Reinstall the os 10.7 or upgrade without installation

I just bought a macbook online it of a late 2007 and was running lion but it requires a reinstall. I do not have the disks to doo it, but I have the origanal 10.5 installation disks.

I can get as far as the app store connection prior to say its not available.  It's my only mac and I can't go on a desk. How should I do this?

Your use of the machine must have been restored to its original state before you bought it.

You can always buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store and then buy Lion on the Apple Store with a redemption code.

  • Deliver the JRE with own desktop application - without installation

    Hello

    the Java license allows to distribute Java with a software application, if Java is required to run this application. I don't want my users to worry about operating systems, java versions, and facilities. So my idea was to place the JRE in a subfolder of my application and use a native Launcher to start the jar containing the main program, using JRE in the subfolder.

    It seems to work - and I'm sure that previous versions of the IDE eclipse does exactly this way. Unfortunately, I am unable to find any download that contains the ENVIRONMENT without an installer. And first of all install and then copy the extracted files seems to be a dirty workaround. Also, it is not really clear if it could conform to the java license.

    So my question would be if there are any specific approach for this.

    Your approach should work (one platform at a time) and is legal. For more details, go to your JRE directory and read the readme.txt file.

    I have a client who is moving from a workgroup to a domain based network.  About half of the computers are Windows 7 Home edition.  I need to upgrade to Pro so I can join the domain.  I was not able to find an easy way to do it since Anytime Upgrade no longer works on Windows 7.  The only time I did, I had to by a free license key and ended up having to completely reinstall the operating system.  So, how can I switch to Win 7 Pro without reinstallation of the operating system or go to Windows 8.

  • to update without permissions, then had to uninstall and reinstall the browser

    I have Firefox setup to inform me of updates, but not really up-to-date without anything to say so. Today, Firefox itself upgrade v37, is crushed, then would not be re - open. After several re-booting my computer I had to uninstall and reinstall the browser and now it the patch v37. If I wanted to auto-update feature I would choose the option for that, but I did not.

    Questions are "why it update when it is not supposed to" and "why he should be reinstalled after it updated itself without permission»

    When the message about an update to Firefox being available, the user has to the [first] see this message, which tends to go behind the main browser window if the user is either click on something to the exact instance dialog box appears. And [2nd] say "not now" immediately, otherwise after that 30 seconds the download will proceed without waiting for a response. It's like this since June 2008 when Firefox 3.0 came out.

  • Activator Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade without reloading XP on the system first?

    After the purchase of a brand new (without OS) computer I tried to load my software to genuine Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) upgrade I had bought for intended use on my old computer but never charge over there because it was "of the problems' (where the new pc).

    Well not that no responsible OS Windows 7 could be installed from the CD on the new pc and worked for 3 days in a satisfactory manner. Now, I get an activation error telling me that the 25 char key is not valid. I checked that the software is legitimate using windows audit but saw on the Faq that the problem may be that MS does not accept my key I did have my genuine XP loaded on the pc before I installed the 'upgrade' (how can you update a pc and run perfectly without the old version being loaded first (for example after a HD format) If you are then obliged to have an older version Windows on the machine to activate it first?)
    What I want to know is: if I have the legitimate windows of the keys (Win XP and Win 7 Ult) is there a way I can get windows 7 (currently load and operation) activated WITHOUT having to wipe everything on the HD, load win xp and then 'upgrade' to win 7 all over again?
    NB: the pack Win 7 did not state it's an upgrade only.

    You could try the activation of the phone and explain your situation, but they will probably tell you to first install a qualifying operating system.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    I deleted two e-mail accounts in mail on my iMac (El Capitan). I have reinstalled the first without problem. When I tried the second, I got an error message that the account already exists. Any suggestions?

    First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.

    From the Mail menu bar, you select

    ▹ Connection Doctor window

    In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

    Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  • Satellite P25: How to reinstall the original software without original car work?

    I have a P25 who lost his screen and dvd.
    The screen is black with a low light (control problem charts I am told by Toshiba repair - requiring parent = USD1000 map change).

    The DVD (Mat * u UJ - 809?) produces noise, but is not recognized by Windows.

    So I now use it as a desktop with external display, keyboard, and DVD player.

    As with all windows installation got clogged so now, things I had to reinstall the Windows MC supplied with the machine. However, the recovery DVDs running from an external DVD drive does not work.

    Because it boots I get a message BACK that is not DVD and an A > prompt.
    I can install a new version of XP, but then I miss the features of MC and need to install all of the P25 drivers manually.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help.

    (If someone would have a great idea on the screen as well, please let me know)

    Thank you
    Tom

    Hello
    I can not say what tests your repair service ran, but the problem of the screen could probably be an Inverter problem. As for the problem of dvd. I heard that need laptops Toshiba Toshiba external CD/DVD to boot or otherwise it won't work. I have never tried so I can't attest to that, but it could very well be probably that. Assuming that your CD/DVD is listed in the hardware with a yellow exclamation point Manager to do this, start-> run-> regedit then proceed as follows.

    go to hkey_local_machine, then system, CurrentControlSet, Control, then class.
    {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} this is your cd/DVD. Once there in the list on the right check a component called filter haunted, click it, click on remove and then delete. Then do the same for the UpperFilter. Remove both filters and then right-click on my computer on your desktop. Go to properties-> hardware-> Device Manager. Right click on your cd/DVD and click on disenstall. Go to the top, then click on search of new material. It should find your cd/DVD and reinstall the driver, without any conflict. I hope this helps.

  • Reinstalling the software on DV4-1028us after Win8 Vista upgrade

    If I upgrade a DV4-1028us my wife from Vista to Win 8, will I still be able to access the recovery partition to reinstall the software?

    Hi jcmclean,

    It depends on how you upgrade.  I'd take a glance at this document before the upgrade, which should answer other questions you may have as well.

    Remember, more than likely HP does not go to the material support for W8 on any system purchased before October 1, 2011.  Most of the pilots of W7 works in W8, but not sure about Vista.

    You can run the software from the upgrade wizard, which will scan your PC and report on what is currently installed on your PC is compatible with the W8.

  • How to move a local network printer without having to reinstall the drivers

    Hello

    Is it possible to change a printer to a network printer on a local printer without having to reinstall the printer drivers?

    The computer on which the printer (a Lanier LP116c PCL 5 c) is currently connected [directly] is running Win XP.  It is a stand-alone computer without any connectivity; network, internet ect.   He has no printer drivers installed because the computer had been connected to another computer by using working groups and was able to print at the Lanier through working groups.  But now that there is no longer connected to the 'network', but rather directly connected to the printer, it will not be printed.

    I tried to change the properties of the driver to "tell the computer" that the printer is now connected directly however when I try to open the properties I: "printer properties cannot be displayed.  The print spooler service is not running.

    How to 'know the computer' that the printer is now connected directly without having to reinstall the dirivers?

    Thank you!

    Carrie

    You have two questions.  One is assigning the correct port for the printer and the other is fixing what is originally the print spooler service to not run.

    As much as I can give you guidelines on how solve the second problem, it will be much easier for you to uninstall and reinstall the printer (once the print spooler works again) that in order to create a "USB virtual port" which is what needs to be done unless the computer was once a printer connected by USB is installed.

    Often, but not always, an order print spooler is the result of a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

    AntiMailware MalwareBytes
    SUPERAntiSpyware

    Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

    Cleaning of printers

    NOTE: If you have ever had (but retired) a Lexmark or Dell - badged Lexmark printer installed, the command "net start spooler" to step below may fail.  In this case, type the following line in the black command prompt window and then type the command "net start spooler" again:

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Note that there is no space before the =

    If still no joy, use the alternative method that is linked below.

    A. Clean on print jobs pending

    • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
    net start spooler
    output

    B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.

    Alternative to the method of his first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

    Once the print spooler has started, click Start > printers and faxes, right click on the Lanier printer icon and select properties and select the Ports tab.  If you already have a USB connected printer installed on this computer, there should be a port named USBnnn.  If there is, check the box and OK your way out and your printer should now print when connected by USB.  If there is no USB port listed, then do the reinstall as explained in an Article.  The driver install package available here should create and install the USB port for you: http://www.lanier.com/downloads/driverFrame.aspx?path=http://support.aficio.com/bb/html/dr_ut_e/lan_u/model/c30e/c30een.htm

    It is the major limitation of the OEM software that it can be installed on a PC. The COA label will confirm whether the license is OEM. A number of elements can be replaced in a PC in the way of repair, but only if exactly the same model of Council can this be exchanged.

    Even if you transfer the drive to the new PC would not authenticate because of the change of equipment, and it would be unlikely to to re-authenticate online.

    If the label is not OEM and you have a retail package, so it can be transferred.
