Problem, Meet Solution

Reinstalling the Software That Came with Your MacBook Pro

Use the software installation discs that came with your computer to reinstall Mac OS X

and any applications that came with your computer.

Important:

Apple recommends that you back up the data on your hard disk before

reinstalling software. Apple is not responsible for any lost data.

Installing Mac OS X and Applications

To install Mac OS X and the applications that came with your MacBook Pro:

1

Back up your essential files.

Because the Erase and Install option erases your hard disk, you should back up your

essential files before installing Mac OS X and other applications.

2

Make sure your power adapter is connected, plugged in, and the light is on.

3

Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 that came with your computer.

4

Double-click Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software. To install only the applications

that came with your computer, double-click Bundled Software Only.

Note: To install iCal, iChat AV, iSync, iTunes, Safari, and the iLife ‘08 applications,

double-click “Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software.”

5

Follow the onscreen instructions.

6

After selecting the destination volume for installation, continue following the onscreen

instructions. Your computer might restart and ask you to insert the next Mac OS X

installation disc.

Note: To restore Mac OS X on your computer to the original factory settings,

click Options in the Select a Destination pane of the Installer, and then select Erase

and Install.
