How do I remove a DVD that has become stuck?

I have an older 17" MacPro with a slot drive and I now have a DVD that has become stuck. It won't stop turning nor will it release to eject it. How do I get it out?

Many options
-dragging and dropping the icon for the CD into your trashcan
- Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
- Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
- Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
- Press COMMAND-E.
- Open the Terminal application in your Appl/Utilities folder. copy & paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
- Boot the computer into single-user mode (hold down command - s through the boot process.) At the prompt copy & paste:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
Restart the computer enter reboot at the prompt or shutdown
- restart hold down trackpad button

How do I remove a bookmark that has a star from the awesome bar?

isn't there some way to permanently remove an entry from the awesome bar? This is also a very annoying problem. If a site is a bookmark then sure it can be deleted from the drop down list, but the next time you go to the awesome bar it is there again. I want to be able to permanently remove a bookmark from the awesome bar. Period. How the heck can I type in a site that is a bookmark that I do not want to appear in my drop down list in the awesome bar?

You need to understand my question.
As a user, I do not want to delete or eliminate all bookmarked sites.
On occasion, however, I only want to delete only a single or a few websites from their bookmarked status and stop them from appearing on the drop down list in the location bar.
So, for example, if I see in my drop down list:
Apples.com
Ardvarks.com
Airplanes.com
and all are bookmarked sites
and I just want to stop Ardvarks.com from appearing in my awesome bars' drop down list every time I enter the letter "A"
then that's what I want to do.
I do not want to stop Apples.com or Airplanes.com from appearing in the drop down list.
There must be a way to permanently stop Ardvarks.com from appearing everytime I look at the awesome bars' drop down list.

How do I remove a DVD that is stuck in the drive on MacBook

I put a DVD in my drive to watch a movie and it is making a sound as if it cannot red it and my computer is not booting up.

A stuck DVD should not prevent your Mac booting from its hard drive.
Turn your Macbook all the way off (hold the power button down until the power light turns off). Then try the following:
- Reboot the computer. Straight away, hold down the left button on the trackpad, or the left button on an attached USB mouse if you use one. Keep it held down and eventually, the disk should eject.
- Reboot the computer. Hold down the Option key until you see the boot panel on the screen. Choose your HD to boot from that disk. Once booted, is the DVD shown on the desktop / in the Finder? Try ejecting it there.
- If, once booted, you don't see the disk in the Finder, take a look at the disk slot. Can you see the middle of the DVD? Try pushing it in very gently.
If none of those help, you should take it to an Apple Store or authorized repair center for them to remove it.

How can I rip a dvd that has not been finalized.

I need to recovery the video for work. I can clearly see the content has been burned into the dvd, but since its not finalized, I cannot access any of it. What can I do? What software do I need? I saw most forums suggest ISO-buster for PC users. Is there an option for Mac users?

restart your mac while holding down on the mouse.

How is best to rip DVDs that I own to my iMac then move them to my iPads so my kids can watch them during a long drive?

How is best to rip DVDs that I own to my new iMac for viewing on my iPads and iPods (for kids during a long drive)? I've read about a lot of options, but I don't find anything that sounds authoritative on what is the ideal way. There is freeware out there and a bunch of paid options. I don't mind paying as long as I know what I'm getting will work. I've asked a few buddies and haven't gotten any straight answers. It seems like everyone has their own way that has its own set of benefits and issues. Any strong opinions out there on what works well (especially for a rookie)?

Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
The backing up part isn't illegal, but in order to do this you need to break copy protection..this part is.

Hi there,
Not exactly sure what you wanna do... but here is what I've understood...
You can remove any old Transport Set in your Portal by going to the Browser Transport Sets within the Builder page over the Administer tab.
As to import a new Transport Set into the Production server, what I suggest is that you make a valid backup (so that in case you have any problem it is easier to revert back) and later on override it (or if it is a major change, it would be better to drop the Page Group and reimport it clean) or import it clean to your Production server. Validate all things... and that's it.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

How can I debug a sequence that has a subsequence is running in a separate thread?

Hi,
How can I debug a sequence that has a subsequence is running in a separate thread?
I have to have a continues check for a digital in signal to be able to terminate the sequence if a physical button is pushed.
This is running in a separate thread, but this way I cannot debug the main sequence.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks,
Andras
