I would try and take it out with a paperclip or something before you open up the computer.

Restart computer while holding down continuously on the left click button of the mouse. Continue to hold until the disk is ejected.

Given the problems we all seem to be experiancing if V4, when is V5 being released? Will it incorporate the best ot V3 and take out the worst of V4??

It seems that some of us are having the same problem with our chosen search engines, because V4 defaults to Yahoo! and other users are missing add-ons that they've had for ages but V4 doesn't want us to use (for some odd reason).
This is not the browser we know and love any more. Can you fix the flaws or can we have V3 back....... PLEASE!

Firefox 4 does not default to Yahoo, unless you installed the Yahoo enhanced version of Firefox. Or, something that was installed on your PC probably made that change to Yahoo.
Specifically where in Firefox is that problem? <br />
1. Search Bar <br />
2. URL bar / Location Bar<br />
3. The search container on the default homepage - about:home

How to PUT MUSIC and take out background sound

First of all, hats off to apple for iMovie 08'...I love it!
I was just wondering...how do I put music in the background that way i can completly block out the noise in my actual video footage?
Like say if I was making a MUSIC VIDEO...and all I need was the MUSIC that I am going to add to the project...how would I specifically take out the sound from my video then, that way you dont hear the people talking or anything...you just hear the good quality sound music??

Once you have the music track layered in, select it and then push the Adjust Audio button within the middle toolbar (looks like a loudspeaker). You then check the box titled "Reduce Volume of Other Tracks". That should do it.

Hi,
We do not know your computer therefore can not say how. In general, open the case, locate it (RTC or CMOS battery), disconnect cables (if any) and pull it out.

Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.
I................I
I................I
I....I__I....I
I................I
I................I

I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

My Iphone 4s automatically synced when I started ITunes. When it did this it saved all of my pictures on my computer to my phone. How do I reverse this and take the pictures back off of my iPhone?

Yeah, my iPhone 4S sometimes manages to connect to wifi for about 10 minutes now. I think there is a problem related with the antenna because when the phone heats up, the WIFI stops working. I had a similar experience with my older iPhone 4S which I bought from the U.S.A. (unlocked version) but after a couple of days, WIFI icon grayed out and I wasn't able to switch it on and off. Now the phone I'm using was bought in Turkey from a local carrier, (it's not locked I suppose) I'm planning on upgrading to an iPhone 6 and I will try to get my 4S repaired. I hope it is something related with software rather than hardware. Because a friend of mine sent his phone to the local Apple store to be fixed, they sent the phone back claiming that they had repaired it. But in about 2 days, the phone shut itself down and never turned off back again lol. I don't want to experience the same thing. But anyway, thanks for your answer. At least now I know that I'm not the only one that has this problem .

I plugged in my macbook pro power adapter and heard a loud bang. I checked the charger by opening it and found out the charger blew the whole mother board up. So i buy another charger, as i live in Egypt, that blew up the same way, please help.

You'll certainly need a new logic board.
If I were you, I would take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them evaluate the problems and give you an estimate for repair. If you're out of warranty, be prepared to pay a very high price to get your computer repaired.
Good luck,

When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event. Now it shows only one photo at a time. How do I get it back? Can you help?

On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
