Imac keeps ejecting when booting up

Dont have problems with the super drive in other cases. It works fine, burns fine, copies fine, plays fine...
but everytime i need to run something from the disc doing boot up(like the leopard install disc or the vista install disc for boot camp) it just ejects them!
and when i push options button, and get to the OS selection screen, the Imac still pushes out the DVD... And when i put it back in the DVD is displayed as an efi file. I dont know what that is!
when the machine has booted up, it displays and reads and writes all the CDs and DVDs just fine, so its something doing boot up!
is it possible to change something in bios? its probably some stupid little setting i cant figure out.
My Imac is a month old. its the newest high end model. Could really use the help!

I'm experiencing the same thing on a MacBook Early 2008. I used Boot Camp to create the partition and started the process of installing Windows XP. The disc, however, is ejected on boot. Always. I've tried with 2 discs and still happens. If i boot pressing the Option key i can insert the disc and it will be recognized, but i can't boot from it. Something weird is happening.

IMac keep ejecting my 2TB external HDD but in safe boot mode it is totally fine. How to resolve the problem?

Hi,
I have WD 2 TB external HDD. It has two partitions, one I use for my time machiine backup and one for my personal files and documents. Recently the iMac keeps ejecting the external HDD as soon as it gets connected to the iMac. I tried to reboot the computer in safe boot mode (by holding down the shift key at startup) and found out that problem is not there anymore. I can access my external HDD there and it never ejects the HDD.
It seems like the HDD is fine, the problem is with the iMac. Can anybody please give any solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Thanks Allan for your reply!
It makes sence that there must be some log in /start up item which is causing this problem. I went System Preference>Users & Groups> Login items> disabled all the items there to make sure, and restarted the computer but the problem is still there
Is there any other way to stop/configure the log in items?
Thanks again!

Imac keeps freezing when using safari

my imac keeps freezing when using safari or finder
The beachball appears and I have to wait.
My safari cache is emptied, have run Disk Utility to check permissions.
Rebooted various times.
Sorted out ``the community toolbar not supported" issue and still it's happening.
Anyone any tips on what to do next??
It's a 24 inch iMac - early 2009 version
Processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

I have only been able to read your reply by going online on my phone -
I started up my iMac in safe mode on Saturday morning and reran Disk Utility , no problems.
I shut it down and re started it as normal. Whilst I was able to use my Mail and MS entourage and Safari brower,
the computer was very slow and the beachball appeared briefly each time I used a program.
On Monday , it didn't recognise one of the printers and was continually hanging.
All software is up to date and I have run Disk Utility - repair permissions again.
I shut the computer down yesterday and rebooted in Safe mode this afternoon so that I could try to look in

my imac keeps ejecting my discs, wont burn anything either

Are these CDs? DVDs? or both?
Have you tried using a different brand of disks? Some work better than others.
Does it eject all disks or only some? Only blank disks or some that have already been made? Commercial disks or burned?

My imac keeps ejecting discs and wont read them

my imac keeps ejecting discs and wont read them

I did not ask for the full serial number. Anyway, you are the 7th week of 2008, unlikely that is a PRAM battery issue.
Since your machine isn't under warranty, I'd try a CD cleaner that supports car stereos, like this one from Radio Shack online, but only if Apple Authorized service technician says it is safe:
http://www.radioshack.com/index.jsp?productId=2361963
This being a user to user forum, I can't say if it is or isn't.
Or you can buy a supported external optical drive, like the various ones from http://www.macsales.com/
Internal optical drive replacement is complicated, and possibly covered on http://www.ifixit.com/

Superdrive of Mac Pro keep ejecting when restart after about 6hrs

If I've unplugged keyboard/mouse/wacom bamboo - Superdrive never ejects when restart. I find out when I leave only the wacom baboo (latest driver installed already) plugged, somehow the superdrive keep ejecting. I've done the repair with the Mac Os X Install DVD, it resolve the problem for the day, but next day it happens again.
What could be the problem, do I need to buy a new tablet.
I never had this problem with the old G4.
I called Wacom, they never heard of this issue.
Someone out there had this problem before?
Message was edited by: happy_engeltje

Now the Superdrive doesn't eject anymore, as I have connect my tablet to the keyboard and I totally reinstall the OS.
When I use Utilities to repair OS disk, I got the following result:

Imac (intel) flickers when booting up

My iMac (intel) locked up today and I had to had to shut it down by turning off the power. Now when booting up, it begins to flicker at the top of the screen when it's supposed to show the log in area.
Really not sure what to do, any troubleshooting?

Disc keeps ejection when trying to burn audio cd

Trying to burn a playlist to audio cd and the disc keeps ejecting. Have done this with no problem before, but since upgrading itunes have this problem. Any help appreciated

I have the same exact problem trying to burn a disc with iTunes using an external CD/DVD drive. I'm also running OS 10.4.11, but on a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo Macbook with 2 GB RAM. My external drive is a Samsung SE-S084C/RSBN.
Has anyone out there found a fix?

Imac Keeps Crashing When Browsing the net (often when scrolling)

Hello,
I bought a refurished imac from Dixons about a fortnight ago. I was provided with no discs so I can't do a hardware test.
In the last few days my imac has started crashing. It has always crashed when I'm browsing the internet and usually happens when I'm scrolling. At first i thought it was Google Chrome so I switched to Safari but the same has continued to happen. The screen usually goes grey and I a message telling me to power off my imac and restart.
I keep getting a similar log to this:

As a first step I'd suspect Avast - try fully uninstalling it, you don't need it.
You could try a 'safe boot' which should boot the Mac without loading the non-Apple stuff. Test web-browsing to see if the kernel panics go away.
To Safe Boot: restart holding down the shift key until the grey progress bar appears. The Mac should boot in 'stripped down mode' allowing you to run a few tests web-browsing. Restart as normal from the Apple menu when you're done.
If the Mac came with no disks you are probably running OS X 10.7.x Lion. You can check/repair your disk by booting while holding down Command+R which takes you to Lion's recovery mode. You can run Disk Utility from there to verify/repair your disk should you ever need to.
If you feel you want some anti-virus software the one that is most often recommended on these forums as being trouble-free on Macs is the free/donationware clamXav: www.clamxav.com

Indigo iMac 500 Panics when booted from a Firewire drive

Hi all,
I have an iMac 500 Indigo and am trying to upgrade i to osx as other in this computer lab. I have been provided with a FireWire drive with a bootup of Tiger and a Panther disk image. Out of 32 computers here only three have ceaced to work. They are all the same 384 MB of RAM I have tried to a restore in FW Target Disk mode with no luck I am now trying to copy the files via classic probibly in vain. So back to the error, I see the computer in the UNIX bootup stage for a few (the grey apple with the progress indicator.) and then I get a Panic written directly to the screen over top of the graphic indicator as seen on older versions of OSX (10.0 10.01 or so)
Thanks
Sean

The firmware update is a good suggestion to check.
Here's another thing. You say you have been "provided with" an external firewire drive with Tiger on it. How was that Tiger OS installed on that firewire drive? If it was done on a computer that is not identical to your iMac, then it very well will not be able to boot your iMac. When you install Tiger or Panther or any version of Mac OS X, what is actually installed is a custom version of OS X that is tailored to the specific model of computer you are running at the time. So if the firewire drive has a Mac OS X that was installed, say from a G5, then that drive MIGHT only be able to properly boot that model of G5. It MIGHT be able to boot a G4 or a G3, but I think the odds are against that.
The reliable way to install OS X is from an OS X CD that is the commercially sold boxed version (not the installation CD that comes with a specific model of Macintosh, and not a firewire drive that has OS X from some other model of Macintosh).

SuperDrive on iMac Keeps Ejecting Discs

I've been having trouble with my early 2009 iMac's SuperDrive. Recently I'd been having trouble reinstalling a 3rd party app after ML upgrade, and the install CD was getting stuck. I did have to pop it out manually using a card to gently make it come out. Now the drive will only eject every disc I try to insert. Is the drive toast, or is there a way to koax the drive to take discs again without having to open the iMac? It's obviouosly out of AppleCare, so if I have to replace the SD, what should I get, and how much can I expect it to be to get someone to install it? This has been one **** of a computer and I want to keep everything on it running right, even with its age. I just need it to last about 2 more years, then I will be looking to upgrade. Also as an aside, will the external SuperDrive work on this kind of iMac? I know it's meant for use with the MBA and other notebooks, but I am curious if that could be an option for me in this situation. Thanks!

I can't find any specific info...
Apple reports that the slot-loading 8X "SuperDrive" with 4X double-layer burning (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) "writes DVD+R DL discs at up to 4x speed, writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed, writes DVD-RW at up to 6x and DVD+RW discs at up to 8x speed, reads DVDs at up to 8x speed, writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed, writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed, [and] reads CDs at up to 24x speed."

I think the matching the SATA speed is the most important factor.

[MSI P4MAM2-V] PC keeps reseting when booting/installing windows XP

G'day fellas.
I bought a MSI P4MAM2-V yesterday, with new ram, psu, videocard but use a previous hdd.
Now this hdd has XP already on it, so i tried booting into that with my new system. as soon as the logo for XP came up, the pc shutdown. Werid. So I try another hdd, this one was win 98, and it works fine. strange I thought. So i tried another hdd with XP on it and the same thing happened. thats 2/3 hdds that wont boot and both have XP.
Anyway I formatted the win98 disk using the ultimate bootdisk and then tried a fresh install of XP (using my 'special' xp pro disk) and it didnt work. When it gave me the option in dos to select to make a new installation or repair and old one, it shutsdown. I tried my legit XP home cd - same thing happens
I've tried different cdroms, ide cables, PSU's. ive removed the gfx card and used onboard. I've fiddled around in the bios. i've changed ram, ive run tests on my hardware using the ultimate boot cd.
I have no idea why its having a cry over XP.
any ideas?
Cheers

I can understand the pervious XP not working.
im using a 2.53ghz celery
512mb ddr400 kingston
gigabyte cdrw
I think this is my PSU: http://hardware.gamespot.com/Thermaltake-Silent-Purepower-TT-420AD-420-Watt-13045-S-16-23
I know its a thermaltake 420w, but ive spraypainted over the label. anyway atm im using a generic psu, but i did try with the TT.
these are my basic specs that im running with and a 15gb seagate hdd (the one which is now clean), a 120gb maxtor (has XP on it) and a quantam fireball 15gb with XP.
btw thanks for the quick reply
