Help with Ejecting disk after bad update

My MBP froze during an update and it won't start up.
All I have is a friends install disk with me and that will get me to Terminal.
I can't get the disk to eject since it is the startup disk.
PLease help!!

Do an Archive and Install on your internal hard drive so that you can boot to your internal drive (what is the purpose of getting the disk out if you can't boot!). After you install Leopard (remember to check preserve user settings!), you can eject the startup disk. Archive and Install only changes the system folder, so your applications, documents, music, movies, settings, desktop background, etc. will not change. Remember to run Software Update and install all of the updates. My advice is to not have any other applications open. Hopefully, everything installs correctly and your problem is gone.

Please help with ejecting disk from MBP that won't book

I was in the middle of installing a Leopard update when my MBP froze.
Since I had to tunr it off, it now won't start up.
I tried a friends OSX install disk to get it working and it won't install.
Please help me eject the disk.
No matter what I do I cannot get it out.
IS there a Terminal prompt to eject it.
The install disks won't allow the command under disk utilities because it is starting up with that disk.
PLease help.

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

Needing help with crashing PhotoShop after Yosemite OS Update

I updated to the new Yosemite OS and was using PhotoShop CS5.1, and now the program crashes after trying to open more than one photo at a time. I have cleared all settings and updated everything I can update. I can't revert back to my old OS because it wasn't backed up before doing so. Is there a solution to this?

Chris, I was not able to help with this Yosemite CS3 problem, but I did ask for a crash report. If you have time can you go over it?

Why doesnt foxyspider work with 26.0 after auto update

I was using foxyspider successfully for several months until firefox auto updated to version 26. After the update it will no longer download. All other functions work but files will not be saved. A new page will open and thumbnails are visible, but when the option to save files manually or select all files is chosen and a location is selected to download, nothing happens. Again, it worked properly with the previous version of firefox.. I have contacted the developer of foxyspider twice but have received no reply. If it does not work anymore, I will have to give it a poor rating. Before firefox 26.0 foxy spider was 10 of 10 but no it is a big zero.

Hello rickster_too,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support. I'm sorry that the Foxyspider developer has not gotten back to you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension?
It looks like the developer isn't very active on his social media channels, but you might try reaching out there.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxyspider/
And there are a number of other addons that you can try that will work with FF26. Here's a list of similar addons that Mashable put together.

Please let us know if this helps.

Ejecting ipod after photo update

I have exactly the same problem on my i Pod. Any help please.

Problems with LG Enact after software update to KitKat

After the update, I seem to have
1) Battery charging issues. Problems charging past 96% (or at least appears that way on the notifications bar on my phone). Have had to unplug and/or restart phone to complete the charge and sometimes it doesn't always work.
2) Slower 4G speeds. Often going down to 3G or 1X
3) Phone seems sluggish overall going from app to app and also when typing on the keyboard
4) Freezing when using wifi or phone data plan.
I've googled these problems and appears that other phones have been having one or more of these issues as well. Any ideas on how to fix these issues?

If you've googled, then you likely have seen some of the suggested "fixes". Have you tried:
1) Check your network settings - be sure it'[s set to LTE/CDMA - I've noticed that updates and resets on my phones tend to revert to Global which results in glitchy behavior, at least for me. Resetting to LTE/CDMA and restarting helps.
2) Run a system cache clear, it won't affect any of your data or setting but WILL clear up unused fuiles and processes that may be slowing things down and causing the sluggishness you see.
Performing a wipe cache partition removes any temporary files that may be causing an issue with the device. All personal files and settings are not affected by this option.
Power the device off.
Press and hold the Volume Up and Down button then press the Power button.
When presented with the Boot Mode Selection Menu, release all buttons.
Press Volume Down button to select 'Recovery' then press the Volume Up button.
From the Droid triage screen:
Press and hold the Volume down button.
Press and release the Volume up button.
Release the Volume down button.
Select wipe cache partition then press the Power button.
Use Volume keys to navigate options.
Select reboot system now then press the Power button.
Use Volume keys to navigate options.
3) FDR - Factory Data Reset - be sure all your contacts, photos, etc are backed up - if you use Google to store contacts and auto back up photos and music it should already be backed up. Once you do the reset, restore from Google, and selectively reinstall your apps. This is a last resort, but it can clear out a lot of accumulated gunk.
Hope this helps.

Instant crash with USB headphones after Security Update 2007-007 install

Hi all,
I'm having problems with my Mini after installing the 2007-007 security update. Specifically I get the grey panic screen of death almost immediately after I plug in my Sennheiser USB headphones. It doesn't seem to matter which USB port I plug it into, I get the panic screen immediately. It also appears to happen only on my mac mini, I have a 1st gen. Macbook Pro that is unaffected.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or whether I'll just have to wait for an update to rectify this.

Same exact problem with MacBookPro and usb headphones sennheiser pc35 usb.
The same headphones work flawlessly on a Powerbook G4 15inch 1.67GHz.
Any suggestions ?

Can any one help with new iOS 7.1 update?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded the iOS 7.1 update and it has being causing problems with the iPhone 4s. The problems are as follows;
No Wi-Fi connection all, and in full range of a connection (If and when I connect its for 10 seconds and gone again)
Battery Life depleting quickly
iPhone freezes constantly
iPhone getting extremely hot when not in use.
Is there anything that I can do that can help with this or will I have to wait for the next iOS update?

If I restore as new without the backup & everything seems to be fine, I assume I would then have to restore it from my latest backup in iTunes in order to get all (or at least most) of my data back.
From what I have read, it looks like at least the music I have on my iPhone 4S that I put there from a CD I own would not be in my backup. That is not a major problem, since it is only 1 CD.
It also seems like the iTunes backup is more complete than the iCloud backup (I do have both).
So, I should probably be restoring from that backup.
Is there anything else that is not backed up in an iTunes backup that I should consider before I do that?
When I backup in iTunes (or even in iCloud), some items not backed up?
Wouldn't I then have to re-install those items that are not in my backups?
I have a Medical app from my local ambulance operator where I have taken a ton of time to input all of my medical information going back numerous years. I just got tired of some medical person constantly asking me for information one never really makes a point of remembering. Now, I have all of that information in my iPhone 4S.
There is no way I would want to reinstall that app & re-input all of that information again.
I also put a lot of "lists" in the Notes area on my iPhone 4S.
I understand that is also something that is not backed up.
These are just 2 examples.
I also have other items that I am under the impression also are not backed up.
Losing any of that information would be a huge burden to recover.
I am willing to take a chance with some items that are not backed up to either iTunes nor iCloud.
But, knowlingly doing something that may lose that information is not something I am willing to do.
OR, am I just not understanding what is and is not backed up in iTunes or iCloud & what I could potentially lose?

Networking with other computers after xp updates stops

will networking with other computers be possible , safely after xp updates stops?

None of the functionality of Windows XP will change. Everything you can do today you will be able to do next month. The only thing that is different is the fact that there will no longer be updates issued for XP. If you
are doing ONLY internal networking with no internet access, you have nothing to worry about. If you have internet access, then you will need to be especially certain that the anti-virus is up to date, and you have a good firewall running.
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

Problems with monitor/resolution after software update

I installed the latest security update tonight, and now my monitor no longer properly works with my mini. I have a Dell 2005FPW. I was using 1680x1050 resolution with no problems. When I rebooted after the update, I noticed my resolution had been changed... and now the mac only detects my display as a "VGA display" and I can't select that resolution any more! The monitor still works fine with my PC.
How can I get my 1680x1050 back??

Do you have a KVM switch to share your monitor between your Mac and your PC? I was getting this problem when I got one of these so my new Mac could share my monitor etc with my old one but found a way round it. In System Preferences -> Displays, tick the 'Show displays in menu bar' box. Then click on 'Detect displays' from the drop down menu. The screen will go blue for a moment and the computer will recognise the monitor for what it is.
