Reinstalling the Software That Came with Your MacBook

You can 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

restoring 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 computer:

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 and plugged in.

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 Install Bundled Software Only.
Note: To install iCal, iChat AV, iSync, iTunes, Safari, and the iLife 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.
