X11 1.1.2 install, NO DVD DRIVE!!!

It seems nowhere anywhere on Apple.com is it possible to find an install of X11 1.1.2. or a download on these discussion boards.
In my case, my iMac G5's DVD drive died and I can't take it in to get it fixed at the moment, so I just need to find a downloadable install of X11 1.1.2 (or any Tiger compatible version) so I can update to X11 1.1.3. Can ANYONE help me with this or point me in the right direction?
It's hard to believe in today's day and age of internet prowess that the only way to install this is via the Install DVD...

There is no downloadable version. Does the CD portion
work? If so, you'll have to find someone else with a
DVD player that does work so you can extract the
X11.pkg from it, put it on a CD, and then copy it to
your machine for installation.
Hi Baltwo, thanks for the info. Unfortunately the drive doesn't read, it only spins. So it won't read DVD or CDs at all.
And nobody has just taken that X11.pkg and made it avaiable anywhere for download? That's what surprises me... I've found the older version for pre-Tiger OS X and the latest 1.1.3 update, but not the required inbetween 1.1 - 1.1.2 versions for Tiger.
Oh well. If anyone else does happen to find it, I would greatly appreciate it.
All of this because someone sent me a file I needed for a meeting tomorrow, but it only works with OpenOffice (.odp), which of course requires X11.

  • Installed new DVD drive, now iBook will not charge

    Hi guys,
    I'm a long-time Mac user, and this is the first time I've had any problems so I'm new to this board. I had a bit of a look around, both on this forum and the FAQs, and this appears to be a unique problem.
    Basically, for a while my iBook CD drive was spitting out CDs, as per a common problem which I was not able to resolve. Eventually the tray broke and it would not click back into place, and so I was left with an iBook with a CD tray constantly popped out.
    I ordered a new DVD drive/burner that claimed it would fit an iBook, and when it arrived I pulled apart my laptop and installed it. Everything appeared to be in order, until I tried to plug in the AC adaptor.
    The orange light goes on for about 10-15 seconds, then slowly fades away to nothing. If I unplug and plug it back in straight away, I get no light and no charge. If I wait 15 minutes, the orange light goes back on but once again fades after a short period of time.
    My first thought is that perhaps the DVD drive is incompatible/drawing too much power, but I can't figure out how this would affect the charger, and why the problem would persist whether the power is on or off.
    Has anyone encountered a problem like this? I don't hold much hope that this will be fixed without expensive surgery, but I'd like to try
    iBook G3, PowerPC G5, iPod   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi Ronda, thanks for the response. I've pulled it apart a couple of times and have put it back together via the instructions I downloaded on the internet both times, and have had the same problem. To be honest, I can't answer that! I'll have to pull it apart this afternoon again to check.

    According to that, you don't seem to have added in an UpperFilters entry for GEARAspiWDM.
    Did you not do that (as per the instructions in the document on what to do if the UpperFilters entry is missing)?
    Or did you revert the key after attempting a filter edit and still getting the error message?

  • Installed a DVD drive in a G4 - drivers needed?

    It doesn't seem to work. Full story below, branched from another thread. New problem, new thread, was my understanding of the idea.
    I bought and (physically) installed a Pioneer 115 DVD drive, and tried the black retail Tiger disc. Nothing. Which is an improvement (the old CD drive would spit it out after 20 seconds).
    Tried restarting holding 'c', then holding 'option' - again nothing. It just goes through to the user sign-in dialog then onto normal desktop.
    Am I being completely dense here, or isn't there meant to be some sort of recognition that I've put a disc in?
    Do I need to do some installation of the drivers?
    Could the problem be because I bought the machine from a department in my university, and there might still be some network settings on it preventing my progress? Do I have to do something in account settings?

    Hi-
    The drive should be recognized and functional as a reader.
    No drivers are necessary.
    For full burning support, Patchburn is needed.
    There is a Panther version and a Tiger version:

    Does the drive show up in the System Profiler/Hardware/ATA, and also in System Profiler/Hardware/Disc Burning?

  • ITunes 9.2 wont install fully, DVD driver not Windows compatible?

    I have tried to install the 9.2 version of iTunes several times but everytime it ends up with an incomplete installment. I keep getting an error message telling me the digital signature for the CD/DVD driver isn't designed for Windows and wont install. The rest installs fine but when I open iTunes I get told the software hasn't installed properly and wont work if I want to import or burn DVDs.
    I'm not sure if this is related to the installation problems but when I try and activate my iPhone (4g) the iTunes doesn't recognize the phone. It doesn't show up at all.
    Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    I'm not sure if this is related to the installation problems but when I try and activate my iPhone (4g) the iTunes doesn't recognize the phone. It doesn't show up at all.
    It could be related. A snarl-up in device filters in the registry can cause issues with both optical drives and USB connections (for example).
    My suspicion here is that you've got damaged GEAR drivers for iTunes, and they are interfering with your attempts to install iTunes.
    Perhaps try a manual uninstall of ther GEAR drivers (quit iTunes first):
    http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=DRIVERS:Windows_-_Updating%2C_removing%2C_64_bit_versions%2Cetc
    ... and then try reinstalling iTunes. Does the reinstall go through any better?

  • Unable to access 2nd HD after installing new DVD drive...stumped

    OK have a Mac Pro late 2009, superdrive was acting funny, errors burning DVD's,  so I installed a Pioneer DVD I got from Macsales. As soon as I did that, I started getting a grey bar on boot up. Come to find out, the Western DIgital 3tb drive I installed (WD30EXEZ) that I partiioned with Disk Utilities for a Working drive for bootcamp was unreadable, from Lion with Paragon NTFS.. I have two of them, the 1st I set up with a couple OS X partitions and as HFS working disk.Seems to be working fine, I think? My bootcamp (Winblows 7) is on the 640 WD SSD that came with the Mac. Disk Utilities comes up with an error when I verify the NTFS partition but not the drive itself but I a unable to repair it, Winblows 7 sees the drive but can't access it.So I am trying to figure out what went wrong and how to repair the file system. My Mac Pro was purchased Mar 2010 and was nto the primary box, I opted to use my Dell before I gave it to my son.
    On to the next problem
    I pulled the drive out and hooked it to my sons  (Dell) and running testdisk on it via Hirens Boot CD.
    Now when I boot the Mac I get the grey bar on the boot which tells me something else is wrong...
    any and all help is requested...
    thanks

    hard to fully understand
    Where is Windows 7?
    Do you have Paragon latest? never had trouble.
    3TB drives with GPT and used as data for Windows? The term "boot camp" means little or too many different things. Drivers, Windows on Mac, but not much else.
    I would never repair NTFS with Disk Utility unless Paragon  endorses such action.
    3TB Greens do seem to give a number of Mac Pro owners grief. Shouldn't but then who knows except WD and Apple may or may not be talking and sharing.
    I'd format the drive in Windows, or format the NTFS part. I do use GPT and NTFS for Windows data drives w/ no problem.
    WD makes a 640GB SSD? news to me. Can't be. Would check Saturday though. And Apple over-states size/capacity especially when it comes to SSDs. So Apple OEM'd SSD with WDC lable, right? or wrong?
    SSDs are an issue unto themselves lately with SATA3 models / firimware.
    Boot from Windows.
    Pull drives and leave just the one(s) for Windows; or, the one(s) used by OS X - would be a start.
    I would only use WD Lifeguard on the drive... whether on your Mac or the Dell.
    That is the best this late.

  • Install 2nd DVD Drive in Mac Pro 1,1 or 3,1

    Would anyone have info on installing a 2nd optical drive in either the 1st-Generation or 3rd Generation Mac Pro?   Seems ticky to open the optical compartment open.  Thanks.

    The instructions can be found here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA177/en_US/MacPro_OpticalDrive_DIY.pdf
    Edit: Note, you need to remove the bezel off of the drive drawer before installing. And make sure you keep the latch on the back of the computer in the up position, it locks the drive carrier in place when in the down position. It can take some wiggling and effort to get the drive carrier out.

  • Installing new dvd drive in Mac Pro 3,1

    I've had just about enough of this old optiarc dvd burner. I've tried to burn 3 verbatim SL dvd-R last night, and I got the message about couldn't calibrate laser power for this device. I have tried to burn at 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x with no success. I used to be able to burn discs sucessfully, but not anymore. I know this is an ATAPI drive aka P-ATA, and drives of this kind aren't exactly easy to find. I was told that there is a S-Ata port or two in my Mac pro, but that it's a real pain in the tush to get at and connect a cable to.. So, any help welcomed
    OS 10.6.8, 6 gigs ram, Nvidia 8800 GT video card, if that helps
    thanks
    John B

    couldn't calibrate laser power for this device.
    That message is code for, "you are using the wrong discs for this drive". There appear to be several series that use different speeds, and they are NOT compatible. I expect you are using discs that are too "modern" for your older burner, such as 8x discs in a 2.5x burner.
    That error message is unbelievably un-helpful and obscure.

  • Early 2008 Mac Pro won't boot after installing 2nd DVD drive

    All,
    I purchased a Pioneer DVR-117D from Mac Sales and after installing it in my new refurbished 2008 Mac Pro it won't boot. My MP will boot if I remove the drive. According to the Mac Sales website this drive should work fine in my MP. Any ideas as to why this is happening. I literally just got my MP today and installed the drive. Is it the drive or the Mac Pro. Thank you all.

    The drive was set to master, I switched it to CS before I left for work but haven't tried reinstalling it. I will try when I get back and let you know if it worked. Thank you again.

  • Trying a G4 Install from Tiger DVD...oops...no DVD drive!!

    I bought a cheap used g4 single processor (1.33) to use only for the NAT/VPN/DHCP/DNS/Firewall (all the Gateway stuff). I have a dual 2.3 G5 for the APF, OD and other big stuff. G4 came with Jag. I bought a copy of Tiger 10 user on ebay. Came. Looks good.
    Well I didn't notice that the G4 only has the CD drive and of course Tiger comes on a DVD so that install went real good. What are my options here? Install a DVD drive? (Recommend a supplier please). Will Apple get me a CD version on the same SN somehow? Burn several CD's in some fashion from the DVD that can then feed the G4? (Care to tell me how to do that?) Plug in a firewire DVD drive? (will it boot from there?). I hadn't expected this problem and I don't see anything posted on how to fix it. Many thanks in advance....

    Wes-
    I think you have a couple of options.
    First is to install an internal DVD drive in place of the CD drive.That is a fairly simple procedure for a guy like yourself. I do not know exactly which model is compatible, but a place like OWC or other reseller will have what you need. I have succesfully done this myself.
    Second is to use an extenal FW drive. The model really shouldn't matter, but maybe you could find out more in the G4 forums. I am pretty sure that even if it won't boot from the external drive initially, you can boot up the G4 and select that drive as the boot drive and then restart. I am a little shakey on that one though.
    Third is to use the server (almost forgot about that thing) to install the software over the network onto the G4. I know, another thing to figure out, but my guess is that it will be a fairly simple thing to do. You could just set up a mini-network and do it that way.
    Luck-

  • DVD-Drive detection

    Hi to all
    Perhaps somebody has an idea to the following problem.
    I'm using a 845E Max2 board and Microsoft Millennium Edition as operting system.
    After installing a DVD-Drive, it is correctly recognized on IDE1 in the Mainboard Bios. When Windows then starts it "finds" new hardware and tries to install the necessary drivers. After finishing "installing" i have a "Primary IDE controller (dual Fifo) " in the system shown. This entry has a yellow exclamation mark with the info that the information that the device "is not present and doesn't work proper..." Not necesseray to say that the device isn't recognized in the explorer...
    OK; so far so good. But how do i actualize the device driver?
    I did install the actual Intel inf drivers (5.0.2.1002)... but that didn't help... still the same problem...
    I don't know what's the problem is because this DVD drive is the sole installed device (as master)... all other components are SCSI components... So there shouldn't be any master/slave conflict or something like that at all...
    However... many thanks in advance...
    Regards
    Markus

    Insert your DVD drive driver disc and go to Device Manager>Hardware>ATAPI- DVD ROM drive>Properties>Driver>Re-install.
    Btw, a good detail of your system hardware info will be better.

  • How to get hardware Ids of a CD/DVD drive?

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the Hardware Ids of installed CD/DVD drives. Is there any API (in win SDK, for native c++ app) which I can use to get the hardware ids?
    Example:

    IDE\hp_DVD_A__DH16ABSH______________________YHDF____
    IDE\CdRomhp_DVD_A__DH16ABSH______________________

    Actually I am trying to differentiate between physical CD/DVD drive and virtual CD/DVD drive.

  • What CD/DVD drive is compatible with Satellite A10-S103

    I am using portable computer Toshiba Satellite A10-S103 and I am about to replace original CD/DVD-ROM drive with a new one which can also write CDs and DVDs.
    However, I have been given a notice, that after installing new DVD drive the "IDE #1 error" message may appear. According to my knowledge, this error can be avoided by replacing the old drive with a new one that requires the same Primary/Secondary Master/Slave/Cable select settings as the old one.
    Can you recommend me a DVD-RW drive that could replace the old DVD-ROM drive and would work without any further HW adjustments?
    The new DVD-RW drive should be similar to i.e.
    [http://www.sonynec-optiarc.de/en/exhibits/slim-line-drives/ad-7540a.html] .
    However, I was not able to decide whether this device will or will not work in my computer as I do not know settings of the original DVD drive.
    My original Toshiba DVD drive information as follow:
    1. 'Model No.' SD-C2612
    2. 'ROM Ver.' 1315
    3. 'Serial No.' 394N002659
    4. 'Ver. No.' 302.
    The computer is already out-of-warranty
    Thank you.

According to my knowledge, this error can be avoided by replacing the old drive with a new one that requires the same Primary/Secondary Master/Slave/Cable select settings as the old one.
    You are right. The IDE #1 error appears because the BIOS doesnt recognize the new internal CD/DVD drive due to the wrong master/slave/c-sel settings.
    Usually such settings are fix and cannot be changed like on the external ODDs using other jumper position.
    The firmware controls the internal notebooks ODD settings.
    Therefore the usage of the supported and compatible ODDs is very important.
    Sorry, but I didnt find any details about compatible CD/DVD drives.
    Did you take a look into the user manual of your notebook series???
    In my user manual I found some info about the compatible drives with my notebook.
    So maybe you are a lucky man and your user manual will provide some useful informations.
