Mini CD ... will it run on an iMac G5

My brother sent me a mini-CD, a "pocket" CD. He thought it would run on my iMac G5. I put it in and no icon appeared. Pressing eject didn't eject it either. Had to restart and hold eject to get it out.
Does anyone know if the smaller, mini CDs are supposed to run on iMac G5s?
Thanks

Hi ccCarol,
Never load a mini CD into a slot-loading drive, it might damage the drive. See Using nonstandard discs in optical drives.

  • Compaq Mini 700 will neither run from, nor charge the battery

    Netbook will only run from mains charger.
    Original battery flat, battery icon has a red cross through it.
    I tried a n new battery which is recognised as 56% charged.
    No charge light and no "charging" message. Netbook shuts down when the charger lead is removed.
    I have replaced the power socket as the connections looked suspect, but still no joy.
    Any suggestions?
    model 702EA  Windows XP

    OK, I guess I'm  having the same problem... When the "Mini" was purchased, everything worked fine. I normally leave the "Mini" with the AC adapter plugged in on my desk. The little light by the plug on the computer is illuminated, so I'm supposing that the unit is charging. However, when I unplug  the unit from the adapter, the computer shuts off, and it will not turn back on unless it is plugged into the adapter (so much for portability)... Any suggestions??

  • G5 iMac will not run programs

    Hello again Guys, I'm back......  Just a quick note, Thanks to all who have offered me advice over my past issues.  I have a new one for you.  I recently picked up a G5 20 inch iMac  1.8 PPC  1.5 ram (gonna go pick up another gig today.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  I actually really like this thing.  Anyways, when I picked it up, it was supposed to have 10.5.8 on it and it only has 10.4.11  No real biggie just need to get a hold of a 10.5 disc.  Anyways, here is the issue.  Programs will not open.  If it is a preinstalled program, it runs fine.  If it is a program that I have downloaded, it will not run.  Case in point, I use FILEZILLA ALOT.  I downloaded the PPC version, go to open it, and the icon pops up in the dock, then closes with nothing else.  No crash report, no bug no nothing.  Pops up in the dock then disappears.  Does this with any program that I download.  I already repaired permissions to no avail.....  any ideas?
    Thanks far in advance

    You can first try running Disk Utility and using Repair Disk Permissions (on the First Aid tab).
    Since that iMac came with the system already installed and an existing user account, I would create a new admin user account (in System Preferences Accounts pane).  Make sure it is administrator, not standard.  Log out and log in to the new account.  Try the same thing in that account to see if the problem recurs.
    When you get your Leopard installation disc, I would erase the internal drive and install a clean system.  Whether the above helps or not (with the current system), a brand new system should resolve the problem.

  • 12-month old iMac running Mavericks will not run Yosemite

    I have an iMac 21.5", bought new in September 2013 and currently running Mavericks with no problem. The OS is on the internal Mac HDD while Time Machine is on an external HDD. Previous OS updates have installed OK.
    Yosemite however will not run. After installation I can log in with no problem and all seems well -- the first time.  All attempts to log in after the first produce the Apple logo and progress bar, but the bar advances only about one third of the way and hangs up, even when left for an hour or more. Nothing at all can move it -- all I can do is reboot by powering off/on. No login appears, just -- the logo and progress bar, which starts to run then stops as before.
    If I reinstall Yosemite then I get one login as before, followed by the same failure -- I have now re-installed three times.
    I have tried rolling back to earlier (pre-Mavericks) OS versions on Time Machine before installing Yosemite -- same result.
    Right now I am back on the previous Mavericks.  All is OK and I can live without Yosemite, but I am becoming concerned for future-proofing my apps. Newer versions, for Yosemite, are not going to run.
    Any help would be appreciated please.
    Best wishes to all.

    Sadly it did not last. Yesterday it again froze on login and this time Safe Boot got me nowhere.
    No doubt if I carry on experimenting I can sort it out,  but I can longer justify the long breaks from my work. I have rolled back via Time Machine to my last Mavericks-based save, and there it stays until someone at Apple gets to grips with Yosemite. Or replaces it, which I expect won't be long . . .
    It just is not good enough to tell the consumer that  they must accept bugs with a new release, or that it's all their own, or their system's fault  or that they should get help from a support forum -- any clerk should be able to sit down and just use it. If a machine was running OK with an existing OS,  then it should seamlessly switch to the new without calling for a Masters in IT to figure it out. No ifs or buts. We pay  a premium price for a Mac and deserve better than this from Apple.
    From my standpoint, Yosemite is without doubt the worst beast of an OS -- from any source -- that it has ever been my misfortune to encounter. This is my third Mac over the years, and at this rate it's my last -- for all Microsoft's failings, I have never encountered anything like this with Windows.

  • After an upgrade from Power mac G5 to iMac and PS will not run... Error - 150:30.  Seems to be a Licensing issue.  Any ideas? Works fine on the old Powermac...

    Delighted with the new iMac but I have had an old version of CS4 for years now and it will not run on the new machine.  I have tried Adobe customer care chat but it seems that nobody is available right now.  Can anyone help?

    I cannot locate the Flexnet folder by the way.... and the License recovery tool tells me that ....
    You can’t open the application “LicenseRecoveryLauncher” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    Where do I go from here please?

    I deactivated Photoshop CC on my Mac Mini and downloaded PS CC on my MacBook 1.1. I didn't realize the program will not run on MB 1.1. I uninstalled the app on the MacBook. I tried to reactivate on my Mac Mini and it tells me I already have the program loaded on two computers. How do I solve the problem?

    The activation server shows that it is now activated on two computer, it has been deactivated once .
    When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
    Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
    Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
    You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

  • What kind of problems will I run into if I buy a used Mini hat can run only 10.6? Will some basic programs be no supported in the near future - similar to what happened with PPCs/10.5.8?

    If i buy a used Mac Mini that can only run 10.6.8, will I immediately run into issues related to apps that are no longer supported on an older OS? I don't want to experience the same thing that happened with PPCs and 10.8.5.
    Thanks

    I run an older Flash version, mind you one that is hacked slightly.  I only view perhaps 15 min. of Youtube per week so I don't have a huge sample but I haven't encountered any real issues with my older version.  Sure, YouTube warns me about using an older version but it seems to work.  What doesn't work is my computer speed.  No, not so much that but if I view a video in my browser it does not play smoothly.  It works fine if I download it to my computer and then view it with VLC or Niceplayer outside the browser.  When viewing things on YouTube I let them play in the browser, then if it's somethign I really, really want to see in nice presentation I download it and play it outside the browser.  This all works even on my pretty old G4.
    Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862 - this gets FP to tell web sites you are running a newer version than you really are. This gets around web sites that don't really need a new version but think they know best. If they really do require it then this hack doesn't work.

  • IMac will not run Pro Tools 9 - Some will not run CS5.5 Production Premium and some will?

    So i have 6 imacs in my computer lab at this time - I recently created a new image for all of our lab computers using snow leopard OS, Pro Tools 9.0, and Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium - this image works fine on our MacPro's and Pro Tools has no problems opening or CS5.5, but when I imaged the same image onto the imacs - CS5.5 only works on two of the machines and Pro Tools 9.0 will not open on any imac ( i keep getting the message "Can not find playback device: I thought you didnt need one for Pro Tools 9?) and i cant figure out why.  The imacs that have problems with CS5.5 and Pro Tools are the 20" early 2006 versions, and the imacs that run CS5.5 but not Pro Tools are 20" late 2006 versions.  Are they just too old?  Why would it let me image on the late 2006 version of imac but not the early 2006?  Do i need to create an image on the imac itself and then farm it out to the others?
    Thanks for your comments,
    Kyle

    I know this is a very late answer for you, but it may help others out.
    Try holding down the "N" key on your keyboard while loading the Pro Tools application.
    This will eventually open up a dialog box with a drop down menu for selecting your interface.
    In the case where you're not using an interface (like the lab), within this dialog box, just select Built-in Output and plug in your headphones in the back of the iMac.
    I'm running several rooms with iMacs and PTLE 9.0.6 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this is the only hiccup I've run into. Hopefully, holding down the "N" key works for you.
