CD unbootable won't let Imac to start

Hello evrybody,
I'm a new owner of a Imac, and I wanted to see how windows was running on this machine. So I used the Assistant Boot Camp and share my hard disk (100gigs for windows). Then the computer reboot and on a black screen I could read Device unbootable. Please insert a cd a press any key.
My problem is: How do I remove the current cd inside the Imac ?
Thanks for your help !

I had a CD get stuck in mine when it was brand new and it wouldn't eject.  Took it to the Apple Store, and as soon as he plugged it in, the disc came right out.  The Tech basically told me that if it were to ever happen again, just to unplug the machine from the power cord for about half an hour, plug it back in, then turn on the power button and hold down the eject button on the keyboard, and that will release the disc.  Hope this helps ;-)

  • ITunes won't let itself be started or reinstalled

    I've been a very happy iTunes user for months, but about a month ago iTunes stopped working on my computer (Dell 8400, running Windows XP Pro). Every time I open the program, it prompts me to choose a language to use during the installation process. If I play along like I'm installing iTunes (even though I know perfectly well it's already there), when I get to the end of the process, whether I reboot the computer or not, I only get back to the "Choose a language" screen of the install.
    When I try to uninstall, the computer tells me "A newer version of iTunes is already on your computer" and the uninstall shuts down.
    What do I do? Thanks in advance for any help.

    hi R!
    okay, let's try completely stripping out your itunes and QuickTime program files, and then doing a careful staged reinstall of QuickTime and itunes. there's instructions in this post (including what to do when your Add/Remove programs isn't functioning properly when you try to uninstall one of the programs):

  • New hard drive, won't let me use start up disk?

    Just earlier today i switched out my macbook pro's hardrive for a new 750g 7200rpm scorpio black hdd by WD. Im pretty sure i installed it correctly, trying to instal the Mac osx, i hold alt while booting up, click on the cd saying mac boot disk or what not, but i get a message saying "please restart your computer" am i doing something horribly wrong here? I need that computer for school tomorrow :/ Thanks guys.

    There is no install disc for OS X Lion 10.7.1.
    So you must be using a Snow Leopard disc.
    How old is your MBP?
    If it came with Lion (10.7.x) installed when you bought it you can not install Snow Leopard on it.
    If you have your olde drive reinstall that. Download a program to Clone the old drive to the new drive, SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Then install the new drive.

  • HT5517 I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about.

    I want to photo stream pix from my iMac to apple tv. When I try to enter the iCloud account name and password, the systems tells me that terms of service have changed and won't let me proceed. What's that about?

    You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud.  Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
    You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
    If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
    -If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • IMac 21.5 inch mid 2010 the beach ball comes out and won't let me do anything

    As soon as I login to my iMac, the beachball comes out and won't let me do anything. I can't even force quit or shut down computer.

    Insert your original install disc and start up while holding the C key. Choose your language and at the next screen instead of starting the installer go to the menu bar on top and click the Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. See if you can repair your hard drive. Also while you're in DU look towards the bottom of the window and check the SMART status of your hard drive, it needs to say verified.

    How much is "plenty of storage"? Go to Settings>General>About>Available
    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Newly installed firefox has left an blue "drive" icon on my (Mac) desktop that I cannot erase. When I click on firefox in applications, it always brings this up and won't start firefox directly. I cannot erase this "firefox" drive icon, it won't let me. E

    The icon is blue with a white firefox logo on it. My only options are to "Burn 'Firefox'" or "Eject 'Firefox'" when I click on it to edit it, but I cannot cut, paste, or move to trash. It won't let me. When I click on "Eject 'firefox'" it says "The disc firefox is in use and could not be ejected". Even when I am running no applications whatsoever.
    When I click on this icon, a small window appears with two icons in it: one the firefox browser icon, and the other the applications folder icon with an arrow inbetween the two. When I drag the icon into the application folder it tells me:
    "An item named 'firefox' already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?"
    And no matter how many times I "replace it" the icon never goes away.
    And no matter how many times I replace it, whenever I click on the firefox icon in applications, it brings up this tiny window on my desktop before it will actually start running the firefox web-browser. And it will never reload my previously saved tabs is also my main concern.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a few weeks ago since I installed...

    Maybe you copied the icon show in the window to your application and into your dock directly. Try closing your Firefox again. Eject the disc again. Then go to your application folder. You should see Firefox with a circle and cross through it. Open it. It should open without the blue icon appearing on your desktop again.

  • Windows 7 won't let me click on start orb or within open windows.

    I'm not sure how to accurately describe the symptoms. My system is having a problem where it won't let me click on things or move windows around. I can always move the cursor/arrow around the screen, and I can almost always click on desktop items to open files and programs. The most frequent symptom is that I can't click on the Start button or other items in the quick launch bar or notification area. Sometimes I can't even move the arrow into the bottom portion of the screen with these items. And frequently I can't click on any options within a window or even the shutdown options on the log-in screen. On some occasions, I can't click on the "Next" button on a dialog window that opens when booting from the Windows Repair/Recovery DVD.
    My PC an unmodified HP p6330f:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c01969881
    1. Restarting the computer will sometimes fix the problem, but usually only after multiple restarts.
    2. I ran the memtest86+ for 20 passes with no errors
    3. I ran WD's dlgdiag5.exe extended test on the HD with no errors
    4. I reinstalled the whole operating system, and then things seemed to work well for a somewhat longer period only for the problem to return again (maybe after all the latest updates?), then go away, and then come back again.
    5. In an attempt to start completely fresh, I erased my whole drive with zeros and attempted to do a completely clean re-install. The installation boot takes me to the "Install Windows" window (which asks about language and keyboard), but the bar across the top flashed blue/grey, then stayed grey, and I cannot select "Next."
