How can I get a cd to eject?  Nothing seems to work

Which iMac do you have? There are many variants made since 1998 that have different optical drive systems.
Do "About this Mac.." from the Apple menu and post what that window shows. If its shows Processor" as "Intel," you should repost in the forum for current iMacs here:
iMac (Intel)
Otherwise, you are in the proper forum section (older iMacs 1998 through 2006), and we simply need to know what model.

  • How can i get my cd to eject?

    how can i get my cd to eject? It is jammed and will not eject via DVD player or iTunes...

    There should be a small opening right next to the DVD port. That is the ejection mechanism. You need to stick something small, long and hard (like a bobby pin) in it to manually eject your CD. Don't go gorilla when putting it in but use firm pressure. That should work.

  • I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

    There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
    Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
    Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
    As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

  • How can you get the keypad on a USB keyboard to work in Excel

    How can you get the keypad on a USB keyboard to work in Excel for Mac.  Mouse keys is disabled/unchecked, but cannot get it to work.  Even tried downloading a 'num lock' app and it didn't help.

    Hi Michael-
    I do not have any problem with using shift registers in timed loops.  What version of LabVIEW are you using?  Can you please elaborate on why neither shift registers or local variables meet your needs?  I have attached a VI that saves a previous iteration and then computes and displays the difference.  Let me know if you have problems running it.
    Thanks-

    How do I get a CD to eject, it seems to be stuck?

    Restart the computer and as soon as it powers up, hold the eject key on the keyboard. If this doesnt work then:
    Go to Appliactions, Utilities, then Disk Utility. The CD should be displayed in the panel on the left hadn side, Select it and click the 'Eject' button at the top (or right click the CD and click eject)

  • How can I get AirPlay mirroring to fill widescreen? It works automatically for apps built for apple tv, but not Hulu Plus, for example, which letterboxes.

    Airplay mirroring works great for apps (mostly video-related ones) with native Apple TV support, but for other apps - most notably Hulu Plus, it will only show letterbox on my 16:9 plasma TV. Again, my movies, tv shows and in-app videos like in CNN where there's a built-in AirPlay support will fill my widescreen, but apps that don't (Hulu Plus, games, photos) will not. Do I have to change the aspect ratio on the tv to 4:3? Will changing the resolution help.
    How can I get mirroring to fill the entire tv screen, regardless of the app? Thanks.

    Guys. Let's not get confused here.
    -AirPlay mirroring feature 'mirrors' what's on your iPad 2 or above or your iPhone 4s on to your big TV via the Apple TV black box.
    -Video apps that stream video (like native YouTube app) uses AirPlay which is different to mirroring.
    -When you use the 'mirror' feature you get black bars all around (left/right & top/bottom)
    -There are Games that use the full screen via the AirPlay mirroring feature and there are games that don't. It depends on the Game. For example download Asphalt 7:Heat and you'll notice you get widescreen display on the big TV but if you play Batman or Max Payne or others that don't support AirPlay mirroring then it you get black bars left and right.
    -What's neat about the AirPlay mirror feature is that when you play Asphalt 7 with 'mirroring' set to on, the race is shown on the TV while your iPad shows something completely different (the route in real time with your rear view mirror)
    -The Apple iPhoto app on your iPhone 4s or iPad 2/3 with AirPlay mirroring feature on you get a different experience. All of a sudden it goes full screen, and you are presented with their iPhoto logo.
    -Those who have the first generation iPad don't have mirroring capabilities so the Asphalt 7:Heat games feature aren't available or the iPhoto app features. With iPad 1 you can only stream video or music or image slideshow (which all stream full screen). iPad 2 and iPad 3 can also do this but with the added benefit of 'mirorring' what is displayed on the iPad screen. Some apps take advantage of this, some don't.
    There are no special setting on Apple TV to get rid of the black bars. You may be able to change the zoom settings on your actual big TV.
    Hopefully this will clear this all up. I have the iPad 1 and recently upgraded to the new iPad 3. I also have an iPhone 4s. Same issues.
    I don't think the AirPlay 'mirror' feature has developed fully yet. It has it's limitations but also has its advantages.

    Adobe Digital Edition 2.0 text to speech program NVDA is suppose to work. How can I get it to work?

    In short, no. iAS is a 2.2 servlet container. You would have to backport your application to version 2.2 of the servlet spec.

    More info on your iMac model and Mac OS version will help us help you. Of the three families of iMacs made from 1998 to 2005 this forum covers, both tray- and slot-loading drives were used and they can different troubleshooting methods.
    However, one thing that works on many Mac products is to restart the computer and hold down the mouse button while the computer boots.
