Other Problems

For a problem with software from a manufacturer other than Apple, contact the manufacturer. Software manufacturers often provide software updates on their website.

You can check for and install the latest Apple software using the Software Update pane of System Preferences. Your iMac is set to check automatically once a week, but you can set it to check daily or monthly. You can also check for updates manually. For more information, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “software update.”

If you have trouble inserting a disc

ÂUsing a continuous motion, push the disc into the drive until your fingers touch the edge of your iMac.

ÂUse only a standard-size disc.

If you have trouble ejecting a disc

ÂQuit any applications that may be using the disc, and then press the Media Eject (C) key on your keyboard.

ÂOpen a Finder window and click the eject icon next to the disc icon in the sidebar, or drag the disc icon from the desktop to the Trash.

ÂLog out from your user account by choosing Apple menu > Log Out “User”

(your account name appears in the menu), and then press the Media Eject (C) key on your keyboard.

ÂRestart your iMac while holding down the mouse button.
