    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

    I forgot my password on my icloud backup, how can I retrive?

    There is no password for connecting a mouse.  There's passwords for logging in.  Perhaps passwords from waking from sleep or screen saver. 
    Perhaps you mean how do you pair it to your machine.  If it works as it should go into your mouse system preferences and click the "Set up bluetooth mouse" button.

  • HT201363 I forgot the answers for my security questions , how can I get them back ?

    I forgot the answers for my security questions , how can I get them back ?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
