I have inserted a non supported CD that won't come out of the DVD player

How can I get the non-supported DVD to eject? Nothing happens when I hit the eject button.

Actually, what I did after that didn't work, I found the eject "up-arrow" near the CD list. When I hit that it ejected!

I have an older Ipad that won't come on to the passcode screen. It's just a black screen. What can I do with it?

I have an older Ipad that won't come on to the passcode screen. The screen is black like it is trying to come on, but it doesn't. I tried hooking it up to Itunes, but since it has a lock on it I can not get it to do anything. Is there anything that I can do with it at this point? I have tried doing the hard reboot, but nothing comes up on the screen. The one time that it did come on the colors were very distorted. TIA

Google for DFU mode and try that.

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.

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.

My iPhone 4 worked fine yesterday an today the sound won't come out of the speakers from music and videos but worked on earphones and without earphones all I can hear is when Someone's calling me

Idk what I did

I got it out!
Here is how.
None of the Apple-suggested ways worked. However, before totally giving up I started Roxio Popcorn and pressed the big eject button on it. It came out effortlessly!
So, I thought "Weird..."
I put the CD back in and reproduced my original problem. I got it out just as easily using Roxio Popcorn Eject feature.
So, I then thought "Maybe it is the disk?" There is nothing wrong with the disk as far as I can tell. It is perfectly round, has a smooth label-side surface. It is not even a label, it is a standard software install disk you buy in stores.
I inserted a different disk. The mini mounted it, I browsed it, and then ejected it by dragging it to trash. Worked fine.
I tried a few other disks.
The drive seems to work fine.
Maybe that CD is cursed, I dunno. I tried that disk in my PowerBook and it works fine there.
Who knows ?
I am still backing up my hard drive as I type this message in case I need to take it to the store.

How to turn off mic so that sound will come out

Are you refering to the messages that appear when accessing secured sites? In that case the following Apple document may explain a bit more (and I believe you cannot turn off that behaviour) :

Hiding dock that won't come out!!

I had my dock hidden on the left side of my screen and magnified. I came and opened my computer and the dock wouldn't show up. I got to system preferences to make it show up but now the magnification won't work.

Hi devithedino, and a warm welcome to the forums!
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Then reboot once more.

IPod Touch 3G in DFU Mode and won't come out

Hello,
My daughter's iPod Touch 3G appears to be in DFU mode, but won't come out. The screen is completely black, and when I attach it to the computer, it comes up with the message "iTunes had detected as an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." When I hit the restore button, I receive the error message "software for this iPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again."
I've seen this message posted several times in the forum, and I have tried all the troubleshooting tips offered by Apple Support and in the answers to some of the questions. I am a Systems Engineer, so I consider myself pretty technically savvy. These are the steps I have followed so far:
1) Completey removed and reinstalled iTunes according to the instructions provided by Apple.
2) Downloaded the firmware for both the 3G and IOS4 from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and attempted a manual install - when I do this, I receive the error message, "the iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because the firmware is incompatible"
3) Downloaded RecBoot to attempt to exit recovery mode, but it does not appear to be detecting the iPod.
4) Attempted to exit and re-enter DFU mode several times to no avail.
5) Called Apple Express Lane and was willing to pay the 1 time phone support charge, however the agent told me that he could not help me, and that I needed to take the iPod into an Apple store (the iPod is 190 days out of warranty).
My last effort is to try the install from another PC. So, prior to taking the iPod into the store, I was wondering if anyone has had any success other than the steps I have tried above. I'm appreciative for any assistance anyone is able to provide.

Check the model number on the back, "A1318" = 3G, "A1288" = 2G. If it truly is a 32GB 3G Touch, then you're going to have a rough time going back to an iOS version earlier than the current release (4.3.1, available from iTunes). The iOS packs you get from the site you mention are not "signed" and you probably won't be able to install them ... I think 2G owners have better luck with those "unofficial" versions.
So, if you have a 3G, your best bet is to erase (or move) all earlier iOS versions and let iTunes download a fresh copy of 4.3.1 for the iPod -- no need to go to a 3rd party site. If you have a 2G, then the latest version you can install is 4.2.1, which is also available from iTunes. To increase your odds of this working out, you might temporarily disable any AV software and firewall(s).

My iMac goes into sleep mode, won't come out until I unplug and replug the computer then hit the power button. Just hitting the power button alone won't restart the iMac.

My Imac goes into sleep mode but won't come out. The keyboard/mouse won't rouse it and the power button won't do it either. I have to unplug the computer, re-plug it in and then hit the power button. Help?

I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem. I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared. I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.

How can I solve a CD that won't eject?

Press the mouse while your Mac is starting until the disc is ejected. If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your Mac is starting, and type:
drutil eject
exit
If this doesn't work, the disc is stuck and your SuperDrive has to be replaced, so take it to an Apple Store or reseller. Another option is to use an external disc drive.
If the last step doesn't work, other steps won't work because there isn't any app using the disc
