Hey everyone,

I'm having a problem with my mac that the OS was not installed properly thus a select number of programs are not working properly or not at all. The biggest one being the installer. If someone would be able to upload a copy of there installer that would be great. Thanks.

Why don't you just reinstall the operating system and save yourself some hassle?

I would repair permissions and then down load and install the combo update of whatever version of the OS you are running. Then do another repair permissions.

Listen, I cannot believe you have the Terminal missing from a working OS X system. And what do you mean by the Installer? Installer of what?

And no I will not uploading anything here.

Yeah, I'm thinking we'd all be a bit more forthcoming if you weren't being so opaque.
