How to eject a dvd that is stuck and doesn't appear on desktop?

I did insert a dvd a few days ago and now it doesn't appear anywhere and I can not eject it. But when I turn on the computer the disc drive makes strange sounds. How can I eject it?

Disc drive making noises is not good. Even standard media rejection tricks such as holding down the mouse button which restarting the computer might not cause it to eject if the drive is mechanically malfunctioning.  You may have to look into getting the drive replaced and have whoever does it try to rescue to disc.

  • How to reset Iphone 4 that got stuck and has blackscreen   power button not working

    Hello,
    i got an iphone 4 and today it somehow got stuck while i was using it. The screen was active but nothing moved anymore. Then after some seconds the display got inactive (black) and when i pressed the home-button, it doesnt react anymore. Since my power-button is already broken for 2 years, i cant turn it off or reset it.
    Is there any possibility to reset my phone, so that it is working again?
    Some more details:
    - Calling my phone still works, but my screen stays black and i cant take the call (with clicking where i usually take the call)
    - i can still charge it and it vibrates once i put it to the powercable
    Thank you very much for any help already!
    ps: I cant imagine that something should be wrong with my display since it worked properly until it got stuck and the screen didnt move anymore. Then after it got black, it doesnt do anything anymore :/

    That was my only idea as well. Does anyone know, if some apple-repair centar can do sth in worst case if that advice doesnt help.

    A few options: restart holding down the mouse button; launch Disk Utility in Utilities folder, select the DVD on the left and click on the eject button.

  • How do I eject a DVD that just keeps turning in drive but will not eject?

    How do I eject a DVD that just keeps turning in drive but will not eject?

    check out Kappy's user tip:
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
    2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
    3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
    4. Press COMMAND-E.
    5. If none of the above work try this:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following: /usr/bin/drutil eject.
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above.
    To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • How to fix a shuffle that is stuck on repeat

    how to fix a shuffle that is stuck on repeat

    Are you sure you have a shuffle?  There is no "repeat" setting on a shuffle, unlike other iPods, such as the nano.
    The only reason a single song would repeat on a shuffle, is if you have a playlist with only one song, and you have selected that playlist using VoiceOver (or there is only one song on the shuffle).

  • Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk. My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standar

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

    When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

    Peter,
    The screenshots tell you everything.
    The second one tells you how the image frame is automatically set up after a one-click place. It's the blue stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line. This image frame is generated at a proportionally correct height and width for the image it contains.
    Now, if you look at the third screenshot (click on it to see it at a larger size), you will see I've used the direct selection tool (white arrow) to click on the image within the image frame. This CLEARLY shows the image (within the image frame) is substantially larger than the frame generated to contain it. This is indicated by the yellow stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line.
    Notice that the blue and yellow rectangles are vastly different sizes.
    In InDesign CS5.5, when i clicked to place the image, the image would fit perfectly within its image frame. the blue and yellow rectangles would match.
    I had no need to go click on the proportional fill and centre buttons like i need to do now in CC.
    I have a keyboard shortcut to place. I can't do File > Place for the amount of images i need to place.
    So to reiterate: How do i place an image so that the image and image frame match?

    How do I create buttons that once clicked and un clicked, alter an image?
    So for example if I imported a psd file into Muse with 5 layers, could i create 5 buttons which, when clicked, each individually took off and added 1 layer?
    Basically this should make what i'm trying to say clear (when it's loaded click the arrow and you'll see): http://lust.nl/lustArchive/noordzee/noordzee.html

  • How to delete an album on Iphone 4s, which doesn't appear in Itunes?

    Hi
    can any help with this problem-
    I just recently bought an iphone 4s, I've 2 albums showing on my iphone under slightly different album names. But only one appears in itunes - how do I delete the second album if it doesn't appear in itunes?

    You don't have to reply back to my question thanks, i've eventually found the answer on the net - took some time  though. You simply swipe your finger on the album you want deleting and a delete option will come up, it's that simple.
