Make sure that the Apple CD-ROM extension is turned on in the
Extensions Manager control panel. Open the Extensions Manager control
panel in the Control Panels folder, available in the Apple (K) menu. Click
to put a checkmark next to “Apple CD-ROM.” Then restart your computer.

m

If you installed a CD-ROM drive after you bought your computer, make
sure the CD-ROM software that came with the drive is installed. See the
manual that came with the CD-ROM drive for software installation
instructions. (The CD-ROM software is already installed on Macintosh
computers that come with CD-ROM drives.)

You’ve just ejected a CD, but the computer keeps asking you to reinsert it.

m

The right way to eject a CD-ROM disc is either to select the CD-ROM disc
and choose Put Away from the File menu or to drag the CD-ROM disc’s
icon to the trash. If you select the CD-ROM disc and choose Eject Disk
from the Special menu, the computer keeps the CD-ROM disc in its
memory and continually asks you to reinsert it. Reinsert the CD-ROM
disc, then drag its icon to the Trash. (You won’t lose information on the
CD-ROM disc by dragging its icon to the Trash.)

Your computer starts up and you see large folder-shaped areas, containing labeled

pictorial buttons, instead of the usual Macintosh desktop.

m

Your computer may have started up from a CD-ROM disc containing
At Ease, an alternative to the Macintosh desktop. You need to have the
Macintosh desktop on your screen before you can use any of the software
installation instructions in this manual.

To return to the Macintosh desktop, choose Shut Down from the Special
menu. After your computer has shut down, restart it. Then press the
Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the tray. Remove the
CD-ROM disc, close the tray, and start up your computer again.

To avoid having the computer start up from a CD-ROM disc, remember to
remove any disc in the drive before you shut down your computer.
