Help! kids stuck cards in cd slot

My boys stuck those stupid fake credit cards we all get in the mail into my cd rom slot. I've pulled out all that I can, but now the machine whines when it's turned on and will no longer recognize cd's. Is there any hope for the machine? (Everything else on the old mac works great.)

Take it apart and remove the cards.
There are some take apart guides online, including this one with the Apple tech repair manual.

Getting as far as the CDROM drive should not be too difficult.

I got my SD card stuck into the cd slot, is there any way of getting it out myself?
Given the potential expense I would even buy a brand new Shop-Vac if necessary.

I inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out

Inadverdently inserted SD card into CD slot how do I get it back out help please

Happened to me too. Just before I went on holiday and I was clearing off my SD card for my camera. I left it there until I got back (having to buy a new card at the airport) then did a quick search. Found this clip on youTube featuring an L-shaped piece of cardboard trick which worked perfectly for me on second attempt.
You've got to really blame Apple for the design of the machine when you consider the sheer amount of people who have made this mistake. At least I won't make it again.

HT204384 When i put the sd card in the slot nothing happens-why?

Help!

What were you expecting to happen? Show on the desktop? Show in the sidebar? Start a program to grab photos?
You have to enable the ones you want. The first two are in Finder > Preferences > (General and Sidebar, respectively).
The third one is controlled inside Image Capture, but the option won't show up unless there is a card in the slot, and you select the card in the DEVICES list, and you click the little reveal trianle at the bottom of that column so it points down. That will give you a popup labeled "Connecting this camera opens:" and a list of applications on your computer that can import photos (one being Image Capture itself).

SD card in DVD slot

I have (trying to 2 things at the same time) inserted an SD card in the DVD drive and can not see it any advice, the machine is a imac 3i

First problem is that SD cards go into their own slot. If you put it into the CD/DVD slot, you need to extract it. Do a search in these forums for sd card in dvd slot and peruse the hits.

HELP! Graphics Card

Hey,
I have an Apple Powermac G5 Single 1.8. I need a new video card to better run Motion 2 with, and I found a decent one for a good price, but wasn't sure if it would work with my Mac.
It's the ATI RADEON 9800 XT 256MB.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Is this card that you've found labeled as being a Mac card? If it's not, it won't work. Mac video cards require a different on-card ROM than the PC versions do.
Assuming it is a Mac card, the following thread summarizes the Motion performance with various cards: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2345479&#2345479

Help making holiday cards -- do I have a bug in iPhoto 11?

I'm attempting to make holiday cards with photos and text but when I go to 'buy' it says I am using default text and then says I have text or photo boxes that are empty that MUST be filled before I finish. Can someone help?

Each card theme has text boxes that you can fill in or not with text of your choice. If you don't put in any text you will get that error message. The cards have different layout, some with text boxes and some without. Check to see what layout you're using and select the one without a text box or enter text into the text box.
Happy Holidays

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

How do you remove a disc which is stuck in the disc slot

how do you remove a CD/DVD which is stuck in the disc slot?

Try restarting, immediately press the mouse button (left button if it's a two-button mouse), keep it held down. That's a hardware-based instruction to the Mac to eject all removable media.
If that doesn't work, consider taking the machine in to an Apple Store or AASP for repair.

If you mean that you have been instructed to contact iTunes support, then will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to contact the iTunes Store.
If that does not answer your question, try posting in your native language, or find a friend with a better command of English to help you ask your question here.
