Apple 6360 manual Troubleshooting

mThe disk may have been formatted for use on another kind of computer. You may be able to use a program that lets you work with such disks on your Macintosh.

If you are trying unsuccessfully to use a DOS floppy disk, consider the following:

mWhen formatting floppy disks on a DOS computer for use in a Macintosh, you need to format standard double-sided disks as 720K disks and high- density disks as 1440K disks. Double-sided disks formatted in 1440K format and high-density disks formatted in 720K format may not work in a Macintosh.

If you think your DOS floppy disk might have a format that doesn’t work in a Macintosh, use a DOS computer to copy the contents of the disk onto a properly formatted disk.

mMake sure the PC Exchange control panel is in the Control Panels folder (in the Apple [K] menu) and that it is enabled. To enable PC Exchange, open the Extensions Manager control panel and click the PC Exchange item (under the Control Panels heading) to make a checkmark appear. Then restart your computer.

Your computer starts up and you see large folder-shaped areas containing labeled pictorial buttons, instead of the usual Macintosh desktop.

mYour computer may have started up from a CD-ROM disc containing At Ease, an alternative to the Macintosh desktop. You need to have the Macintosh desktop on your screen before you can use any of the software installation instructions in this manual.

To return to the Macintosh desktop, choose Shut Down from the Special menu. After your computer has shut down, restart it and then immediately press the Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the tray. Remove the CD-ROM disc and gently close the tray. Your computer finishes starting up.

Note: To avoid having the computer start up from a CD-ROM disc, remember to remove any disc in the drive before you shut down your computer.
