A CD is stuck in my MACBook pro: doesn't show on desktop and won't eject from iTunes?
A CD is stuck in my MacBook Pro, doesn't appear on desktop and won't eject? Help?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To force eject the CD, hold the trackpad while your Mac is starting, so it will be ejected.
If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your MacBook Pro is starting, and type:
drutil eject
exit
If it doesn't work, the SuperDrive is damaged, so it has to be replaced at an Apple Store or reseller. A cheaper way is to get an external disc drive

Tried to insert a small (3") CD in MacBook Pro. It wouldn't mount and can't eject it. Solutions?

Might be good to shut down.
Try shaking the devil out of it or I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

My Macbook pro, (late 2010) sometimes will sleep and won't wake up. then the sleep light flashes.What's the problem
Hi I've been following this thread (along with a different one on the same topic). I've been having the same problem with my ibook. I can add that I have no problem with startup. It's just that the screen "goes to sleep" unexpectedly and may operate normally for a few minutes or a few hours at most. Opening and closing the lid or restarting seems to cause it to awaken but then usually for just a few seconds or minutes. If it is connected to another video display that display continues functioning fine even though the computer screen is blank. In addition the desktop is there and visible faintly or if totally blank can be backlit through the apple logo and can be read. I've had my logic board replaced twice under the extended warranty and assumed it was that but now I'm thinking of the reed switch. Apple refuses to consider any further work under warranty as the last repair was in Jan, 06 and they claim only a 90 parts warranty and the machine is from 03. Any thoughts before I cut the wires? I have reset the pmu, run cocktail and disk utility. Other than the sleep issue the machine works fine. thanks Ronda or anyone else who has any ideas... Dave

Brand new macbook pro freezing when on the internet and won't fix itself
Three times tonight I have been on the internet and out of nowhere my macbook pro has frozen. I am unable to move the mousepad or click on anything or click out of the applications. I have to power off the computer to make it work again. How can i fix this? I have only had the computer for 5 days and I am confused at how this is happening already.
Take it back and get a new unit. If they say "We Will Fix it' then Return it for FULL REFUND, you have 14 days from day of purchase to return it No Questions Asked, and then buy another New unit.

MacBook Pro Mid 2014 shut off randomly and won't turn back on.
Hello,
My MacBook Pro(Mid 2014) won't turn back on. I was just typing up my essay and it just turned straight off and won't turn back on. It has happen several times before and all I had to do was press the buttons(SMC method) and the PVRAM thing and it would turn back on. But now it doesn't turn on at all. How do I fix this issue? I had went today to the Apple Store and had a appointment at 3:15-3:25 and I was late by 2 minutes, so they couldn't help me and offered me to come back at 5PM, but will busy so I asked for 5 Monday. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Back when it was operating it would shut off whenever I was using it at the random times. This is my first MacBook so I don't know if it's suppose to get Hot and loud sometimes when operating and then cool off afterwards if that helps out. It shutoff last week wednesday and doesn't turn on at all, but will charge to fully green though. Anyone got any suggestions? I do have a MacBook screwdriver to open it, so if anyone knows anything about the inside and how to resolve the issue it would be great. I don't know how to remove the battery so if you do know please tell me or some keyboard trick would be helpful! All my data is on this so I would like to solve before Apple erases my data.Hello,

I have hv30 canon, Final Cut Pro X connecting to my Macbook Pro. doesn't show anything. Please help!
Hey anyone who can help me!
I have a new canon hv30 vixia. I have fianl cut pro X. I have the newest macbook pro. I have gone cords after cord trying to figure out what is the right one because everytimee i conect it nothing at ALL shows up. WHAT CABLE DO I NEED PLEASE!? I bought a fireWire 400 to 800 adapter and then i pluged the fire wire into that since there is no DV cable slot on the macbook pro. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, IM STRESSING OUT!!My HV20, which is mechanically identical to the HV30, works perfectly with FCP X.
Have you tried trashing the preferences?
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X. -
MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT
After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
I hope someone can help me out with this!Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
The report I send to Apple contains the following:
... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849

Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks! -
I have a macbook pro os 10.7.5 and my mail icon has disappeared from my dock with a pop up box that says Mail Quit Unexpectedly. I have used the spotlight to find Mail, and have tried several more times to open the mail, but it closes with the same pop up. I also tried using the keychain first aid, but there is no apparent problem to repair. Anybody have any ideas?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
I upgraded few weeks ago to Mavericks from snow leopard. Since then , Ipad is often not recognized from macbookpro. When it is I cannot transfert gpx files from macbook pro to ipad through itunes like I could do it with snow leopard. So I cannot transfert any files to be read by navigation app on my ipad. I often have no internet conections so I need to specifically download through usb and itunes. Thanks for any hints.

Suggest Solution for this Display Flickering problem ....
Hi, I read the post about calibration and I probably do that a little too often TBH! As I get so little time out the battery and mainly use my MBP on my lap, usually with the power supply near by, it gets charged to full, run to empty to the point of sleep, or sometimes it even cuts out and then is recharged to full again, so I really think it's new battery time. I've seen non Apple Official ones for between £35 and £65 that have 3 year warranties and state they are around 5200mh but am unsure due to reviews.
Later...
Anyway's I have now ordered a non Apple replacement from Amazon for about £35 and it has several good reviews and 4.5 out of 5 stars so I'll see if it works and report back. If it doesn't I'll send it back and get the Official Apple one.

Macbook pro (2013 late) suddenly turned off and won't turn on
i got my new mac yesterday and was installing some adobe software (legal) and my computer minutes later shut down the power lead has a green light. the power button does nothing and there was no hint there was anything wrong before my computer died
If your MBP is only a day old, and you purchased it from Apple, bring it back for an exchange or a refund. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to exercise this option.

Macbook pro 13" 2012 shut off randomly and won't turn on
The only applications that were open were safari (I was watching hulu) and iTunes. The laptop randomly shut off without any warning. It was in the charger and was around 60-70% power. After it shut down the light that was on the charger turned to a faint orange blinking light and now is a faint green blinking light. This is the first time this has happened. I can't get the power to come back on. Need help asap!
Try resetting the SMC
Desktop Macs
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer. -

MacBook Pro 15" (Dual Core 2, 2009 unibody) won't wake from hibernation
This is frustrating me now.
When my laptop tries come out of hibernation (or "safe sleep") the progress bar moves on two marks and it either restarts, (black screen then chime and apple logo) or it brings up the kernal panic warning "you need to restart your computer, hold down power etc etc"
PMSET is set to default 3.
I've reset PRAM & SMC.
Tried everything.
Binned the sleepimage file, removed the power .plist settings in libarty and still the same issue.
Can any one shed any light on this? Other than that the laptop is healthy, wakes fine from normal sleep it's just when it runs out of battery and goes into hibernation.
Thanks in advanceInterval Since Last Panic Report: 45428 sec
