How to manually eject a CD on my 24" iMac.

Dear guys,
Can anyone help to answer my question on how to manually eject a cd on my 24" imac. I inserted the Window XP Pro SP3 into my imac. Its started to run the os now cannot boot the system. Actually can anyone help to advise how to go about do the boot camp process. Great thanks.
Please help....

If the mouse routine does not work. on some Macs, there is a little manual trigger in the extreme top of the disc slot. Carefully trip it with something like a straightened paperclip. It is just a fraction of an inch inside.
Your post is a bit cryptic. Did you actually follow the BootCamp process or just insert this Windows disc?
There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

My 4-year old put a mini cd into my new iMac. I can't see it. The mac didn't run it. I can't eject it. Any ideas? (PS I live in Nairobi, so would rather not have to try to find a repair shop.)

PowerMac G4 Manual Eject?

The startup disk on my PowerMac G4 got reset so I'm attempting to use my Install Disk to restart my computer. The problem is that I have a wireless keyboard and mouse and neither are responding. Thus, I can't eject my disk drive.
Unfortunately, I also can't figure out how to manually eject the drive (i.e., I can't find the paper clip hole).
This is one of the old G4 towers.
Help? Thanks.

Hi, Gerald -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
If your machine is an old (original series) G4s, then it has an eject button on the front of the external (bezel) door for the CD drive.
Try this - restart or boot - immediately start pressing that button rapidly. There is a short window a few seconds long during the boot process when the drive is energized, but before it has spun up and recognized there is a disk in it. The door eject button should work at that point.
Alternate - locate a corded mouse, one good for use on a Mac. Plug it into a free USB port. Restart or boot - immediately press the mouse button, keep it held down - that's a hardware command to the Mac to eject all removable media during boot.
If the problem is that it keeps booting to the install disk, use the Startup Disk control pane (Apple menu > System Preferences) to reset the boot volume to the hard drive.

How can I eject a small cd from my laptop?

How can I eject a small sized cd from my drive? It was only about 3". Help!

Shut down the MBP and disconnect all peripherals and the AC adapter from it. hold it up on end with the drive slot toward the floor and gently shake it up and down in hopes that the disc will eventually find its way out through the slot. If this doesn't work out, take the machine to an Apple Store or authorized service provider to have the drive removed and the disc removed from it. This work won't be covered by your warranty; you'll have to pay for it.
Take the time to read the manual that came with your MBP. It specifically instructs you not to insert nonstandard CDs or DVDs into the drive, and there's a lot of other information in it that you need to know.

How do I eject a DVD that is stuck in my DVD drive slot?

Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
TRY THE ONES IN BOLD FIRST
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.

Can manually eject disk from iMac? iMac won't start up. . .

My iMac started acting up, as if a keyboard key was stuck and it kept scrolling through menu items; so I logged out all users and restarted. I get the grey screen with the Apple logo and timer, then it goes to the blue background/Mac OS X screen but the blue progress bar never fills in.
I can't start up from the OS X disk because there's already a disk in there. Anyone know how to manually get a disk out? I'm sure this is on Apple's support page, but it's currently down for maintenence.
We do have an external, USB bluetooth for a bluetooth Apple keyboard and a Microsoft bluetooth mouse; and at first I thought it was the bluetooth that was freaking out.
I know this is a pretty vague problem, but any others out there with a similar experience? Or can troubleshoot this one? Thanks!

haythere-
It sounds like it could be the keyboard. have you replaced the batteries lately?
I know that if you hold down the mouse button of a wired mouse at power up it should eject the disc. That might work with the bluetooth mouse.
When it comes back up, this link for troubleshooting CD/DVD eject failures should be helpful.

How do I eject (or get out somehow) a mini cd I slid into my MacBook Pro CD slot (rather stupidly not thinking about its small size not being a good fit)?

How do I eject (or get out somehow) a mini cd (3" size) which I slid into my MacBook Pro's CD slot? (Rather stupidly, I admit, not thinking about its small size keeping it from being a good fit.) And of course, it didn't seat on the cd's spindle, and thus is not being "seen" by the computer as being present when I press the eject button, so nothing happens. Because the CD slot has a membrane covering the slot, I can't see in to locate where it is or to try and slip it out manually, either.
Details about my computer, although I don't know that these are needed, are as follows:
Model Name:    MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:    MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core i5
Processor Speed:    2.3 GHz
Number of Processors:    1
Total Number of Cores:    2
L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
L3 Cache:    3 MB
Memory:    4 GB
Boot ROM Version:    MBP81.0047.B27

Thanks for your suggestion, although it didn't work for me. The one that did suggested inserting a sticky note - sticky side down to catch the disk - and slowly pulling it out. I was dubious, but it worked just like magic!

Is there a manual eject?

my cd drive tray still has problems, i've tried everything suggested but it just wont open if it doesnt have a cd in it. Is there a manual eject for the imac G4?

Bella&Me,The Open Firmware option works in almost all cases. Follow these instructions:
Switch on/reboot
After the startup chime, press and hold <command/apple> <alt/option> <o> <f>
At the command line prompt, type: eject cd
Hit Return, the optical drive will then eject.
Type: mac-boot
Hit return.
- I had a fried logic board and wanted to clear the Optical Drive before I took the iMac in to a local AASP for repair - hence my extreme 'crack the case' solution - I wouldn't recommend it in your case.
It's something I've wondered about wireless keyboards - how good they are when you need to get yourself out of a sticky mac situation - do they let you down?

How to manually add second detail on master detail page

Hi,
Apex 4.1
can anyone tell me which steps to take excactly to manually create a second detail region on a master-detail form ?
So far I've copied the first detail region and customized it to the second detail table. Copied the processes and adjusted them.
What happends now is whenever I push one of the 2 "add row" buttons the rows are always added to the last region shown on the page. (also if I try to change anything on the data on the form and submit it all kind of errors show up )
It seems like the javascript:addrows() does not work for the region it's defined in, but how to adjust this ??
If I'm forgetting any other steps please also let me know.
Found multiple threads on this but so far no explanation on how to manually do this.
Cheers
Bas

Bas,
Multiple tabular forms or detail regions on a master-detail form are not yet supported. So you best option would be to make one or both of the detail regions read-only report regions with edit links on each row, which would take you to a detail edit page. Alternatively you could try to manually build two tabular form regions on your page, however you will not be able to use any of the built-in tabular form features then, incl the add-row functionality, the multi-row update processes and declarative validations. So all of this would need to be hand-coded in PL/SQL and JavaScript. We have plans to support multiple tabular form regions out of the box, but we don't yet when this might make it into APEX.
Regards,
Marc
