Finder showing a "CD" even though there is no CD in the drive?

Several days ago I went through some old, unlabeled CD's to see what was on them. Most of them just had some music, a few of them were blank. Since then my finder has been showing "Untitled CD" listed in the same category as my documents, applications, desktop, etc. To the right there is a small circle with yellow and black pie wedges. (Please excuse the highly technical terminology ). I am unable to click on either the label or the symbol and when I right click the only option I get is "Open Sidebar Preferences." I have tried inserting then ejecting a different CD and I have also rebooted the computer but it doesn't go away. Any thoughts?

Hi s,
Click on the desktop > Finder menu > Preferences > General > uncheck CDs
Click on the desktop > Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar > uncheck CDs
I don't know if a restart is needed, but I would. Set prefs back up the way you want and see if it's gone.

Can't expand my data partition even though there's free space on the drive

Hi there
I recently purchased a 120gb SSD to put in my mac mini. In preparation for this, I created a second partition on my drive as a data drive where I will store things in order to make a time machine backup with the 120gb drive. Everything went as planned, except now, I cannot expand my data partition to use the whole disk. Below is a screen capture of what I'm talking about:
To accomplish putting my OS on only 120GB of hard drive, I've made symbolic links for most of the folders in my ~/ folder
This is what the ~/ Folder looks like on my Macintosh HD partition
This is where these files are actually located
As far as I can gather, the only way I can combine these partitions now is to re-format the entire drive, which as you can see would cause me many problems.
Does anyone know how to expand a partition "upwards" for lack of a better term? I'm fairly new to Mac, so any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no way to expand the partition upwards. As you noted, you would need to either start afresh, or simply find a good use for the first partition.

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?

Text messages disappear from 1 sender before I can read but app still shows as unread even though there is no message

I have an iphone 5. When I receive text messages from 1 person (another iphone user) I receive the alert but the message disappears. Also my imessage app shows I have an unread message but the message is not there. I can send text messages to this person but imessages will not work. I am wondering if the issues in on my phone or the other persons. I have no other issues with any other contacts and according the to other person they have no other issues. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same thing happen today. The solution seemed to be to open a few of my most recent text messages and manually delete some of them. Even though, those messages were already marked as read.
It worked for me and the count cleared. Hope this helps!

I have a new computer and have downloaded some new CD's to my music Library. When synching the new songs will not download even though there is abundant room on the Ipod and the new songs are checked. Could this be a Windows 8 issue?

I have purchased another computer with the Windows 8 OS. When trying to synch the Ipod to capture some new music I have recently downloaded, the new songs will not show up on my IPod even though I have checked each one to synch. Any ideas?

I have a syncing issue involved with putting music on my iphone i am also using windows 8 so who knows?...

My DVD drive on my IMAC will not allow me to load a disc, even though there is no DVD in the disc slot.

My IMAC will not allow me to load a DVD, even though the disc drive is empty. Any ideas as to what I should do to resolve the problem
Thanks

Sounds like you have a newer iMac than this forum covers. The newer ones have a bar or "fence" that, on detecting the drive has failed. moves the bar to block the slot so no media can be inserted (to avoid damage or loss of a disk).
You will need a new optical drive--contact an Apple retail Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

Try resetting your iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Since updating my bookmark toolbar is not showing any bookmarks even though the toolbar is there?

Hi,
On my Apple Mac version... 2 things have changed which I don;t understand why?
1) Bookmarks do not show up on the "bookmark toolbar", even though there is a "tick" showing next to it on the menu - > View>Toolbars>Bookmark Toolbars (ticked)
I have unticked.. then re ticked.. but this doesn't fix it.. even though you can see the area where it goes drops up or down according to whether it is ticked or not.
So I cant drag a URL to the Bookmark toolbar anymore. @#$!
2) My other problem is (which probably relates to the same issue) I have heaps of bookmarks on the the bookmarks toolbar... and the overflow goes to the drop down tab on the right hand side o tab area. This only shows current open tabs now.. I want my overflow bookmarks under that drop down tab like they use to...
Can anyone help?

TS1362 some songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song.

Songs quit in the middle of the track even though there is time showing. It goes right to the next song. Can I fix this or recover the full song?

I just found out how to solve the problem today
Go to the original location of the song. Meaning, if the song file is on the desktop then go there and individually click the songs and they'll play on Itunes perfectly fine
I'm not sure why this happened but I hope that works for you!

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.
See also Make a split library portable for some thoughts on best practice when it comes to organizing the library and media files.

Does toggling CC off & back on bring it back?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????
