How do i remove a small cd stuck in the cd drive

I am failing to remove a mini disc that i inserted in the cd drive. Can anyone tell me how to do it

Hold vertical with MONITOR TOP facing down about 30 degrees, with superdrive slot down.
Holding it perfectly super-drive down the mini disk can get caught on the loader or plastic loading slots.
the TOP inside of the superdrive is SMOOTH, and the disk will slide out easier/quicker.
I just had to fix 2 superdrives last night for another issue, ....memories

How can I remove a small handycam dvd from my dvd drive?

My daughter put the small dvd from our handycam into the dvd drive of my macbook pro. I can't get it out by pushing the eject button and don't know what else to do.

In addition to shldr2thewheel's suggestion, I have heard of using a vacuum cleaner. Maybe worth a try?
Ciao.

Depending on the model of Mac I would first try to tilt the unit to see if you can get whatever you got stuck in there nearer the edge. Do not shake the Mac to move the object - you could cause damage to internal components.
The next best thing is to use a very fine pair of tweezers or pliers and try to remove the object. Sometimes a credit card or firm business card may also help you move the object nearer to the lip of the optical drive.
Be warned though - you are not supposed to stick anything into the optical drive yourself to try and remove something as you could cause further damage. Your best bet is to take it into an Apple Store and have them remove it. Just as another warning though - this would count as accidental damage and so is not covered under your Applecare if you have it. You'll have to pay out of pocket to get the object removed.

1. Close the Facebook App in the Task Bar and re-launch Facebook. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar. Hold down the Facebook app until you see the minus sign. Tap minus sign to close app.
Try a reset if the above doesn't work.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

How to stick out a broken earplug stuck into the speaker jack

how to remove a broken earplug stuck into the speaker jack?

You need to be extremely carefull with the following instructions and understand that if you're not or you follow them, you may cause more issues than it's worth. If you do it right and are carefull and precise, it will come out without any damage.
Turn off your system. (Shut OSX down, don't just sleep the system.)
Take a round/sharp toothpick. Put a small dot of super glue on the very tip of it. Don't put a huge drop on it, just enough for contact. Put that end dead center on the headphones plug stuck in the socket. Wait for a while for the glue to dry/cure (the longer the better). Slowly pull streight out. If the plug comes out some and then the toothpick glue releases, it should at least be far enough out there you can grab it with some needle-nose pliers.
Again, if you are not absolutely neat and correct when you do this you could use too much glue and then basically glue the jack and plug together. I've done it and it works, but you have got to be precise, like brain surgery precise. Good luck.

How do I remove an extra editable region in the head of a specific page?

I have a single-template website. My template has the standard two editable regions in the head ("title" and "head"). Somehow, one of my pages ended up with three editable regions in the head - two named "head" as well as title. My template won't update this page because the editable regions don't match. How do I remove this extra editable region from the head of the page? I can't modify it on the page itself, of course, and I can't remove it by modifying the template because it's not part of the template.
Thanks in advance!

Your child page would not contain any editable regions if it wasn't attached to a Template. Perhaps you nested templates which is the wrong thing to do.
Go to Modify > Templates > Detach from Template.

HT204266 How can I remove my credit card information from the app store?

How can I remove my credit card information from the app store? I would like to have an account without the credit card information.
I would like to put in my credit card only when I am ready to purchase.

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ?

How do I remove Canon " My Image Garden" from the desktop when turning on my computer ? I have the icon but the program starts up and I have to delete it manually from the desktop to clear my screen for other work...

Are you using a Windows or a Mac? What you're seeing (the backwards L shaped menu) is probably the Canon Quick Menu. If you have a Mac you can go into your applications, select Canon Utilities, then drag Canon Quick menu to the trash and empty trash can. On Windows you'd go to the control panel, select Programs and Features (or Uninstall Program/Add or Remove Program) and uninstall the Canon Quick Menu. Not required for all the normal functions of the printer. You can do the same thing for My Image Garden. Also not required.

How can I remove apps no longer wanted from the cloud

How can I remove apps no longer wanted from the cloud? they are not used any more and taking up space.

Welcome to the Apple community Mickeymom.
The apps are not actually in your iCloud storage, they are links to the apps in the App Store. What you are seeing is your purchase history and as such cannot be deleted.
You can however hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...

A few other suggestions here as well:

I have my photos on an eternal USB connected drive. I am trying to import them to PSE. The "Copy on Import" button is greyed out. How can I enable it so I can disconnect the external drive?.

The "Copy on Import" button is greyed out. How can I enable it so I can disconnect the external drive?.

"Copy" is normally used when connecting a camera or card reader.
Simply copy or move folders from your external drive to your computer hard drive, then from the Organizer menu click:
File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
Then navigate to the new location on your internal hard drive.

After downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet

after downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet. Can anyone provide a solution to this problem. Thanks

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
I got it!!! Yes!!!
Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
That's the clue!
When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
I hope I can help all of you.
Regards,
Renato Veiga.
