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. 56 Chapter 4 Problem, Meet Solution
