[QUOTE="dylaninthehat, post: 702204, member: 44806"] So here's the problem, my PowerMac G5 has been getting more and more buggy recently and I've somehow let a lot of things get unorganized. I've got files scattered all over and I've decided the best solution is to just do a fresh install of Leopard. Now the only problem is I have a lot of applications, I mean a lot. For some reason I tossed out the disc images with the installers on them when I was finished installing the apps for the first time. At first I thought I could literally just drag the applications to my external drive before the install and then back from my external drive into the applications folder when I was done with the fresh install, but then I realized that wouldn't work because some of the core files of the applications are spread out into different folders on the system. So when I dragged the apps back in, they would be missing critical files and end up not working. Do you see my problem? I need some solution that will save me having to re-download and re-install the 80+ applications I currently have on my mac. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. -Dylan [/QUOTE]
