Want to boot from CD/DVD on your Macbook but don’t know how? The answer is simple!

1. Hold the “Option” key on the keyboard during start–up.
2. Using the arrow keys, select the CD/DVD Drive at the menu and select return.

Using this same method you can switch between Bootcamp and the OSX install.

1 beep = No RAM installed/detected

2 beeps = Incompatible RAM type installed (for example, EDO)

3 beeps = No RAM banks passed memory testing

4 beeps = Bad checksum for the remainder of the boot ROM

5 beeps = Bad checksum for the ROM boot block

CD/DVD stuck in your iMac? Try the options below to force it to eject.

1. Press Mouse Button at boot to force the CD/DVD to eject

If that doesn’t work, try the following below.

Hold down the C key during reboot (If the CD/DVD doesn’t have a Boot sector, the iMac will then eject your CD/DVD)

If that doesn’t work, try the following below.

1. Open up a Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
2. Type: drutil tray eject & press Return
3. Your CD/DVD should now eject.
