Reinstalling the Software That Came With Your Computer

Use the software install discs that came with your computer to reinstall Mac OS X and 
the applications that came with your computer, and to install Mac OS 9.

Apple recommends that you back up the data on your hard disk before 

restoring software. Apple is not responsible for any lost data.

To install Mac OS X and the applications that came with your computer, follow 
these steps:

Back up your essential files, if possible.

Insert the Mac OS X install disc 1 that came with your computer.

Double-click “Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software.”

Follow the onscreen instructions.

After selecting the destination disk for installation, continue following the onscreen 
instructions. Your computer may restart and ask you to insert the Mac OS X install 
disc 2.

Note:  If you want to restore Mac OS X on your computer to the original factory 
settings, click Options in the “Select a Destination” pane of the Installer, and then select 
“Erase and Install”. 

Because the “Erase and Install” option erases your destination disk, you 

should back up your essential files before installing Mac OS X and other applications.

To install just the applications that came with your computer, follow the steps below. 
Your computer must have Mac OS X already installed. 

Back up your essential files, if possible.

Insert the Mac OS X install disc 1 that came with your computer.

Double-click “Install Bundled Software Only.”

Follow the onscreen instructions.

After selecting the destination disk for installation, continue following the onscreen 
instructions. Your computer may restart and ask you to insert the Mac OS X install 
disc 2.

Note:  To install iCal, iChat AV, iMovie, iPhoto, iSync, iTunes, and Safari, follow the 
“Installing Mac OS X and Applications” instructions above.
