ever want to do, you have to open the bundle then open the plist with Property List Editor.
Meantime, I think trial and error is the only way to tell where the service is coming from. I would be delighted if someone knows otherwise.

Which Mail version works with which OS version?

My ISP, Demon in the UK, has set up a system for reporting any spam which gets through their filters. Unfortunately it requires me to use Mail V2.x or V3.x. I am on Mail 1.3.11 (v622/624) under OS X 10.3.9. I can't find anything that tells me whether I can upgrade to V2 or V3.
How can I find out which version of Mail works with which version of OS?

Each version of Mail is tied to the version of Mac OS X it came with, is updated together with the rest of the system when you install a system update, and won’t work elsewhere. If you want Mail 2.x, you need Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). If you want Mail 3.x, you need Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Sounds like 747 taking off after installation, no screen with which to work

Hello,
After I installed Leopard on a dual partitioned hard drive (the other partition has 10.4.9 and FCStudio 1)and Final Cut Studio 2, I then rebooted the computer. It never booted up, but it did sound like a 747 taking off. Only after a few minutes did I have to force a shutdown to end this noise and power. What is going on here and what am I missing? Does it have to do with installing Leopard on a partitioned drive or installing Final Cut Studio 2 on the Leopard side of the partitioned drive? Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jordan

Never, never never never never never partition any drive where you will be doing/installing, editing etc. any video production.
If you want use Tiger and Leopard, then either install one or the other on a separate, not partitioned drive.
Any do not ever partition any drive where you will be doing/installing, editing etc. any video production.
I guess I said that.
Jordan, video production should be installed and should run a cleanest system possible.
partitioning is not part of that system
in my view

How many installation disk came with my MBP?

I want to reformat my computer and I have only found 1 install disk. Is there suppose to be two?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
There are two DVDs that come with your MBP. They are both kept in the same white CD sleeve, so if you've found one the other should be in the same place.
The second DVD contains the iLife suite of applications.

Need early 2006 iMac installation disks, which ones?

I need to know which SPECIFIC installation disks came with or are usable on a 2006 iMac. I wiped the computer before knowing my MacBook OS X Tiger disks wouldn't work on the iMac. So I either need to purchase new disks as the computer I inherited did not come with the disks or can anyone help me figure out how to get the OS back on the computer?

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.
