While single-layer recordable DVDs hold up to 4.7 GB of data, Double-Layer discs have two layers of data, allowing the SuperDrive laser to read and write on both layers, almost doubling the storage to 8.5 GB.

If you're looking for information about Intel Macs produced since 2006, see this article.

Important: You cannot normally use a Mac OS version earlier than the one included with the computer. See "Don't install older versions of Mac OS than what comes with your computer," as well as the related documents mentioned below.

Notes

1. Some computers shipped with different Mac OS versions at different times. When a computer was not bundled with a later version, a "-" appears in the "Later Mac OS included" column.

(For example, maybe you have one or more iMac G5 (iSight) computers and a remote-controlled TV in the same room.)

   Pairing allows you to set the receiving computer so that it can only be controlled by one remote. Here's how to pair your Apple Remote:

      The Apple Remote uses a CR2032 lithium 3.0 V coin battery that is commonly used in small electronic devices. You'll find these batteries at most electronics stores, drug stores, and at Radio Shack.

      

      When the Apple Remote's battery power is low, you will see an icon on your iMac display letting you know that you should replace the battery.

This is normal. However, on a first generation iMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later, the fans may continue to run at full speed even after you restart the computer normally.

      Solution

      If your iMac gets into into a state where the fans have remained at full speed after using single-user mode, follow these steps:

      1. Type "exit" at the single-user mode command line prompt.
      2. Press Return.

         The Apple Remote operates on an infrared-based transmitter. If it has an unobstructed line-of-sight to the receiver, the Apple Remote can function at distances of up to 30 feet.

         About the battery

           Some Apple computers have an auto-switching power supply, which monitors the incoming voltage and automatically switches itself accordingly. Other Apple computers have a power supply that must be manually switched for various incoming voltages. The change is made by moving the voltage selector switch, which is accessible from outside the computer's case. Still other Apple computers have a power supply that is rated only for the country in which it is sold, and is not switchable to other voltages.
