How do I get the dvd blank tape out of the computer

I have successfully copied onto a dvd from my camera using Idvd08 One step. I did about four dvd's ok. Then, when I opened the idvd and chose "one step" and put in the blank dvd, it would keep showing on the screen the directions , when I chose "ok" it then went back to the opening icon where I would choose "one step". repeatedly. and the blank dvd is stuck in the computer. I tried holding down F!2 but that didn't work to eject the dvd. I have about 10 more movies to put onto a dvd from my camera. They are short about 10 minutes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I did get the dvd out of the computer. I finally found a direction that worked. I still cannot get the idvd to record from the camera using 'one step'. thanks for any suggestions.

  • I downloaded the new Pages and Numbers through my app store but when I open my old documents, it still tells me my 30 day trial is over. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize the new applications?

    More information: I have a 3 year old MacBook and had been using "Microsoft for Mac" until last week when I took my MacBook in for some upgrades- including the operating system Lion. I have been unable to use the Word, Excel, etc. programs because they are not supported on the new operating system... and I already used my 30 day trial of iWork when we first purchased the computer. I decided to buy Pages and Numbers through the App Store icon. When I open the Pages and Numbers under my Applications, I can get them to work. However, when I open old documents saved on my computer, they go into the 'old' iWork messages of that my trial has expired. How do I get the computer to automatically recognize that I've purchased Pages and Numbers?

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    I get a blue screen; tried the single boot and get "audit space low"; how to I get the computer to start again?

    In the text you say you are using Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will not operate on a G4 (or any Mac with a PowerPC processor). Leopard OS 10.5 is the max OS for PowerPC processor Macs. Your profile shows OS 10.5.6. What OS are you using (or trying to use)?
    Will the PB boot using a systen install DVD?

  • My ipods are no longer recognized after I installed my Iphone I have 2 ipods that I have music on and still want to use them so how do I get the computer to recognize the ipods again?

    I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?

    Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone?  Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
    So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
    What happens now when you connect the iPod?  Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager?

  • How do I get the computer to automatically eject a drive before it enters Sleep?"

    I have an external eSATA drive connected via PCI Express card to my Mac Pro.  When I wake the computer, I get a complaint about not correctly ejecting the disk.  How can I get the computer to eject the drive before entering Sleep?  There are two partitions on the drive, so the answer will need to include "Eject All."  Perhaps an Apple Script could tell the drive to eject, but how to automatically run it?  If I could schedule it to run five or ten minutes before the scheduled Sleep, that should work.
    The reason for the external drive is to back up my TiVo recordings...WARNING...If you have a DVR Expander connected to your TiVo and EITHER fails, you lose everything!  I now transfer all my recordings from my TiVos to this drive so I won't lose recordings in the future.  Plus I can take the drive with me and connect it via a Thunderbolt wire and watch them on my laptop.

  • I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

    I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • How do I get the computer to burn a playlist. My first one worked, but nothing works since then. I get an error.

    In iTunes, I burned a playlist to CD. It worked fine. Then I tried another one, and since then the computer initializes for a long time, then goes directly to finishing without writing to the CD. At the end, I get an error message that there was a failure and it can't try again. The CD is no longer blank, so I can't use it again and have to throw it away. What can I do?

    I think I have this posted in the wrong area, but don't know how to change it.  I figured out how to download songs to my playlist in Itunes 12.1.  It seems that it does not work unless I delete the songs from my library first so they are only available on icloud.  Then I move the songs to the playlist.   After I am done adding the songs to the playlist, I press the cloud next to the playlist and the songs are downloaded to my iphone.  If I press sync first, I end up with the old playlist back on my computer minus the deletions and new songs.
    I am now having problems getting my new purchases to transfer to my library.  If anyone knows how to get Itunes 12.1 to do this automatically, please let me know.

    hi Darryn
    Hope you are doing well and sorry to learn that you are having this issue.
    Taking into consideration the security of your data and your own, every time that email is reset is locked for 6 months.
    I see how that can an inconvinience in your situation but remember the purpose of that in my modest opinion is to protect data that is send to you and you to that email to print, A good example.
    You changed the email a week ago told your relatives and they forgot and they sent  information confidetial or private information met to you but I choose the email you had last week and I get a hold of this information.
    This is why I think HP make the decision of Automaticly locking the old email as soon is changed.
    What you can do to keep it as close as you can you from the one that you had previously is to add a number or another lettter to the old one and communicate the changes to your allowed senders.
    Hope this gives you a good explanation and an alternative;

  • My DVD reads as a blank disc, even though it has info on it. How can I get the computer to recognize it?

    my class has been given dvd's with files on them. The DVD shows up as a blank disc on my new macbook pro, even though other macs in the room do not have this issue...please help me!

    You can only restore the backup to another iOS device.  Also, Apple will delete an iCloud backup after 180 days of inactivity so it won't be there forever.

  • My mac is connected to the wireless network, but I still have not internet connection. How do I get the computer to connect

    Everytime I move, I have to reset the TCP/IP settings. I am haveing touble getting a router number that area. Can you help?

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • How do I get the computer id changed on my account? i deleted it and have a new computer and it says its tied to the old one still

    Help I cannot do anything in my account as my old computer is gone and it says I only have one computer able to play music and I bought a new one

    Log in to iTunes (don't worry if you can't play music). Go to "Account" from the Quick Links menu. From there, you can deauthorize all of the computers tied to your account, even if yo uno longer own them. It used to be that you could only do this once a year, so don't play around with it.
    After that, you can re-authorize toe computers you desire.
