Just got an iMac 400 MHz Slot loader. Slot loader does not work.

Ok, So I just bought an iMac 400 MHx G3 with AirPort Cart, 364 megs of ram, and It has OS 9.2 on it. I want to put panther on it, but the slot loading drive does not work right. It will suck in the disk, and the loader will make the "Rmm" sounds, and it spits it back out. I have took it apart, but I don't know. Can I use a try loader from my PowerMac G3? Can I get a slot load drive for a cheap price? Can I fix the current one? Thanks

Remember you must update the firmware from OS9 BEFORE attempting to install OS.

Failure to do so can leave you with a non-working computer.

  • My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. It rejects the disc. Problem after reinstall of backup from hdd.

    My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. I had a new harddrive installed in November and the MacStore installed my backups from an external harddrive. I do not use it other than to upload programs, so I have not tried using it until tax season, but it rejects the disc. The ata file indicates no dvd firmware, but the serial-ata does indicate firmware for a dvdrw. What might I do about this to bring the dvd back, least expensive to most?

    Yesterday I started having the same problem. Can read disc (play movies and music) but blank disk are ejected or idvd cannot see the blank disk. I have a almost 12 month old 27" i7 imac.

  • I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke?

    I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke does anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

    Many thanks that does work. But it now leads to another question is this simply a trackpad issue and if so will it be fixed? I use Elements every day and was thinking I would have to go back to Mavericks.

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

    You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
    Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
    Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality.  Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

  • I just got the av connections for my I phone and its not working on my tv

    ok I just bought a set of av cords at the apple store, and when I got home tried to book up my tv and its not working iv tried everything I can think of

    Your text is not clear: you wish to connect to the internet, and you cannot do that? or you want to share your internet connection, to be used by other computers, and you do not know how to do this?
    The title of your thread indicates the latter (this is the meaning of share), but your text rather indicates the former situation.
    In order to share net, you must first mac connected to the net up and running, but I understand you did not get to that point, right?
    Please be clear.

  • I just bought an Iphone4 from straight talk and my camera does not work. The shutter wont open and when it does open there is a black screen. I am very upset. I have wanted this phone for awhile and now that I have it, it does not work properly. Need help

    I just bought an Iphone 4 from straight talk. My camera does not work. The shutter does not open and when it does open there is a black screen. I am very upset. I have wanted this phone for awhile. I want the issue fixed.

    Take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar for testing, and if it is defective and under warranty they will replace.  Since you say iPhone 4, was this a used or refurbished iPhone? 

  • Need Help! Wierd loading percentage issue does not work in IE  but in other browsers it is ok, why?

    Hi!
    I have created a little test swf for my client and I have
    encountered a wierd problem because the loading percentage text
    field does not seem to function in IE 6 but the same file works
    fine when viewed in Firefox and Netscape. When I test the movie
    using simulate download in Flash it works well too. Is this a bug
    and how can be fixed?

  • On load button "over" does not work until mouse moved

    hello,
    i have a flash menu that loads from another page. when it
    loads, the users mouse pointer is over one of the buttons. (because
    they just clicked on a button on the past page in that same
    location). the button on the new page does not realize that the
    pointer is over it until the user moves the mouse slightly, then it
    switches to the "over" state. is there a way of letting flash know
    that the mouse is over the button, even though the mouse has not
    moved yet?
    thanks!

    yes, it is a button component. is there a way of letting the
    button know that the mouse is indeed over it, even though the mouse
    has not yet moved? this is a problem on IE, but works fine in
    Safari.
    thanks

  • I just upgraded to OS X 10.9.2  My mail does not work  App store is not working. Any advice?

    I just upgraded and now mail not working.  Any advice?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Loaded 7.3-does not work-restored system-does not work-missing files?

    I downloaded 7.3 and got a message that it could not upgrade the version of IPOD software found on cpu. Please uninstall and try again. Did that. Also removed all Itunes and Ipod software versions. Still got message. Decided to restore computer to before the 7.3 download. Now get error message that ITunes cannot run because files are missing. Doesn't say which ones. Any idea on how to restore old version?

    My workflow is to basically backup my negative collection by scanning at the highest resolution possible and save them at full bit depth as Tiffs on offline storage. I then duplicate all the files as large JPGs and store them on my local machine. These are then all duplicated again and down sampled to 1024*768 to be synced with the iPad. After 2 1/2 years and a 16 page file documenting all the bugs, I finally got the small files to sync with an iPad 4. After all is said and done, it only took about 7GB to sync 50K Jpgs but did end up with a 20GB "Other" file that no one from Apple can explain. I have been seeing these "Other" files for a while and think they are some sort of memory corruption and the only way to get rid of it is to restore the ipad.
    Bottom line, iTunes for Windows is terrible, very buggy, and unsupported by Apple. They can only help you trouble shoot restarting problems but there is no escalalation path for things that don't work. iTunes basically has a lot of trouble with samll number of large files and even a large number of small files.
    I have been using Lighroom to convert the Tiffs to JPGs but ran into a problem that Adobe engineers didn't know about. Lightroom will only support a maximum of 512 mega pixels and won't load any files over this size. It appears it may load them as PSDs but not as Tiffs. Problem is Lightroom won't give any error message for files it won't load so there is no way to trouble shoot it.
    What does work flawlessly is using Photoshop/Scripts/Image Processor.
    In protest of Apples apathy I took every IOS device I ever purchased back to the Apple store and challenged them to either make them work or refund them. They gave a full refund for every device I erver purchased including $299 for the original touch which came out to about $3500. I even sent a letter to Tim Cook ([email protected]) but he didn't care either.

  • HT1338 Unable to update 10.8.2 to 10.8.4 error in loading then restart does not work

    Hello, I was trying to update my iMAC to the newest 10.8.4 system by going through software update procedure. It took fifteen to download the update and then required a reboot to load. Once the reboot finished I get an message unable to update due to an error. Then when I click restart the systen freezes. I have to manually turn of and on the iMAC to get it up. The software update program still prompts me that an update is available but same deal when I go through this. Suggestions welcomed.
    Cheers

    Try updating by downloading from the Apple Downloads web page and running the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo) uipdater. This link will take you to the download page.

  • Just bought Windows 7 for my HP tablet- disaster pen does not work

    Windows 7 came out today and I saw a good review of improved pen input so I thought I would install it on my Pavilion tx 2000 which I have had running Vista Home Premium since June 2008.
    Upgrade installation succeeded, except I was told to delete the DigitalPersona fingerprint recognition (no great loss) and HP Quicklaunch Buttons (slightly annoying) for reasons of incompatibiltiy.
    All went well until I started using the pen. It functions but not is usable since when I hold the pen over the screen the mouse pointer jumps around like a mad thing and when I press to click, it usually thinks there are two clicks, with obvious problems. 
    I have done all the sensible things like so a complete HP update before I started etc - what is the problem?  Is there some driver update I need?

     The following driver fixed the pen and touch screen issues on a tx 2500.
