HT201177 inserted a CD into my mac and it doesn't play or even eject the CD, i tried to reboot several times but still it wont come out.
My Mac is very slow and some times takes a while to start up, is there a way to defrag or speed up. i don't have alots off stuff on my laptop use my hard drive..
Can anybody help ASAP.
Eddie
Sure ! -I"m presuming you're using a Mac Pro and not a MacBook Pro, which are different cats. For the CD, reboot and hold down the mouse button, and keep holding it down, then the CD should eject. Failing that, you could try "the old paperclip trick". carefully pull down the aluminum shutter covering the cd tray and look underneath the tray, You'll probably see a power light and a small hole. use a very stiff, sturdy paperclip, straighten it out and stick it in the hole.The tray should now release just enough for you to grab the tray and get the cd out. As for your Mac running slow, how much RAM do you have on board? Try running Disk Utility, Onyx or TechTool Pro, hopefully 1 of those 3 should help your Mac run better. Just FYI, this is a Mac pro forum, y'know the tower things, not Macbook pro-just letting you know for future reference. The paperclip trick probably won't work if it's a portable Mac. also, try doing an SMC reset....

My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you. -
I have an iPod touch and also have the iHome.... When I first hooked it up it played music fine.....but now when I hook it up it says accessory unavailable for iPod touch and I've resetted it 2 times but still no music comes thru the iHome speakers
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

Question: when i try to purchase a movie or tv show from apple tv, the message comes back that I must go to itunes store on my computer and authorize the purchase, which I have done several times but apple tv still won't let it happen

Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article. -
I have iWorks for a Mac Mini, I want to install that software on my MackBook Air, but it keeps telling me to update the software, I have updated it several times. Still no go, any ideas how to get past this problem? Thanks!
Movies are not bought via Netflix, then are rented or borrowed.
For iTunes account issues, contact iTunes Customer Support. -

After all you've tried, Dah*veed is probably right about needing warranty assistance.
But first check to be sure Settings-Airplane Mode is set to OFF, and Settings-WiFi-WiFi is set to ON.
Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to your WiFi.

Hi,
I've recently gotten an iPhone 5s and apprently messed up and lost all my contacts. I tried doing a back-up to regain everything...but failure.
Now. when i go into my iMessage, i type a letter expecting the persons whos contacts i've added back to appear...NO.. all the contacts (including those that i've lost) appear there to select.
However, when i go into my contacts now, i can't see the ones that were intially lost. help please.Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
Here is an article you can refer to below:

when attempting to log into my account on itunes it ask for my password! I put my password in then I get the prompt again asking for my apple password! I put it in again and it still won't take!! What can be going on? I'm trying on my Mac pro !! Everything is up to date on the the latest Itunes version!!
I just asked the same thing and did some research. Some people have said that the UDID code is like banned from instagram, but your account isn't. I'm able to use it on my phone but not on my iPod.

In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

When I open FIrefox, it asks me to upgrade to the new version. I download it, and move it to my applications file as directed. Then I restart, and it goes back to the old version. I have a macbook pro. What should I do to get the newer version to run?
You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

also mention to that is when i connect ipod to my mac it's not getting recognized now. so i don't know can i get into reboot mode and try putting up new firmware rather thant rebooting on it. need help. i
do a full reset and recover from backup, and be patient this time, allow the prcoess to complete. Upgrades can take hours to finish, many people disconnect or try to restore the iphone before its finished updating, flashing itself and rebooting.
