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 migration of data from the old sync to the new?

    I have two old instances of firefox (version 18 and 24) with sync set up; these are not accessible. How can I get the data from that account migrated to the new Sync backend without disconnecting these clients from Sync?

    The old and new sync use the same backend but that may not help you here; if for instance; you were hoping to do directional merges.
    Note the old and new syncs use a different account, and that the new sync only offers a merge option.

    *[[How do I choose what types of information to sync on Firefox?]]
    Relying on sync alone to backup bookmarks could result in all devices having corrupt bookmarks listings.
    If you have bookmarks involved I personally strongly recommend you manually back them up before making any sync changes, and thereafter do so at regular intervals - say every 2nd week. Sync is not good at handling large changes and large merges of bookmarks, corruption or duplication could occur.

  • How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

    Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
    After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
    Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

  • HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

    you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    Hope this helps
    Regards,
    Stijn
