MacBook Air reinstallation and hopefully Time Capsule transfer

September 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Geek

OK, so I’ve completely wiped my MacBook Air, time to rebuild it. Here is a list of things that have to happen. Sure sounds Windows like doesn’t it :-)

  1. Remote install Mac OS X. Sigh. This is going to take 4 hours over the air apparently
  2. Try the Time Capsule recovery which comes during the standard installation, it asks if you want to restore from Time Capsule
  3. Run Settings/Software Update to get me to 10.5.5.
  4. Install Microsoft Office 2004
  5. Install PDFPen
  6. Install Quickeys (or a good time to get F2 and F4 working with other stuff)
  7. Copy over my Music
  8. Make Mac Mail work with my email accounts
  9. Make Entourage work with our Exchange server
