How do I get the CD drive open besides keyboard

My eMac, while starting up is getting stuck on the gray screen with an apple and the spinning time indicator but it stays stuck there. When I press the eject button to put in the Disk Utiliteys it won't respond. Is there anyway to get the drive open besides the keyboard.

Hello! Try restarting with the mouse button held down. Tom

    To move a home folder, create a new home folder, copy the contents of the old home folder into the new home folder, and then delete the old home folder.  Take a look at this link, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/UserMgmt_v10.6.pdf

  • In ios 7, how do I get the calendar to open each time in list mode?

    In ios 7, on the iphone 5, how do I get the calendar to open each time in list mode? It always opens is strange new mode and goes to list mode only if I click the search icon.

    For some weird reason beyond my comprehension, and I am a smart fellow I think; Adobe starting with acrobat/reader 8 has decided to hid the menu icon Ribbon (i guess you would call it) until you have a PDF open. In versions past if you had these icons on the screen you could actually use them to open Pdf's or create pdfs from scans.
    Pesonally for me its a dumb idea. But was justified as allowing for more screen area to view. The guy that thought up the idea should be taken out behind the barn and given 10 licks for stupid ideas. :-)

    how do i get the camera to be beside the keyboard in messages, when you look at all the demonstrations online it shows the camera icon being there so you can add a photo to the message, but on my iphone 4 i don't have that icon.

    That means  you don't have MMS messaging enabled by your carrier. Either it isn't included in your account, it isn't provided by your carrier, or you're using an unofficial iPhone carrier that isn't fully compatible.

    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-

  • Help! How do you get the cd drive bay out of the Pismo?

    I just bought a new LG CD-RW/DVD drive (hope it was a good choice), but I can't find any info on how to get the old one out and put the new one in.
    There is lots of data on the four easy screws to remove for replacing the drive once it is out of the laptop, but no data on how to get to it while it is still under the keyboard and inside the Pismo?

    Pismo G3 PowerBook 400Mhz Safari; iMac G3 DV 400   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier   Pismo OS X Safari; iMac OS 8.6

    Little Fish,
    A properly working lever will have resistance as it pushes the whole drive mechanism out of the bay. It looks like the lever opens about 45º on my Wallstreet before it starts to eject, then reaches a full 90º with the drive protruding about 1/2 inch...you can then grab the drive and pull it on out.
    If the drive feels like it is not going to move after applying moderate pressure, disconnect all power and cables (only so you do not damage them), turn the 'book so the drive bay hangs over the edge of a table. You can now get your fingernails under the back edge of the drive on the bottom and help pull it out while using the lever.

  • TCP/IP Printer installs - How do I get the proper driver settings?

    I saw an older thread relating to this but I thought I would start a new one to revisit this thought.  I want to deploy my printers as TCP/IP and not rely on a shared print server.  This is in case the print server goes down, the users
    will still be able to print.  How can I get my driver settings to propagate to the users?  We use HP printers with settings like Printer Status Notifications, what tray to use, pages per sheet, duplexing, etc.  We also use Zebra label printers
    with custom stock sizes and tear-off values.

    > 1) Two print servers.  The stand-by print server will be a VM.  It will

    Don't change IP addresses. Implement a DNS alias ("PRNSRV" or whatever)
    and point that to the hostname of the current production print server.
    And exporting/importing can be automated throuhg PrintBRM.

  • When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

    When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

    When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
    The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

  • How do I get the searchbar to open in a new tab?

    I want the search bar to open a new tab every time i search for something. How to I do this?

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • How do I get the ODBC driver for 8.05 Solaris?

    Hi,
    Where can I get the Oracle ODBC driver
    for 8.05 on Solaris? I'm trying to use the
    JDBC bridge, but can't find the drivers.
    Do you have a small example using the bridge?
    null

    I assume you want an ODBC driver to actually use on the Solaris
    box, not one that runs say on Windows and connects To Solaris...
    Intersolv (www.intersolv.com) has a data-direct set of drivers,
    and I believe they have one for Solaris.
