Restart the computer and hold down the trackpad down.
It will take a while.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button. Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture. How do I fix?
I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button. The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload. It has never done that before. It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open. I have to force quit aperture.
Any ideas would be appreciated. -
How can I force eject a dvd from the MBA superdrive?
Had to cancel a dvd burn midstream and shut down. Now the superdrive won't mount on the desktop, nor will the eject button make it spit out the disc.
Any ideas? I love the fact that this thing is so minimal it doesn't have a pinhole where you can manually eject the disc. Very cool.There is one possibility. Holding down the trackpad button while starting up is supposed to force eject all removable media. You can try this. Some also have had success by holding the C key down.

How can I force eject a stuck CD, which won't load, from my Intel iMac?
It's a library CD, and I susect the barcode sticker on the top is causing the CD to be stuck. This has happened a time or two before, but usually the CD will load and then not be able to eject. This time, the CD isn't loaded-- in Disk Utility, the DVD drive panel says in constant rotation "Waiting for the drive/Waiting for a disc to be inserted" as I hear the disc making noise.
I've tried restarting, restarting while holding the right mouse button, the eject button, and the C key, restarting with option and then hitting eject, sticking in a credit card on either side of the CD and hitting eject... can't think of anything else to try. I'd love a way to fix it myself, because dragging a 27" iMac into the Apple Store with toddler in tow is not an appealing prospect.
(iMac is November 2009 vintage, 27", Intel.)Mmm, stuck for other ideas but maybe shutting the Mac down to let it cool right down and then starting when the Mac is cold with the mouse depressed could be worth a shot.
Maybe someone else will have other ideas, but I fear it might be a trip to the workshop. Good luck. -
After attempting to move songs from my iTunes library to my iPod Classic, the pinwheel kept spinning and iTunes froze. I tried pressing CTRL E to eject the iPod, but nothing happened. I unplugged the iPod then force quit iTunes, but when I checked my iPod all of the songs had been deleted. I tried plugging the iPod back in and slowly moved music over again, but iTunes still froze. I don't want to restore it to factory settings because I am afraid of losing the pictures I have on there and can't figure out how to get them off.
Are you using a Macbook?
If all your songs on the iPod are deleted, most likely the photios are gone too.
Unless you put the photos, via Diskmode.
To recover the photos that you've put in Diskmode, use Finder to locate where it is in the iPod.
Try also if iPhoto can locate those photos. -

HI THERE
PLEASE SOMEONE KNOWS HOW A BLOCKED CD IN MINIMAC CD DRIVER CAN BE EJECTED? BECAUSE FINDER COUDN'T EJECT THE CD, HOW SHOLD I OPERATE TO EJECT THE CD WITHOUT DAMAGING THE MINIMAC?
THANKSDear Mendel the option;
First, hold the mouse or trackpad while your Mac mini is starting. By doing this, you will force your Mac to eject the DVD.
If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your computer is starting, and once OS X has started up, type:;; dosen't work because i use a wireless mouses o for any operation and command it should be first mouse working and for that porpose the mac should be completly open or started;in order to be aible to use the mouse.
Thank you againe please another alternative if any is higly appreciated ?by the way if is possible to open manualy the mini mac and to take it out from driver the nasty CD? -
I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

When I connect the RCA Small Wonder to my MacBook Pro, the device is recognized in finder as EZ201. I tried to copy the video files in the folder but within a minute or two, I receive a message that the disk was ejected improperly, even though the device is still connected. I was able to download the first few videos before it stopped working and was able to play them using Perian. However, when I tried to connect the device again, it froze my system and I had to force a shut down by turning the computer off. Why is the device initially recongized but then shows as improperly ejected when it is still connected? How can I download the videos if the MacBook Pro won't allow the device to stay connected?
A picture of a screen that suggests my new MBP Retina never connects to the "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
This is the one that has the files for the backups procured by the Time Machine program. But it can't "connect"-- You 'll see int he sideways pic (sorry!) that the options STILL says "connecting"
Do i have to make these Time Machines more open to connection? -
How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)? WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it. Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed. It says to backup files and restore. But how do I backup files? Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.
You may drag & drop between external hds.
Should you run into trouble.
Take the exernal drive appart. Take out the harddrive. Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

Been in the iMac world now all of 2 days. I'm glad to have USB capability. I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and now need to remove the flash drive. Do you eject flash drives on iMacs as we did on PC's? Can't find an answer in the support area. Thanks...
Yes. All external drives regardless of how they are connected must be ejected before they can be unplugged.

itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settingsI fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this. -
How can I eject a disk that won't eject from my iBook G4?
What can I do to eject a disk, that won't eject. from my iBook G4?
If it is trying to eject and won't it may be that the slot opening
is blocked by the protective cover. Mine was torn and after a couple of attempts
to repair it I ended up removing it.

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.
