How can I eject a small cd from my laptop?

How can I eject a small sized cd from my drive?  It was only about 3". Help!

Shut down the MBP and disconnect all peripherals and the AC adapter from it. hold it up on end with the drive slot toward the floor and gently shake it up and down in hopes that the disc will eventually find its way out through the slot. If this doesn't work out, take the machine to an Apple Store or authorized service provider to have the drive removed and the disc removed from it. This work won't be covered by your warranty; you'll have to pay for it.
Take the time to read the manual that came with your MBP. It specifically instructs you not to insert nonstandard CDs or DVDs into the drive, and there's a lot of other information in it that you need to know.

    How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.

    The key constraint for Home Sharing in this context is that both PCs need to be on the same wifi network. So once you get out of range of the wifi network covering your home PC, the laptop is not going to be able to Home Share.
    Have you considered importing your iTunes music to the laptop? Then you could listen to a local copy of the music on the laptop while you're on the road. (You can do the import via home sharing when both computers are on the same wifi network.)

  • How can i eject a bad cd from macbook air external drive?

    I have a Macbook Air and an external superdrive. On the mac keyboard doesn't have an eject button.. how to eject a bad cd?
    Thanks in advance!

    On the late 2010, there is an eject button. You might have a newer model. Either way:
    (1) Minimize any open programs you have up and running.
    (2) Drag the SuperDrive icon to the trashcan and it will eject    
    (3) If the icon isn't on the desktop, find it by opening finder and right-click select eject or drag it to the trashcan

  • How can I transfer a purchased app from my laptop to my Mac Pro?

    Okay, here's the problem: I always sync and backup my iPhone on my Mac Pro. However, I recently bought an app from iTunes on my laptop. Both my Mac Pro and my laptop are authorized for my account. However, when I plug my iPhone 4 into my laptop to add the app I purchased (in the usual way, by clicking on the App tab and dragging the newly purchased app into my iPhone home window), iTunes asks me if I really want to delete all of my other purchased apps (forty-something of them). Of course, I DON'T want to do that, but I can't figure out a way to transfer the purchased app from iTunes on my laptop to iTunes on my Mac Pro (where all my other apps live). I called Applecare, and they suggested that I copy all of the folders from my Mac Pro/Users/Me/Home/Library/iTunes/ folder to the matching folder on my laptop, which I did, but to no avail. Do I have to buy the app all over again (on my Mac Pro or directly on my iPhone)????
    It just occurred to me that I might be able to back up my iPhone on my laptop in addition to my Mac Pro, after which I might be able to add the recently purchased app without a problem. But if the answer is so simple, why didn't the applecare person suggest this? Has anyone else run into this conundrum?

    If you bought an app, if you try to buy it again it will just download the app again. You do not get double billed for the app. So you could down load the app again on your iphone or on your desktop. Alternatively you could use Home Sharing to sync purchased apps, movies, music between the computers. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 explains how to enable/use home sharing.
    I hope that helps

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library from my laptop to an external drive connected to my time capsule? I want to be able to access the music from several devices by wifi and am a newbie to network stuff.

    I have a 1TB Time capsule, I would like to attach a USB drive to the Time Capsule and transfer my iTunes Library to it so I can run itunes from wifi. I am new to network stuff. My current iTunes library is on a USB drive velcro'd to the back of my Macbook - rather inconvenient, the USB port is loose. The music files are external but the library files with ratings/play counts are in the iTunes folder. Advice please? Be gentle and assume I know nothing please!
    Thanks
    scott

    Setting it up the way you have with the library on the internal and just the media on the external makes it a lot more tricky to move things around. If it was all on the external you could do in the time it takes to copy the files plus about 20 seconds.
    You can use the same library file, except in that file are references pointing to the media files on the USB drive.  Are you planning on doing this with the same USB drive that you are using right now>?  It is possible it may work.  If the configuration is that you have SongA on USB drive Fred, as long as the drive remains named Fred then you should be able to move it to a different point of attachment.  If you are planning on using a different USb drive you can try renaming the new USB drive to the exact same name as the existing one and maybe trick iTunes into not noticing the difference.
    This is where having as much detail as possible when posting an issue is helpful so we don't have to consider every possible configuration.

  • How can I import one iweb site from my laptop to my iMac, which already has four sites built on it?

    I created a website on my laptop using iweb, and would like to export the project so I can import it into the iWeb on my iMac, which already has four other sites that I created in it.  I can't seem to find any info or threads on being able to import just one project INTO my iWeb folder when there are already other sites I do not want to lose...anyone know how I can do this?  I can only find info on exporting and importing the entire DOMAIN file...
    Any help much appreciated.

    Use iWebSites to add and merge the domain file(s) :

  • Please how can I print out my book from the laptop I have adobe digital edition and the print is faded

    Sorry but I can not print from Adobe Digital edition. I bought and down loaded a book and now can not seem to print as the print request is faded out. Can someone help me thanks

    Hi Cherin,
    Printing a phone book (or an 'Address Book" as ontacts Help refers to it) is done directly from Contacts, and does not involve Pages. Details are available in Contacts' Help files. Try searching 'print phone book' (without the quotes).
    Your question will be better served in the Mail & Contactssection of the Mac OS & System Software community.When reposting there, be sure to describe the snags you've run into so that people responding can oncentrate on those without having to repeat what you already know.

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • HT3702 how can i remove the authorization hold from my card...

    how can i remove the authorization hold from my card

    You can try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store
    How much was the amount ? A 'normal' holding charge is a small amount (e.g. equivalent to about $1), and usually happens after you add or change credit card details on your account. Here in the UK it can take a few working days for it to disappear (so a weekend can extend the elapsed time).
    Edit : I don't know what a non-liability certificate is and/or whether Apple can do one.

  • I'm trying to install bootcamp and XP, but when keyboard does't work. How can I eject the disc?

    How can I eject the disc and start over and get into the OSX system?

    XP isn't supported in BootCamp, you'll have to use the free VirualBox or one of the other commercial virtual machine softwares to run it in a window on OS X. The performance isn't going to be good enough for 3D games or heavy CPU ones, but good enought for most general use software.
    Apple doesn't supply the hybrid MBR and hardware drivers required to run XP in BootCamp any longer. If you were on Snow Leopard 10.6 it's still possible, but not Lion or Mountain Lion.
    This is what you do to resolve your problem.
    1: Hold the power button down to force a hardware shutdown (emergency use only use the Apple Menu > shutdown all other times)
    2: Press and hold the option/alt key on the keyboard.
    3: Boot the computer and enter Startup Manager
    4: Keep pressing the eject key on the keyboard, the disk will eject.
    5: Select OS X to boot from by clicking on the volume and the little arrow that appears.
    6: Set Startup Disk in System Preferences  to OS X.
    7: Head to BootCamp Utility and use it to remove the BootCamp partition.
    8: If you used Disk Utility, then use that to remove the second partition and absorb the remaining space back into the OS X partition.
    9: Install VirtualBox, if on 10.8 you migh have to control/right click and "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls for the installer and/or program at least once.
    10: Read the instructions how to setup and use VirtualBox.

  • How can i eject a mini disc?

    I inserted a mini-disc on my mac and now I can't see it anywhere and it is stuck
    How can I eject it?

    Well, you can try:
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      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.
    But this only works if it's a tray drive. If it's a slot drive all you can do is try to shake it out or take it in for service.

    Not clear whether this via device or you have gone to "My account" on Nokia Store upon PC and added credit card there, in which case only Nokia account password would then be needed to authorise payment.
