How do you remove a disc which is stuck in the disc slot

how do you remove a CD/DVD which is stuck in the disc slot?

Try restarting, immediately press the mouse button (left button if it's a two-button mouse), keep it held down. That's a hardware-based instruction to the Mac to eject all removable media.
If that doesn't work, consider taking the machine in to an Apple Store or AASP for repair.

  • How do you remove a sd card that went into the cd slot?

    A sd card had been  place in the cd slot, a cd can be inserted but it has to be pulled out manually, the eject won't connect with the disc. I've placed the mac on its' side but the sd card won't shake out. Any thoughts?

  • How do i remove a file which has attached to the outside of a window

    how do i remove a file which has attached itself to the out side of a windownext to the control tabs?

    Ah, do you mean it's showing in the header bar?
    If so, hold cmd (⌘) while you drag it off to the desktop. It'll disappear in a puff of virtual smoke.
    Don't worry, you won't lose the file; the icon in the header  (and those in the sidebar) is just an alias.

  • How do you remove a desktop icon with out deleting the whole program?

    i downloaded software online and it went into my application folder but instead of just the program the whole folder did with manuals and everything, so i copyed that to the desk top and then put the just the program back into the application folder. Now how do i delete the other one off the desktop, with out deleting the program,

    If you removed the application from the folder of other files, then deleting the folder has no effect on the application file. However, you might check that the application doesn't require any of the files in that folder before you remove it. Drag it to the Trash, but don't Empty the Trash until you're sure the application works without it.

  • How do i remove a document that is stuck in the Q?

    I cannot print on my 110 series printer because a document that I previosly set to print is stuck in the Q. How do I remove it from the Q?

    Hello Harveyf,
    I am unsure which printing method you are referring to. If you are trying to print from a Windows PC, I would recommend running the HP Print Diagnostic Utility, found at the link below.

  • 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.

  • Mail, how can you remove an image that shows up in the header?

    I have no idea how this image got where it is, but I would like to remove it. When I open Mail, I see in the address area of the email as it displays in the message viewer, to the very right of that area, there is an image, that I have no idea how it got there or how to remove. The following is a link (I think) Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png ...... that shows what I am talking about. I have gone through my signatures and made sure that image isn't in there and it isn't. Please help, it is driving my husband nuts, we would love to change the image to his company logo if possible, but we don't know if that image even shows up when others receive email from us or not (we email ourselves and it is right there in the address header of the email). Thank you for your time and help.
    Mail/Users/alaska_juliens/Desktop/Picture 7.png

    Typically what shows up there is the address book picture for that contact. If they attach an image it will be added to the address book.
    So go to the contact in address book and change or delete the image.

  • How do you remove an email that is stuck in send mode

    I tried to email a message with a large attachment that is now stuck somewhere and I have a message that says sending 1 of 1.  I have tried clearing the memory a few times and tried to restarting the phone but it does not go away.
    Thanks

    Try deleting the email account from your phone followed by a reset  (hold on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo and release, ignoring the off slider that appars first).  Go to webmail for you email provider and make sure the outbox and draft folders are empty, then recreate the email account on your phone.

  • I have an iPad 1, iOS 5.1.1, how do you remove a game from Game Center?

    I have an iPad 1, iOS 5.1.1
    How do you remove a game from Game Center?

    The app store is the only place to get apps for your iPad. Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps - if there is a free game that you want then you could try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that it's in your account's purchase/download history, and then on your iPad see if you can download an older compatible version of it. If it's a paid-for app then try contacting the developer first (there should be a link to the developer's site on the app's description page) and ask them if that will work for their app (don't buy it first and then find that it doesn't).

  • How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

    how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
