  • How do you remove the dvd from the usb superdrive?

    How do yu remove a dvd from the usb superdrive that is connected to my Mac Pro?

    Thank you so much for this info. I've been trying for hours to eject a CD from my USB superdrive and all it would do would tell me this "cannot be supported". I tried everything listed on the Apple support site and was about to make a trip to the service center. I downloaded the Terminal app and typed in what you said and it immedialty ejected my CD. Thanks again.

  • HT1758 my old imac has no manual button to eject my dvd from the hard drive

    I am having trouble ejecting the dvd from my old imac which has no manual button to help me eject manually.

    Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • How I download a MP4 series of videolectures (that the seller has stored in Amazon S3 and has sent to my iPad email address--which is different from the one I use from the MacBookPro) from my iPad to my MacBookPro-.

    To set it up as POP you need to delete the account, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds), then add it back following these instructions: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account
    I understand that you have used the same account for many years, but the technology is also changing constantly. Years ago the standard was POP (Post Office Protocol), which was designed at a time when it was inconceivable that anyone would access their email from more than one device. When people started using multiple devices, for the most part they wanted to see changes on one device mirrored on another. A new standard, IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) was developed. With iMAP the master copy of all messages resides on a server, and multiple devices are kept in sync with the server. So if you delete a message from one device it is removed from the server, and then removed from all other devices when they next sync. This is the same way Microsoft Exchange works. Other benefits of IMAP include the ability to have multiple mail folders that are kept in sync across devices. In your case you could use this to create a separate folder for each family member, so they could move messages to their own folder and not clutter up the shared Inbox. Most computer mail readers can even automatically sort incoming mail into folders based on the contents of the message.
    IMAP is considered a "higher level" standard than POP. When you create a mail account iOS devices query the server and ask what it supports; if it says it supports IMAP then the account is automatically configured for IMAP. So if you really want POP you must fool it, as described in the link above. In my experience Android devices default to the highest level protocol also, and I suspect newer Blackberries do (although it has been 15 years since I used a BB).

    Restart and hold down a mouse button. That signals the system to force eject any disc in the drive. If that doesn't work then the drive might of failed or at least the eject motor of the drive.

  • Help - how to Eject DVD/CD in mini?

    Hi all
    I got my new mini last week
    I use it as HTPC only with the apple remote (no keyboard or mouse).
    I need help with - how to eject DVD/CD in mini?
    Thx for the help
    Benzi

    If you press the Menu button of the Apple Remote, a Screen should come up with one of the choices being DVD. Use the Remote's "wheel" to choose DVD and then press the center button. The next window has a choice to Eject the DVD.
    Music CDs work the same way, except substitute the word CD for DVD in the previous paragraph. The Eject option will be the last option at the bottom of the album list.
    Or does this not work for you?
    Please remember that you can only use standard size DVDs and CDs. Don't insert any of the smaller 80mm ones.

    May I know how  to do, because I want make a imovie from the scene of the DVD if possible ?
    Thanks in advance for your kind help and support!
    Regards

    If they are commercial DVDs, we are not allowed to help since it would violate the ToU of these forums as it involves copyright and DRM issues. Did your friend copy a commercial DVD? If not, and it is homemade, you'll need to figure out what format the movie is in - you should be able to import the footage to iMovie and may have to use a converter to get it into a format iMovie can read. I can't help with iPhoto since I never use it.

    In Mail 7.3 on my Retina MacBook Pro on OS 10.9.4, how can I type from the keyboard into a mail message using the Apple Symbols font?
    When I select the Apple Symbols font from the list accessed from under Format/"Show fonts"/collection-all fonts/Apple Symbol, and then continue typing, I get normal letters, if in a slightly different font.
    How can I type using the Apple Symbol font?  I want to use that font to include keyboard and cursor selections of actual screen symbols to help write easily understood explicit computer lesson emails to my 92 year-old mom from a few hundred miles away.
