I Deleted My Dictionary On My Macbook Pro

Is there anyway i can get it back?, i don't have the Disc, is there any way i can download it, i even send it through a Zipped file?
 
Pop in the 10.5 DVD, and under Optional Installers, run the .pkg file. You can re-add any app that came with your Mac.

But what I mean is if you have a friend who has a retail copy, that should work. I'm not sure how easy it is to do though, since Dictionary isn't meant to be installed by itself. I've never done it.

From the original disc, it's a piece of cake. Use the Optinal Installer app, you can reinstall Mail, Dictionary, etc with a couple of clicks.

I have no idea if it works with the retail discs though. I would assume it would since Dictionary comes with every release.

nope, everyone i know haves a PC, But i also have deleted system preference, iphoto, photobooth & i gotten it back from a guy who sent it through a zipped file & i was wondering if i can get the dictionary back through a zipped file as well...
 
Sorry, I'm not zipping up parts of a copyrighted OS to ship across the Internet. How do you go about deleting those items anyway? I could understand if they were close to each other in Finder.

Damn dude, you've gotta stop trashing these things! Anyway, I'm not sure about the legality of sending it to you zipped (even though it's probably fine), but hopefully for you, someone here will be comfortable sending it.
