OS X :: Could Not Restore Applications From Install Disk

Aug 5, 2009

Through Erase and Install and some other processes I lost a couple of applications, one of them garageband. I have a Mac OS X Leopard, but I just recently upgraded from my original Panther. So I put in the first Panther disk and chose the "Install Applications and Classic Support." It installed fine, but then when it came time to actually restore the applications I got a message that said "Could not set up necessary connection with helper tool. Make sure the application bundle is intact and try again," and I had to quit the installation. I tried again an the same thing happened.

What does this mean? what's an application bundle and how do I make sure it's intact? A lot of stuff got moved around lately and perhaps the applications folder isn't where it should be, could this be a problem?

OS X :: How To Restore With Homemade Leopard Install Disk

Dec 1, 2009

Backup is a breeze, no problem there.

Restore is where I got a little confused. I don't have the original Leopard Install disk which I'm pretty sure I need to restore.

BUT I what i need to know is if i could potentially just download a Leopard Install disk in the form of a .dmg file and burn it to a DVD and use that to restore?

I have a late 2008 uMB and my friend has a late 2008 uMBP. Is it possible to use my restore disk to install the bootcamp drivers on his computer after he installs windows? Are the drivers all the same, or are they hardware specific like they are with the OSX install? Any help is appreciated,

Intel Mac :: Damaged Install Disk For Snow Leopard, Restore From Time-machine?

Jun 19, 2012

I got SMART warning about my hard disk, I got it replaced by a shop, but said I would do OS restore myself. (cant afford cost )Thought it would be simple - but it is anything but.  It appears my install DVD is damaged, so was not able to boot with Grey OS install disk - holding the C key.I managed to get iMac to boot up using the old disk  - using firewire dock. However I was not able to restore old disk and OS to new disk, Due to IO read error.(this is why I had the SMART warning). So I am unable to get the OS on the new HD using the old disk or the DVD as these are both damaged.  The computer is running, so I thought I would try buying and downloading LION - then using the migration tool .  The download is still running after 2 days.I went to apple store, and was told that they cannot replace DVD , so I should bring in the iMac = and pay for the restore.  Dont wish to do this. As I have the computer and OS running, is there anything I can do to get a time machine restore from another backup disk (USB).

Applications :: Disk Utility Won't Restore?

Jan 4, 2011

I have a sparse disk image that is 10+gb, however the files on it amount to no more than 4.4gb.

When I try to restore to another sparse image that is 4.5gb or even 4.8gb, it says to me that there is not enough free space.

The files are only 4.4gb! How the hell do I set Disk Utility straight? Or is there another app that could accomplish the same thing?

Why god WHY has Disk Utility been broken since Leopard and let to remain broken??!!

Applications :: Can I Restore Software From Install Discs?

Feb 22, 2009

I would like to install worldbook 2004, which came with my eMac on my Daughters mac mini.

The eMac died a death a few years ago, but I still have all the discs.

Obviously I cannot restore the software,(its Panther),but I guess I should be allowed to use it as I bought it bundled with the eMac.

I still have the world Book disc too, but it wont install from there, It says it needs to be installed from the eMac Software Install DVD's

Can anyone tell me how I can extract it ? Or a reason my I should not be allowed ?

Applications :: Can I Use A Windows Install Disk That Came With My Vaio For Parallels?

Jun 6, 2009

I'm very new to macs and I've been able to purchase most of the applications I need to use in mac formats (quickbooks, office etc.) but there are some things that still need windows like all of the software for my Garmin units as well as some marine navigation software. My question is rather then having to purchase more software, and give more money to MS, can I use a copy of windows that came with one of my old dell or vaio laptops to run windows on parallels so I can run those few programs i need?

OS X :: Archive & Install Or Erase & Install + TM Restore?

Dec 22, 2008

Long story short: I've been having some issues with Leopard (and it looks like it was probably my fault for simply choosing the "Upgrade" option when I moved up from Tiger), and so now I'm looking into a clean install Leopard, which according to all other indications should fix my problem. Now, my initial reaction was to go with the "Archive and Install" option, but since I've been reading more about what people have to say, I'm starting to wonder if I should just choose "Erase and Install", and then restore from Time Machine instead? ...or is there really even a significant difference in the end?

I would like to keep everything as intact as possible, which makes me think Time Machine would be better, but then at the same time I've read stories about people having difficulties with restoring from Time Machine, and losing certain applications/preferences, etc... but sometimes they say it works just fine. So I don't know. But I'd like to get some second opinions before moving forward too quickly and then possibly regretting my decision later.

Apr 2, 2012

My Macbook crashed so I tried everything to restart it.  what finally worked is opening it from the install disk.  I performed a "repair disk", and after saying "invalid node structure" and "invalid record count", it says it cannot repair the disk.  I don't know what step to take next.  How do I see if time machine has backed my files up?  Do I need to erase the HD and reinstall?

I searched for a while trying to find the answer but did not find it. I just installed Vista Business via Bootcamp. I am not able to access the internet or anything. If I read the help stuff right I need to use the OSX install disk to install the drivers. The problem is, I don't have the install disk. Is there any other way to get the drivers? Or am I just missing something easier?

Apr 28, 2010

I got tiger install discs for my emac but I cant get it to run the install. I tried putting the disc in and clicking the restart button on the screen that says "Welcome to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger", but when I click it it just restarts my computer and does nothing.

Then I tried holding down apple, option, f , and o keys and then typed in cd boot and also tried cdrom boot nether of them worked so i restarted and tried dvd boot/dvdrom boot nothing worked on all the occasion i got a grey screen with a circle with a line through it. What do I need to do to get these install discs to work?

OS X :: How To Install Apps From Install Disk Without Starting From Scratch?

Aug 23, 2009

Searched the archives but no luck so far. My old PB G4 is running 10.4.11. When I installed the OS, I chose not to install iPhoto and iMovie because I didn't think I'd need them on this machine. I'd now like to add them, but am not sure how to do it without wiping the hard drive and starting completely from the beginning. There's got to be an easier way...right?

OS X :: New Mpb Restore Disk Work With Old Mb?

Nov 26, 2009

So, I've searched everywhere for the answer to this and couldn't find anything, plus this is my first Mac, so if this is a stupid question... well, let's not freak out on the newbie.

With that said:

So I finally took the plunge and bought a new 13.3" MacBook Pro (obviously running snow leopard). My girlfriend has the last generation white MacBook (running leopard) . I was curious if I could take my Restore Disk, that came with my MBP, and have her use it on her old Macbook to get her running Snow Leopard???

Again, this could be a stupid question, but she was really hoping to get Snow Leopard running on her Mac so I figured I would at least ask before I tried it.Knowing my luck, I'd try it out and it would screw up her computer somehow.

OS X :: How To Restore Purple Section On Disk

Mar 30, 2009

Tried searching for this but unfortunately could not find anything. How do I get rid of this purple shaded area of my disk and restore my disk to full size? It's supposed to be 320 GBs. I attempted to delete a Bootcamp partition but it didn't seem to delete correctly. I understand that I will not have 320 GBs free, but shouldn't I have more than 297 GBs on a brand new UMBP?

OS X :: Can Disk Utility Restore The New IMac?

Aug 16, 2010

I am now using a mid 2009 imac (i5 27") and will be getting the updated mid 2010 imac (15 27").

My question is; can I use a disk image of the 2009 imac and put it on the 2010 model to minimise the switching effort? I know some programmes will have to be reinstalled and I will need to unregister some things like Quark and iTunes.

Is it true that you have to make the disk image while the system has started up with the OS X DVD?

CCC warns that the image it makes will not be bootable. Can Disk utility restore the new iMac from it?

OS X :: Clean Install Or Restore From TM?

Sep 4, 2009

If I do a clean install and restore from TM, will I have to enter all my apps' serial numbers?

This is the only thing holding me back from doing a clean install on my 3 year old iMac. Does it even matter? I didn't do a clean install from Tiger to Leopard and it worked perfectly.

I just thought that starting from scratch would make the computer zoom like it used to.
