[QUOTE="djiewie, post: 902067, member: 70387"] Hi, I have an old Ibook G4 1ghz processor and 640 mb ram memory. My father wanted to use it to import his photographs. Used Iphoto for this. Inserted blanc cd-rom. Imported like 465 mb on the cd rom. (only photos, selected them in iphoto,dragged and dropped them into the cd) When they were copied, it looked like all the thumbnails were "on" eachother so i chose, view - clean up then i pressed the nuclear button to write the cd and just everything froze! couldn't use my mouse/keyboard, nothing. So i tried to restart, the system did restart and when everything was ready, the mouse nor keyboard worked. tried to eject the disc, didn't work. So i restarted pressing cmd + option + O + F i typed eject-cd , return the cd ejected, no marks of data that was written. then i typed mac-boot it tried to start up, but i took like 10 minutes, so i pressed the power button for a couple off seconds. I tried to restart but then i got the screen with the power button logo that says: "please restart you mac computer by pressing the power button" i did this but it kept on turning to that screen. so i got my install cd's, restarted while pressing C first time it failed got the screen again to restart, second time got into the installer but my mouse nor keyboard worked... is it time to throw this computer away? :[ it's just my first mac, now i have a brand new macbook pro but i don't want to throw away my first mac! you know!? :d [/QUOTE]
