HP IQ546t won't accept a cd

Hi, new to this forum:  My HP touchsmart IQ546t won't accept a cd into the slot:  feels like it hits something when it's about a quarter of the way in and won't go any further.  There was not another cd already installed.  It was working fine until about 1 week ago-last time i used it.  It's only rarely used;  maybe once a week. 
Thanks for any advice,
sandssik

Not good. You can remove the drive and if it has a manual eject hole, you can put something like the end of a straightened paper into it to manually move the internal mech ...if it is off. THe other possibility is that something inside broke off. If you can find a replacement part, you can use this support document to replace the drive yourself:

Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

  • How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

    I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

  • When I try to access the Apple store to install a game on my Iphone3g, another person's email address comes up on the page that asks for my password. Has someone hacked my account? It won't accept my password because it's someone else's ID!!!

    When I attempt to install a game on my I phone 3g, another person's ID (email address) is on the little box where it asks for my password. It won't accept my password because it's not my ID. How can I get this person's ID off my phone?  Have I been hacked or something??

    I understand that you are attempting to update some applications on your iPhone but the payment method was declined. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the information in the attached article to help resolve the situation.

  • Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

    Hi all,
    My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
    When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
    I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
    Help! and Thanks.

    Norman & Harry,
    Consider the following:
    *_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
    It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
    It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
    You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
    Select the TC on the left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
    You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
    Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
    That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
    *I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
    You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
    Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
    Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
    To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
    Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
    Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
    *It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
    Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
    Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
    Click the "File Sharing" tab.
    Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
    What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
    If you have made any changes then click "Update".
    Let us know if this resolves your issue.
    Cheers!

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

  • How can two people use both of their shared credit cards on each of their two iPhones if the credit card numbers are the same but the names are different? The iPhone won't accept the second card because it says that it's already been loaded.

    iPhone won't accept second credit card with the same number, but different user.

    Only one credit card can be on an iTunes account at any one time - presumably if they are shared credit cards with the same card number then it's the same credit card account with the one bill, so from a billing/payment point of view does it make any difference which card is on the account(s) ?

  • I recently bought a 2008 mac pro which came with leopard 10.5. I can't load any new programs because it calls for a password, but it won't accept it. I bought new snow leopard 10.6.3 but I can't load it for the same reason. How can I completely reboot.

    Help. I recently bought a 2008 Mac Pro from Mac of all Trades. It came with Leopard 10.5 installed. When I set initially started the computer, I followed the instructions on the screen. I was asked to set up a password which I did. Since I'm very forgetful and not too tech savy, I wrote it down as I typed it in. I first went to install Office Mac 2011 but when it asks for a password, it won't accept the one I set up. I was told that if I bought the new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installed it, that it would reset everything. Well, it won't allow me to load it without the password. I am new to Apple - this is my first. I have always been able to "reboot" a computer with discs but I'm not sure how to do this one. Is there a way to do it without the password and reset everything? Could somone please email me
    Thank You. David Moore

    If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
    If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
    Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

  • On my iPhone, the app store won't accept my credit card code. The thing is that it worked before and now it doesn't work. Now I can't download or update apps. Does anyone know what to do?

    I have a visa card and i used it on my apple ID and now the AppStore won't accept my code so now I can't update or download apps. Please help!!!! :(

    This has happened to me in the past a couple of times.  I can't say i have a definitive answer for you, but i believe it is a problem with the iTunes servers.  I would recommend shutting off all devices connected to the account to be sure you are completely disconnected, then turn one on, connect, and try again.  That worked for me last time i had the problem.  The first time i just gave it a day and it was taken care of. 
    Good luck.

  • I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

    Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

    I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
    P.S.
    If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

  • Can't buy iCloud storage for second time on same card (accidentally missed .99c payment). Payment information won't accept  my country:region and will  not let me hit complete. Please help!!

    Please help! I've cannot update/amend my payment info after accidently missing the payment for more icloud storage. I would like to purchase it again using the same card and it wont let me. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.
