How to force the eject on a mac?

I inserted a small disc on my macbook, now I can't eject it!
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Ouch sorry to hear that, Slot loading drives cannot allocate those mini cds, you might be lucky enough that it might read it and eject it.
Heres for more information: about your drive--> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88288 and for those who wont work-->http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88275 . Next time ask before doing this it could save you a lot of trouble.
Hope it helps,
-Victor

My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page - it won't turn off or on - just stuck. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (the advice is to connect ipad to mac and there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Going nuts.

I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

How to force the "Bluetooth Communications Port" to be one of COM1 to COM8 ports?

Dear Lenovo Community, Happy Holidays to you all and wish you a great happy new year. Recently purchased a Bluetooth OBDII device and have difficulty making it to work with its provided software on my T61 (running original XP Home). My short story and question/problem is that I can open "My Bluetooth Places" and pair with the OBDII device as an "OBDII SPP Dev", but my T61 assigns serial port COM19 to it. The OBDII software which came with the device only can let user set to one of the COM1 to COM8 ports and in the properties of Bluetooth pairing, there is no way that I can select which COM port to use. I looked at the Device Manager and I do see these COM port assignments: COM4,5,6,7: Sierra Wireless (the HSDA modem in the laptop which I have never used BTW) COM 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17: Bluetooth Serial Port COM 18, 19: Bluetooth Communications Port and I don't see anything for COM1,2,3, and 8 My question is how to force the computer/OS to assign one of the COM1 to COM8 ports to my device upon pairing? Can I disable the Sierra Wireless model from the COM ports list and hope this will happen? Thanks for your help and inputs beforehand. Regards, AL

Hi, AL_K
Have you attempted to change the port number in device manager itself? If you navigate to Device Manager and open the list of Ports, you can right-click on the device you wish to assign a different port number. After right-clicking, click Properties. There should be a tab called Port Settings. In here, you should find a setting to manually assign a port number.
Good luck, and let me know how it goes,
Adam

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How to force the Netscape Browser to open the "Open or Save" dialog box?

Hi, I tried to force the browser to open the "Open or Save" dailog box for downloading a file.
response.setContentType(context.getMimeType(file.getName()));
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file.getName() + "\"");
This works fine with IE for all file types( Even though he prompts twice to Open the file directly). but Netscape opens the file directly in the browser with showing any dialog box for text and html files. Anyone knows how to force the netscape in this case or for any file type? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

any one has the solution for this issue ? I tried the search and I didnt find any answer.
when your trying to open a pdf file as attachment is seperate window, it works well in IE but in netscape it opens up in the same browser, it doesnt open a seperate window
res.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + cofcFileName+"\"");

How to Force the Good Plan present in dba_hist_sql_plan for an SQL_ID

Hi Folks
Here i have a question on how to fix the query execution plan for which we are facing the problem. The current execution plan of the SQL ID is bad , but the execution plan in dba_hist_sql_plan or v$sql_plan is showing good one's.
So how to force the plan_hash_value present in dba_hist_sql_plan or v$sql_plan to the current sql. Where in we cannot try using any kind of hints in the SQL so my question here , is there any way to update manually to update the plan_hash_value for the SQL_ID so that it can use the execution plan which we want to force.
Regards,
Phani.

But my question is i have the good plan for the SQL_ID which is now running with the bad plan ( I am able to see the good plan in dba_hist_sql_plan view ) , my challenge here is how to force >the SQL_ID to take good plan PLAN_SQL_HASH_VALUE. Once the query is parsed and in memory I'm not aware of any way of changing the plan :(
A day later a similar situation came up with one of our clients. I'm still not aware of any way to manually change the execution plan of an already parsed SQL but suspect histograms and/or bind peeking may be a way to explain this phenemenon

How To Unhide the Library Folder in Mac OS X Lion

How To Unhide the Library Folder in Mac OS X Lion

Ken30 wrote:
How do you unhide in a Time Machine File?
What are you trying to do?
If in the Time Machine interface you wish to restore something in your Library, type cmd-shift-g, then type ~/Library into the path field and hit Go.
If you are browsing the Time Machine backup using the Finder, I hope you never wanted to use that backup again as you are more than likely going to corrupt it to the point of it not working any longer. If that is the case, you can do the same thing with the Go to Folder command above, just use the full path to where your backup is mounted. The easy way to find the path would be to open another Finder window and navigate to your home folder on the backup. Drag that home folder to an empty Go to Folder path field and it will fill in the full path, then add /Library on the end.

Follow these details to upgrade as suggested in my post above.
First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard.   It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.   Double check by reading the specs.

How to verify the AP detail (ip, MAC, etc) on WLC in CLI mode

How to verify the AP detail (ip, MAC, etc) on WLC in CLI mode

You can do a show run-config or else do a show ap ? and that will list commands you can run. You might have to enter different commands to get the info you want.
Or use the wlc config analyzer which takes your show run-config and puts it in a nice format.
I don't know what info you are looking for, but their isn't one command that just gives you all the ap details. Try the config analyzer it might be the easiest for you.

How to Force the Display to be On? (W520, for Color Calibration Purpose)

Hi,
I am trying to get the color calibration to work on Linux on my W520 and the color detector seems to work with dispcalGUI. However, when I close the lid of the laptop, the LCD always turns off. I verified that it is not caused by either acpid or the thinkpad_acpi kernel module by unloading them. I cannot find a BIOS option for this either.
How can I force the display to stay on when I close the lid?
Thanks!
(I am using Gentoo x86_64 with kernel 3.2.12)

Hi
