View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Can't Boot Installation Disc (retail)?
Oct 12, 2010I have the latest MacBook Pro. I lost the CD that came with it. I'm attempting to reinstall Snow Leopard using a retail disc purchased from Apple. I've tried booting it by holding "C" and by holding "OPTION" and selecting the disc. I've also tried reseting the PRAM. It goes the the Apple screen and I can hear the disk spinning. Then it just hangs there.
Could this have anything to do with the fact that the computer came with 10.6.3 and I'm attempting to install 10.6 from the retail disc?

Dec 1, 2008I am trying to reinstall Leopard on my MacBook Pro 15" 2ghz 667mhz but I don't have the discs for this model and I am using discs from a early 2008 MacBook pro 17" 2.6ghz 800mhz but it they don't work. I loaded the discs with the C button pressed and a pop up window says that they will not work on this hardware.

Feb 18, 2009Ok, here's the deal. I just bought a 2.4 15'' MacBook Pro Unibody. I tried to wipe the drive and do a clean install from the system software installation disc that came with the computer. Three tries, failed each time. "Faulty disc" is what it said.
Well, I had to get a project done, so I borrowed same system software installation disc from a friend who bought the exact same computer on the same day. The disc worked fine! Leopard up and runnin'!
But I still called Apple to get a replacement disc. They said they did not recommend using another computer's disc to install. Well I'm thinking "dude, it's the same exact computer! So it must be the same disc?"
Anyone have experience with this? Should I wipe and reinstall AGAIN (NOOO!) after I get my disc. After a few days, it's been working just fine as is.
OS X :: Using Mac Snow Leopard Installation Disc?
Mar 14, 2010So I had an aluminum 2008 unibody macbook. I replaced the hard drive with a 320gb and it has leopard on it. I damaged it and had to get a new mac. I now have a white unibody mac. To copy every thing would be a pain. I'd rather use snow leopard. What I want to know is if I can use the reinstallation disc 10.6 that came with the white macbook to upgrade my 320gb leopard hdd to snow leopard?

Jul 3, 2010I've got a blackbook which I've replaced the super drive with an hard drive (giving me two hard drives in total).
The primary hard drive is blank and I want to install Snow Leopard. My first thought was to use Remote Disc from my Windows 7 machine, but I'm not sure if this will work? I presume I need to connect to my windows 7 via ethernet cable, turn on the blackbook and hold control which gives me access to the remote disc?
Will this work or am I better copying OS X onto a bootable usb stick?
OS X :: Mac Won't Open Installation Disc On Boot?
Jul 18, 2010I had some problems regarding my Hard Disk in a previous topic, I managed to fix the errors and format the drive. The disc seems ok but there is no OS on it.
And when I boot (in verbose or single user mode) it keeps freezing on:
Code:
"Loading SystemLibraryCachescom.apple.kext.cachesStartupExtensions.mkext........................"
Now this makes sense to me since the drive is empty but when I enter my Installation disc press ALT or C while booting it just freezes and does nothing.
I see the CD next to my hard drive and nothing happens, anybody had this problem before? What should I do, it's just a 5 months old iMac from the latest generation :/.
Software :: Cannot Boot From DVD Installation Disc
Nov 25, 2008I got a problem booting from my DVD installation disc. I got a PowerBook G4 (1GB/133mhz) on which I currently run OS X 10.4. However, my mac has started to lag so I want to erase the hard disc and reinstall from scratch, starting with OS X 10.3. Now the problem is this: When I insert the installation disc, it first seems like it reads from the discs (saying: "preparing installation") but then this little device on the screen starts spinning. And this is as far as I ever get. The device doesn't stop spinning.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Using Defective Installation Disc?
Jul 28, 2010I tried to archive and install 10.4 Retail copy on my 17" iMac G5 which has 10.3.9. The installer checked the disc and said it had scratches or fingerprints so to restart. I did, cleaned the disc and tried again. I got the same message but chose to ignore it and proceed and the disc got 36% of the way and said it is damaged and to restart. But it's gone far enough that I have not got 10.3 any more and the ONLY way I can restart the computer is with this defective disc! Or a network but my other Mac, connected with ethernet that worked well, now doesn't see the iMAc any more. I also have an external CD drive , doesn't read DVDs.
Right now I am stuck in the Startup Disk with a choice of endlessly restarting or shutting down. I shut down and it restarted from the disc OK.I checked the system profiler and under applications it shows only Disk utility,Installer,Network Ut, Open Firmware Password, Reset Password,Startup Disk, System Profiler. Under USB, it didn't recognize my external CD drive. Under Disk Utility I tried to repair permissions but it says it has no valid packages.
The person I bought the computer from sent me the Tiger copy discs and included 2 copies of Disc 1. I checked the second but it needs minor repair that couldn't be done with Disk Utility on my other Mac. But if I can somehow eject the disc that is in the 17" iMac (don't know how) will I ever be able to restart?

Jul 22, 2009I have just installed a windows vista partition on my 17 inch macbook pro and when I insert the mac osx installation dvd in order to install the mac drivers the on the windows partition the d drive shows that something has been inserted but the cd has no name and whenever I try to click on it says nothing is on the cd. However when I insert the dvd in the mac osx partition it reads the dvd fine. Why is this? There is a scratch on the dvd but what difference would it make if the mac partition is reading it fine?
View 4 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Finder Broken And Can't Enter My Installation Disc?
Jul 11, 2010i am a Mac user for years and I have some experience with troubleshooting and fixing/reinstalling Mac systems unfortunately I feel rather hopeless at the moment since I wasted hours and hours on trying to fix my 4months old iMac (the 27" edition).
Ok so first of all, the problems appeared after some Apple updates, (it was a few months since my last update), I installed the updates and restarted my system and suddenly finder was broken, it just freezes all the time and I can't seem to open it and browse through my files and when I force quit it just crashes again.
The only thing I can is use spotlight to browse for something (note that applications like iTunes and Photoshop work perfectly).
Feeling desperate in this situation I tried to reinstall my Mac, so I inserted my Mac Install discs and pressed the ALT key while booting. The disc appeared but when I press enter my iMac just freezes and doesn't do anything. I tried a PRAM reset at this moment but that didn't do it either. I even tried different versions of Mac installs but with the same result. In the end I even tried to run my Discwarrior boot disc but it also crashes. So I can't seem to boot anything except my messed up Snow Leopard install.
Note that I also tried booting from an external hard drive but with the same result.
At last I tried booting in single user mode and I used the "fsck -y" commando but that gave me some Disc Errors.
Ok lets get things clear, I want to format my Macintosh HD and peform a clean install, what should I do ?

MacBook Air :: Finding Fast Mac OS X Remote Disc Installation?
Jan 25, 2009I've read many reviews saying that the remote disc installation takes 5-6 hours, so after loading the installation, I thought that I would leave it working through the night...
However the "time left" only showed 1,2 hours
In total it took me no more than 1 hour to get a fresh Mac OSX using Wlan...it's simply amazing in my opinion, I even don't know whether the external drive would have done it better.
So don't be scarde to reinstall it with remote disc guys, or waste money on the drive unless you really need it.
Windows On Mac :: OE M XP Installation On Boot Camp -- Non System Disc Error?
Sep 6, 2008I'm having problems with a Boot Camp partition and XP Professional SP2.
I setup a 20GB partition on my drive (I'm using a MacBook Pro, 3GB, 120GB hard drive). It's the only partition other than the one I use for OS X.
I didn't have full-install SP2 discs, only an upgrade. So I went to Fry's and bought a legal, new OEM disc and license for XP Professional SP2, full-install. I ran the installer and all went well...until I rebooted. At that point, Windows wouldn't load giving me a non-system disc error.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: Selective Re-installation Using Utilities Disc / Repair Or Mend Malfunctioning ICal?
Aug 1, 2008I've been having problems with iCal and would like to reinstall it using Utilities Disc 1 with the Superdrive. However, there only appears to be an option to reinstall ALL the bundled software, at which point I've aborted the reinstallation process. Sledgehammer to crack a nut! It's only iCal I'm having trouble with (e.g searches not clearing down, "today" button greys out.) If it's not possible to reinstall just iCal from disc, does anyone know a way to "repair or mend" a malfunctioning iCal?

IMac PPC :: Imac G3 Installation Of Tiger Cd Won't Boot?
May 14, 2012I have the CD version of tiger and am trying to install it to a recently purchased iMac G3. The Installer installs disc 1, resets, but doesn't boot up to install disc 2, it simply asks again to install disc 1. The Mac for some reason will not boot from the installed software and therefore I cannot complete installation. Can anyone figure out why the mac refuses to boot from the HD in order to install disc 2?
