Does MacBook pro provide the free applications install DVD recently?
Recently my mum purchased MacBook Pro 13 inch with Lion OS, there isn't any DVDs included inside the package. But previously my MacBook pro did provide free applications install DVD. Just wondering, new MacBook pro didn't provide install DVD together with MacBook?

Wiped macbook pro will not boot from install DVD
I recently purchased an older MacBook Pro that came with the OS system wiped but it did have the original Install DVDs. The computer will not boot from the DVD. I have booted holding down the C key and nothing happens. I have booted holding down the Option key and it shows the Install DVD and I select this and nothing happens.
How do I get it to open up the Utilities from the DVD to install the operating system?It could be a problem with the optical drive, but also may be due to the DVD's being for a different model.
Exactly which MBP do you have, and what serial numbers are on the discs ?. -
MacBook Pro not starting OS X install DVD
So I purchased a 15" MBP in August 2010, and I formatted it yesterday. I zeroed it out, and currently have no OS. And now when I'm trying to start OS X Install DVD (10.6 family bundle) and it wont start. Im holding alt button and it finds the disc. I click it and there pops up a gray Apple logo. No spinning circle or anything, just the logo. My buddy tried the disk on his 13" 2010 MBP and it worked fine.
What can I do? The only steps ive done so far is format the disk, then zeroing it out, and now it wont install.Hi,
You cant lose it!!! The installation disk is part of your mac and it is extremely important!

The certificate on my applications install DVD for bundled software has expired. I am unable to reinstall with this dvd on my snow leopard on macbook pro. Pl help. If I use Lion, it works fine with the expired certificate. But doesnt work with snowleopard.
Create a DMG file of your DVD (instructions here: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-DMG-File-on-a-Mac).
Then follow the instructions here: http://managingosx.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/fixing-packages-with-expired-signatu res/ -
I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?
All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

Any application I install on my MacBook Pro gives the message "The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" What can I do?
Well that's one. Try the Microsoft help forums: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support It's their application.
Name another. -
I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either. I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!
There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
10. Reset the NVRAM.
11. Reset the SMC.
12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. -

No. 10.7 never came one a disk. Read this:
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start from Lion.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

anyone else with application incompatibilites?
Okay, so, fast forward from July to now -
- I've visited my closest Apple store's genius bar twice now. (Over an hour and a half away.)
- My computer spent at least 8 hours behind their closed doors in the workshop
- Several complete erases of the harddrive have taken place
- Most of the Apple geniuses I dealt with were nice and very knowledgeable, but they were and still aren't 100% sure exactly what is wrong with my computer.
The good news is:
- They were able to at least get it running again, with a clean install from their servers of OS X Lion 10.7.5
- They believe that my problems stem from either 1 of 2 things:
- Faulty Hard Drive (even though it is brand new)
- The wrong build of software being installed.
Now, while the wrong build does seem like it could be the problem, it doesn't make sense in the aspect that all of the initial problems began when the first hard drive failed. The same problems continued when I changed out the failed hard drive with the brand spanking new one, and only slightly improved when I was able to successfully install the OS that came with the original disks for my computer. I'm not convinced this thing is back to normal, but hopefully I can make it last through getting a shiny new retina Macbook Pro in the coming future. Thank you so much to everyone who read and replied to this post!

Installation fails on Application Install DVD included with Macbook Pro
Not sure if this is the appropriate forum... please move/advise if there is a better one.
I'm restoring my Macbook Pro to the factory default settings using the supplied DVDs and the installation instructions provided on the OS X Install DVD.
The Application Install DVD fails about 2/3 of the way through the installation process. The error simply says Installation Failed in big, bold mocking letters.
I'm assuming the DVD is damaged... I don't know what else it could be considering it's a clean install and I have no problems installing the OS.
Apple is sending a new DVD, but my real question is this:
Is the DVD that comes with the Macbook Pro more or less the same as purchasing iLife? In other words, can I continue configuring my system, installing other applications, moving over backed up media, etc., and then install the Applications DVD when it arrives - or - is it best to install both the OS and Applications DVD on a clean system?OK--and my bad for not answering the question you actually asked.
I checked my original system discs for my MBP, and did not find a separate iLife disc. So I would assume that the iLife applications would be on the disc that won't install, although I cannot be 100% certain of your situation since I am not sure exactly what Mac you have and how the software was originally shipped. I know my iBook had a separate iLife disc. The MBP system discs seem to be dual layer DVD's, so they would hold much more than the CD's that originally came with my iBook.
I think you would want to have the application installed and updated before transferring any files that depend on that application. For example, if you have a lot of photos, you would want to have iPhoto or some other photo application installed before moving your photography files. You can check in Finder to see what you have, and you can directly download some applications like iTunes. So you can probably transfer the files that you have the application for, and wait on any that will have to be installed from your DVD that is coming.
Hope this helps! Good luck! -
I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
Thank youAssuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store. -
I bought a second hand G4 iBook with iLife 09 on it. I have copied iLife to my new Macbook Pro. The applications would not open, so I did a software update and update all three applications, but they will still not open. Can anyone help?
The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro and the Finder keeps quitting - how do i fix it?
Worse, i can't force quit the finder and get it to relaunch - the command won't work.
Most of the Lion software also won't work - iTunes, Mail, iCal - and only some of the preferences work.
The message:
Finder quit unexpectedly.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Won't go away no matter if i hit Ignore or Report...
I have no clue what to do...
Any help?Does that happen if you boot into "safe mode"? Launch the Console utility and look for messages that might explain the problem. If you see a "crash report", post its contents here.
