Help! How do you get the cd drive bay out of the Pismo?

I just bought a new LG CD-RW/DVD drive (hope it was a good choice), but I can't find any info on how to get the old one out and put the new one in.
There is lots of data on the four easy screws to remove for replacing the drive once it is out of the laptop, but no data on how to get to it while it is still under the keyboard and inside the Pismo?

Little Fish,
A properly working lever will have resistance as it pushes the whole drive mechanism out of the bay. It looks like the lever opens about 45º on my Wallstreet before it starts to eject, then reaches a full 90º with the drive protruding about 1/2 inch...you can then grab the drive and pull it on out.
If the drive feels like it is not going to move after applying moderate pressure, disconnect all power and cables (only so you do not damage them), turn the 'book so the drive bay hangs over the edge of a table. You can now get your fingernails under the back edge of the drive on the bottom and help pull it out while using the lever.

How do you get wireless on your windows side of the computer

Hey,
I have a macbook and i use a air port express for my wireless internet on my mac side of my computer how do you get your wireless internet set up on the windows side of your computer. i can't figure out how put it on there at all so im guessing that there some thing wrong with boot camp. I'm 13 so make it simple

Louser500:
Welcome to Apple Forums.
Did you install the boot camp drivers as soon as you installed Windows on your boot camp partition? If not then:
1) Boot up in Windows
2) Insert your Leopard Installation CD in the disk drive
3) Windows should automatically begin installing the Boot Camp Windows drivers which includes the wireless connection.
4) Once the process is completed then you should have access to the wireless connection (Ensure that you choose the right network to connect, the security type and password which will the same as your Mac OSx side).

How can I get my hard drive icon back on the desktop

I just erased my hard drive on my Intel MacBook getting ready to give it to my daughter. I had the Snow Leopard install disc in the drive and used Disc Utility to erase the drive. I then installed Snow Leopard and everything went smoothly without a hitch.
Other than -- the icon for the hard drive is not on the desktop! I can open a Finder window and see everything that should be on the drive after an erase and reinstall, but the drive is not there.
How can I get it back?
TIA
I am so sorry! This question has been answered more than once. I searched but didn't find it. When I posted this, however, the list of similar questions that pops up next to the message sent me to a simple fix and now all is well.
Again, sorry for having cluttered up the board with this question.
Thanks.

How do I get my movies in and out of the iPad2?

Please help.
I know that the Ipad2 can take pictures and movies. I also know that you can get iPhoto and iMovie for the iPad.
I also know things can be sent to YouTube and Facebook.
But..
How do you get the movies and photos you shoot with a camcorder or still camera into the iPad2 so that you can work on them in iMovie?
And then...how do you get them from the iPad2 to a Mac so that you can make DVDs?
Also, if you complete a movie in iMovie for iPad2, can you import that finished movie and work on it some more with iMovie for Mac or FCPX?
It may be clear, but I am not finding it. Hopefuly their is an APP that will allow drag and drop.
Thank you very much.

Depending on the format of the video, you can use the camera connection kit and connect USB cable to your camera, if the iPad does not recoginize the video format, you will have to convert them and then transfer them using the SD card or USB stick. Then to get them off you can do so several ways, either iPhoto or iMovie on your Mac, yes you can edit the movie in FCP.
If you are on Windows you could use a service like Dropbox and upload them in app and they would get moved to the folder on your comoputer, this also works on a Mac the same way. I find Dropbox very resourceful and you can even upload them to your iPad like this also. Move them to the folder > open Dropbox > click your file > then choose "open in" which ever app on your iPad you want to open it in.

How do you get a jump drive to work on MacBook pro?

I have a new MacBook pro and I am trying to access work from a jump drive and my computer is not recognizing the drive. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or how to fix it? Thanks!

Have you tried the other USB port? Do you have any other USB drive to connect to see if the port is not working? When the jump drive is connected open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Is the drive listed in the DU sidebar?

How do you get it to show a picture of the albumn your on

As you can see on the main advertisement for the 20gb color ipod, there is a picture of the albumn of the song your listening to, how do you assign pictures to certain bands or albumns?

iPhoto??
Jack,
Here are a couple of methods.Go to <a href="http://images.google.com/Ó>Google Image Search</a> and type in (say) "The Beatles", and click on search images. That brings up 327,000 images!! You could be more specific and just type in "Abbey Road", if that was what you were looking for. Double click on a picture you like, then at the top of that page click on "see full size image". When you get that image, simply copy/paste it into the space for album artwork in iTunes. Make sure you select the album in the browser of iTunes before you copy/paste. You'd be surprised what Google Images can bring up. There are literally millions, and even obscure album artwork can be found.
In the unlikely event that Google canÕt find an image, you can also get artwork from Amazon.
If youÕre happy using images from Amazon, and donÕt want to copy/paste, then http://www.yvg.com/itunesartimporter.shtmlÓ>Art Importer is a nice free program to do it for you.

How do you get Firebox to save a bookmark to the last bookmark folder you used?

In previous versions of Firefox, when I went to save a bookmark, it use to pull up the previous bookmark file that I used. This is very handy if you're bookmarking several websites into the same category instead of having to search for the same file in Bookmarks. How do we get Bookmarks to remember the last file used to add the bookmark to?

Eren,
Yes. When you finish editing the fields on the Info tab, click "OK" and the artist, name, year, etc will be written to the file itself.
So will the artwork if you have pasted it into the Artwork tab (but not if you have gotten it via the Get Album Artwork command).
To make sure the info really did get written, play the same file in another player.
Also, if you have anything on your computer that will undo the changes, make sure to disable it. In particular, go into Windows Media Player on the Tools > Options > Library tab, and uncheck anything that is capable of editing your tags (Rename..., Retrieve..., etc). Otherwise, WMP may undo the edits you make in iTunes.

How do you get a merged CHM to open in the same window as the master? (RH8)

We have a problem where everytime you click on a topic from a merged CHM in the master TOC, it opens a new window exlusive to the chm where the topic resides. We have more than one master chm and this is the only one that does it, it is also the only one that was created from RH8, although the others have been updated with RH8. We've compared the Window and SS Layout properties with a parent chm that doesn't behave this way and haven't been able to find any differences. Is there something we can do to have all the topics whether merged or from the parent, open in the same window?

I think somehow the last time I had this problem I stumbled on a solution and wasn't sure what fixed it, but the problem reared its head again, and it was back to the drawing board. Now I think we have a solution, but we don't know for sure what created the problem. Although we're pretty sure the problem has something to do with creating a new window when there is already and existing window.
What we found. This problem couldn't be fixed in the SSLayout. We found that the Properties | Advanced | Window setting for individual topics in the TOC had been erased. This Window drop-down selection lets you choose a window other than <Default> if more than one window exists. If not changed by the user, it should stay at <Default>, but somehow the setting was blank on several topics, probably due to the creation of a new window, and maybe some other values being changed. This is probably a bug in RH8, but I don't know about other versions.
How to fix it.
First you have to isolate which merged .chm file (child) has the problem, I believe I did this by removing one child .chm at a time from the Parent project and then seeing if the parent .chm worked correctly after generation.
Once you've found the offending .chm (there may be more than one), open the project and the TOC for the .chm that is a problem.
Go to the TOC pod > Topic Page Properties (right-click on a Topic in the TOC and select Properties) > Advanced > Options panel and ensure that a value exists in the Window: field. If the field is empty, you have a problem. Click the drop-down and select <Default>, even if your .chm window displays in drop-down.
I don't believe there's an option to set a window as the default when you create it, so if there's more than one window, who knows what the <Default> option is drawing from, unless <Default> points to the window you have selected in the SSLayout, which I think is the case.
Find all Topics that have this problem and fix them. Note: you cannot fix this by going to topic Properties in the Topic List (or from r-click Properties in a topic), you have to do it in the TOC.
Save all changes, generate the child .chm, and then replace the old child .chm with the new one.
Open the parent .chm and check to see if all topics open in the parent window. Your Done
