My macbook pro didnt come with an install disk?

my macbook pro 15inch did not come with an install disk? what should i do?

Macs which come with 10.7 preinstalled don't include install disks. Everything you need is either on Lion's recovery drive or the web.

  • Does macbook pro 13 come with an installation disk?

    i just got it from amazon
    but there is not operating system disk
    does it come with an installation disk?

    Depends on the Mac OS X version...if it is Lion, 10.7.2, no there is not an included install disk, there is a recovery partition containing a copy of the Mac OS X on the hard drive.
    If it has Snow Leopard, 10.6, yes there should be an install disk.

  • Macbook pro didnt come with CD

    i have the OS X 10.8.3 version. Was it supposed to come with a CD? my box only had the laptop, charger etc, a little cloth n booklet thing. I want to reinstall garageband because it seems there are a ton of instruments missing. my only problem is, will i be able to reinstall GB after uninstalling it? also how can i uninstall it? thanks

    Nope. No optical discs have been included with new Macs for over a year and a half. They are no longer necessary.
    You can reinstall the version of OS X that shipped with your Mac as often as you want, even if you replace its hard disk with a completely empty one. Whatever you purchased from the App Store, including GarageBand, can also be reinstalled as often as you want, and on as many Macs as you own.
    To uninstall anything you purchased from the App Store, drag its icon from the Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
    To reinstall anything you purchased from the App Store, click the Purchases icon in the App Store, and download it.

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch didn't come with an install disk?

    I opened up my MacBook Pro today as a christmas present. All was going well, until I wanted to do Boot Camp. Well, since the Windows support software download always starts to hang, (My internet isn't slow) I can't get the drivers installed. Windows is installed perfectly, however. I'm just really curious on why it didn't come with an Install disk.

    If you're completely computer savvy, here you go:

    You should also make yourself a USB recovery assistant first.

  • Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6?

    Well its been a long time visiting the discussions for me, just after the new format, and I still hate it and it does seem painfully slow, but have a question. Now to figure out How to Post it.
    Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6 ? Hate losing Rosetta. Whoops, search came up with this.
    Actually you can, at this time, downgrade the new MBPs to SL if you have the correct version od SL. You need at least 10.6.7 for it to work on the current run of MBPs. Once they come out with a newer, 2012, MBPs I have no idea if SL could be installed.
    Guess I better hurry.
    Anyone disagree? It use to be you would get a msg saying No. But from looking I see some places in the states selling them with 10.6 installed and a free upgrade to 10.7. Not that option here.
    So where is that enter key to post

    Then what is this?
    MBP Model 8.2 i7 2.2 SMC version 1.69f3.
    Really I don't lie and I am getting tired of people calling me a lier.
    Thanks.
    I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

  • Macbook Pro (Oct11) - Where's the install disk?

    Does the new Macbook Pro (Oct '11) come with an install disk? My DVD envelope is empty.

    Lion does not come with an install disk. If you need physical media for backup, you can buy Lion in an flash for $69 from an Apple Store. I do not reccommend doing so however, since the hidden Lion recover partition is good for that as well. Just hit cmd+R during startup or Alt and select "Recovery HD" to boot from. Then you may choose from a variety of options to recover.
    If you want to install Windows, however, his is no replacement. You need a Snow Leopard install DVD. Apple still sells it for $29, if I'm not mistaken.

  • My macbook air didnt come with ilife

    i got a used macbook air from amazon and it didnt come with ilife

    Hi,
    If you can't get a hold of the instal discs, you can purchase and  install the "components" of iLife through the Mac App Store if the MacBookAir is running Snow Leopard. (iMovie iPhoto and GarageBand)
    Click the Apple logo top left in your screen then click: About This Mac. If it has Snow Leopard installed it will say: Version: 10.6
    If that is the case, the App Store.app should be installed in the Applications folder.

  • Any idea when the MacBook Pro will come with the new OSX Lion?

    Does anyone have a clue as to when the MacBook Pro will come installed with the new OSX Lion?  In the market for a new Mac laptop but would prefer waiting for the Pro to come with the new system alreayd installed.
    Thanks

    If you order on-line it will ship with Lion.
    Local retail stores vary according to their inventory, more than likely the have Lion ready MBP.  Call and ask.

  • Does the latest macbook pro 13 come with snow leopard already installed?

    ?

    A new MacBook Pro from the Apple store or online Apple.com will most likely have Lion 10.7 installed.

  • Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

    No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now.  For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.

  • Do all Macbook Pro computers come with HDCP components?

    On my laptop, when I attempt to purchase an HD movie, it says that I cannot, because I do not have HDCP components. I've been in the market for a new computer for a while -- my trackpad is practically broken, two of my USB ports do not function, and the computer simply will not charge, so I have to keep it plugged in at all times for it to be functional. I am not very fond of the Macbook Air (not enough space) or the iMac (much too large) and, thus, have narrowed my Apple-related choices down to the Macbook Pro.
    I was wondering if all Macbook Pro computers (including the Retina display computers) come with HDCP components, because I only plan on purchasing one if I'll be able to purchase and play HD movies from the iTunes store.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    "A display that supports HDCP with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 or higher."
    But how do I know if the screen supports HDCP? Or is it saying that all computer screens with a resolution of 1280 x 800 or higher support it?

  • Does New MacBook Pro 15" Come With 2 Operating Systems?

    I apologize for my ignorance, I haven't used a Mac in some time and my knowledge of computers is very limited.
    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 15" model and it came with 3 disks. Besides the "Applications Install DVD", one of the other disks says "Mac OS Install DVD" and the other one says "Mac OS X Snow Leopard".
    Am I to believe that this laptop came with 2 operating systems, or two versions of the same system, and if so, why?
    I'm thinking Snow Leopard is the latest version and if that's the case, why would they even include the other one?
    I'm so confused, lol.
    Thanks so much in advance and again, please pardon my ignorance.

    I did some research and I guess when I need it, I'll be asked to download it.
    Is this right?
    yes.
    One more question, please. Can I give the Snow Leopard disk to my daughter to install on her Mac, or is that taboo?
    if you bought a regular SL DVd then this is not allowed. you can buy a family pack and use it on up to 5 computers in the same household.
    Thanks again you guys.

  • Macbook Pro to come with OS X Lion in July

    I purchased the macbook pro today and I hear that the os x lion will come out in july.
    In july will the pro's come preinstalled with lion?
    Since I purchased mine recently would I be able to upgrade for free?
    Or do all users have to pay for the lion upgrade - including new customers.
    I'm asking this because I think I'll just return the pro and wait for lion to come out next month if it comes preinstalled - save myself $30.

    Every Apple international website followed by /macosx/uptodate/ in the link, offers the special upgrade pricing to Lion that is for purchased machines after Lion's announcement at WWDC in June.  Below are a couple examples of said link
