I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook help ASAP!!!

I need a new recovery disc for my MacBook so I can format and re-install the default operating system. I have lost the original recovery disc that came with my MacBook years ago. Can anybody tell me how and where I can order one from?
Also, I do have the original recorvery disc that came with my MacBook Pro, could I not just use this or would it not be compatible?
Help ASAP please...
Thank you!

For a fee, you could likely order a replacement install-restore DVD for your MacBook. To get the correct disc(s) and match the hardware to the system, you need to know and have the serial number of the product handy, and be able to answer some basic questions; and have a form of payment, such as credit card.
Call the Apple Store online (main US number, 1-800-MY-APPLE) or the main Apple Support number for US, 1-800-275-2273.
Or if you're in another country, you could try calling a Local in-country support number and ask, since they may have to redirect your call to another associate. See link below for Support phone numbers.
An operating systems specialist or other qualified person will be able to try & help obtain the correct disc or disc set; if the computer original gray-label set is no longer available, they may be able to check their extensive database against your product serial number to see if they may have another full install disc that can work.
This other option, if it happens, based on your MacBook serial number and build model identifier, could be slightly newer than the OS X version shipped with the MacBook, and not be gray-labeled.
A replacement install disc in retail version would not include any original MacBook applications, while a gray-label disc set should have most of them as part of a multiple DVD set, if available.

  • Do I Need a New Recovery Disc

    Just upgraded to Win7.  Do I need a new Recovery Disc?

    Hi,
    All you need are the original Recovery Discs and the Upgrade Disc - if you ever have to reinstall, use the Recovery Discs to install the original operating system and then use the Upgrade Disc to get back to Windows 7.

  • Re: Need Win 7 Recovery Disc for my Satellite Pro L750

    Hi all,
    Could someone tell me where to download or get a copy of the OEM Win 7 Recovery disc for my Satellite Pro L750? The laptop has a new HDD without a working recovery partition and I don't the recovery CD.
    Help Please.

    Yes of course you should make backup disks but this was my first personal laptop (unbelievable, right ? Never needed one before) and I wasn't aware i couldn't just make a recovery disk from any pc like I used to do for my desktop. The hdd is supposed to last for what, 5,000 hours ?
    I would be lucky to have had more than 1,000 hours on it. And no games play either; it had an easy life.
    As per Microsoft Forums I did a clean install of Windows 7 using a supposedly OEM setting download from Digital River (OEM in the 'channel' setting in the ei.efg file) but good old Toshiba must do something else in the hardware as slmgr /dli still states it's a 'retail' version so even though Microsoft would have given me a new product key (as to which i am entitled as i have purchased a licence when i bought the laptop), because the installation id states retail based, my genuine licence key number from the bottom of the laptop does not register as genuine when they check.
    I tried my desktop pc oem windows 7 installation disk that I got with the pc (now there's a whacky idea, providing a disk with the purchase...) and no luck there either. The laptop was still locked to its own licence key and retail version. I'm guessing even if i bought a new retail windows copy, it still wouldn't work !
    I still think $66 is far too much to pay to get the disks. I've already paid for the windows licence, But what choice has toshiba left me, other than to pay them their blood money.
    I may be a slow learner, but I do learn. I will never buy a Toshiba laptop, or other Toshiba product again. Sure, other companies will have the same licensing setup, but I'm not angry at them !

I have got my sisters discs from her macbook pro from late 2011, the OS version is 10.6.3 but they dont seem to want to install, i get an error before i can begin the install that says something along the lines of "not able to install this software on this macbook".

  • Need Win 7 recovery discs for new hard drive

    I am not sure which Windows 7 Operating system my laptop had, but I need the recovery discs to put Windows 7 back on my HP dv6-6167cl notebook. 
    My original issue was that my notebook was unable to restore or anything on its own.  After calling HP support and performing a guided diagnostics test, it was determined that my hard drive was bad.  I purchased a new hard drive and replaced it, but need to get Windows 7 back on it.
    Thanks!

  • HELP!!!!!! Need to create recovery disc for hdx laptop in Vista

    I have been told by HP that I can create a recovery disc right from my computer.  Really ...... please someone tell me where and how.  Right now there is nothing wrong with my PC but I have been stupid and forgot to create it previously. 
    As an added note, so I can vent, my service pak ran out last month, which HP did not remind me of with an email like they alwasy do, and the guy I spoke to was no help with that.  He said there was nothing I could purchase now.  Also, I was told by more than one person that I had lifetime chat support online ...... well that's a lie too I found out.  So, they will not help me at all now!!!!!!!!!  The guy also told me the reason I did not probably get an email was becasue the support for this laptop ended in August and it will become obsolete this coming August.  That is probably the reason he said.  Wow why did I buy a HP computer and not a Dell.  When I had my Dell I called like more than 10 years after buying the computer and received phone based technical help on it still and no I did not have an extended warranty at the time.  They gave lifetime technical assistant via phone.  Looks like I may have to switch back.  Sorry HP but my experience has been less than good.

    This document should help with the how to part of making the recovery disks.
    I have raised your post to the appropriate team for review. Someone should contact you via private message within two days.

  • I need a new Delete key for my MacBook Pro

  • I need a new inverter cable for my MacBook (5.5 years old).  Can I get it replaced cheaply, or should I buy a new laptop?

    Hi!  I have a 5.5-year-old Macbook4.1, and I've been having problems with the display.  I googled the problem and found out that I've got a wonky inverter cable.  Apparently, the part itself is relatively cheap, but the labor (which involves taking nearly the whole laptop apart) means that the repair is expensive.  The quote I got (in Germany, where I live) is 200 euros.
    My laptop has been functioning just fine besides the display problem, but since it's already so old, it seems to make sense to buy a new laptop rather than repairing this one.  However, someone told me that I should contact Apple first and see if they might cut me a deal on the repair, since I'm an existing customer and they'd want to keep me happy. I tried doing this through the Apple Support site, but I'd have to pay $50 to do that, which seems to defeat the purpose.  Going to an Apple store is also prohibitively expensive, since there aren't any very close to me.
    So my question is this.  Does anyone see any reason why I shouldn't buy a new laptop?  The one I would probably end up buying is about $550 (not a Mac), so it's more money than I'd pay for the repair, but...you know.  Sunk costs, and all that.  I'd be appreciative of any opinions!
    Sidenote: in case anyone doubts my diagnosis, here's a description of the problem.  When my screen is open, I can see a very faint picture on the display, but the screen is pretty much dark.  When I slowly tilt the screen as if to close it, the picture suddenly comes back.  So when the laptop is open at any angle more than about 45 degrees, the display is dark.

    go on give it a go! what have you got to lose;

  • In Need of a recovery disc

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC and a few weeks ago my screen was shattered but was covered under warranty. When my computer was sent into HP to get fixed from Best Buy they replaced my hard drive without telling me. When I was asked to pick up my computer up from Best Buy when it was finished they asked me to bring along my recovery disc which I didn't have so they ended up putting their generic windows stuff on my computer. Now I don't have any of if the applications that came with the computer. Is there anyway to get a new recovery disc for my computer? The computer that I bought was amazing and worth every penny but now that it doesnt have any of the original software, it sucks. 

    Hi,
    Yes..absolutely..you can get them..After you use it it'll becomes like the first day when you bought the notebook from HP..
    You can either order it online or just call Tech Support and inform that Best Buy replaced your Hard Drive and they'll send you the disks..
    The link below will guide you to order them online:

    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

  • Recovery disc for Equium M70 needed

    I have tried to recover my Equium M70-337 using the product recovery cd that was shipped with it, but this is corrupt and I now have a blank laptop.
    Where can I get a new recovery disc from? The laptop is too old for me to be able to order one from Toshiba.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This notebook model is too old and you will probably not be able to order new recovery disc.
    What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask if they have one that can borrow you for testing purposes.
    You can also use Microsoft WXP installation disc for OS installation. All necessary drivers you can find on Toshiba download page so you don't need recovery disc.
    If you need some help about it let me know.

    ... BTW, when you perform the - Weekly "Macrium - Image Backups", do you backup to a local USB cable connected External Usb Drive or wireless wifi connected to a NAS Drive ?
    I have a Verbatim 2TB external USB 3.0 drive plugged into the PC.  It's used for both my weekly image backups as well as my nightly data backups.  I have one of these on EACH machine in my environment, for backups local to that machine.  I also use them on machines I build for friends and family, as everybody needs a backup system for "priceless data".
    Actually, to be a bit more complete, my "data" backups consists of two parts: (1) 1st-of-the-month FULL backups of all my data, and (2) nightly INCREMENTAL backups which handles anything created/changed in the past 24 hours.  Thus a "backup set" consists of the beginning FULL backup coupled with the ever-growing throughout-the-month set of nightly INCREMENTAL backups.
    NovaBACKUP can handle all of this if you need to recover something, so you yourself don't need to know exactly which backup file your file is located on.  You simply identify the folder/file(s) you wish to recover, and the AS-OF date you want for that file (with "as of the latest version available" being the default).  If you want to recover an older version than the most current version, you simply slide a GUI time-slider backwards until you arrive at the as-of date you desire.  NovaBACKUP then figures out where the most current version is AS OF THE DESIRED DATE, and accesses that one-or-more backup files in order to complete your task.
    I retain multiple "backup sets" (going back 4 complete months), so I can recover any folder/file(s) I had available on any specific night during the past 4 months.  Most commonly of course it's typically "get me the most current version available as of last night", but just in case that version is corrupt or I truly want an earlier version, I can get it easily.
