How do I remove the Leopard Disk? I am new to Imac

I feel really dumb because i tried to install the new Leopard OS and now I can't install or get the disk out of the computer. Thanks Kim

It's a common problem.
Press the eject key. It's a key on the top row of keys that has a solid triangle on it with a line below.
Right click on the cd image then select eject.
Drag the disk icon to the trash can which will change to the eject symbol.
You can hold down the left mouse button when you boot up your machine.
Eject cd
Here is a web page on twelve ways to eject the cd.

There are several methods to eject a disc from the CD or DVD drive in a Power Mac G4.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88215
On a PowerPC-based Macintosh (but not an Intel-based Macintosh), you may use Open Firmware to eject a CD or DVD disc when normal methods for ejecting it have not succeeded.
Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-o-f. Enter commands:
eject cd
mac-boot

How do I remove the Hard disk from computer? I have an old iMac, model M5521 circa 2000. I need to wipe the disk clean to DOD specs before donating it.

I have an iMac Model M5521, circa 2000, which I must wipe the hard drive clean to DOD specs before donating it.
I have the DOD software on another non-apple computer. I need to remove the hard disk drive from the iMac to do this.
How do I get to the hard drive? I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help. What am I missing?
Thanks

It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.

I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

How do I repair the internal disk drive on an older iMac?

Running Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 on an older iMac. I ran Disk Utility and it found a problem requiring the internal disk to be repaired. The instructions said to boot the system using an installation CD. The only CD I have is for OSX 10.4.4 ( Tiger). I don't have one for Snow Leopard. I can access this CD and instructions on the CD, "About Apple Hardware Test" say to hold down the D key to boot into the diagnostics, or the hold down the "C" key to boot to the OS on the CD. Neither of these options work. It keep booting into Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.8) and I cannot repair the internal disk drive without running on an OS started form the CD.
I've spent a couple of hours trying to get it to boot to the Tiger installation CD. Wish I had made an install CD for Snow Leopard. Maybe that would work. Is that what I need? I really think it should boot to the Tiger CD.
I've spent lots of time in these user forums and don't see anything that helps. Any suggestions?? Having trouble with doing automatic Time Machine backups to an external disk drive and maybe it is because of the corrupted hard drive. Although the error looks quite minor from the description in Disk Utility. The system runs fine and I don't see any other problems. Just struggling with Time Machine.
This is an older iMac, 4,1 with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GBytes of SDRAM. 20 inch screen. I have a MBP sitting next to it and use them both, even though I can't update the iMac to Lion or above because of the Core Due processor. It is still a good computer and very useful.
What do I have to do to get it to boot from a CD?
Thanks for your help,

That is well worth $20. I'll pick one up tomorrow. Is there an easy way to make an installatoin CD that will also be a backup for my installation?

How do you remove the back of an early 2008 model iMac

I need to replace my hard drive but can't locate the screws to remove the back cover.

Go to OWC or MacFixit (or do a Google search) and view their videos and/or help files to see how to open up an iMac. You've got it all bassackwards.

How do you remove the Google search bar in new tab? Walk me through it in baby steps please.

I've seen a few ways of removing it. Something about a chrome folder and ccs or something. Sorry but I don't understand any of it. I thought Firefox was supposed to be super easy to customize.

Note that you can also do this with code in the userContent.css file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:newtab){
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display: none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

How do I remove Snow Leopard and reinstall Panther?

How do I remove Snow Leopard 10.6.2 from my G5 and reinstall Panther 10.3? My G5 only came with 10.3 CD and I can't start up from that. I would like to eventually get to 10.5 Leopard but don't have a CD/DVD of that either. Is there somewhere I can download the software?
I use Adobe CS3 designer software for my business. It's been crashing since I updated to Snow Leopard. I thought I could go back down in OS's but for some reason I can't start up from the 10.3 CD.
Any idea's are much appreciated.

First, You will need your original Panther install DVD to return to Panther. Before doing so, I would make a bootable clone of my Sno boot volume on an external drive for purposes of backup, possible migration, and fail-safe--even if you have a TM backup. Your only probably trouble-free way of returning to Panther is erase and install. Before you do so, check the compatibility of your hardware and software; check [here|http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/forum:start] and [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258].
Given that you have dealt with any compatibility issues, your only problem should be migrating from your clone in a way that avoids your Sno problems. In this regard, you generally can drag and drop you data files from Sno without issue (see links below--use Preferential Treatment before migrating anything and the by-hand migration guide to accomplish your migration). I would reinstall my apps by hand. I would not migrate your users or settings. The remaining issue is dealing with the remaining contents of your user folder(s).
I would acquire [Preferential Treatment|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22790] and use this app to fix the your user preferences--the items in your User/Library/Preferences folder(s). After doing so, use [this guide|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] to do the actual migration of the items in your user folder(s).
After reinstalling Panther, you will need to install Leopard. But note that upgrade disk to Leopard are difficult to find and, especially, at a reasonable price. You may need to buy a box set.
If you decide to make the move, then, in your case, I suggest that you do an upgrade install. If you do an upgrade, then, after installing, all you file, setting, users, and apps will be in their proper places, except for incompatible apps which will be archived in the Incompatible Applications folder. Upgrading is a very sound method.
I would not upgrade to Leo using any method unless, again, I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal-drive boot volume (this time a Panther clone) on it. I think that there is enough risk upgrading to Leopard that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine for an installation backup; I don't trust it enough.
If you do not like Leopard or get a bad install, then you can restore your internal back to Panther using the clone, and nothing will be lost. In doing an upgrade install, the clone is your data backup and fail-safe device. In both cases, you can clone with Disk Utility, SuperDuper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you like the idea of cloning for a backup, etc., then I would acquire one of the last two mentioned programs.

How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

Drag it to the Trash.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How do I install the Leopard OS from a clone backup?

I just bought a WD 160GB My Passport Essential (USB) external hard drive.
My goal is to partition the external hard drive so it holds the following:
1. clone of the Leopard OS disks
2. Leopard OS installed from the clone
3. Time Machine backups
I formatted the external hard drive to a HFS extended (journaled) format and created 3 partitions, each as a GUID disk.
My Macbook is intel based and came with 2 Leopard OS install disks (Macbook OS X Install Disk 1 and Macbook OS X Install Disk 2).
I was able to create a clone of the 2 install disks and restored both images onto the external hard drive partition I named "Leopard OS Disk Clone."
I rebooted my back so it boot from the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition located on my external hard drive, to test the clone out. I clicked on the "Install Mac OS and Bundled Software" file on the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition and started to install the OS on the "Leopard OS" partition on the external hard drive.
During the installation a message appeared instructing me to put the Mac OS Install Disk 2 into the mac.
My problem is Install Disk 2 is on the "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition and there is no way to tell the installer program the location of disk 2.
How do I install the Leopard OS on my external hard drive partition if both Install Disk 1 and Install Disk 2 are on my "Leopard OS Disk Clone" partition?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm no expert, but I don't think you can do that.
Everything I've done (not a whole lot) and read here says you make a bootable clone from a running system (usually your internal HD).
You can then boot directly from the clone, either by changing the Startup Disk in System Preferences, or by holding a particular key (I forget which one just now) while powering-up, to get the option of booting from any connected bootable volume found.
Hopefully one of the experts will confirm or deny (I'd like to know for sure, too!).

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

Can't boot with the Leopard disk

Hi,
I upgraded to 10.5.7 from 10.5.6 and after 2 or 3 reboots and I can't get to leopard (I only see a blue-screen that does not dissappear). I reset everything, but I still can't boot into Leopard. To make things worse, I am trying to boot from the Leopard disk to do a clean install and fix that problem, but I can't because it also gets through the blue-screen and never dissappears. How can I make the Mac to boot into Leopard disk 'cause I've been like 2 or 3 days trying to figure it out.
Also...Can I fix this using target mode and formatting the HD with another mac?
Thanks in advance.

HEy!!
Finally, after a nightmare I could succesfully restored my Mac!!!.
I was really desperate, so, after talking to a friend who knows this stuff very well, he told me that all that was left before taking it to the Apple Store was to do some maintainance with it. He told me to buy Drive Genius 2.0 and run every single maintainance tool the software had. So I did it, and magically I could boot into Leopard and reinstall the OS again1!!!!. Even I could fix some video-graphics problems that I had.
All of these because I upgraded to 10.5.7. Right now I'm running perfectly fine with 10.5.4.
Thank you guys for helping me out!!. If you have this problem you could try Drive Genius and maybe you can get out of trouble easily!!

How can I remove Snow leopard from my Mac, it crash all important programs

Please tell me how I can remove Snow Leopard from my machine & revert back to Leopard 10.5.8
Since I loaded Snow leopard, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark & Mail all quit over & over again. I never had ANY of these issues before loading snow leopard. I rely daily on the programs I listed. I am not saying once in a while, but constantly; opening the programs, exporting, placing graphics, emailing, you name it, it quits the program I am in. I keep sending apple the crash reports, but I am afraid I have reached my end. (Apple must have a folder fu;l of crashes with my email address in it by now.)
To maintain my sanity PLEASE tell me there is a way to do this without risking loosing any of my data.
I do have time machine hooked up.
Please be a life saver (sanity saver) and tell me how to get Snow Leopard off my machine!!!!!

First, Welcome to the Discussions,
Second, there is no way to successfully degrade an OS to a previous version. You would have to install anew a previous OS, thereby erasing all your data. Then you would take that version up as far as you want to go.
Of course if you've been using Time Machine you can recover to the prior system and retain your files using that.
Best of all would be to have a firewire external drive and use an app like this to make a clone on. No worries then if one wants to go back before any major changes very precisely.
