Eject button no longer works on macbook pro

Hey Everyone,
I just recently purchased a Macbook Pro and it has been working great. I have had it for about a month and just recently, the eject button does not do anything anymore.
I am wondering if I turned it off or something by mistake. Does anyone know how to fix this, or could this be a faulty button on the keyboard?
Thanks,
Dave

You may have already tried this however if not then try resetting the PRAM.
1. Shut the computer off.
2. Restart holding the Option-Command-R-P keys down, wait for three "bongs" and release the keys. The computer will then boot normally.
This will clear the PMU and may help ejecting the CD/DVD issue.

  • Trackpad no longer works on MacBook Pro after update to OS 10.72.2

    I just did a software update to OS 10.7.2 and upon restart my trackpad no longer works.  The button does but not the pad. Any thoughts?  I have never had a problem with it.  There is no battery issue.  No buckling or swelling.  It worked, then I updated it to 10.72, restarted, and now it doesn't.
    I have a MacBook Pro, 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB SDRAM.
    Thank God I have an external mouse.  HELP!

  • Why do regular stereo mini jack headphones no longer work in macbook pro

    I have a macbook pro (2009) v10.9.5, 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo. Lately normal non apple stereo mini jack headphones no longer work. The jack doesn't cut the speaker sound as normal. It wasn't like this until comparatively recently. Apple iphone headphones do work.. is this a software or hardware problem?

    That is odd.  Try a NVRAM reset:

  • Eject button no longer works after iTunes audio CD burn

    Hi, after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, the eject button on my drive does not work after burning a CD.
    It still works with other applications, just not iTunes (but it did before the latest upgrade).
    Luckily, I can still eject disc's using the iTunes, or Windows Explorer software - but it's a pain.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

    For my Matshita UJ-831Da CD/DVD drive, the driver version showing in device manager is 5.1.2535.0. I just now clicked on "update driver" and the reply was that a newer version could not be found.
    But why would doing a "Run Diagnostics" in iTunes now freeze / crash my whole system when it never did before? It only began doing that after it also began failing to burn CDs. Again, the iTunes software is the only software that has ceased to burn CDs.
    Several months ago, I finally reached by phone a girl at Apple tech support who first denied there were any known problems. But when I told her that the web was full of thousands of people screaming about this very issue she recanted and admitted that iTunes was having these problems, that they had posted the fix for some of the other CD/DVD drives but not mine. She then said, "but if you pay $35 I'll tell you how to fix it." Absolutely unethical. That's like buying a car then being told that there's now an extra fee for being told how to start it. She may have lied about knowing what the fix is, but either way it's absolutely unethical.
    The problem is iTunes. iTunes changed and now won't drive the same current drive it worked with when iTunes accepted my money, in advance, to purchase and burn music at future dates. iTunes should fix the problem.
    I'm willing to go through the leg-work, to try all of Apple's instructions here, but Apple also needs to follow through with this.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Time Machine no longer working on Macbook Pro

    I am at my wits end, have 2 Macbook Pro'sand one no longer backups up in TM (simply spins forever in 'Preparing Files'). I upgraded to Snow Leopard, which exposed the bad disk, and had both the disk replaced and OS re-installed. Still no luck, it simply spins for days. My other Macbook Pro backs up flawlessly every day on the same wireless network. Apple does not seem to know what the problem is, I tried renaming the machine to no avail. Any ideas on what to try next???

    Sometimes there is no answer to the "preparing" issue other than deleting the backups for that computer and starting over with a new backup. But, before that there are several steps that can and should be taken.
    It would be a good idea to first use Disk Utility to check the hard drive on the MacBook Pro that is giving you problems.
    Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    On the left, click the exact name of your hard drive as it appears on your desktop.
    Click Repair Permissions
    The process will take approximately 30-90 minutes depending on how much data you have on your computer.
    Once completed, try a backup again. Be ready to let "preparing" run for a few hours. If no progress after 4 hours, then stop the process and we'll try some more steps.

  • 6/9/11 update old usb keyboard no longer works with macbook pro

    Hi I have been using my old Imac usb keyboard with my macbook pro at work since I got my macbook pro. But as of yesterday I have not been able to use it anymore.  Any suggestions to a fix or do I have to buy a newer keyboard?  I need the numbers pad to entering data.
    Any suggestions would b great.
    Dharma

    Your message would be easier to decode if you had proofread it before posting.
    Does your keyboard work when the mouse is plugged directly into the computer instead of into the keyboard, or does the keyboard not work at all? If not at all, then it sounds as though you're right in guessing that the keyboard isn't getting power for some reason (bad cable? bad connection inside the KB? USB port on computer shut down?) If the KB works when the mouse isn't plugged into it, then the mouse and KB together are demanding more power than the computer's USB port can supply, and neither is getting what it needs when the mouse is connected to the KB. In that case, plug the mouse directly into the computer to use it.
    The USB port in your keyboard probably doesn't put out enough power for the mouse you are using. This is typical of older keyboards, which were designed to power old-style electromechanical mice rather than the laser mice that are commonplace today.

  • HT201240 My administrator login password no longer works on MacBook Pro - what do I do?

    I have not changed my password, the caps lock is not on, I was able to log in this morning, turned off my MacBook, turned it back on this evening and the password is no longer working.  How can I go about fixing this when I am not able to login to my administrator account?
    Thank you!

    I would first try and reset the Admin password by the method shown in the article below.

  • Help: iphoto is no longer working after MacBook Pro was upgraded to OS X Yosemite

    Upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite last week. Everything works fine except iPhoto. It keeps asking for upgrade but keeps showing the upgrade is not available for my apple id.

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the startup drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.

  • Dell p2815q no longer working with Macbook Pro A1398

    Hi,
    Some time ago I bought a dell p2815q monitor. It would work just fine using the display port to thunderbolt connector.
    After some time my Mac Pro simply stopped picking it up. When I connect it, it seems like it tries to display on it but it blinks every couple of seconds and no input is detected on the monitor.
    I've checked that the connector is fine, it simply works with other monitors and have also tried doing a PRAM reset.
    I also checked the display itself and it works like a charm with other non Mac laptops.
    This is becoming very annoying and need to find a solution to the problem. I am running Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Hi, I got the same monitor the other day and there should be no problem getting it to work.
    Use the DP to mini-DP cable supplied with the monitor.
    Make sure this cable is plugged into the correct input DP port in the back of the monitor (not the DP port for daisychaining).
    Make sure the DP input is selected in the inputs menu on screen.
    Plug mini-DP end of the cable into Mac
    Should work ...

  • Flash drive no longer works with MacBook Pro. Now says it is unformatted, but no info what to do and not lose my data. Does not show up despite multiple prior uses on the same computer.

    Upgraded to OS Mavericks in November. Flash drive that worked fine previously with Lion and worked several times with Mavericks. Now says the 8GB jump drive (Lexar) is unformatted. Disk Utility First Aid seem unavailable. It sees the drive, but on the far left left, and when highlighted, nothing can be done with it.
    How do I recover my information or reformat it without losing my data?

    I am MikeMacBP2013. Cannot figure how to reply to Kappy's comment. Kappy, your comment did not really help me. My concern is how to save my data, not wipe and use a $10 USB drive.
    In the past two hours, I wasted most of it trying to use a software program, Disk Drill by Cleverfiles, that offers a "free" version. The free version does not recover your data for you. It is not a free 30 day trial. It is deceptively advetised - it will recover data but you will not see your data untless you pay them almost $100.
    Instead of trying to recover the data on the USB drive, this program ran a recovery on my computer hard drive and any disk image it could find on my computer until I stopped and deleted it. Apparently, it collects and keeps data recovered locked unless you pay for a key to download your data. This is not clearly presented up front. Had I known, I would never have put their software on my computer.
    I need direction to a reliable recovery program that is not this sneaky and deceptive. I stopped it when I discovered it was not doing what I had clicked for it to do, and removed the software.
    I am looking for a recommendation for a program that will do what Apple Disk Utility does not do - restore the formatting that may have been corrupted, or at least recover my data files so I can put them on other portable media.
    I recently installed a CalDigit Thunderbolt Dock to get USB 3.0 on my early 2011 Mac. I suspect this may have contributed to this disk failure but will have to contact their tech support tomorrow.
    Thanks for any suggestions for a reliable free or reasonably priced recovery software that someone can attest from using really works.

  • My lock button no longer works on my ipod touch and now i have all kinds of problems with it freezing and kicking me out of apps. Is there any way to get this fixed and were would i go to get it fixed?

    Please Help!!!! I have an ipod touch 4th gen.  and since the last update the lock button no longer works, this has caused it to have a lot of problems now like freezing all the time, kicking me out of almost all my apps, some times even when if locks on its own its not locked and buttons with be pushed in my pocket, and this causes the battiery to die fast.   I really love my ipod and would like to just get it fix if possible for a reasonable about of money. Anyone know of a place I can get it fixed in Ft Lauderdale Fl area or is there something I can do?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.

    My Apple TV no longer sees my MacBook Pro / Itunes Library.  Apple TV tells me to turn on Home Sharing on my computer, which I have.
    Also:
    1. All other ATV connections are working (Netflix, movie previews, etc.)
    2. I have all the latest updates for ATV and Itunes
    3. Home sharing is turned on for both ATV and MacBook Pro Itunes
    4. I am correctly logged in to my Itunes account on both ATV, and Itunes on the MacBook Pro
    5. Everything had been working perfectly for approximately one year until yesterday.
    I'm not sure what to try next.
    Thanks.

    Thanks.  I just closed Itunes, came back today to check it out and the pull down menu with "Computer" or "Apple TV" was inexplicably back again and everything now works.  I had tried restarting Itunes, the modem, and router before with no luck.  Anyway, it's magically working.
    Thanks.

    I recently upgraded my dual 800 MHz Power PC G4 from 10.3.9 to 10.4.10 and have had several small problems I am trying to work out as follows:
    eject key will not work on apple pro keyboard....tried two other keyboards and none of them worked...you can eject the disc from iTunes and other software driven apps

    You have to hold the eject key for a few seconds unless you are using it in combination with another key.
