Reinstalling the Software That Came with Your MacBook
You can use the software installation discs that came with your computer to reinstall
Mac OS X and any applications that came with your computer.

restoring software. Apple is not responsible for any lost data.
Installing Mac OS X and Applications

essential files before installing Mac OS X and other applications.
2 Make sure your power adapter is connected and plugged in.
3 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 that came with your computer.
4 Double-click Install Mac OS X and Bundled Software. To install only the applications
that came with your computer, double-click Install Bundled Software Only.
Note: To install iCal, iChat AV, iSync, iTunes, Safari, and the iLife ’08 applications,
