Apple 8600 appendix Installing application programs

Installing application programs

Most application programs come with an installer that makes it easy to install them on your hard disk. Follow the instructions in the manuals that came with the specific programs to install them. Refer to the general instructions below for additional help on how to use the programs with the Macintosh operating system (Mac OS).

If you have a virus protection program installed, you should turn it off before you install an application program. Also, use the Extensions Manager to turn off system extensions. For more information about Extensions Manager, see “Checking Your System Extensions” in Chapter 11, “Diagnostic Techniques.”

In most cases, you’ll install an application program on your internal hard disk from a CD-ROM disc that contains the program. The illustration below shows how to insert a CD-ROM disc into your computer’s CD-ROM drive, the disc lying flat with the label side up.

Some application programs come on floppy disks. The illustration below shows how to insert a floppy disk.

Insert the floppy disk, metal end first, into the floppy disk drive of your computer.
