  • My MBP read DVD/CD but NOT Mac osX installation DVD (tiger or Leopard)

    Hi,
    I read a lot of discussion but I didn't find the same problem.
    So I have a MBP 15", 2.16Ghz intel core duo, and 2 Go RAM.
    I have the 10.5.8 version installed, and I want to erase the disk and do a re-install of 10.5 because I've got some bugs :
    - my MBP starts really slowly (about 15min),
    - it bugs when I suspend the activity (black screen, nothing works... I have to push the "ON" button a longtime to stop the mac, )
    - and other ponctual bugs.
    The problem is that my MBP don't read the installation DVD (leopard or even Tiger).
    It reads the DVD, I heard that the DVD turns, but after 3/4 try, the MBP ejects the DVD.
    But It reads Blank CD, DVD (many zone)... Only the installation DVD is not reading.
    I've already try :
    -to begin in safemode (with SHIFT button => it is not ok)
    - to push "C" key" at the restart (it's not ok, the MBP eject before blue screen.. it seems that the MBP is waiting to eject the install DVD to start)
    - to create an other account (not ok)
    - to restart the V/P RAM 5 times (not ok)
    So, Is there a solution ? If the Mac can read sometimes CD or movie DVD, that mean that the otpical drive isn't broken...
    I'm waiting your help
    (sorry if there's some english mistakes !)

    So, I've tried to start in target disc mod with a firewire.... Not lucky, I can read in the "information System" that my firewire is not recognized. It's weird because I can charge my ipod with firewire, but the target mode doesn't work !!!
    message in french :
    Bus FireWire :
    Attention : Impossible de répertorier les périphériques FireWire.
    (average Translate = impossible to index firewire's peripherals)
    Do you have some solutions... I still not re-install MAC OSX... and I haven't an external HD (not in shop too !!)

  • Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Thanks!

    Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Am I doing anything wrong?  Thanks

    Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
    But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
    Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
    And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

    why my ipod will not read a charger?

    not read a charger?
    Do you mean when you plug it in it doesn't charge? If so, check your charger and swap it out with another. If the issue persists iwth another charger then it's a problem with your device. take it into the local apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked.  Help, please.  Thanks

    I had all photos on a Windows desktop.  Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive.  When I go to import them into LR on the mac, they are all locked.  Help, please!

    "I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop.  It looks like it went from read only to not locked.  Is this possible?"
    Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
    I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

  • Flash Player 9 mac osx install problem

    For ages now I've been trying to install flash 9 on my mac (OSX latest version), and it doesnt work. I can download the installer, open it and run it. The installation works up until "4 items remaining" when the install bar starts showing grey and white stripes with a message above or below which says "searching macintosh hd". This goes on indefinitely, Ive tried leaving it for a while and eventually it just freezes. At the moment I have absolutely no internet video capability, not anything flash based anyway. help me please.

    I have the similar problem on my iMac Intel Duo Core running OS X 10.4.9. The Installer told me that I don't have the access privileges to install Flash when the progress bar shows 1 item remaining (flashplayer.xtp). I tried repairing disk permission with Onyx and starting up from the OS X Install DVD but all these didn't help. I am using the correct installer (the Universal Binary one).
    ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!!

  • How to install windows support software without mac OSX install cd?

    I want to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 10.6.8 via bootcamp. I have a windows 7 install cd and I havn't got past the stage of installing the windows support software. I lost my mac osx install cd a long time ago so I can't install the software that way, but if i try and download the support software from bootcamp, I keep getting a notification that the windows support software is unavailable. What should I do?

    Call Apple for replacement disks.  The Boot Camp drivers for OSX 10.6 and earlier were not available as a download.  Or upgrade to Lion, which you do download the Boot Camp 4 drivers.

  • Mac OSX install disc 1 won't work, it says "no bootable device" and a black screen

    My macbook came already with snow leopard, so I have the osx install disc and the applications install disc. So I'm meant to put in the osx (ie install disc 1) install disc which lets me install bootcamp, which I do, and click on "start the windows installer" and "start installation" in bootcamp assistant, however every time I restart the computer to try installing bootcamp it just says in white letters across a black screen "no bootable device" and "insert boot disc", which I have already done!!
    Am I missing something really dumb here, or is my disc faulty?

    From this guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for WindowsAfter installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software forWindows using your Mac OS X installation disc.
    The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard.
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1  Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2  Insert the Mac OS X disc.
    You have to be running your Windows OS (not Mac OSX) when you add the drivers from the Mac Install disk.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • I have a MacBook Pro running mac osx 10.8, Screen saver keeps reverting to national geographic photos.

    I have a MacBook Pro running mac osx 10.8, Screen saver keeps reverting to national geographic photos.

    Just found this solution on another website. I tried it and it works. No more polar bears and Savannahs!
    Apparently if you put it in the folder called "Desktop Pictures" it will work.
    So, copy whatever folder of pictures you would like to use as your screensaver and then go to:
    Macintosh HD>Library > Desktop Pictures
    Paste your folder into this folder called "Desktop Pictures".
    You may have to enter the administrator code (the password you use to open your mac usually).
    Then, go back to System Preferences, go to Desktop and Screensaver, click on the Screensaver tab on the top, go to the drop down menu beside "Source" (under the picture) and click on "Choose Folder". Navigate to the Macintosh HD>Library>Desktop Pictures and then click on the folder you just pasted in there. Click "Choose" and you're all set.
