I have lost the install disks that came with my 2011 macbook pro, do i need to pay for new disks?

Hi
Iv lost my install disks for my 2011 Macbook pro and i want to reformat my hard drive. Do i need to buy new discs? I cant find a download on the appstore so i guess i cant download it for free since i have already bought it.
Any Ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Cheers!
Tom.

Yes. Phone Apple Support and order replacements.

    Thanks stevejobsfan0123 for the reply, I know I have to buy a disk but when I searched for it on amazon I read many reviews about saying that either it is inadequate or that it's a scam. Do you know any website where I can get a legitimate disk of windows7?

  • I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman)

    I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman). However, the charging power adapter still here.
    I don't have any other cable.
    My phone's USB port use Micro-B connector.
    If I buy a high quality USB cable with Micro-B connector, will it be compatible for both charging and data transfer?
    Is it necessary to buy the original Sony Ericsson USB cable? If yes, which model should I buy?

  • FaceTime came installed on machine but is not on the install disc that came with machine - Help!!!

    My machine crashed and I had to do a fresh install. It did not recognize my discs that came with the machine. A Mac tech got me back up and running but FaceTime has gone missing. It's not on the discs that came with my machine but was originally installed on the machine when I got it. What's the best way to get it back without

    You're welcome....
    Check appstore and see if they want you to buy it again or see if you can download it for free.
    Sorry I'm not much help.
    Good luck and hope you get it sorted out.

  • How can I find out the serial number for my FCE 4.0 that came with my old MacBook Pro?

    When I try and open my old FCE projects on my new MacBook Pro, a dialog box pops up and asks me to input the serial number for my Final Cut Express program. The software came pre-loaded on my old MacBook Pro which died. Luckily, my local Apple store was able to transfer the fcp files to my new MacBook Pro, which came with FCP X installed. I just can't open those files without the serial number of the FCE 4.0 program.

    It is almost impossible to transfer FCE as there are so many essential hidden files that workers in an Apple Store will know nothing about. The app needs to be installed from the original DVD.
    Other than buying another copy your only chance  (very remote) is to contact the Apple Store and see if they are able to get a replacement number from Apple.

  • I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

    I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
    Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
    I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
    Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
    If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

    The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
    If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
    Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
    This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.

  • 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:

  • HT3777 if i restore my macbook back to its factory settings with the grey install disk that came with my macbook, will this wipe out the bootcamp partition? (i don't want it to)

    i have asked this question a few times now, but i have not got the answer i was looking for:
    my macbook is currently on v10.6.8 (a snow leopard version)
    the factory settings of my macbook is v10.5.6 (a leopard version; i know that using the grey install disk that came with my macbook will restore my macbook back to this version)
    i know that by restoring my macbook to the factory settings, some apps will go (e.g. flash player 12, app store) and other apps will be downgraded (like itunes)
    but i am talking about BOOTCAMP. it isn't an app, it's a partition of my hard drive.
    my question is, will i still have the BOOTCAMP partition after i restore my macbook back to its factory settings? if so, will all the folders and files in BOOTCAMP still be there?

  • How do I revert to Snow Leopard from Mountain Lion? I do not have the setup disk that came with my MacBook but I do have the Snow Leopard software.

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and very much regret this move.  I cannot use Parallels or Bootcamp for Windows XP which I need for some of my 'older' accessories.  How do I revert from Mountain Lion back to Snow Leopard?  I have the Snow Leopard software but I do not have the original setup software disk that came with the MacBook (leant to a friend and never seen again).

    If you do revert to Snow Leopard, be aware of this "feature" I used with my 2009 MacBook Pro:
    When it had the original OS (Leopard, I believe) I set up Bootcamp with Windows XP.  I also installed Parallels and use the Bootcamp partition for Windows XP within Parallels.
    I then upgraded to Snow Leopard and all was fine.
    I then upgraded to Lion and still my Bootcamp partition works for Windows XP and also for Parallels.
    I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion so I cannot speak to whether or not the Bootcamp paritition of Windows XP will continue to work.  If you do and it works, LET US KNOW!

  • I want to sell my MBP. How do I completely erase my 2007, 17-inch Macbook Pro that is currently running Snow Leopard. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE BOX ANYMORE.

    I want to sell off my old MacBook Pro and do not want any of my old stuff on it for the next person to fool around with. I'd like a clean-slate for the next guy/gal. It's a 17-inch that I purchased back in '07. It is currently running Snow Leopard after I installed it myself about two years ago. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE LAPTOP IN THE BOX.

    No problem, stick in your 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk you used to upgrade from 10.4/10.5 with
    If you don't have this disk anymore, you can order one online at Apple.com for $29, they don't sell it in the physical stores.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Reboot holding the c or option key down to boot from the disk, select Disk Utility from under the Utilities menu on the second screen (first is language selection)
    Now select your boot drive on the left with the drive makers name and disk size and click Erase > Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase
    It will take some time to complete as it's making sure all your personal data if not easily recoverable off the drive using software.
    Now quit and you will be back in the installer window, install 10.6 and it will reboot to the "Welcome Video" you can choose to press the power button down and do a hard shutdown, the computer will boot again to this video for the next owner.
    If you need even more security in your data deletion efforts I suggest you read this

  • I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

    I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer.  Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?  The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
    Why not just clone your hard drive?  It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
    Unless you're having issues with your old set up or  your old hard drive is dead.
    You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
    Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
    Good luck

  • I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
    I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.
