HT1151 I stuck a smaller dick in driver, computer doesn't recognize its in there.

I thought the Mac Book pro was able to read the smaller disk. Now stuck in hard drive. Tried resetting computer while holding the mouse button, what should I do next

Try shaking it out. If you cannot get it out you need to take it in for service.
To a urologist, eh?

  • Latest iTunes update: computer doesn't recognize DVD drive

    I updated iTunes and my computer doesn't recognize my keyboard and my DVD drive.
    I was able to get the keyboard back by unplugging it and plugging it back in.
    I had to do a system restore to get back the DVD drive.
    I don't want to reinstall the update until I'm sure this won't happen again.

  • MacBook Air doesn't recognize its own hard drive.

    Hey, so I have a MacBook Air that I purchased in 2012 and last night, I was going to download the new update for my iPhone, but before I did, iTunes mentioned something about transferring new purchases. The only thing close enough to consider as such were two new apps I downloaded for free. However, after I synced my iPhone and was about to start the update, it froze. So I restarted it and when I did a blank screen with a flashing question mark showed up. It did that foray hour or two and then I got to the Mac OS X Utilities screen with the four options to restore my computer. I couldn't use any of these though because my computer didn't recognize its hard drive. Planning to take it in for help but would love to hear any suggestions. Thanks!

    It sounds like your SSD (Solid State Drive) has failed, mine did the same thing two weeks ago. There has been a problem with the 2012 MBA SSDs and many people have the same issue. If you take it to Apple, they should be able to sort it out.

  • I tired to delete a file to the trash but it is stuck.  It says "preparing to send to trash" and its been there for 2 days

    On the left above in the menu bar you see the first icon is a little apple.
    If you clcik it, there is  a menu. Click "About this Mac" it will show the OS, processor and memory.
    (Everything about your mac, you will see when you click "More Info" in that panel).
    I suppose that the "file" (icon) is a link to Sky TV:
    Quit Safari by clicking "quit" in the Safari menu ( ! ), then drag the icon in the Trash bin again. Empty the Trash (rightclik on it); when it will not empty the Trash bin, rightclick the Trash bin while holding the CMD key and "secure empty the trash".

  • My install DVD is stuck in the drive, I've tried everything, the computer doesn't recognize it. Help??

    My mac was being slow.. i tried a lot of stuff but finally decided to just clear the disk and reinstall snowleapord. I had done this before and solved the problem slowness issue. I stuck the DVD in the drive before restarting but when I tried to boot from it the disk just spun but didn't boot. the mac booted from my harddrive just like normal.. I've tried everything to get it out. Holding down the mouse, drutil eject tray in terminal, disk utility, booting and holding eject.. Nothing has worked. the disc spins on waking up or starting up but it is never recognized, its never on the desktop doesn't show up in disk utility.. I don't know what to do at this point and i think its starting to effect my mac. Spinning wheel on almost every application and obviously battery problems from the disc being spun every time i open it in class. Its finals week and i need my mac for notes/papers/tests etc.. so i cant take it to the nearest apple store for a couple weeks.. please help. thanks!

    Try pressing the eject button in the top right corner of your keyboard (it the one next to volume increase).
    I had this problem with a DVD + R and after trying everything I realized there is an eject button.

  • My computer doesn't recognize my CD/DVD drive

    I am trying to install software for the camera I gave my husband for Christmas. On Friday I did install the software for the camera he gave me. I'm the only user of this computer and have done nothing unusual or different on it but for some reason it doesn't recognize that drive and I don't know how to overcome the problem. I've rebooted several times but that hasn't helped.
    Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this problem. Please keep it as simple as possible as I don't understand computer terminology at all.
    I'm desperate and don't want to have to take it anywhere to have it fixed.
    Thanks. Linda43
    Solved!

    You can probably fix it this way, Linda.

  • Computer Doesn't Recognize Ipod as a Drive

    When i plug in my friends iPods they pop up on my desk top and i am able to access them that way but when my touch is plugged in the computer does not recognize it. Itunes will charge it and recognize it but my computer wont. Is there a way to fix this?

    The iPod touch cannot be enabled as a disk drive and viewed on the desktop.

  • Iphone was in the middle of an update, and an error occurred. I think it is stuck in "restore" mode, but my computer won't recognize the device. How do I get it to work?

    My iPhone 4S was in the middle of the latest software update while connected to iTunes on my PC. After it took 45 minutes to download, a pop-up came up and said that an error had occured and it couldn't be updated. I made a mistake and clicked "Okay" instead of "More Information", and now my PC won't recognize the device and connect it back to iTunes. This happened to me last time I updated it, but I've tried everything I did last time and it won't work. I have a feeling I didn't have enough storage on my phone to update it, but now I am stuck and don't know what to do. My phone is frozen with the iTunes logo and the USB drive and says to connect to iTunes. What can I do to fix it?

    If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

  • Computer doesn't recognize my iPod anymore - Folder icon stuck on screen

    Help! The folder icon is stuck on my iPod....and now my iPod won't connect to the computer so I can try all the resets/restarts/re-whatevers. I have tried several different iPod USB cables.

    Suggestions when you run into a problem of a Sad iPod icon or a folder icon with exclamation point with your iPod.
    1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Still can't see your iPod?
    Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
    3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
    8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
    If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
    I suggest that you should try to do a Restore with a PC computer, and do a few attempts.
    But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod touch is stuck at the apple logo, and my computer doesn't recognize it as a device, so I can not restore it.

    I went to turn on my iPod Touch 2rd or 3rd generation, and it remained at the apple logo, and when I went to restore it, my computer/iTunes does not recognize it as a device, and so I am unable to restore it. I believe it is on iOS 5.0.1, but I am not sure.

  • 3GS phone is stuck on "connect to iTunes" graphic, iTunes doesn't recognize it

    During IOS 5 upgade process, after iTunes performed backup and wipe, screen went to "connect to iTunes" graphic, however, iTunes will not recognize it.  I can't perform a restore until I can get iTunes to recognize it.  Can someone give me detailed directions, please?  I have tried various steps directed by Apple on Apple Support page to no avail.  As suggested by others, I have done the "hold buttons down" trick to no avail.  I have removed all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes 10.5 multiple times to no avail.  I have tried different cables.  I have tried different ports. I have created different windows users on laptop.  I have tried to restore drivers but it says that no drivers exist.  I am running my computer with no add-ons and with nothing loading on initial startup.  I have disabled all security software and settings.  I have spent hours on here and on various websites through internet searches, reading various posts/threads and have tried everything I have seen suggested.  I have no Apple Store within 200 miles of me.  I'm at my wit's end with this.  Fwiw, I purchased an iPad 2 approx. 3-months ago and have never been able to get iTunes to recognize it.  Highly discouraged with these products to say the least.  If anyone has any suggestions other than what I've already mentioned above, please let me know.  Thanks in advance.
    computer: windows xp; sp3
    iphone: 3GS
    iTunes: 10.5

    Thanks, but yes I've tried that.  That was what I was referring to above when I said I tried the "hold the buttons down" trick.  I appreciate your response.
    Additional info:  My computer recognizes it; computer makes a "chime" noise when I plug and unplug it from the USB port.

  • My computer came back from apple, the computer doesn't recognize the hard drive, or let me login, what's wrong with it?

    It doesn't recognize me

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??
