I've got my SIL's iMacDV 400. It crashes on start up with a
(Sorry, system error occured. "Time Synchronizer" error type 41).
She recently moved from her old residence and lost her original discs. I
borrowed a set of discs from a friend that has an iMacDVSE 400. I can't get
it to start up off of the Software Install disc while holding down the "C"
key or while holding down command, option, shift, delete keys. While
holding the last combo down I get a flashing ? mark on a folder like it's
looking for a System Folder. If I just start it up with extensions off,
while holding the spacebar, I get the extension manager I chose OS9.0.4 All
but it still crashes. One other thing one of her brats stuck 2 CD's in the
slot at the same time. Supposedly a neighbor got them out without forcing
anything. What method they used I don't know but I can hear the CD-Rom spin
up but I don't know if it's reading it or not. If I could just get it start
up off the CD I feel sure I could straighten it out. I haven't had a Mac to
stump before but there's a first time for everything. Anyone got any ideas.
This one has me stumped. Any info would be appreciated.
Error 41 (or -41), regardless of the actual message, means that either the Finder or the Finder Preference file has become corrupted.
if two CDs were in the drive at once, the CD drive is probably hosed. even if they managed to get the disks out without forcing anything, it's probably still hosed. it'll almost certainly need to be replaced.
