Your computer won’t restart, and there may be a CD-ROM disc in the CD-ROM drive.
mYour computer may be trying to start up from a CD-ROM disc. Press the Open/Close button of your CD-ROM drive to open the tray, and remove the CD-ROM disc. Close the tray, then restart your computer.
Your CD-ROM disc is vibrating in the CD-ROM drive.
mSome CD-ROM disc labels have artwork that is noticeably thicker on one side than the other and can cause the disc’s weight to be slightly off-center. This uneven distribution of weight coupled with the high rotation speed of your CD-ROM drive can cause some discs to wobble in the drive and make your computer vibrate. The vibration damages neither the CD-ROM disc nor the computer and affects very few CD-ROM discs. If you can feel or hear that the CD-ROM disc is vibrating in the computer, you don’t need to do anything special; continue to use the CD-ROM disc as you normally would.
Note: If you use a CD-ROM disc with a removable (sticky) label, remove the label before inserting the disc.
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.
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 from the drive before you shut down your computer.
