Help, how Do I eject this miniature disk out of my iMac?
I unknowingly place a miniature disk into my Mac trying to install a program. It didn't seem to take it in as well as a regular sized disk. It won't seem to eject, I can see a bit of it. I'm sort of convinced to use a small tool to try and fish it out, good idea? .-.
What do you recommend?
Same thing happened to me. I tried tweezers which didn't work and was about to go to Apple when I just tried to insert a normal cd. The normal cd seemed to push the mini DVD in and then the Imac spit it back out. I am not an Apple tech by any means and I dont want to mess up your computer, but it worked for me. Good luck.

How do I eject a dvd disk that will not eject after I have highlighted it and clicked the eject disk in finder file menu?
Complements of Kappy:
Try:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes. -

Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

And don't bother with running any updates unless you really need them or they fix a critical issue relevant to your workflow.

after updating my Macbook Pro retina display to os x yosemite 10.10.2, the mause and track pad locks, and do not respond especially when using the Mac for a long period, please help, how can I solve this, I do not like feel like in windows, so I paid good money for this mack, I feel calm
Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

How Did I Burn This Weird Disk ?
In another post I described how I had come across a weird DVD I had made a year ago that would not play in anything. When put in the Mac and double-clicked it displayed a Video_RM and a Video_TS folder - BOTH EMPTY!
Yet on using "Get Info" it was revealed there was 3.7GB of video on the disk.
PT showed me how to play it by using the "Open Video_TS Folder" command.
However, the other puzzle remains. Why was there a Video_RM and a Video _TS folder both apparently empty?
Also how did I burn this weird disk? It is actually a copy of a standalone DVD Recorder disk.
I believe I used Disk Utility to burn it, but why can I only access the video by using the “Open Video_TS” command in DVD Player?
Ian.It is actually a copy of a standalone DVD Recorder dis
my guess is, this is a non-finalized dvd...
after recording which such a device, in many cases you have to finalize the disk ... that has to be ignited "manually" (on my Pionerr standalone....)
a videoDVD within specs has two folders VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS (which is empty, because only in use for socalled SuperAudio disks....)
inside the video_ts you normally find some .iso and .vob files, which contain the mpeg2 encoded audio+video... (you can rename a .vob to .mp2...)
video_rm seems to be something non-standard..
the "emptyness" is just a sign of your Finder, which has no clue, what this disk contains => the whole file-management is missing... like in a book without directory: the story is in, but you are not able to find a specific chapter...
you should have told us about the "from standalone" in your first post, I could have told you earlier... -

While composing email, keep getting "Unable to save as a draft" every 30 seconds. I've disable auto save and it didn't help.How can I stop this message?
Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my app. This is my last major stumbling block that I have to resolve for this and other forms in the app.
Actually, I did use the Form Wizard for Auto DML to originally create the form. It was great. It created most of the Buttons, Items and Validations automatically (basically most of the page). I just needed to create some Processes and Computations. Two of which were the Processes to update the 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields and 'update_dt' and 'updated_by' fields. The Create process updates the fields just fine.
However, my problem seems to be that the Hidden 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields aren't picking up the values from a record that is being editted. Then when I attempt to save the record those fields are NULL, causing the DB NOT NULL constraint to throw an exception for those fields. In the back of my mind I seem to remember seeing some post stating something to the effect that the information in fields with a Source Type of Database Column is just displayed and does not affect Session State items.
Even with that, I am still wondering just why the 'created_by' Page Item shows the value that is in the DB record being updated, but the 'create_dt" does not (as can be seen in my first posting). It is the 'create_dt' Page Item (:P205_CREATE_DT) not having the DB records 'create_dt' info in it that appears to be the problem.
Thanks,

How do I make a boot disk for my new iMac?
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this entire command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume
/Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again. Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time. -
I made a purchase with my debit card on The Simpson Tapped out game, And now my game won't open. It just kicks me out every time I click on it. How do I fix this problem with out deleting my app?
Personally, I would never use a debit card online, for security reasons. If your card gets hacked its your money that is stolen. At least with a credit card it is the card providers money that is stolen.
Anyway, I would delete the app and re-install. If you paid for the app in the first place you will be able to re-install free of charge. Also, the app should allow the in-app purchase to happen again as it should recognise that you have already purchased it previously.
Finally, it might be that the 3G doesnt have as much ram as more recent models of iphone and you may have applications running in the background that are preventing the app to function with the in-app purchase unless you shut down any apps eating all you memory that are running in the background. Shut-down these apps (and the simpson tap out app) by exiting to your home screen and double-tapping the home button to show what apps are running in the background. press and hold any of the open apps until it starts shaking. close all the apps down. exit then re-launch the app.
good luck. -

How do I eject the install disk on the mini mac?
In wiping the mini mac, it keeps looping to the erase and install. It won't allow me to shut down or eject the disk to put in the program disk. When the screen gets to the Install Mac OS X, it won't show any disk (the Mac Mini) to install it. I used the Utilities to erase and install, but I can't go any further. It should install with a system lower than the OS X Yosemite.
