Install will not accept disc 2

my friend said his macbook had the blinking folder with ? on it
he tried to fix it but couldn't and decided to do an erase and install
disc 1 went fine
disc 2 is asked to be put in but just ejects
thanks

ps since he doesn't have time to get a new disc, would using a generic install disc work vs the one that came with his comp
No, the Intel/Tiger disks are all Machine specific. Leopard Retail would work if that's an option.
so how would i go about getting back to the beginning?
just turn it off by holding down the power button?
Yes
and restart while holding down c ?
Yes, or OOption key, either one, then look for Custom Install, or is it Options?

  • My cd/dvd drive will not accept discs

    Last night I was burning some music to a disc from itunes... the first disc worked fine, then on the second I received an error message and now ever since the drive will not accept a disc (I can pop it in and it makes some noise and then kicks it out) and ideas

    hftvhftv, greetings;  Not at all.  One can utilize a lens cleaning DVD, shoot some compressed air in the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eye glass cleaning cloth)  around a stiff piece of paper or thin plastic and insert it gently inside the slot.  All of these techniques have had success in the past.
    Ciao.

  • HT3964 2009 macbook pro superdrive will not load discs

    2009 Macbook pro superdrive will not accept discs. The loading mechanism appears not to be responding. The mechanism may be jammed as it will not allow the disc to be fully inserted. Last time I played a disc I had trouble ejecting it. I managed to get disc out can't remember how. Think the disc must have partially ejected and I managed to pull it out. Can anyone help?

    Hi kayj128,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps for troubleshooting the SuperDrive built in to your Macbook Pro:

    Doesn't accept discs
    Be sure to check your disc to make sure it is flat. You can check this by putting the disc upside-down on a flat surface. If the disc is bowed up on any side or in the center, do not use the disc because it might get stuck in the drive. Do not use discs that have anything attached to them or dangling from them (such as "sweeper" or cleaning discs).
    If the drive struggles when you put in a disc or stops part-way, carefully look at the disc for labels that may be interfering. If there aren't any raised labels then try putting the disc in a few more times.
    Try another disc to see if the issue is being caused by a specific disc.
    Make sure you insert the disc far enough for the drive mechanism to activate. You need to insert discs nearly all the way before the drive will activate and pull them in. If you don't completely insert a disc, the drive will reverse and push the disc back out.
    Allow the drive one or two seconds to accept the disc while it is fully inserted.
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
    If the drive repeatedly does not accept discs, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Combo Drive Problem: Not Accepting Discs

    Recently, I swapped out a broken Matshita drive.
    The new slot-loading optical drive will not accept discs.
    What confounds me is that the drive (seems to) show up in the System Profiler:
    MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124:
    Firmware Revision: DZ13
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
    Media: No
    If it is a power connection issue, would the device appear in the System Profiler?
    Anyone have a theory?
    iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    John,
    I agree with JeremyP, it sounds like your combo drive has serious problems & needs to be replaced. My guess is misaligned laser. If you live near an Apple Store, take it there to have one of the geniuses look at it. I had to have mine replaced when it rejected more DVDs than it accepted. It's refusal to accept CDs was probably not far off.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • I have the right serial number to install arabic onto Ai, but the installer will not accept the serial number

    I have the right serial number to install arabic onto Ai, but the installer will not accept the serial number

    I'm also getting the "invalid serial number", but I'm wanting to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.1.4 to take advantage of HDV 720p/24 support. Is the 5.1.4 update even an option still? I really don't want to be forced to upgrade to FCS2 and shell out $500, just to get this one feature that was included in a patch.
    I went to the Registration page and it actually allowed me to register the serial number... (which I'm pretty sure I already had), but it still won't let me in to download any updates. Also, the email confirmation that was supposed to be sent has not arrived 20+ minutes later.
    Very strange. I called Apple support and they estimated a wait time of 15 mins... ugh.
    Anyone have other suggestions?

  • Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number

    Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

  • Acrobat will not accept license code after installing cs4 premium upgrade

    We just upgraded to CS4 premium, from CS3 premium. In doing so acrobat replaced Acrobat 8 pro with Acrobat 9 pro.
    All our tools only work in Acrobat 8 pro, so we unistalled the Acrobat 9 pro and the software will not accept the keys from the product boxes that was used to install the software. the 30 day trial period comes up where you can enter a number or buy "version 9".
    Is there anything special to fix this mess that anyone has found?
    We are a printing company and use tools from enfocus, quite, and other special plugins that only support up to version 8?
    Before we totally uninstall CS4 premium we wanted to see if anyone else has had this issuse or knows who to get with at Adobe to get a key that will work for the licensed software.

  • I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial

    I am trying to re-install CS3 after having to replace my Hard drive, but it will not accept my serial #. How can I get it to allow me to continue using my software?

    If you had registered your CS3, you can get the serial number from your Adobe account when you log in through the Adobe corporate web site.  Just go to My Products to find it in your account.
    Adobe applications show you a truncated s/n to discourage software piracy.  Legitimate Adobe s/ns have 24 digits.

  • "Flash out of date" comes up, new install, and will not accept Password for install?  Next step?

    "Flash out of date" comes up, i do a new install, the log-in and password windows pops up, I type in password and it will not accept.
    I have changed password, confirmed password, rebooted several times, and it still will not re-insall new version.
    I am stuck.
    HELP!

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:
