When I insert the disk and click install it starts, but when its about 1/4 of the way done the computer restarts and my disk spits back out. When I look to see if it installed it still says 10.5.8. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

  • My computer is running loudly and then kicks out when i insert a disk.

    There is something wrong with my computer. It cannot run the disk. Each time when i insert a disk, it is running loudly but 45 seconds later, it kicks out. I am sure the disk has no problem. http://www.bidanswer.com/Questions/QuestionInfo_10434.html

    This is not remotely a photography question.
    You need to search for the site of your computer's manufacturer.

    Chances are good that your internal optical drive has failed.
    The slot loading optical drives that Apple uses in their computers is not of high quality and their reliability varies throughout different Mac computer models.
    Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.
    Most Mac compatible drives you will only find to be purchased online.
    Here are two on Amazon.com that are cheap and Mac compatible

    Here's another source for Mac compatible optical drives. These are better quality optical drives.
    These are also tray loading drives.

    But if I insert general text, I can select chinese font.

    Flash media works only with TrueType fonts. This restriction
    applies to
    all languages, including English.

  • Satellite C650D-12C No bootable device - Insert boot disk & press any key

    Hi,
    I have a C650D that was working fine up to a week ago.
    It shut down ok, but refused to start up on the next boot.
    It comes up saying 'No bootable device -- Insert boot disk & press any key'.
    So I stuck in a bootable recovery dvd and the same thing came up, but although the dvd drive 'twitched' when I inserted the disk, it didn't seem to look at it at all when I rebooted.
    I rebooted again & pressed F12 to check the boot order. 1st is usb, then cd/dvd, lan, fdd, then hdd/ssd.
    I selected cd/dvd and after a few seconds' wait it said 'A disk read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart.
    Both the harddrive & the dvd drive show up correctly in the bios.
    I plugged in a usb dvd drive, put in a recovery cd, rebooted & it started to boot from the usb drive, but then stopped doing anything after the first bit of info came up on the screen.
    I tried several bootable cds and they all do the same. They start booting, then freeze. For example, if I put in an XP install disk I get - 'Press any key to boot from cd drive' (the usb one), then 'Setup is inspecting your hardware', then a black screen.
    I've tried changing anything that might help in the bios, SATA controller mode, for example, but nothing has any effect on the situation.
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Many thanks.
    EDIT:
    I just tried booting from the usb drive with the harddrive removed from the system and the boot process continues normally. If I try & boot from the internal dvd drive though it still fails to see any disk.........

    > I just tried booting from the usb drive with the harddrive removed from the system and the boot process continues normally. If I try & boot from the internal dvd drive though it still fails to see any disk.........
    Does this mean that if you remove the HDD you can boot from the USB flash drive, but you cannot boot from CD/DVD drive even if the HDD is removed?
    It sounds really strange but I think this would mean that either the SATA controller on the motherboard is faulty and therefore its not possible to boot from HDD or CD/DVD drive. Or it could be also possible that HDD and ODD malfunctions. But it would be really strange that both devices would start to malfunction at the same time
    So possibly the second idea is not true however, this would mean that something happened to the motherboard.
    But try this: access the BIOS pressing F2 at the beginning. Now set it to default settings pressing F9 and then save the changes pressing F10.
    Now try to boot again using an Recovery disk

    I am using CS3 and trying to insert a .flv file that is on a

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    When you insert flash into DW pages, DW creates a folder for
    you in the root
    called Scripts with the AC_RunActiveContent.js file in it.
    This JavaScript
    enables ActiveX content to run without sending up nag alerts
    to visitors.
    Since your web page is looking for this file, you need to
    upload the Scripts
    folder to your server.

  • HT203176 when i insert a software disc into my mac it will not run, how do i get it to run? thanks

    Please help - when I insert a software disc into my mac it will not run, how do I get it to.
    Thanks

    Then as Kenichi Watanabe has already advised...
    The software disc should appear on the Desktop (or in the sidebar of a Finder window). 
    Double-click the disc icon (or select it in the sidebar). 
    On the disc, there should is often an Installer, or the application itself.
