For example, say I have a folder called Files1, and it has 10 further folders in there. And then I have another folder called Files1 too, which includes updates (new files in) just 3 of the folders.
Is it possible to just drag the new Files1 folder over the old one BUT it just copies over the 'duplicate' files and folders? And leave the others untouched? (bit like how it works when FTP'ing files to a server).
Default behaviour seems to completely overwrite the folder - which is not what I want.

We've had several windows computers that all came with XP reinstall discs... Would I be able to use one of those discs to install XP into virtual box, or do I need to buy a copy of Windows?

I got wiped out by a lightning strike to my cable, and had to re-install Leopard. The first three attempts failed. After about five minutes into the installation, I would get a pop up saying INSTALLATION FAILED, COULD NOT COPY. I took the disc out and noticed there were some small dirty, greasy looking spots that had somehow gotten onto it. It might have been dirty fingerprints, I dunno. So, if this happens to you, clean the install disc first, before looking for other troubles.

How can I download/install OS 9 Disk drivers for an already formatted hard drive?I was not able to exercise the "include OS 9 drivers" in the Disk Utility formatting process on a LaCie Drive because I needed to have also a 32GB partition for Windows-FAT, and when I chose the Windows-FAT format option, the "Include OS 9 driver option" disappeared from Disk Utility Program. The consequence of this is: my OSX main partition is not visible by my other Mac running OS-9, while my MS-32GB is normal. The main partition was formatted with HFS+ but with no "include OS 9 disk drivers" possibility.

My startup disk is almost full so I tried to repair disk in Disk Utility but only 'verify disk' was available, which led to the following error message: "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk." I have recently moved countries and cannot seem to find my installation disk anywhere (stupid, I know). Is there another option, such as using someone else's installation disk (since nothing is actually installed from the installation disk in this process, right?) or does it have to be my own installation disk? It is an old MacBook (2007), running OSX 10.6.3.

I have heard or read somewhere on this forum that you can use Disk Utility to Duplicate your internal hard drive to another drive, how can you do this.
I have the stock 320GB 5400 RPM drive and I want to put in my 320GB 7200RPM with 16MB Cache, but I would rather not load and reload all the software, so how can I move the data from Stock to the new drive.
I already partitioned using GUID and erased the new 320GB drive in an external enclosure which is where the drive is sitting now connected via USB to my MINI.

I have a question about installing an OS to try on a USB hard disk. If I place the ISO on this drive and boot to it, and continue on with the install process, where will it install to? This is important because I do not want to lose all of my Mac files.

I ran disk utility today and received a message stating: "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc) and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk. I check the box my mid 2010 MacBook Pro came in and there is no disk. I am currently running OS X 10.6.8. I have tried searching online to find instructions for creating or downloading a Mac OS X installation disk, but my search has not been successful. How do I create or where can I download the correct Mac OS X installation disk so that I can make the repair?

I work in Tech Services at my University, and I've been presented with this issue multiple times at work. I think my entire group of co-workers have just been living with the precedent, a notion that I think is entirely false. Here's an example of the situation:
A student comes in with a non-working MacBook, vintage 2006, say. Something's wrong with the OS itself.. the student probably deleted /etc or something, not knowing what it was. Regardless, the computer is effectively borked and a reinstallation of Mac OS X is in order. My co-workers, and even my boss, tell me that I need to have _their_ disk to perform the reinstallation.
I think that's wrong. Mac OS X installation disks are now all the same. Newer ones might have newer drivers for newer machines, but outside of that, so long as a person has a license to that version of Mac OS X which was on their computer, they can use whatever media they like. If they own a Mac, they have a license already to the version it came installed with.
I don't believe there is any breach of license or copyright here by simply having our own archive of installation media for Macs, so long as we install the same version that corresponds with their computer's default setup.
I do realize that doing this will lose their iLife installation and any other third-party software that they had their computer configured with, but I can say personally that I'd be more glad to have a working computer and no Office than a non-working computer and Office.
Anyone have some thoughts? I'd like someone with more IP/legal knowledge to share their thoughts.

I have a Macbook Air and I want to install Windows 7 in boot camp. however since I have a 128 SSD I definitely want to minimize the disk space it uses. I installed it on an imac and it took 14 Gigs!
Is there any way to do what we can do in OS X, remove print drivers etc? I couldn't see any option during the installation on the imac.
Dont like to allocate 24 gig for Windows since I need some space for any applications as well.

My problem is that when I try to boot to the XP installation disk, I get the very fast, flashing, gray apple, followed by a question mark folder, followed by the ghostbuster symbol, without the ghost.
The disc keeps spinning, but the windows installation screen never appears.
I'm new to installing windows with boot camp.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Right, my macbook won't boot so i brought a copy of the SL disk from Apple. Put cd in went through to the click continue screen and clicked the Utilities and then Disk Utility and chose my drive and clicked 'Veriy Disk' Clicked that and it said it needed to be repaired and click the 'Repair Disk' button. Done that and it gets through some of it then spits up and error message saying the disk cannot be repaired.
I really need my stuff off of there becuase have'nt got a back-up so if someone could at least tell me how to recover my things i would be really greatful.

I'm trying to recapture/repair my Entourage database on G4 Powerbook running 10.5.8. I've booted from the Leopard installation DVD, but when I try to "repair disk" Disk Utility says the disk cannot be unmounted.
Let me backtrack: I've run verify permissions and repair permissions.
When I run "verify disk" I could a couple of red-letter notaions
-- Invalid Extent Entry
-- Invalid Extent Entry
-- Incorrced number of file hard links
and then the conclusion:
-- Fileystem verify or repair failed.
Info:
PowerBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8), G$ 17"

I have an Intel Mac Mini running OS X Snow Leopard, the problem is since last November, I've had to use Disk Utility and my Snow Leopard Installation disk to repair my volume because of Permission problems, at least 3-4 times. And I know I shouldn't have to do this!

So my mom just bought an iMac from her friend's mother, and I'm trying to restore it to factory settings using the Installation disks that came with my MacBook Pro. I just inserted the discs and clicked "Install Mac OS X" and then it gives me a "Restart" button, but I cannot restart it without putting in the Password which I do not have. Is there another way to do this?

I'm trying to help a friend fix his MacBook (white plastic) which has the folder with the question mark issue. I figured I'd do a clean install of Leopard but when the installation disk boots, it says it cannot detect Tiger which is necessary for the upgrade. I tried erasing the partition, but it gives me an error and stops the operation.

I purchased a copy of SL that I want to install on my MBA. I know that Leopard can be installed using the remote disk feature since my MBA doesn't have a DVD drive. problem is that I can't find anywhere saying that SL will support that function. Although I did see that the minimum system requirements require a DVD drive, but it doesn't say anything about a remote drive.
I'm sure it would be stupid if it wasn't supported, but then again you can't installed XP without the SuperDrive.

Here's the deal: I have the most recent 17" UMBP, purchased last August, 2009 and got the Snow Leopard Up To Date Disk, did an install on my stock Hard Drive and have been VERY happy with everything for the past few months.
But... All these threads championing the latest Intel SSD G2 have finally gotten to me and, I just purchased the 80GB model from Newegg. It should be here tomorrow.
Now, I ask that you confirm, a specific question about installation from my UTD disk and then advise.
note that I've searched a ton about this subject. It's been answered in so many conflicting ways, I'm running it by you guys once again.
So then, it seems that I can NOT install Snow Leopard from my UTD disk onto the new, fresh Intel SSD installed into my 17" UMBP. This is the case, yes?
A workaround, I figure, would be to install Leopard 10.5 onto the new SSD and then to a clean and erase and then instal of 10.6 on top. I assume the UTD will read 10.5 and let the upgrade proceed.
So, finally, a question: Should I be worried about installing a total of two OSs given that I (cheaply!) opted for the smaller 80GB SSD and that 10.6 doesn't support TRIM?

My stepson made a DVD copy of some old film he had and gave a copy to my wife and she wants me to make some more copies to give to other family members. Don't know how so did it the eHow way as shown. The original will play in my Sony player but not the copy and it won't play on my mac either, what did I do wrong? My grandson asked if I finalized, don't know what that is, took it out when the mac said burn complete.
1. Place the DVD you want to copy into your DVD drive.
2. Go to and click on the hard drive and select "Applications." From there, launch the disk utility.
3. Click on the name of your DVD that appears in the white pane on the left hand side in disk utility.
4. Choose "New Image" in the disk utility toolbar. From there a dialog box will appear. Name the new image and choose a destination where you want to save to save it. The best idea is to save it to your desktop because it will make it easier to find when it's time to burn the image.
Burn the DVD.
Insert blank DVD.
Launch disk utility again.
Select burn in toolbar.
Find where you saved image if you didn't save to desktop. (I did save to desktop)
Click on DVD image and then click burn.
Insert blank DVD and your DVD should be ready in no time.
