Cd won't eject and kernal panics: what does it mean?

I've been getting kernal panics from time to time recently, and just last night a burned DVD refused to mount, show up in Disk Utility, or eject. i tried rebooting with the mouse down with no effect, and then i tried option-apple-O-F'ing and typing "eject CD," but it told me "can't OPEN the EJECT drive." is there anything i can do to get the DVD out? i'm out of warranty and apple care at this point.
The drive still makes noises on bootup, so at least the power is connected correctly. But I just checked System Profiler, and under Disc Burning it says, "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly." Does this just mean that the drive somehow got disconnected? Would it be worth my while to open the computer up and make sure the connection is tight?

you'd be wasting your time; its so tight in there that the optical has no place to go.

Spatial conform and blend mode; what does it mean and wherefore?

I can't find a explination in the help...: spatial conform and blend mode; what does it mean and when do you use it because there is e a big numbre of choises.
Ican't find a explination in the help...
Thanks!

Spatial conform is where you decide whether you want the (oversize) image to fit the video display size, or to be full-size (allowing room for animation).
Blend modes - far too many to describe here even if I knew them all, but Overlay is a nice one to start with. They specify how you want a layer to blend with the one below it. Try them and see what they do.

I plugged my iPod nano into my computer to charge it. The message says, "Eject before disconnecting". What does this mean?

In iTunes, next to the iPod, there will be an eject icon. This safely disconnects the iPod from your computer.

The message in the log is the last thing recorded before my system experiences screen flickering, system lockup, and then a screen full of a random color such as a dark red, dark yellow, grey, or black. I can see that the screen is still on and back lit, but I have to force quit the computer and restart it.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem to a specific piece of software as it has occurred while running Safari, Pages, Starcraft 2, heck even just moving documents around in the Finder. The problem started at the end of March.
Apple Hardware, Disk Utilities, and TechTool Pro 6 says, for the most part, that everything is just fine. TTP6 did highlight 3 issues with the SMART parameters for my hard drive - 2 of which ("Seek Error Rate" & "Hardware ECC Recovered") still passed the test. The one hard drive issue that failed the test was the "Temperature Changes".
For absolute completeness sake, after exhausting my bag of troubleshooting tricks, I started from scratch. (Something I haven't had to do since the days of OS 9.)
I have since :
Thoroughly wiped my drive.
Reformatted my drive.
Reinstalled Lion (which I've used since its release without problem).
Used TTP6 to Defrag & rebuild directories.
All software is up to date.
The only additional software I've reinstalled, for graphical stress testing is SC 2.
The system still randomly suffers screen flickers, followed by system lockup, and then the screen displays a solid color = force system reboot.
My fixation on the graphic hardware is because the most reoccurring log reports from the Console notify of a GPU restart and the "NVIDIA" channel report. Oh, a few days ago I did get a kernal panic on :

I'm trying to empty my trash on my mac but it won't because it's "UpdatingDockTail" What does this mean?

I'm trying to empty my Trash on my desk top but a window pops up saying "The operation can't be completed because the item "UpgradeDockTail" is in use.
It then has stop or continue to choose from but nothing happens when I click on either one. What does this mean and how do I stop it?

Log out, log back in, and try again. If that doesn't work, reboot.

TS3297 Each and every time I try to buy a song I get "duplicate file" and it won't let me continue. What does this mean? I am not signed in to iTunes anywhere else.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Single and strategy plan( What does it means )?

Hi all,
Please explain me what does single cycle plan and strategy plan means.
Following is my requirement.
( Since Swedish mills and other units use not only single cycle plans but also strategy plans , sometimes with multiple operations to each maint item, there is a need for cycle and cycle unit (interval) and work center on operation level on the layout in the report zpm_huvud.
There is also a need for maint plan name, plant section and work center (on operation level) as search criteria in the variant. The reason for this is that we use plan name as grouping criteria for multiple objects in rounds. The criteria work center description text should be changed into main work center.
We also need to be able to sort the answer in the layout in two ways : by functional location or by maintenance plan.
The plans that have object lists and/or have no operation lists also need to be shown in the report. All text on maintenance plan should be shown in the report )
Please explain me this with one example...
Its urgent.
Thanx in advance,
Amruta.

hi
single cycle plan
say for example you are planning to replace the bearing of a pump every 500 hrs of ruuning ,you use this plan to generated the maintenance order when the operating hours reaches 500 hrs.
Stratergy
In case of DG set there are lot of components to be maintained based on running hours for example for ever 100 hrs filters to be cleaned,every 500 hrs lub oil to be changed.In this case you can use strategy based maintenance plan .you can create 2 operation in the task list and assign to the respective package,so onec the 100 hrs has reached system will create maintenance call object as filters to be changed and in 500 hrs it will say lub oil replacement

Hi again
Well I tried eliminating my printer, and starting over again like you suggested, but still cannot get my printer connected to my access point wirelessly.
Also, when I was in the process of installing the printer, I received the following message:
"System extension cannot be used
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireMxBt.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
What the heck does that mean???
Thanks!

Kernel Panic: What does this mean please?

Several days ago I downloaded 10.4.11 update and got an icon placed on my desktop. I double-clicked it and it said it didn't recognize it, so I put the icon in the trash.
That night when I tried to shut down it progressed normally until I got a dark screen. Then, just when I thought it was closed down, up pops a rectangle that says "You need to restart the computer. Hold down the power key for several seconds."
I held down the power key, and instead of the computer starting back up, it turned off. I didn't think much about it. But then the next night it did the same thing again, and again last night.
It has only done it on that one user account where I downloaded the update to my desktop. And one night I verified permissions, verified the disk, shut everything down one=by-one, and disconnected before shutting down, and it did not do it that night. But did do it again the next night. Here is the report that it gave me:

Does anyone understand what this is saying? And what I should maybe do or not do?

Cyan,
I'm not an expert in this field, but I can suggest the catchall "Archive and Install" option on your Mac OS X Install DVD. "Archive and Install" backs up your current system folder (and also your documents, music, and pictures), and installs a fresh system on your hard disk. You can then drag the "Previous System" folder to the Trash after the installer is finished. I am going to assume that the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update caused this, as your computer seemed to be working properly before the update.
To "Archive and Install", start your computer from your Mac OS X Install DVD (by holding down the "C" key with the Install DVD in the drive as your Mac boots). Next, after you see the Mac OS X Installer, follow the prompts until you reach the "Destination" screen. Once you select your current hard disk, click the "Options" button in the lower left-hand corner of your screen. In the window that appears, choose the "Archive and Install" button, and *make sure* that the "Preserve Users and Network Settings" is selected. Then, proceed with the install. Once the installer completes and you have a working system, open your Macintosh HD. There, you should see a folder called "Previous System". Once you are sure that your current system is working, you may drag this folder to the Trash, and then empty the Trash. If you need more help with "Archive and Install", please look at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120.
Also, once the install completes and you have a functioning system, *do not* download the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update. 10.4.11 has been known to cause problems for many Mac users. You can download the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdateppc.html for PowerPC processors, and http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10410comboupdatev11intel.html for Intel processors. These are "combo" updaters-they will update any Mac OS X 10.4 version (from 10.4.0 to 10.4.9) to version 10.4.10.
Good luck!

Photoshop Elements 10 does not work properly, won't open; Error:213:11 ; What does that mean?

I've downloaded and installed my version of PS Elements, but while I try to open it, it stops working as an error accurred. Error:213:11
I don't know what I did wrong while I got all my licences...

Well, this is not working either. There is no such folder and I wonder why. Otherwise I would have tried this before.
Guess my version's too old? I tried to run on my Win7 and the data is from year 2011.
Though I re-installed it but still there was no SLStore-Folder on my PC. It's a bit strange though and I cannot update the program while it's not working.

Mac Box Set for iLife '09 and iWork '09 - what does it mean for me?

Apple recently offered the Mac Box Set on their online Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB997
It comes both in family and single user license.
If you recently bought a new Mac on or after January 6, 2009, and it lacked iLife '09 after January 6, 2009, Apple offered an up to date program for iLife:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/uptodate/
Which says:
The program ends on March 28, 2009. Your order must be postmarked or faxed by April 3, 2009, and received by April 10, 2009.
Assuming it is not extended, I won't ask this tip to be updated.
Since the Mac Box Set includes iLife '09 and iWork '09, check the system requirements below to see if your Mac is able to use that update:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/systemrequirements.html
http://www.apple.com/iwork/systemrequirements.html
Mac OS X 10.5.6 will run on any PowerPC or Intel Mac that is 867 Mhz or faster with built-in processor (not including the 800 Mhz dual processor Macs or slower), with 512 MB of RAM, and 9 GB of free disk space. Realistically that has been found to be 9 GB+ 15% free of disk space by end users.
1. If you bought your Mac on or after January 6, getting the iLife up to date, and iWork '09 installer may be the most you'll need to do if your Mac didn't come bundled with iLife '09.
2. If you bought a new Mac post December 15, 2008 but pre-January 6, buying iLife and iWork separtely is probably the best deal.
3. If you bought your Mac post October 26, 2007, but pre-December 15, 2008, the Mac Box set will work with your machine, but may not be necessary unless you lack the ability to contact AppleCare, and lack the ability to get the original discs that came with your Mac, and have no other way to install 10.5. Getting a single user license is good if all you have is one Mac that meets those qualifications, and a family pack if you have 5 Macs in the same household that meet those requirements.
4. Macs purchased prior to October 26, 2007, get the best deal out of the Mac Box Set if they meet the iLife, iWork, and Leopard requirements. Getting a single user license is good if all you have is one Mac that meets those qualifications, and a family pack if you have 5 Macs in the same household that meet those requirements.

Sorry about that, but at this time, this tip is outdated. Remove?
