DVD STILL STUCK

I have tried holdinh down the track pad button and pressing on the case above the drvie but still no luck. Does anyone have a way to get a stuck dvd out of the drive?

Use a thin piece of hard plastic (thinner than a credit card) or the tip of a blunt knife. Slip just the corner/tip on top of the DVD itself, apply a light downward pressure and hit the Eject button.

  • Dvd-disc stuck. How do I get it out?

    Hi,
    I put in an dvd that the dvd player can´t read. But now I don´t even get it out. The "eject dick" command is not feasible in the toolbar and ommand-E dosn´t work either.
    Is there another way?

    Hold down the Option key at Startup. The screen redraws with an Icon for each bootable Volume, and the Eject key is "live" once all the icons are drawn. This tends to work a little better because software can't "Grab" the contents of the drive and lock it up.
    If it is still stuck, make an appointment at the Genius Bar. Those guys solve this problem for users all day, every day, and they have disc extraction down to a science. If they do not have to remove the drive, there is generally no charge, in warranty or out.

  • DVD disc stuck in drive

    Operating system not installing. The dvd is stuck in the drive. What method to use to eject the dvd from the drive? Have tried holding down the mouse, this has been ok in the past but, not on this occasion!
    Any takers?
    Kind regards,
    mflick

    Here's an excerpt from an Apple article that might help:
    The drive doesn't eject discs or discs eject slowly
    If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to be struggling, insert and eject a single disc several times.
    If the drive does not eject discs using the F12 or eject key on the keyboard.
    If the disc will not eject try dragging the disc icon to the trash.
    If the disc will still not eject, holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer should also eject a disc.
    If the disc continues not to eject, reset the Power Manager (PMU) or System Management Controller (SMC) and try steps 1-4 again.
    If the disc still does not eject, for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store.

    Why did you wipe the drive?
    Were you having problems?
    If you were those problem may be related to a failing hard drive and that is why the TM backup could be restored.
    In you topic header you say the system won't boot from the SL DVD, But it di for you to wipe the drive. Then it should again boot from the SL DVD.
    Insert the DVD and reboot, hold down the Option key and select the Optical drive, SL DVD, as the Boot source.

  • I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

    I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page

    The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
    Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
    Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
    Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
    For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app.

  • IPod Touch still stuck on connect to iTunes screen after the restore. iTunes went blank.

    Hi, I'm having problems with my iPod Touch. My iPod went off because the battery was empty. And when I tried connecting it to my laptop to recharge, the "connect to iTunes" screen suddenly appeared. According to iTunes I need to RESTORE it for it to work. And that's exactly what I did. However, after the restore and all, the screen is still stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen.
    By the way, it's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. And it's an MC model.
    And to make things worse, my iTunes screen is totally empty. The RESTORE option is gone and I really don't know what to do anymore.
    Hope you guys can help me out! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

    I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
    For my iTunes:
    Thank you!
    P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

    Hi
    So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
    When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
    Thanks.

  • My iphone is stuck in restore mode.  I plugged into macbook and ran a restore and it is still stuck

    iphone is stuck in restore mode when i did a rebook.  I hooked up to my macbook and ran a restore.   Itunes ran through the restore and now it is still stuck in restore mode.

    If it won't restore in the regular restore mode, you may want to try putting it in DFU mode if you haven't already. Instructions for this are linked below.
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    Put it in this mode, then do a restore again through your computer.
    Hope this helps you out!

    My iPod is stuck on the USB connector towards the iTunes snd on cd, and I updated it and now it's saying my iPod has apasscode when it's still stuck on that USB screen... What do I do????

    you can do is go to ijailbreak.com then select downloads section.......scroll down and see the latest version of ipod touch second generation is available for download.....when it gets downloaded connect your iPod to itunes or keep it connected then hold option and click restore (mac) search the software by writing in search "iPod" a thing with white cube will show up if it is the file you just downloaded click it and wait for itunes to do its work......you can ask more if you are on windows

  • Messages still stuck in the Inbound queue SMQ2

    Hello XI Gurus,
    All my messages with "READY" status are still stuck in the inbound queue (smq2) for the last 2 hours...there was no SYSFAIL error messages or scheduled background running. I have to manually go in and executed each of those messages, instead of automatically process it. Could someone please tell me how to troubleshoot this?
    Thanks so much in advanced,
    Dng

    Implement SAP note 758677 for this. This exactly deals with your issue.
    This Basically speaks about scheduling 'RSQIWKEX' for inbound and 'RSQOWKEX' for outbound queues.
    Also, you need to set the parameter 'QRFC_Restart_ALLOWED' to '1' in the transaction 'SXMB_ADM' -> Integration engine. Its in the runtime dropdown menu.
    Note : without this parameter being set this will not work.
    Thanks,
    Karthik

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • DVD-R stuck in machine!

    DVD-R stuck in the machine. I can power-down and start-up again to eject it but am hoping someone has a more immediate (and better) solution. Loved the days when I could use a paper clip to physically cause the disk to eject. But... progress... Thanks.

    #1 - The Eject key
    #2 - Launch Disk Utility (Finder>Go>Utilities), select the ‘stuck disc’ in the volume list on the left & then either click the "Eject Button, Press Command+E or choose File>Eject Disk.
    #3 - Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the Terminal prompt enter or paste the following command:
    #4 - drutil eject
    Press RETURN.
