DVD keeps popping out.  How do I get it to play??

There's nothing else you need to do. Do other DVDs play in your Mac? Hate to say but your SuperDrive may have failed. Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 and PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
After that you can try a cleaning disc but that usually doesn't help. If your drive has failed you'll have to decide if it's worth replacing the internal with another unreliable slot loading drive or if you should purchase an external unit. If you decide to go the external route I'd recommend a tray loader...and don't buy the Apple USB SuperDrive as it will not work with macs that have a built in drive wether it works or not.

    Temporarily dip ****.
    And excluding the extremely high network traffic due to the many millions of users downloading the update a day or two after is was released, this is a problem with that swiss cheese for security garbage OS that is Windows only, which is the joke. An update that is now running on 1 in 3 compatible iDevices which is in the 10's of milllions is vaporware Einstein?
    If I were your rep, I would tell you to **** off. Go get Windoze mobile devices.

    Create your own user account on your computer, open iTunes, log into your iTunes account on the iTunes Store then sync your iPhone.

  • I need help,i changed my primary email,now when i want to buy itunes,the old email name keeps coming up,how do i get the old primary email off of my phone

    i changed my primary email,and now when i go to buy itune songs,my old email keeps coming up,how do i get my old email off of the phone

    The only thing I did was I went to the Apple.com , logged in and changed my primary e-mail since I will be losing the old email soon ( I have a different job). I said update info and verified the email was correct. I just went to settings on icloud and logged out and tried to log in and now it won't take anything. I don't even know now which e-mail they want the primary one or recovery, it won't take any of the 3. Not sure what else to try at this point, I guess I can't buy any more music.

  • Memory card keeps popping out and i have to push it back in several times a day.

    My media/memory card continually pops out and I get a message saying no media card. I pus it back in and then later it comes out again.
    Anyone else have this problem or know why I am getting it? It is very annoying and happens several times a day.

  • All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back??

    All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back? I tried to reboot my phone by turning it completely off and on again and that didn't help. I tried syncing to the compluter on itunes and that didn't help, and I tried calling AT&T and that didn't help. They said to make an appt. with Apple and hopefully they could help. They also said that 3 other people came in their store with the same issue this week. If someone out there knows how I could get contacts back on my phone please let me know. Thanks.

    There are no contacts on or in iTunes. iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes can serve as the sync conduit to sync contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Certainly you don't depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or there can be a hardware or software problem preventing access to the contacts.
    Windoze or Mac?
    Your contacts are not available anywhere on your computer?

  • I recently got IOS 8 and I like it but there is one problem on my camera roll it says i have 600 photos but i went into setting general and about and it says i have 2,743 photos my photos keep on duplicating how do i get this to stop.

    Hi Bpaitin,
    Go to Settings>General>Usage, and under iCloud, click on Manage Storage>click on your device, then under Backup Options, turn Photo Library off and then back on. See if that clears it up.
    If it does not, reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
    Cheers,

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?

    "I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
    How? Using what equipment/software?
    "The DVD  plays on the device on which it was recorded."
    Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions.
