  • I recently got a hand-me-down Macbook (white) 2010 and want to restore to factory settings. The computer did not come with any discs. It is running 10.6.8 and I purchased 10.6.3 recently to upgrade my MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook?

    I want to give the hand-me-down to my kids so they will stay off my MacBook Pro I'd like to start fresh with the MacBook, remove all the former owners information, restore it to factory settings, but it did not come with any installation discs, so I don't know what to do. I recently purchased Snow Lepoard for my 2008 MacBook Pro. Can I use that to restore the MacBook? Also, the former owner purchased Microsoft Office (ugh) with the computer but again, no installation discs. How do I keep that when I restore?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I purchased a mini to HDMI cable and tried to connect to the TV but the TV is not recognizing the computer. I attempted to set sound and display settings under the "my Preferences" utility with no success.  Again, I'm not sure if I need to upgrade my OS software Any Suggestions?

  • I bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any software disks. how would make it work without the software disk?

    Bought an Apple Airport Extreme used and it did not come with any discs. Do i need any discs? or is there another way to setup this airport without using a software disc?

    You can download the setup manual and software that you need.
    Look on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme for the Model Number.  It's A.......  something.
    Post back with the model number and the exact operating system you are running on your Mac or PC.

  • Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD

    Since my MacBook Pro did not come with an iDVD and my old mac has an old iDVD, if I get an iLife 09 or 11 will I be able to install the iDVDs from these programs or are the iDVDs just an upgrade? Thank you.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

  • HT1338 My Macbook Pro did not come with apps like iMovie or GarageBand...why?

    I just purchased the Macbook Pro after it had recently been updated in-store with OS X Lion, and today I also upgraded it to Mountain Lion. However, my macbook did not come with iLife, iMovie, or GarageBand. How do I go about fixing this? I don;t want to pay for them online via the app store, because they are supposed to come with the laptop.

    iLife is no longer offered with the upgrade OS, a inconvenience for many. 
    iLife was never offered with an OS update. It comes with the purchase of the Mac.
    If the Mac was updated by someone in the store to Lion, that means it was old enough that it came with probably Snow Leopard. There should be a set of grey DVDs that came with the Mac. The iLife applications were on one of the DVDs.

  • MacBook Pro did not come with reinstall DVD

    Just purchased a new Macbook Pro today from the Apple store. I was shocked to see it didn't come with install dvds and was wondering if this is the case or it was a mistake. Thank you for your time.

    No more disks with new Mac's, you get a Lion Recovery Partition on the drive you can hold Command R and boot into to use Disk Utility and download a fresh Lion from Apple servers provided you have a Apple ID
    There is supposedly Internet Recovery in the firmware in case you switch the drive or need a total drive reformat to rebuild the GPT, but I haven't seen it work for anyone yet.
    god forbid if you have anything less than 15 Mb/s download, even 20 Mb/s is slow downloading Lion on my connection, I think Apple moved to fast with this, they should drop the price of the $69 Lion USB and include it with every new Mac at purchase, not everyone has high speed or it's reliable and stable for Lion to install remotely.

  • My macbook pro did not come with iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and probably a few other apps.

    Aren't those supposed to come with the mac? I tried to return it but the future shop dude said just register the macbook and download the apps, they're free. Is that true? If so, how do I go about doing that? I'm starting to think I got ripped off or something, never again am I buying Apple products from anywhere but Apple.

  • My Macbook pro didn't come with any restore disks, How can I make some?

    I was just curious, Macs and Macbooks used to include restore disks. My new Macbook Pro did not come with any so how do I create a set?

    Though these instructions are for Mt. Lion, they will work for Mavericks as well.  Making one one of these will free you from depending upon Apple servers if the need should arise.

  • TS3649 my mac (2012) did not come with idvd.where can i get this program for download?

    My iMac os lion 10.7.2 (2012) did not come with idvd program. Where can I get this program for download?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - a free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    • Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • MY MAC DID NOT COME WITH RESTORE OR APPLICATION DISKS.  CAN I BURN A SET?

    HOW CAN I BURN A SET OF RESTORE DISKS?  MY MAC DID NOT COME WITH A SET.  ALSO APPLICATION DISKS.  THIS IS MY FIRST MAC AND I LOVE IT!

    Also, look through all the packaging carefully--there may be a tiny square box that has them hidden away.
    Good luck, and enjoy your new Mac!

  • Recently purchased iPod Touch did not come with current firmware

    I have just received my 32GB iPod touch from china but it did not come with the 3.0 update.
    Why do I have to pay for an update that was released over a month before I bought the iPod from Apple?
    Also, iTunes will not stop bothering me about updating to 3.0. Every time I open iTunes, a popup dialog come up asking me if I want to update the iPod Touch to 3.0.
    I would love to update but I refuse to pay for an update that's over a month old.

    Well, 3.0 really isn't an update as much as it is a new accessory for your Touch. It may seem like it should be an update, but it introduces many new features. If all it did was fix some errors it would be an update, but this is an entirely new release, hence the $10 charge. Trust me, you're not alone in expecting a new Touch to come with 3.0, but the reality is that this is how Apple's done this in the past (when 2.0 came out, the 1st generation Touches did not come with it -- only the 2nd generation ones did). iPhone users get 3.0 for free, but in reality that is a perk that Apple gives them for paying a monthly access fee. My guess is that 3.x won't come with a brand new Touch until the next generation is introduced.
    As far as the incessant "do you wanna buy 3.0" message, that may eventually go away if you decline it enough times.

  • I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my came

    I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

    That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
    There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:
