What are the dvds that come with mac for?

okay i am new to mac, so i bought my first mac (macbook pro) and it comes with 2 dvds and something like a cover below. what are they for??

They contain all the recovery software including an Installer for OS X, XTools for program development, DashCode for developing Widgets, iLife installer, drivers for Windows, and hardware diagnostic software.
Put them away somewhere safe in case there comes a time you may need them. It would be a good idea to make a duplicate set to use so those never risk getting damaged. You will need two dual-layer DVD-R blanks.
Duplicate a CD or DVD
1. Insert the DVD/CD;
2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select the DVD/CD icon on top);
3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk image and click Save;
5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new, blank DVD or CD.

    Dear Bob,
    You can find all the pre-requisites and details for configuring RCA from service.sap.com/diagnostics. All details are documented there.
    Mainly there are 2 tools comes with SAP for RCA (as a third party tools); wily introscope and BMC appsight. Refer the media library under the above link to get details about those tools.
    If u want to learn more about RCA, I would recommend you to go for E2E100 course. This is designed for RCA.
    Please revert in case of any concern.

  • What are the accessories that come with the ipod touch for?

    There is a white thingy and a clear thingy that looks like a clip. I have no idea what they are for

    I don't see how it clips in...
    Put the clear thingy on your desk with the hooked end pointing up with that end closest to you. You then put the edge of your iPod into the slot and let it lean back a bit. If you've done it right the iPod with stand up. If it doesn't stand up keep trying. You'll get it eventually.

  • What is the portal that comes with webcenter suite 11g?

    Hello,
    What is the portal that comes with webcenter suite 11g?
    How to retrieve the content from UCM using this portal?
    -Scott

    Scott,
    The JCR adpater can be configured against Oracle Content Server(UCM), file system and Oracle Portal. This gives you only the read feature on the repository. However the web center frame work also provides you the Document Library Task flows with both Read/Write capabilities and other capabilities like recent documents, search etc. The task flows can also customized to suit your UI requirements as well. In addition to this there is a content presenter Task flow available where Business Users can display formatted content from UCM on web center page. This is similar to the content presenter portlet available inside WLP.

  • What is the case that comes with the iPod Video?

    My Friend just got a Nano and the case that came with is is just like a little sleeve that the iPod slides into....it also has no access to any controls (hold button, Dock connector, Click whell, etc.) and cannont see the screen.. you have to take the ipod out to use it....is it that same thing for the iPod video?
    Dell   Windows XP Pro   Future owner of iPod video 30GB or 60GB (5G)

    The case that came with my 5th generation black iPod video sounds similar to the one you're describing. It is totally enclosed and the only items that I have access to are the headphone jack (top) and the hold button (also on the top). If I put the iPod into the case upside down I can have access to the usb connector. This isn't meant to be a case for use (other than turning it on and going) but I've been able to push through the case to skip songs, rewind, etc.
    So, in short, it's nothing fancy but it has done a good job of protecting my iPod against scratches.

  • What is the case that comes with the iPod?

    I'm planning on getting a 30GB iPod but, this stupid company won't say what is in the box. I know it comes with a case. I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the case or could at least give me a brief description. If anyone could, I would greatly appreciate it.
    All I know is, that this company really could care less about it's customers. I can't even contact them about this.
    Thanks Again

    the 5th gen iPod comes with a small faux leather envelope-like case, light grey in color, that has a soft cotton-like interior. it has an opening in the top and is just large enough to hold the ipod. reminds me of one of those tiny wallets that will only hold a credit card. you slide the ipod in the top. while the ipod is in its case you cannot access the click-wheel, screen etc. basically you can't see the ipod.
    if you're looking for a case that will protect the ipod while allowing you to use the interface, you will need to buy anouther one.

    Look for this line:

    you can click on examples and that should be them. It is near the top of the page.

    I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    What DVDs are this ?
    If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
    With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

  • I updated my ipod and my computer crashed during the update now the apps that come with the ipod such as the app store and itunes are not on my ipod how do i fix this

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.
