CD-R will not eject. Is there another way to eject besides the eject button?

I inserted an old CD-R, which would not read and will not eject. Is there another way to eject a disc?

You could always try the old Terminal trick...
drutil eject
Don't know if it will work, but it may be worth a try.

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

I haven't used my i-pod in forever and forgot the password! It was disabled but is currently not. Is there any way I can delete the password on the computar instead of going to a Apple store? Please help:)

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

I need internet explorer 5.5 or greater in order to use an online course. I can see that there isn't a mac explorer update but is there another way? I tried the wine bottler app and it didn't work for me.

Buy and install Windows.
Then you have IE
Of course you can always do as I do when some idiot, usually with the government, tell me I need to IE. I say no. After saying no enough times they mail me a form.
I don't believe in Microsoft.

When I download an app after purchasing it doesn't download and there is a loading symbol beside the next button.

In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

I locked myself out of my whole macbook i forgot the password i tried command and s but its not working is there another way also i dont have the cd

You didn't say what operating system you have. If OS X 10.6 or earlier, see this (you'll need your original OS X DVD that came with the system or a retail OS X DVD). If 10.7 or later, see this.

Is there another way of getting to the menu, without the menu key!

Hi Everyone
I am embarrassed to say that I managed to drop my blackberry in a cup of tea! Thankfully, it dried out eventually. But, the menu key will now not work
Is there a way of accessing the menu (things such as pics, clock, games etc) without using the menu key itself?
Thanks!
Vix

How long, how many days did you let it dry?
Plus if there was sugar or sweetener in the cup, it could leave gunk or something in the device, you might actually need to use rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts.
Until you decide that....
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

My MacBook pro will not start. There is computer speak all over the screen. It says Debugger called: panic. Anyone help? Thanks

I was playing COD4 when the computer locked and told me to force a restart.
When I try to restart it, it takes forever then the force restart message comes up and it freezes again.
There is computer language on the screen when this happens with the words " Debugger called:panic"
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Brent

If you're able to boot, launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

YouTube Video's will not load, is there a way to fix this?

I have flash installed and all YouTube video's will not load. In their place there is a black box when I right click on this box it says "movie not loaded..." and "about adobe flash player." All other flash related video's load fine it seems to be a problem only with YouTube. This problem persists into Google Chrome but not Internet Explorer.

This has been reported many times over the past 24 hours and if the solution hasn't been posted yet, one short-term workaround is to change from a regular session to a secure session.
Click in the URL and insert an s after http. In other words:
http://www.youtube.com/ ==> https://www.youtube.com/

Kindle app will not open.is there a way to retrieve my books.

My kindle app will not open and I can not get to my books. Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

Have you tried closing the Kindle app completely ? From the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Kindle app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Apart from you could try deleting and reinstalling the app, though you'll then need to re-download your Kindle books from Amazon.

Computer frozen. I have a paper i was writing and didn't save. If I shut down I will loose it, is there another way to get it working again?

Computer frozen, can't loose paper when shut down.Is there a another way to get working?

What program and version? Mac OS version? TimeMachine?
Maybe set to auto save every 5-10 minutes in the future, lesson learned.

HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

My itune library will not let me play any songs. I click the play button and it won't start the song.

Everytime i open itunes, it says that the songs cannot be played for some reason. I click the play button and it won't play a song.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting your device, but it can cure some glitches.

My iMac mini locks up (I get the whirling ball). Is there another way to unlock besides turning the computer off at the switch?

My Mac mini locks up (I get the whirling ball). Is there any way to reboot or get out of the lockup with out turning off the computer at the switch?

Nancy, I have the same problem. To get out hold down command-option-esc to force quit. My question is why is this happening and what can I do to stop it? The application affected is Iphoto when I click on edit.
Imac 2.66GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Just upgraded to 10.6.8, doesn't help.

My touchscreen is not working is there another way I can backup my contacts

help.

roseclements, I know the importance of having your contacts backed up. Without access to your touchscreen, it can be challenging to backup contacts, indeed. You mentioned that you may have backed them up, previously. Did you know that you can sign into the My Verizon account set for your phone number and view/edit/sync contacts this way? (Once signed in, go to Device, then Manage/Backup Contacts) Do you have a new phone that you're trying to transfer your contacts to? If so, which make/model phone? Please share more detials so we can figure out the best options, together.
