How to remove a 3inch CD from the slot loading drive??

I have am external adapter for various IDE external devices. The drivers came on a 3 inch CD.I put the CD in the slot it did not appear to go all the in and it will not eject using the normal methods. Anyone run into this situation??
Bob

I was able to remove the disk quite simply. I slid a business card through the center of the slot. I aimed the card slightly upward toward the top of the drive. I inserted the card in about an inch and a half. I then took a mediun size paper clip and straightened it out. I bent the last millimeter down about one millimeter forming sort of a hook. I then inserted the hook end in about an inch and a half on top of the business card (away from the drive mechanism).I then rotated the paperclip so that the hook end dropped into the hole in the CD. I then slid the paper clip, the the business card and the CD out together It worked great first try. The drive still works.

  • HT2285 How to remove a mini-cd from a slot-loading superdrive (on ibook intel)

    I have a mini cd stuck in the slot loading drive on my ibook (i have curious children;-).
    Are there any tricks to removing foreign objects like this?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You really only have two options.
    Take the unit apart yourself or you take it to a repair shop to do it for you.
    If you wish to attempt it yourself, you can use the iFixit guide to help you.
    It wont eject, as the leaver which pulls the disk out of the drive, wont move further enough to eject the disk.
    So the the only way is to take to top off the drive and then you can simply remove it out.
    Best of luck

    How to remove my credit card from the App Store

    I used a pre-loaded credit card so when it ran out i had problems, primarily because it wont let me download or update anything until the "billing problem with the last transaction" was resolved. I dont really care if the purchase goes through but i want to be able to update stuff again and it wont give me the option to select 'none' under payment type. do i have to put another card on there just so i can "resolve the billing problem" and then i have  to take it off again or is there a way around this or is it a never ending cycle?

  • How to remove a Java instance from the config tools

    Hi,
    I would like to remove a java instance from the config tool since that server does not exist anymore.  Is there a way?
    Please le me know.
    Thanks

    Jean,
    I think you can do this if you remove the entries of your Instance from instance.properties file located under the below path.Take a backup of the file first then do the changes and Restart the server once done.

    does the time stamp with the ":" a part of your output file?
    else use a replaceAll function in your mapping and replace the : with empty string then use the value in the variable substitution
    Another option is use the normal BPM for 1: N message flow. The use a simple java mapping that will introduce a dynamic configuration and you can create the file name as you want. the java mapping will be used in the flow of messages from BPM to target system.

  • How to remove a Sharepoint list from the Powerpoint app on iPads??

    Hello,
    I have added a Sharepoint "place" in Powerpoint app on an iPad and cannot find a way to remove it, the address of the SharePoint page/place/list has been changed so it is no longer relevant to me. Any tips?

    Hello Scott,
    I did post a question but for some reason it didn't post. What I typed was removed for some reason. So I'm trying again. I'll keep trying until it posts. I had installed a 3rd party sound editor program which added a sound device to the list with Mic and line in. It's also in the output list. All I need to do is remove the device and then AU will allow me to select line in as an input device. Right now AU is confused by the extra device and wont let me select an input device. AU is a developer app. But that's not the problem. The problem is removing the device from the list of sound devices.
    If someone knows where this device might be and how to remove it, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • How to remove (delete) FB contacts from the contact list.

    I'm really new to my new Mac and having a bit of trouble trying to delete all the contacts that were downloaded to my contact list from Facebook. I have tried highlighting one and deleting it that way, but, the 'Remove from Group' doesn't light up.
    I tried putting them in a particular group, such as FB contacts, then deleting that group. But, they still remain in the group titles 'All on My Mac'. How do I get them deleted from that group??

    To turn off Facebook contacts:
    1) Go to Contacts
    2) Click Group on the top
    3) Uncheck All Facebook
    Then you shuold just see your regular contacts.
    Good luck.

  • How to Remove ZD7000 Antenna Wires from the Hole?

    UPDATE: The Maintenance and Service Guide mentions that the antenna wires are attached to a card; that's why I cannot simply pull them out through the hole. There may be enough slack so that, for my purposes, I won't have to disconnect the wires.
    I'm finding some issues with the step-by-step instructions that I referenced below.
    BB
    Hi,
    I'm disassembling my ZD7000 laptop to replace the DC power jack. I started following the steps at http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repairing+HP+Pavilion+​ZD7000+Motherboard/2878/1.
    Everything went well until I got to Step 14, where I'm instructed to "Disconnect the 2 wires connecting the monitor to the rest of the laptop." In the picture, the antenna wire is one of the two wires highlighted with a red box. (Although the picture is somewhat confusing, because it shows a hand touching a third wire that is not highlighted.)
    The HP Service & Maintenance Manual says, "Remove the 2 antenna cables from the hole and routing channel in the top cover." Since they are antenna wires, I assumed I could simply pull them out through the hole. However, I gave up after exerting as much pull pressure as I dared, which was a lot.
    Am I missing something? I suppose I could cut the antenna wires and resolder them during reassembly.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bill
