This file includes important information about Apple CD-ROM version 5.3.2, software that lets you use an Apple CD-ROM drive with your Macintosh computer. You need system software version 7.1 or later of the Macintosh Operating System (Mac OS) to use this software. Because this information is not included in the documentation accompanying the product, you may want to print it. To do so, choose Print from the File menu.
Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT The full instructions below assume you have an Apple CD-ROM installation disk. If, instead, you’re downloading the Apple CD-ROM software from an online service, follow step 1, below. Next, copy the software onto your hard disk and double-click the Installer icon to start the Installer. Then follow steps 5 through 9.
To install this extension, follow these steps:
1. While holding down the Shift key, choose Restart from the Special menu and continue to hold the key down until you see a message. When a message on the screen tells you that the extensions are off, release the Shift key.
When you restart the Macintosh after you install Apple CD-ROM version 5.3.2, the extensions will turn on again.
2. Make sure the Apple CD-ROM installation disk is locked.
3. Insert the Apple CD-ROM installation disk into a disk drive.
If you can’t see the Installer icon, double-click the disk icon to open it.
4. To start the Installer program, double-click its icon.
5. In the Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue.
After a moment, the Install dialog box appears.
IMPORTANT When you started the Installer, it checked to make sure you have what you need to use the software. If you’re missing anything, you’ll now see a message that tells you what you need. You won’t be able to install the software until you correct the problem. If a dialog box says you don’t have the correct system software, you can purchase a new version of system software from an Apple-authorized dealer.
6. Make sure the disk named in the Destination Disk box is the one on which you want to install the software. If it’s not, click Switch Disk until the correct disk name appears.
7. Click the Install button.
The Installer takes a few moments to calculate what needs to be done and then begins to install files.
8. Follow the instructions on the screen until the installation is complete.
9. When you see a message reporting that installation was successful, click Restart to restart your Macintosh.
The Apple CD-ROM software is now installed on the hard disk.
