Solutions to CD-ROM problems
Problems using the CD-ROM drive
The CD-ROM drive icon does not appear on the screen.
m If you have other SCSI devices attached to your computer, make sure that
each device has a unique SCSI ID number (your CD-ROM drive has SCSI
ID 3). Refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI devices if you
need to reset SCSI ID numbers.
m If you reinstalled the CD-ROM software, make sure to restart your
computer after you reinstall the software.
m 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 in the Apple (K) menu. Click to put a
checkmark next to “Apple CD-ROM.” Then restart your computer.
You’ve just ejected a CD-ROM disc, but the computer keeps asking you to reinsert it.
m The right way to eject a CD-ROM disc is to select the CD-ROM disc icon
and choose Put Away from the File menu or drag the CD-ROM disc’s icon
to the trash. If you select the CD-ROM disc icon and choose Eject Disk
from the Special menu, the computer keeps the CD-ROM disc in its
memory and keeps asking 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. When your computer is off, restart the computer, then press the
Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the tray. Remove the
CD-ROM disc. Close the tray. Then 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.
