Help!  Mini disk not recognized and won't eject!!!!

I just inserted a mini dvd disk into my Macbook Pro and now it doesn't show up at all and I can't eject it!
How can I do it???
Thanks so much for your help!!

Ok I did the same thing just before I came to this forum to see if I should be using the Mini CD. I was able to eject using the key on the keyboard after pushing it in a little with another full size CD.
So this is the first slot drive I have had in a computer, can I make a exact copy on my PC and then use that?
New to Mac. I am trying after 28 yrs on the PC

  • Hi! I've been using Goldmine contact management software for many years and syncing with Companion Link successfully, then ITunes to the IPhone. Suddenly, my IPhone is not recognized and won't sync. I see a message telling me to dock the phone? Any ideas?

  • IPod touch 4th gen is not recognized and will not charge. Tried 3 cords. Help!

    We have tried updating, restarting both the iPod and the Mac, 3 cords and 3 different connecting sights (computer, car, and treadmill).  Not recognized and not charging. 

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

  • Shuffle not recognized and can't restore

    I recently "Up"grade to itunes 7.0. Now my shuffle is not recognized and it's telling me to restore. When I try to restore it's telling me the software is not found. When I go to the apple site to download the software it tells me the ipod resource was not found. Any thoughts...
    Help, please.

    I have always had this problem it has never ever synched. I feel i have wasted my money. I have to bother some one else if I want to change the songs. Kinda pointless. There is something to be said about the old days of popping a tape in recording music and poping it straight in ur walkman w out all the bs and sometimes I still do. I dont need all the bells & whistles of Music videos & all the other "benefits" they offer. If they really are "cool" this would be a non issue. Half the time my computer won't open programs. If I had wanted something that requires so much babysitting I would have bought a pc for a quarter of the price and w out the slick marketing campaign and i dont care if it is an ipod or any mp3 player, I just want it to function w out the BS. I dont care what it is called as long as it works w out the bs. I need functionality. When music was about music and nothing else. Thanks. I recieved a notice from Tekserve, the only Apple retailer in NYC until last year, saying "Sorry for the short notice, but you have 2 weeks to register for Applecare and it will cost you $150" At the time I did not have the money or time. So far I feel Mac is for middle class & rich people w alot of time & money to spare. I slaved in restaurants to buy this pc etc not to mention lost my job because my work was forced to close because of 9/11, used my savings and had to start again, and it has added up to a glorified internet connection.

Other articles say that the error is with the iPhone, I need help!! Can anybody offer some advice on what to do?

    I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

  • Itouch - USB device not recognized and Itouch now no longer works

    I'm now on my 3rd Itouch since December all due to the same problem. All seemed to be going well with my 3rd replacement Itouch. Having loaded most of my cd collection into ITunes the night before I was going on holiday I synced my Itouch. Some sort of automatic download took place I think from Microsoft and suggested my drivers were being updated. Next thing I got message to restore my Itouch to factory settings. I did this and all the problems I had with my previou Itouch's started again.
    When I now plug my Itouch into my laptop it says "USB device not recognized" and the Itouch will not switch on. I've done everything including reinstalling Itunes, holding down the power and home key but to no avail. Looks like I'm going to have to send my Itouch back again. I have a suspicion that a Microsoft download is corrupting the drivers. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. I really like my Itouch but the fact it keeps failing leads me to wonder if I should opt for something else.

    I had success with the holding down the keys and connecting to usb and using itunes to restore firmware like they show here

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ---   disk not recognized by this computer  ----

    I have the G4 tower with a dvd burner, and I recently
    bought a floppy drive read/write. [t-max? external teac]
    Files which were prior saved onto floppy get an error msg:
    ' disk not recognized by this computer ' 'format now? '
    these were claris works files, saved via apple IIg onto
    apple formatted 1.4 mb disks, which are now un readable.
    suggestions ?
    oh .. the unit IS working OK to save jpegs, claris 5 files now.. on my current system.....
    but floppys previously [1990's] formatted are not readable.

    Reader Gerrie E. Cooper has a stash of old floppies that contain fonts from Adobe, Agfa, and other companies. It’s bad enough that the fonts are stored on this prehistoric media, but said media is of the 800KB variety. He wonders what course to take.
    I’m afraid that the answer is to find an old Mac (an SE on up to a beige Power Mac G3 will do the trick), insert the floppies into that Mac’s drive, create disk images of the floppies, and then copy the images to the current Mac. Third-party USB floppy drives support 1.4MB HD floppies but not double-density 800KB disks.

    There are several options for configuring how Captivate records. It might be helpful for us to assist in troubleshooting if you were to record the process of what you to before recording. You could use Jing for that.
