crzdmniac Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Have you tried calling apple and explaining to them that you lost them, it is possible that you could get a copy mailed to you. Also I know I've seen torrents for macbook disks.... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56583-help/#findComment-404297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxsci(macuser) Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 apple would probably rather send you the DVDs then you download them off the internet - call them - if your still on your applecare plan it would most likely be easier...

xfsasx Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 this happened to me before i bought a used macbook and it didnt come with install dvd's you can do what i did... I installed XP without bootcamp and just ran straight XP for a couple days...downloaded leopard in xp burned to disc and installed leopard wwdc 06 (this was awhile ago as you can tell) then you can work on getting the install dvd's from torrent sites cause they are like 4.0gb and 7.6gb or something so it will take awhile thankfully a very nice person from the forum whose name i wont reveal shared them very briefly on his server and i was able to get both discs in about a day. Good Luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56583-help/#findComment-404361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasT Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi, I'm having exact the same problem. I phoned apple care and it would cost me 70 to 90euro to send me the original disks. I'm not planning on paying that, since I already payed for the macbook. So if anyone could help me out. I'm searching for the 2 install dvds for a black macbook (intel) 2ghz. Thx and grtz Tammy Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/56583-help/#findComment-411261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
