How to get Original OS DVD That Came With MacBook Pro

Hi,
I bought this MacBook Pro last year - I think I did not get a restore DVD with the OS etc. with it. Is there a way for me to get it from Apple?
Thanks,
Apurva

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.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

    I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

  • Install Snow Leopard from CD that came with MacBook Pro to different Mac

    I need to re-install Snow Leopard on an older MacBook of mine I want to clean out for my wife.
    The problem is the Snow Leopard CD (family pack) I purchased months ago is scratched, damaged I believe by an iMac at my business. I want to see if it is possible to install 10.6 from the CD's I recently got with my new MacBook pro. I tried to use them in the MacBook (Intel) I'm trying to hand off to my wife but after I selected the language option I got an error message stating I couldn't install that disc on the computer. It already runs 10.6 so I know it's not an OS issue. Is my MacBook detecting that the installation CD is not the same one that came with it?
    Sorry for the wordy post and thanks in advance for any help.

    From what i can tell, the media contains only the necessary files to install to that model-specific hardware.
    This is both for licensing & technical reasons. Licensing because that disc is licensed for use only with that specific Mac (not model, literally just that Mac) & technical because pre- & post-install scripts & other installer features on grey system discs are designed just for that model.
    Curious. I know i've used system restore discs from one machine on another due to the fact that we used to - for reasons unknown to me - allow users to keep their restore discs, at which point they subsequently lost them.
    Perhaps it's just older models that allowed it?
    No matter. Thanks for the clarification.

  • How do I use a usb web cam with MacBook Pro

    How do I use a web camera with a MacBook Pro?  I want to run it through my laptop so I can project it on a screen for teaching a class.

    You can try it, but probably not. 
    This Apple article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2134 explains that a Firewire-connected, tape-based camera or camcorder mode will work.
    If you don't have access to one that works, a simple workaround is to record your video with QuickTimeX Player (the v.10.x one from Lion).  You can import that recorded video into iMovie for editing.
    If your Mac OS is earlier than Lion whose QuickTime does not offer movie recording as installed, use QuickTime7 Pro for recording.

  • Missing games that came with MacBook Pro

    I have somehow managed to lose the backgammon, reversi, chess etc that come preloaded with the MacBook Pro.  I have done a search and I have check applications and can't find them anywhere - any suggestions please?

    I think chess is the only one game app which comes with Mac OSX, though...

    I do have a gray application DVD that came with my MacBook Pro by how to use it.

    You don't, your signature says you have 10.7.5 and the disk is either 10.5 or 10.6, has outdated software on it.
    Keep it in case of emergency in a very safe place in case you need to reinstall on a new drive, then upgrade to 10.7.5 again.

    Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard. 
    Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed. 
    Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
    Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I think my hard drive is toast.  When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:
    CSRHID Transition Driver: start booting in single user... will wait for window server
    Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")
    SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00
    SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00

    These messages keep repeating with the numbers (xxxxxxxxx) changing with each iteration.
    Does this indicate a bad hard drive?

  • HT4623 I lost my original USB cord that came with my phone- does that mean I can't update my phone with iTunes?

    I lost the original USB cord that came with my phone. I don't have enough available space on my phone to update wirelessly either and no matter how much I delete I still can't seem to free up enough space to update. I don't know what to do? My phone won't connect to any iTunes.

    You have two options at this point.
    Option 1
    1) Buy another cord and attach to itunes (applestore will have them or you can order them online).
    2) Find another cord to use.
    Option 2
    1) Connect your device to a wifi connection and plug device into a power source.
    2) Backup your device in icloud using: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
    3) Erase all content and settings.
    4) Setup as a new iphone (and do not restore from backup).
    5) Your phone should now be completely blank.
    6) software update over wifi.
    7) Setup your phone and restore from icloud backup.
    8) Gratz your running the latest version.

  • How do i delete an app that came with the latest 8.2 software update?

    How do i delete an app that came with the latest 8.2 software update?

    Since you can't delete apps that are part of iOS, you should try the same thing I do. I create a folder which I call Worthless and move to the last page of my iPhone. I then put all the apps that Apple includes with iOS into that folder. With the name Worthless, I never even tempted to look in there again. That is about the only thing you can do with worthless apps that are included with iOS.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

  • How to get install disk for lion on 2012 macbook pro

    How do i get a reinstall disk for drivers and lion as well as ilife so i can install a new ssd drive in my computer

    As Niel said, you have to install OS X through OS X Recovery. Respecting to iLife, if your Mac came with DVDs, you should have it on the Applications DVD that came with the Mac, and if it didn't come with DVDs, open App Store > Purchases, and install iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.
    Then, if you want, you can download OS X from the App Store instead of using Recovery, so you can burn the installer onto a DVD or USB drive with Lion Diskmaker, so you won't have to redownload OS X each time you want to reinstall. As you have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, it will only work if it came with OS X Lion and you upgraded to Mountain Lion

  • Where can I go to download the original drivers & mediasource that came with my Zen Xt

    I keep getting errors when trying to transfer all my songs from my Zen Xtra to my PC when using both Mediasource 5, Sync Manager and Nomad Explorer. Creative say it is because I'm still running on the original firmware and would need to upgrade. However - doing so will delete all my songs!
    It worked fine when I transferred using my original drivers and organiser that came with the player however I have lost the disc (!!!). Does anyone know where I can download them? There is only updated software on the creative downloads page.
    My Vision M comes tomorrow and I can't get my songs off my Zen for it!
    Thanks very much for helping.

  • Install OS X 10.4 onto my laptop from DVD that came with iMac G5?

    Hi!
    I just got an iMac G5, and want to install OSX 10.4 onto my laptop (G4 800 Mhz iBook) but can't seem to do so. Is there some way to do this, for example if I were to boot the iBook in target disk mode, or is the DVD that comes with the Imac locked in some way to prevent installation on other computers? Is this some kind of "one computer only" license? I don't recall this issue with OS X in the past!
    Thanks.

    Hi mrp,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    You CANNOT use hardware specific software install&restore disks that shipped with another computer. These simply do not contain the hardware drivers for any other computer model but the one they originally shipped with. You have to buy the retail full install DVD.
    Besides this technical limitation it would also be ILLEGAL. Apple's Mac OS X Software License Agreement states in point 2:
    2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
    A. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time,...

  • How do i recover the drivers that came with the delivery? (Dolby problem after 8.1update)

    Hello there community!
    I have a burning question.
    I recently bought a thinkpad edge 540. Which came preinstalled with windows 8.
    When i updated to 8.1 I lost my dolby audio, this seems to happen a lot more, reading through this community.
    There is a solution for that, to just reinstall the audio input and output device with the drivers that came with the delivery. However, and here is my problem.
    In the solutions given, they are talking about a section on the hard drive that should contain the drivers. In most cases E:\DRIVERS.
    Unfortunately, thats not the case with me. I know there is a recovery partition, but i cant see it within windows.
    I used this to reset to the factory defaults already, but i cant find a drivers section.
    Im hesitant to update again to 8.1 now, because it gave me several issues. One of them was the intel wifi driver, which was hard to resolve in the beginning, but also now the DOLBY audio.
    Can anyone tell me, where to find the drivers? or is it just not possible?
    I dont have a drivers section, or partition on my hard drive anyway..
    Can you guys please help me out? Since i like the dolby feature, and it would be a shame to not be able to update to 8.1. (safety issues and features).
    I know there are more people encountering this problem, but the solution to just use the preinstalled driversection.. is not an option for me, sadly. Or perhaps I am wrong..
    Any help is greatly appreaciated! Thanks guys!

    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you may be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download however they are not under any obligation to do so. The policy on lost songs is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage."
    You can email them from any of the links on this page: iTMS Customer Service
