Hi. Yes it seems the Cube was totally opposite. It had such a strong fuzzy pad it prevented discs popping out properly. Some times you had to pull on them gently to get them out. Simon On 25 Aug 2009, at 10:28, Susan Platter wrote: I wish my Cube would do that; I frequently have to eject

I grumble a little about my Cube but I love it really and am so glad I caught it on eBay a couple of years ago. :) My main Mac is a second hand Intel iMac 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo with 3GB Ram, running 10.5.8. The Cube has a FireWire external HD as well, which I can use to start up from OS 9,

Hi everyone... I picked up a Graphite 600MHz 512MB iMac a few weeks ago and after a few days of perfection it suddenly will not start up again. There were no screen distortions, no hiccups of any kind. When I push the start button it glows, there's a bump sound (power to CRT, I imagine...) and

Hmm, can you plug in an external display and see if anything comes up on that? Can you hear the HD churning away? Have you tried booting from an external drive, or another mac in target disk mode? Or boot the iMac in target disk mode and see if it's drive is viewable from another computer?

I have a G5 iMac Intel that I could use... what adapter cord would I need to connect them, Firewire? If the G3 won't power up is any of this even possible? There is no sound from the HD, nothing but the initial bump of power... then nothing. Will the Firewire cord supply enough power for startup

I have an iMac that, up to a few weeks ago, worked perfectly. I got this iMac from my cousin, I just had to get a keyboard and mouse. I also bought an Imation super disk drive and it worked well. I put a new battery in. How do i go about getting it up and running again. All ideas will be welcome.

iMac upgrades

Hi fellow mac enthusiasts! I recently purchesed a tangerine iMac G3 233mhz at a garage sale for $10. Seemed like a good deal even though there was no peripherals or CD's. The machine boots perfect and it's loaded with lots of kids programs and runs pretty fast considering. I just added 256MB RAM

I still miss my bondi-blue IMac 233, rev B, that I used to use - set it up for a friend after I upgraded to my IMac. I also had the RAM maxed out, and I liked 8.6 better than when I upgraded to 9. I found that the with the extra RAM, my 233 would run a lot of games that it wasn't supposed to
