Intel Mac :: Why Won't It Take Discs
Jun 25, 2012Whenever I place a disc in the drive it spits it out. No matter what disc. I've tried restarting but that didn't work. Just bought this 27" iMac about 2 years ago. I cost me around 2 grand with tax and some stuff the salesmen sold me to go with it like MIcrosoft office. If the drive broke after only 2 years (and I've only used it maybe 10 times in all that time) then I will prob be asking for my money back. I already know that apple will charge me out the @$$ to get it fixed if the drive is broke. I am just hoping that there is something going on software wise that can be fixed. Please help if you have any information reguarding this issue. This is a problem that is holding me back from doing work (a client sent me information via cd) So I am loosing money every day that I do not have my drive working.Â

OS X :: Lost Discs - Install Discs From The Computer
Mar 10, 2009I came home for vacation and decided to reformat my imac g5 to get a fresh start. I backed up all my files, took out my leopard retail box, and was ready to go when I opened up the box, and noticed no disc. I have no idea where it went.I have the install discs from the computer when i got it, but it only has 10.4, so id rather not use them. I have the install discs from my macbook pro with 10.5, but I am pretty sure it will not work.So does anyone have any suggestions? Should I just go ahead and install 10.4 until and then just install 10.5 when i find it? (i really hate doing this, I hate having more than one version of an os installed)

Intel Mac :: It Won't Accept Dvd Discs
Jun 8, 2012My dvd player has suddenly stopped accepting discs. The disc only goes in half way before it hits something, almost like there was a disc already in there, but there isn't.The previous disc was ejected. Restarting doesn't change anything. It may be that the disc drive itself needs to be replaced, but that would involve a lot of hassle.

Intel Mac :: 24" Can't Boot OS X Install Discs
Jun 6, 2012I have a 24" iMac (A1225). I can boot to non-Apple discs (utilities, Windows) and I can even install Windows without any problems. I can't boot to any OS X Install disc however. I have the original 10.5 discs, they don't boot. I have a 10.7 disc that does the same. It starts to boot and makes encouraging noises for a bit but eventually both discs spin down with the Apple logo and the spinning circle which stops.Â
Just for shiggles I tried to boot a couple of custom OSx86 discs (10.6.3 and 10.6.6). They both booted to the installer. 10.6.3 started installing (crashed half-way) but started to boot from the HDD after I restarted it (it didn't go anywhere of course, just the Apple logo). 10.6.6 finished installing but wouldn't boot after it restarted.Â
It seems like there's a hardware issue but the fact that I can boot non-Apple discs and even install Windows without issue makes me doubt that. I have also cleared the PRAM (Option-Command-PR) and ran a quick test in AHT (D) without issues.Â

Applications :: Rotating Images In PDF File?
May 28, 2009I've been given a PDF file from someone's iPhoto library/slideshow images (by doing a Print-PDF-Save as PDF).
The PDF file looks fine, but several of the images are rotated the wrong way. When the slideshow was presented the images were all in their correct positions, but the PDF file only shows the landscape ones right.
I've tried using the "rotate" tool in Preview, but that rotates all images, which is of course not what I want.
I was hoping Adobe Acrobat pro 9, which I also have, would allow me to rotate images individually, then resave the PDF file but I can't quite figure out how, or if it's possible at all.

Jul 30, 2008I am shooting a film using a 35mm adapter, which flips the image upside down. I'll be capturing directly to laptop. Is there any software solution (Nvidia video card) to flip the screen? Or is there capture software that can flip the image? I know you can flip in post, but we are using the Macbook Pro as a sort of makeshift video monitor, as well as capture device, to get accurate focus and to make camera work easier.

Software :: How Can Change Seven Day Rotating Backup To Copy All Files
Aug 5, 2008I am using Retrospect 6.1.126 and created a 7 day rotating backup -- on the first day's backup all the files I wanted were backed up to my external hard drive, about 80 GB. On day 2 instead of just backing up the modified files as in a normal backup, all the old files were backed up again, another 80 or so GB. On day 3 the same thing. I now have 267 GB on the external hard drive, at that rate it will be filled in another few days.ow can I change the 7 day rotating backup to copy all files on day 1 and on all subsequent days to only copy modified files as in a normal backup?

Mar 4, 2012I left my mac turned off for roughly a month. When I turned the computer on, the gray apple screen and the load bar appeared to start up the computer. Shortly into the loading process, the loading circle appeared (rotating circle seen to indicate loading in programs such as iMovie and Safari etc). The start up load bar disappeared and the load circle has now been rotating infinitely. I have tried pressing command+r and turning off the mac and turning it back on. I have plugged it into a power source. It won't let me past this gray screen. How do I get into my mac?

ITunes For Mac :: Turn Off Giant Rotating Billboard Ads When Accessing To Store
Jun 29, 2014There are several improvements to iTunes that would make it more usable on laptops (i.e. recover useful screen real estate.)Â
1) allow me to turn off the giant rotating billboard ads when accessing the iTunes store.Â
2) allow me to size or get rid of icons in the sidebar. 2b) allow me to make the sidebar much narrower than the current limits.Â
3) reduce or allow me to reduce line spacing in sidebar and all windows (i.e. I want to see more playlists (in sidebar) and more songs (in main window) without scrolling).Â
Just now switching to iTunes 11. I have to say the UI is a step backwards. I notice there are folks online that offer iTunes skins (AKA themes[sic]). I cannot find any info on how to create those on a Mac.
PowerPC :: PowerBook HD Or Logic Board Options - Rotating Loading Icon?
Jan 26, 2008I have a 17" PB, 1.33 ghz with 1.76gb ram. In September it gave signs of the hard drive failing. It would crash right after booting and then not boot at all.If I booted into target disk mode i could still access the files. I backed everything up and did many versions of trying to reformat / reinstall my OS to no avail. When Leopard came out I went through the process again to see if that might help but it didn't. Today I replaced the HD and now it still won't boot at all. It goes to the grey apple screen with the rotating loading icon and stalls. I've let it sit there for 10 minutes or more.
