Application programs
Your computer comes with application programs to play QuickTime videos, to
play audio CDs in your CD-ROM drive, and to open HyperCard stacks. It also
includes Internet access programs such as the Apple Internet Connection Kit.
To see what’s available, look on your hard disk and on the CD-ROM disc that
came with your computer. Some of the programs are preinstalled, while
others must be installed before you can use them. To install one of these
items, look for an Installer icon for the program. Double-click the Installer
and follow the instructions that appear.
If you have questions about using an application program, refer to the Read
Me file for the program, which is usually found inside the program’s folder.
Some programs also have online help that you can access after you have
installed the program. Look for online help in the Guide (h) menu after you
start the program.
For more information about the Apple Internet Connection Kit, see
Chapter 6, “Using an Online Service or the Internet.”
Backing up your files

damage to the originals.

floppy disks.

of the same capacity or larger, or by copying it to a hard disk.
m You can use a commercial backup program to copy new and changed files
from a hard disk to another hard disk, a tape drive, a series of floppy disks,
or to another form of removable media.
m If your computer is on a network, you may be able to back up files by
copying them to a shared disk on the network.
