CD stuck in my computer

I put a CD that was scratched into my disk drive to load it onto iTunes, and now the CD will not eject. I have used the eject button and different commands, as well as trying to force quit iTunes and other applications, and the CD will not come out. I need help! Any suggestions??

You can also try ejecting it using the Terminal application from your Utitilies folder. Open the Terminal and type the following:drutil tray ejectThen hit the"Enter" key. The computer should attempt to eject the disc.

  • Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings"

    Can't get WRT54G to start up, gets stuck at "checking computer settings" at 99% Please help!
    If I hit the escape key it will go to the password screen, it looks like the password is already entered for me so I hit enter, but then it just goes back to "checking computer settings" and won't go past 99% again.'
    Sorry but the last post mistakenly said the wrong number so I posted this.

    If you are running the install CD that came with the router, the behavior you describe is exactly what happened when I tried using the CD today. The CD didn't seem to work with my computer's fixed IP address (not in the 192.168.1.0 network.)
    What worked for me was to set my computer to have the fixed IP address 192.168.1.2. Then I was able to contact the router using its web interface at 192.168.1.1 amd make the necessary settings.
    The password had NOT been changed from the default despite the install CD software seemingly accepting a new password. The default password worked.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • 2008R2 RD Termimnal Server stuck at apply computer settings over an hour

    Hi Everyone
    I am currently experience issue with my 2008R2 RD Terminal Servers. Every time I reboot the server it stuck in the "Apply computer settings" screen for few hours. These RD Terminal server is part of our NLB cluster. User connect to the
    RD terminal Servers via FQDN for the NLB cluster VIP . Each servers has dual network adaptor. The second network adaptor is link to a NLB cluster. If one of the servers stuck in the "Apply computer settings
    screen" Open NLB manger from one of the RD Terminal server, NLB manager will end up not responding.
    I have found a way to allow me to login to the problematic RD terminal server by disabling the network on the network adaptor of the vm. This allow me to login. Then I quickly re enable the network on the adaptor. Users complained when
    they log in to that server stuck at "Apply computer settings" screen 
    We do have GPO policy apply to these terminal servers I have moved one of the RD Terminal server to another OU with minimum policy that makes no different.
    Appreciate any advice
    Thanks

    I have managed to resolve the issue by going into safe mode and disable windows management instrumentation service after reboot I am able to login . remove VMware tools. restart the server. apply computer setting disappear. almost like something is conflicting
    with VMware tools

  • Server stucks at Applying Computer Settings after every reboot

    Hello!
    On one of our sites containing around 15 servers, whenever a terminal server is rebooted, it gets stuck on Applying Computer Settings for around 15 minutes. If it is un-joined from the domain then no issue. Moreover, once it is done with this delay, no time
    delay is observed in user login. But after every reboot, 15 - 20 mins delay is always observed. Domain is the same at other sites and no issue is being observed else where.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
    In addition, for a test please try to modify the behavior of HTTP.SYS to depend on another service being started first. To do this, perform the following steps: 
    1. Open Registry Editor
    2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP and create the following Multi-string value:
    DependOnService
    3.  Double click the new DependOnService entry
    4. Type CRYPTSVC in the Value Data field and click OK.
    5. Reboot the server
    NOTE: Please ensure that you make a backup of the registry / affected keys before making any changes to your system.
    More information.

    Hi,
    have you tried booting your Mac from the recovery partition by holding cmd-r while booting? If that works, then start the Disk Utility from the menu and try a "Repair disk".
    After the Disk Utility is finished, try the "Repair Permissions". Though this is a highly overrated "feature", it might even help in your situation. Do this repeatedly until nothing changes. This doesn't mean there won't be any messages left over.
    Cheers,
    Paul

    Hi Clinton,
    This happens to all the time and this is what I normally do. (Press and hold the pwer button until the computer shuts down) but, this doesn't seem to answer the real issue. Its just like you cut of the power to shut it down.

  • Parallels Desktop getting Stuck on "Applying Computer Settings"

    I get it installed and updated, but everytime I complete the installation of PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 and reboot, Windows XP hangs on 'Applying Computer Settings.'
    Anyone have a clue what to due to advance it beyond this point? I have uninstalled and and reinstalled it already one and applied all updated.

    No, I dont think so as I had XP running fine and in
    fact even had it hooked into my local home Windows
    2003 server on my home domain.
    Has to be something with PC-cillin.
    James, sorry, what I meant was your title says "Parallels Desktop getting Stuck", and to me it sounds like Parallels is working fine, its XP that is stuck on "Applying Computer Settings"? (could very well be PC-cillin, just not sure if Parallels is the issue)
    Some Windows XP docs on it:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832161
    (mentions trying to unplug the network cable to see if it loads that way)
    http://steven.vorefamily.net/2004/06/windows-xp-hangs-applying-computer.html
    http://microsoft.mailarchive.ca/public.windowsxp.security_admin/2004-10/2366.htm l
    (DNS issues)
    I don't see any specific issues mentioned on the Parallels board about PC-cillin, I guess the easiest thing is to boot into safe mode, remove PC-cillin completely and restart without it. I've run AVG on my XP copy running on Parallels with no issues. Good luck!
    (you might also ask this on the Parallels forum board: http://forum.parallels.com/forum53.html

  • CD stuck in slot & computer won't start

    I placed a cd in my front slotted graphite (special edition) iMac and the icon didn't appear. I attempted to manually eject with a paper clip and I heard all the whirring sounds but it would't eject. I hit restart and held the mouse key down, nothing. During one of my restarts the computer chimed, a grey screen and the apple icon appeared with the circular rotating lines beneath it. Then a dark grey circle with a diagonal line across it replaced the apple icon. It continues like this endlessly. I can't use the button to turn the machine off. I must disconnect the power cord. I can't use the restore cd because the first cd is stuck in the slot. I hear no telltale whirring sounds anymore.
    Tried shift key & option, command P & R keys at start neither work. It gets to the screen I just descibed and doesn't progress.
    I'm working with OSX3.9. I had no previous problems? Any advice?iMac graphite Special Edition   Mac OS X (10.3.9)iMac graphite Special Edition   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  
    iMac graphite Special Edition   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Well with more agressive prodding I was able to get out not one cd, but discovered by mistak, I placed in two. Got them both out but now still can't get the computer started. After hitting the restart button I hear the chimes and a grey screen appears. After two minutes a dark grey apple icon appears. After 2 more minutes the rotating circle, then the apple icon is replaced with a dark grey circle with the diagonal line throuh it. I tried restarting holding down the shift key and then the command, option, P & R key technique but neither work. I thought about inserting the software restore cd into the slot but I don't feel the typical pull I used to feel when inserting a cd/dvd. Also fearful it will get stuck in there. Again also not hearing the typical whirring sound I used to hear when inserting a disc.
    I have a Firewire CD-rewritable drive connected, so I tried starting the computer (while holding down the C key) with the software install disc in it, hoping it might start things, but same results.
    Any suggestions?

  • Windows 7 stuck in my computer

    I put the wrong dvd in my computer.  i put a windows 7 64 bit in my computer instead of windows 7 32 bit.  Now the computer is stuck on a black screen.  I shut the computer down but it always returns to the black screen.  My computer can't work with 64 bit windows 7.  I've already tried restarting and hitting the open apple or the option key

    Restart the computer then hold down the left (click) button of the mouse (if it is an iMac) or the click area of the trackpad (if it is a laptop). [You didn't say which model you have.] Upon restart the disk will be ejected, OS X will boot normally and you can get on with your computing tasks.

  • Leopard disc stuck in my computer

    I have a G5 bought in 2004 went to update it with leopard and now my disc is stuck and I get nothing but a blue screen and a spinning disc. I tried to eject by the eject button but now luck. Help

    You might also try using the disk utillity app and ejecting it that way.
    Also, sometimes just turning off the computer and letting it cool off will make things work normally.
    Here's what Mac says:
    Ejecting a CD or DVD when all else fails
    If you've tried all the usual methods of ejecting a CD or DVD from your computer's optical drive, there are some other methods you can try.
    First, quit all applications that are using files on the disc. Then try one of these alternate methods:
    Open Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder), select the disc, and choose File > Eject.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart and hold down the mouse or trackpad button until the disc ejects.
    If your drive has an emergency eject hole, put the computer to sleep and insert a large, straightened paper clip in the small emergency eject hole of the drive (the location varies, depending on the drive). Push firmly until the disc ejects.
    If all other methods fail, you can try to eject the disk using the firmware. (This may not work on all computers. For example, it does not work on Intel-based computers.) The steps below describe how to start up and briefly use the computer with only the firmware loaded, not the standard Mac OS X interface.
    To eject a disc using firmware:
    Restart the computer.
    When you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Command-Option-O-F keys. (The Command key has an Apple on it.)
    Release the keys when you see a white welcome screen.
    At the prompt, type:
    eject cd
    Press Return, then wait a few seconds. The disc drive should eject the disc, and "ok" appears on the screen when the action is complete.
    Type:
    mac-boot
    Press Return.
    Your computer starts up normally and you see the familiar Mac OS X desktop.
