Troubleshooting

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

To install Mac OS X, follow these steps:

1

Back up your essential files, if possible.

2

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

3

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

4

Follow the onscreen instructions.

5

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

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

install disc.

Important:

Because the “Erase and Install” option erases your destination disk, you

should back up your essential files before installing Mac OS X and other applications.

Installing Applications

computer must have Mac OS X already installed.

1

Back up your essential files, if possible.

2

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

3

Double-click “Install Bundled Software Only.”

4

Follow the onscreen instructions.
