If you can’t eject a floppy disk

If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, try the following in order:

m Hold down the x and Shift keys and press the number 1 key on your

keyboard to eject a disk in the internal disk drive.

m Turn off the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, then hold down the button

on your mouse or other pointing device while you turn the computer on
again.

m Locate the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and carefully insert the

end of a large straightened paper clip into it. Push gently until the disk is
ejected. Do not use excessive force.

If nothing works, take the computer or disk drive to your Apple-authorized
service provider to have the disk removed.

Handling compact discs

Keep these important safety instructions in mind as you use compact discs
(such as CD-ROM discs, audio CDs, and Photo CDs):

m Hold a disc by the edges or by one edge and the center hole. Do not touch

the disc surface.

m To clean discs, wipe the shiny surface with a soft damp cloth, working in

straight lines from center to edge. Do not use any form of cleaning agent.
