Can't use disc warrior 4.4 with my iMac lion

I have tried pushing "c" when restarting the computer to boot from my Disc Warrior (4.4) disc but it is ignored.  When I push the "option" button on startup to boot from the disc warroir disc I get the dreaded 3 beep sound and I have to turn off the computer.  What is going on? I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

My personal experience with Disk Warrior is that the latest major release of OS X does not get burned to their DVD. Therefore, if your hardware and operating system ship post-date to the DiskWarrior boot contents, the DVD boot may not support your hardware. Alsoft attempts to make this known on their site. This is why they recommend copying DiskWarrior to a bootable, physical disk other than your boot disk.
I have an external USB drive with Lion and DiskWarrior on it. If your iMac has a SD card reader, you could build a bootable OS X SDcard with DiskWarrior installed on it. Probably want the 16GB SD[HX]C size now.

    can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • Can I use any SATA hard drive with an iMac?

    Hi, I'm a PC user from birth, and want to purchase an iMac, but the 500gb-1tb isn't enough storage for what I currently have on my PC (I have 4x 250gb hard drives, plus I'd need more room for the Mac OS). My question is, can I use any HD in the iMac, or does it have to be a "mac" hard drive? Also, can I hook up any external hd's? If this is the case, I'll buy 5-10 external enclosures for my hd's and build a custom box for them all. (Or put it in a slower PC I have, and run as a server, as I have to sell my good PC to afford a iMac)

    My iMac reports its internal HD as 'WD3200AAJS' (WesternDigital Caviar SE line),
    so it appears to be a standard form-factor HD with a standard SATA interface.

  • HT4951 Can i use a Thunder bolt display with an iMac from the mid 2009 ? Would it work if connected to a mini dvi port in a scaled down mode or is it compulsory to have a thunder bolt port ?

    I have a mid 2009 iMac that doesn't have Thunderbolt display, but has a mini-dvi port.
    Will the Thunderbolt cinema display 27" still work when connected to this mini-dvi port ?
    I thought it would be better going for a thunderbolt display monitor rather than the older version, so when i upgrade my machine in the future it stays compatible.

    No.  A TB display can only be connected to a TB source. 
    Confusing Mini DisplayPort with Thunderbolt
    As indicated in that artical a displayport device can be connected to a TB source.  But that is not your situation.

  • Can you use the same Apple ID with multiple iMac's?

    I am a teacher and I have multiple iMac's in my room and I need to be able to purchase apps one time and have them on all my computers.  Is this possible?  I know that I can do it with multiple iPad's but can I do with iMac's?

    Yes logon to each computers itunes and away you go.
    To redownload on each itunes got to the itunes store, select Purhased from the quick links section and navigate to what you want to redownload.
    If you want to do it for apps that run on the Macs not on the iPad you need to login to the Mac AppStore and login with the same apple id and download apps that work on macs

  • Can I use a USB wireless adapter with my iMac G4 Flat Panel (it has no Airport card).

    I have just salvaged an iMac G4 15-inch Flat Panel from the skip and now have it running Mac OS X Tiger 10,4. It has a 700mhz cpu, 80Gb hard drive and 512mb of Ram. No airport card is fitted so I was wondering if a USB wireless adapter could be used instead. I have a Belkin F5D8055ea USB wireless adapter fitted and the system recognises the device, this is as far as I have got as I am a complete novice on Apple/Mac machines. Anyone any ideas please?

    If the device is recognised, see if you can located your wi-fi network using Airport Utility.

  • Can I use a sata3 hard drive with a late 2009 imac

    Looks liker the hard drive in my five year old iMac is about to go belly up. Was getting hardware errors, very slow startup and Carbon Copy Cloner reported bad blocks during the backup. I want to buy a new HD at a local store and have the Apple store install it. Will they do that and can I use a SATA 3 drive with my older iMac?

    YEs you can use a SATA III drive but the Apple Store will not install it for you. Find an AASP and see if they'll install a drive for you.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

  • Can I use home sharing for AppleTV with Time Capsule and have my iMac powered off?

    I wish to be able to use AppleTV without having my iMac powered on.  Is there a way to have my iTunes library on my Time Capsule so I can use AppleTV directly from it?

    I use an external hard drive with my iMac and have an iTunes folder there (that sometimes it points to automatically, but sometimes I have to go under advanced and show the iMac to use that iTunes folder because it defaults to the internal iTunes folder on the computer).
    Make sure the external drive is powered on and mounted on the desktop before launching iTunes.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.
