How to open empty superdrive tray aside from keyboard button

I did come across this knowledge base article but all options are good only when there is something in the drive.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2575
To open an empty tray, is there a way other than pressing eject button on keyboard?

Thank you very much. It was mentioned as one of the methods in the knowledge base link provided in my previous post but I failed to see what it did. Now that you mention it, I noticed an eject icon on the menu bar and when I click on it, I see the option to open the superdrive.
One of the reasons I asked is that I am planning on using a non-Apple keyboard (I like to be able to use backlit keys - I'm a half-baked touch typist who work in a darkened room from time to time) but it is not fully compatible with Apple, namely the function keys.
Thank you once again for the solution.

  • How to open an Oracle 6i Form from a button

    Hi,
    I have a button on an order form that im trying to open the customer form from i am using the code:
    begin
    call_form('Customer',no_hide,do_replace);
    end;
    i get the following error msg:
    FRM-40010: cannot read form Customer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also i am going to develop a log on screen that will validate a user name and password but cannot find any info on this. Any links or tips would be great!
    Thanks!

    Please ask your logon question in a separate thread.
    The "cannot read form" message means Forms cannot find the file named Customer.fmx in the path where it expects to find the form. If you are running on a unix system, the file name must match upper or lower-case exactly, as well.

    How to open older version of iPhoto from an external drive. It won't let me open or upgrade to the latest version?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    how is the EHD where the library is located formatted?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • How to open CD/DVD tray if the MacPro won't boot

    Just a few days ago I updated my version Safari on a MacPro. After the upgrade, my computer, I got a message on the reboot that said that it cannot read the disks I inserted. Since then, I can't get the machine to start at all. I'd like to boot it up from a CD/DVD (Drive Genius) but can't figure out how to get the tray to open to let me insert it. (1) Has anyone had such issues with updating Safari? (2) How can I get the tray to open if I can't get the machine to boot up to start with? (I've tried rebooting and holding down the "c" key. I've tried "target disk" mode but that doesn't get me anywhere.) (I think it may have 10.5.8 OSX and two internal drives.)

    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.

  • How to open and read many files from a directory and store contents in 2D array?

    I want to make a VI that opens and reads the data from various files contained in a directory (200 files each with 2 columns) and store these in a single 2D array. For file number 1 I want to store the data from both columns in the 2D array, but for files 2 to 200 I only want to store the second column of each file. Can someone please help?

    Hi Nadav,
    Thanks for your help. I have followed your instructions but i cannot get it to work. I used the LIST DIRECTORY to list the files in the directory - that works. However, how do I read each of the 200 files using READ FROM SPREADSHEET FILE without me having to manually select each of the 200 files? So, if I use LIST DIRECTORY to list all 200 files in an array, how do I get each of these to open and store the data in a 2D array? Here is what I have done (File called read_files.VI) Could you please help me? Thank you very much in advance.

  • OS 10.4, non-Apple keyboard, How to open the CD tray?

    How do you open the CD tray with OS 10.4 and a non-Apple keyboard?
    F12 used to work but this was changed in 10.4 to trigger the stupid Dashboard.

    F12 does not work for me, but I accept that if other people can make it work, then I need to figure out why it doesn't work for me. Glad to know there is a solution on the horizon.
    Regarding adding the CD eject control to the Finder menu; that's a great idea. I should have remembered that was possible. For reference, the location of that menu add-on and others is:

  • How do I open the CD tray using Windows Keyboard

    How do I open the CD tray of my eMac using a Windows Keyboard that does not have a eject button? If I use uControl Program to switch the alt and Window Keys (the option and ⌘ Keys) I can't use the iJect Program.

    shulmice,
    While not a perfect answer since you have to be logged in before you can open the tray, you can put an eject icon in the menu bar by double-clicking on ~/System/ Library/ CoreServices/ Menu Extras/ Eject.menu

    Action when Button is clicked:

    It is not opening any windows folder. I appreciate any information regards how to configure a button item in order to do this.

    This is illegal with in the realm of Web Pages.
    The most you can hope for is putting up a "File Browse.." item type.
    Now, if the files were placed where the Oracle Server can access it....
    (please remember:  Servers are not allowed to 'access' client machines.)

  • How to open an MS-Word-File from a Java-Applikation ?

    Hi,
    i want to open an MS-Word-File from a Java-Applikation.
    Something like this:
    File myFile = new File("myFile.doc");
    myFile.open(); //unfortunately this methode doesn't exist
    Thanks for response

    In my opinion you have to use the Runtime.exec(String) method. I do not know the program name for msword.
    You can open a file in notepad by invoking the method Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad c:/xyz/abc.txt");
    Runtime runTime = Runtime.getRuntime();
    runTime.exec("programName" + " " + file);
    Of course the computer on which the program runs must have the application!
    Hope this helps!
