Can't insert a disc in my imac 11,3 inter core i7
was burning dvds and after successfully completing one - I suddenly was unable to burn the next - I can't insert the disc - it just gets stuck halfway and the computer won't "grab" it. I've tried rebooting, software updates, different discs etc but nothing is working. Thanks for the help.
Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

how can I operate multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 using Lion and have each display function independently?
Below are some converters/adapters to look at. If these look like they may work:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
Matrox DualHead2Go D2G-A2D-IF (or look here)
These should allow you to run multiple displays in extended display mode. Note that these use HDMI as an output so you would need some additional adapter to conver HDMI to whatever your displays require. Of course these suggestions are all academic if such an adapter doesn't exist.
Update:
I just reread your last post and I am confused. Is it only your TV that you are trying to run in extended display mode? I thought you wanted more than two displays. If only the TV it should just work if you are not using mirrored displays. Your Displays Arrangement tab should show both your main screen (one with the little whith menu bar) and the TV. Set the proper resolution and refresh rate for the TV using it's Displays preference window. That is all you need to basically do (ignoring overscan/underscan problems).
Note, if you are using Lion then I have heard that when using full screen mode in Lion additional screens show nothing. -

Can't use Target Disc Mode with Imac Indigo? help
So after holding off on buying a new imac for over 5 years I decide to pick one up. I restarted the intel imac in target disc mode. After doing that. My old imac gives me a message saying it can't read the contents of the hard disc connected through the firewire.
This older imac doesn't even have an option for target disc mode. It has Panther OSX. Do both computers have to have the same operating system? Are there any other options out there. I just want to get the 7 gigs of music off my old imac and onto the new intel imac.Depending on which indigo you have, some didn't even have FW ports. The slot loading ones did, and according to Apple, with firmware 2.4 you can use FW Target mode. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583)
Another option is to connect the systems with FW but configure IP over FW and then enable sharing on the indigo and connect to it. -

Is RAM and OS for iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo upgradeable?
Can the RAM and OS for a iMac 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM, 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, MAC OS X 10.6.8 be upgraded? Looking to upgrade to 4 GB RAM and OS X 10.8. Please advise. Thanks.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course you can upgrade RAM. You have a Late 2006 iMac, which supports 4 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_2006
This Mac can't be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion because OS X Mountain Lion needs a Mid 2007 or newer iMac. Instead, you can upgrade to OS X Lion by calling Apple > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com -
i am unsure on how to insert a disc into the new imac.
You need to purchase an external, third party FireWire/Thunderbolt or USB 2.0/3.0 optical drive or
You can purchase a companion drive direct from Apple for $79.
Third party drives will be cheaper. -
I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac. I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC. How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?
I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
working:
td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
$row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
$_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register

Can't insert a CD/DVD into the disc drive. Recently installed a new 1 tb hard drive, and the CD/DVD drive hardware is no longer recognized. Also, with new hard drive, OS was updated from Snow Leopard to Mt. Lion 10.8.5 on late 2007 MBP (2.2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo. 4 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM)
Also, when I check out the hardware list, under Disc Burning - the following is reported: No disc burning device was found. If the device is external, make sure it’s connected and turned on.
The disc drive worked fine prior to the HD upgrade and OS update to Mt. Lion. -
Can you use a start up disc on an iMac without formatting the hard drive?
Can you use a start up disc on an iMac without formatting the hard drive?
Yes, because the startup disk is read from the boot rom, not the Hard Disk.

I own PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro. Can I use the disc to install it on new iMac?
Have PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro. Can I use the discs to install it on my new iMac? also considering PSE 11 and Lightroom 4. Comments?
Yes you can install it on your new Macintosh. If it does not have an optical drive then you can copy the contents of the installation media to a USB drive and then install the software from there.

After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.
reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

I just upgraded OS from 10.4.1 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I tried to open Reason 4 it asks for me to insert a disc and prompts me to enter my ID for permission. What can I do?
First off, you can't have upgraded from 10.4.1, as that won't run on a MacBook. 10.4.4 is minimum. 10.4.10, and 10.4.11 are different from 10.4.1.
Secondly, it appears Reason 4.0.1 is needed for 10.6:

There may be other upgrades on:

Check with the developers in question if they are aware of any bugs in the upgrade process.
