Can't Remove HD

I hope someone can help with this.
I have a Powermac G5 with 2 HD's in the top and bottom bays. I can't remove the bottom drive because it's really wedged in there. I can't remove the top drive first because of the bottom drive. I've tried to wiggle it. I've tried holding open the screw slot things. I just can't get this drive out. I think it may be a tad oversized to begin with. It's a SATA drive but it's got a power connector like an older ATA drive and the drive looks a little taller than the new SATA drive I want to replace it with.
Short of dismantling the entire machine to get to the drive from the inside out, I have run out of ideas.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Got mine out by using a piece of string, I placed a loop around the screw on the top of the drive, used a piece of plastic to hold the tab on the left open, then placed my finger on top of the string and screw to hold the string on the screw and pulled on the string! Whoo came out like a charm.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.

    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • How can we remove the scroll bars from the table?

    Hi,
    I have a dynamic table. Currently the table appears with the scroll bars. But there is a requirement that the scroll bar should not appear and the table should stretch in the entire page. How can this be achieved.
    Thanks in advance
    Nita

    Thanks Mohammad for the reply.
    Was able to remove the scroll bars by using only the styleClass as AFStretchWidth. But there is a default partition in middle of the page still? Can i remove that too by any way.

    Hello Mudassar,
    In SQL Server / T-SQL we don't have a native JSON support, so you would have to implement a solution on your own = parsing the string and remove the "Key" + it's value.

  • How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

    How can I remove credit card from itunes account?

    I'm not home right now, so don't have iTunes here. I am basing this on having to do this a few days ago, as well as pictures from Google Images, so things may have different names now...
    Store (dropdown at top of iTunes screen)>View my account>Edit Payment Information>In the list of types of credit cards, the one at the far right says "None." Click that.

    I've never used a credit card in my account before, I decided to to use a Visa gift card that was given to me this past Christmas, but once I used up all the funds I can't remove it from my account. What can I do? Feel free to email me about this issue. THANKS!

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit the payment info on that account by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into the account, and on the account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on the account's page.

  • How can I remove my traded-in phone from my iCloud account?

    I sent my old iPhone back to Verizon as part of a trade-in agreement for a new phone. I followed their instructions for removing "Find my phone" from my old phone before trading it in.
    Now, when I log into iCloud I still see my old traded-in phone in addition to my current phone. How can I remove my old phone from my account? Why didn't that happen when I set my old phone to wipe all content before I traded it in?
    Thanks,
    Will

    You would think that erasing the old phone and removing it from your iCloud account would have removed it from your account settings on icloud.com but apparently that's not the case.  The only way to have done that would have been to sign out of your iCloud account first, which you obviously can't do at this point.
    Although I can't confirm this, one user said that they were told by Apple support that the old phone will automatically be removed when the old phone is signed into another iCloud account.  There's nothing else you can do at this point.
