Those little CDs will not work in "slot-loading" optical drives BUT they DO
work in everything else.

Every optical drive built since 1990 that has a drawer that slides out has
a special centre divot for mini-CDs.

 the chime, the apple and a small spinning circle. Jeez I hope it's not

 Any suggestions as to what I might try?
 I looked for the original install discs and just realized that none came
 with the computer. Is this the norm with the newer Imacs?
 I'm sending this on one of my old (2000) green Imac which runs Panther,

 Hello All...First time poster here...

 The other day, I picked up an old iMac G3 266 Grape. The seller of
 the machine showed me that it worked on premises, and particularly
 noted how the color of the desktop (Mac OS 9.2.2) matched the case
 color. He then proceeded to tell me that OS 9, upon installation,
 reads the codes of the computer (from ROM, I presume) and
 automatically sets the desktop to the matching color.

 Can anyone actually confirm this to be true? Or was this guy just

 Is there any other utility application that will mount a dot dmg file ?


 Have you tried downloading it again? Usually if it won't mount it is due to

 Upon restarting after the update was completed both external FireWired
 drives came back on the desktop BUT both had a small lock in the lower left

 Those two drives can not be opened because the message is that i don't have
 permission to see the contents.

 Command+I  shows that i have Custom access. When I tried to change those
 settings they revert to Custom access. I ticked on the Ignore ownership
 on this volume but still locked out.

 I really need help because the alternative at this time is to erase and

 I have tried DiskWarrior 4.2, TechToolPro 5.x, Apple'sDiskUtility by
 repairing permissions, unplugged the fire wire cable and re-plugged the
 cable, powered off and back on. No luck at all.

 Is there any Utility or a terminal command to unlock those drives ?
