Chapter 5 Troubleshooting 65
Reinstalling the Software That Came With Your Computer
Use the software install discs that came with your computer to reinstall Mac OS X and
the applications that came with your computer, and to install Mac OS 9 (if you want to
use Mac OS 9 applications 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 computer, follow
these steps:
1 Back up your essential files, if possible.
2 Make sure your power adapter is 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.”
5 Follow the onscreen instructions.
6 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.
Note: If you want 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.”
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.
After selecting the destination disk for installation, continue following the onscreen
instructions for a basic installation of Mac OS X. To install custom applications, click
Customize, click the triangle next to the application, and put a check in the box next to
the application that matches your language.
Installing Applications
To install just the applications that came with your computer, follow the steps below.
Your computer must have Mac OS X already installed.
1 Back up your essential files, if possible.
2 Make sure your power adapter is plugged in.
3 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 that came with your computer.
4 Double-click “Install Bundled Software Only.”
