If you have never used a MacBook Pro or are new to Mac computers, read this chapter for help getting started. Important:  Read all the installation instructions (and the safety information starting on page 68) carefully before you first use your computer. If you’re an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. [. . . ] Important:  Apple recommends that you back up the data on the disk before restoring software. Apple is not responsible for any lost data. Restoring Your Computer to Its Factory Settings When you restore your computer to its factory settings, everything on your computer (your user accounts, network settings, and all of your files and folders) is deleted. Before you restore, back up any files you want to keep by copying them to another disk. Write down your network settings from Network preferences to make it easier to get connected again after reinstalling Mac OS X. 1 Make sure you’re connected to the Internet by using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. (To connect to a Wi-Fi network, follow the instructions on page 56. ) 2 In the Mac OS X Utilities pane, select Disk Utility and click Continue. 3 Select the disk in the list on the left, and then click the Erase tab. 4 Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format pop-up menu, type a name for the disk, and then click Erase. 5 After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility. 6 In the Mac OS X Utilities pane, select Reinstall Mac OS X and click Continue. 7 To reinstall Mac OS X and your applications, follow the instructions in the Mac OS X Installer. 58 Chapter 4   Problem, Meet Solution After restoring Mac OS X and your Apple applications, you can selectively restore your other data and applications from a Time Machine backup. Using Apple Hardware Test If you suspect a problem with the MacBook Pro hardware, you can use the Apple Hardware Test application to help determine if there is a problem with one of the computer’s components, such as the memory or processor. To use Apple Hardware Test: 1 Disconnect all external devices from your computer except the power adapter. If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it. 2 Restart your MacBook Pro, and press and hold the D key as it starts up. 3 When the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen appears, select the language for your location. 4 Press the Return key or click the right arrow button. 5 When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow the onscreen instructions. 6 If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the error code before pursuing support options. If Apple Hardware Test doesn’t detect a hardware failure, the problem might be software related. Chapter 4   Problem, Meet Solution 59 Problems with Your Internet Connection Your MacBook Pro has the Network Setup Assistant application to help walk you through setting up an Internet connection. Open System Preferences and click Network. Click the “Assist me” button to open Network Setup Assistant.
