Is your future classic giving you headaches? Apple is here to help:

If you are experiencing issues using your LED Cinema Display with your Mac, use the information below to help resolve the issue.

Apple Support:

To adjust the angle of the eMac, eMac (ATI Graphics) or eMac (USB 2.0) computer, you can use the eMac Tilt & Swivel Stand, available separately at http://www.apple.com/store/.

Follow the instructions that came with the Tilt & Swivel Stand to attach it to your computer. Then hold the sides of the computer with both hands and turn it side-to-side or move it up and down to adjust the angle.

That Apple Store link is dead now, but here’s how Apple described the Tilt & Swivel Stand on the eMac’s product webpage:

Apple designed this Tilt and Swivel stand (2) as an optional accessory. Using it, you can tilt eMac from -5° to +15° up and down or swivel your system 360°.

If you need additional assistance, contact Microsoft Product Support Services (866) 474-4882.

FYI, that phone number still works.

Apple, dropping the article before a product name years ago:

Xserve may exhibit a symptom where USB devices, FireWire devices, and the optical drive do not respond and external mass storage devices do not mount.

Xserve may be locked. Unlock Xserve using the Allen key that came with the server. Once the external mass storage volumes mount, you can lock the server again.

You can determine that the server is locked if the yellow security LED on the front panel is on:
