Apple 9500 Series manual You can’t eject a floppy disk

You can’t eject a floppy disk

If you can’t eject a floppy disk in the usual way, try the following in order:

mHold down the x and Shift keys and press the number 1 key on your keyboard to eject a disk in the internal disk drive.

mTurn off the computer. If the disk isn’t ejected, then hold down the button on your mouse or other pointing device while you turn the computer on again.

mLocate the small hole near the disk drive’s opening, and carefully insert the end of a large straightened paper clip into it. Push gently until the disk is ejected. Do not use excessive force.

If none of these solutions work, take the computer or disk drive to your Apple-authorized service provider to have the disk removed.

You installed a CD-ROM player after you bought your computer and your computer won’t restart after you’ve copied software for your CD-ROM player to the System Folder.

mIf you attempt to install software for your CD-ROM player without using the Installer, you may not be able to restart your computer. Restart the computer with the Shift key held down (to turn off system extensions), then remove any CD-ROM software files you copied by dragging them to the Trash. Reinstall the software according to the instructions that came with the drive.

If this procedure doesn’t solve the problem, start your computer using the Disk Tools floppy disk or the CD-ROM disc containing system software that came with your computer. (For instructions on starting your computer using a floppy disk, see “Starting Up From a Floppy Disk” in the section “Initializing a Hard Disk,” later in this chapter.)
