Card in wrong slot

Anyone know how to remove an SD card accidentally inserted into the dvd slot?

The good news you aren't the first to have done this. The easiest method is to turn the machine on it's side (of course being shut down) and try to jiggle it out. Here is a neat little tool someone devised that seemed to work for them:

Worst cast you will have to bring it in to an Apple Store or AASP to have it removed.

Wallstreet won't recognize DVD card in lower slot,but OK in top slot,ideas?

I've had this Wallstreet since it was new, and it came with the DVD drive and card. It's performed fine over the years- though the DVD is a bit touchy when it heats up. I've replaced the PCMCIA cage twice. Since installing the 2nd one, the decoder card isn't recognized by the machine when I put it in the (proper) lower slot. It shows fine in the upper one, but that's not where it goes if I want the DVD player to work. I can get other cards (a USB/Firewire card and an Aria extreme card) to show up fine in the lower slot. In short, I can't tell if it's the card, or the cage that is the problem. Or if it's something else.
I replaced the PCMCIA cage the 2nd time (about 2 years after the first replacement) as it would no longer accept cards, and if I touched the machine wrong when playing a DVD, the screen would turn an ugly muddy green color and I'd have to reboot. It would also sometimes do that on its own without being jostled. It got more finicky as it got hotter. Could something on the logic board be a problem?
I've tried using the player in both 8.6 and 9.2.2, but the card doesn't appear when in the lower slot in either one. Any ideas before I fiddle with trying yet another card cage?

Maureen,
Welcome to the Discussions.
It is curious that the DVD Decoder PC card would stop working at the same time you replaced the card cage. According to Apple, if other PC cards work in the lower slot, then the problem lies with the DVD Decoder card.
Just out of curiosity, shut down the Wallstreet, then perform a PRAM reset from a cold start. After releasing the keys for the PRAM reset, immediately press the shift key so no extensions load. If you then insert a PC card in either slot, you should get a message like "the necessary software to support this card is not present...do you wish to eject it?" Click 'no' and the card should still mount on the desktop with a generic icon. See if there is any difference when inserting the decoder card in the lower slot. Possibly a PRAM reset and/or extension conflict is causing a problem.
Are you sure you have all the DVD software components loading?

I inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out

Inadverdently inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out help please

Happened to me too. Just before I went on holiday and I was clearing off my SD card for my camera. I left it there until I got back (having to buy a new card at the airport) then did a quick search. Found this clip on youTube featuring an L-shaped piece of cardboard trick which worked perfectly for me on second attempt.
You've got to really blame Apple for the design of the machine when you consider the sheer amount of people who have made this mistake. At least I won't make it again.

SD card in DVD slot

I have (trying to 2 things at the same time) inserted an SD card in the DVD drive and can not see it any advice, the machine is a imac 3i

First problem is that SD cards go into their own slot. If you put it into the CD/DVD slot, you need to extract it. Do a search in these forums for sd card in dvd slot and peruse the hits.

Sd card in cd slot now lost inside

Accidently put sd card in cd slot. I think it slid down inside toward sd slot and can't get it out.

This happens with disturbing regularity: Camera Card in CD port... HELP!!!
One user reported success with a folded business card.
I liked the vacuum cleaner technique:
I got my SD card stuck into the cd slot, is there any way of getting it out myself?
Given the potential expense I would even buy a brand new Shop-Vac if necessary.

HT204384 When i put the sd card in the slot nothing happens-why?

Help!

What were you expecting to happen? Show on the desktop? Show in the sidebar? Start a program to grab photos?
You have to enable the ones you want. The first two are in Finder > Preferences > (General and Sidebar, respectively).
The third one is controlled inside Image Capture, but the option won't show up unless there is a card in the slot, and you select the card in the DEVICES list, and you click the little reveal trianle at the bottom of that column so it points down. That will give you a popup labeled "Connecting this camera opens:" and a list of applications on your computer that can import photos (one being Image Capture itself).

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

"Cartridges in Wrong Slot" C6350

Hello,
So I've replaced all 5 cartridges in my C6350 and 3 show up as in Wrong Slot (Black, Mgenta, Cyan) - Yellow and Photo Black do not show this error.
My replacement cartridges needed to have the old chip placed onto them, so I did that, they are lined up and on the correct cartridge.
I've cleaned the chip, the pins in the printer, verified TONS of times that the chips are in fact on the correct cartridge by removing one at a time and having the printer tell me "Black" is missing, "Cyan" is mising etc.
The printer will STILL not read them correctly. Chips or the cartridges do not appear to have any damage or signs of anything out of the ordinary.
HELP!
Thanks
WJ

The chips are not designed to be moved from one set of cartridges to another as they contain information specific to a cartridge. That said, the most likely cause is that they have not been put on the correct cartridge. When you remove a cartridge and is indicates that, for example, "Black is missing" it is an indication that there is no cartridge in the black position. It does not reflect that the cartrdige you just took out actually has a chip associated with a black cartrdige....
