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 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??

    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.

    How I remove my credit card from my Apps Store Account??
    I want to avoid unwanted purcharses from my nephew.... Someone can help me?
    I know it's possible to "upgrade" one account adding credit card, I can not find a way to remove it.

    you can't from the iPad.
    Go to iTunes on a computer, log in with your apple ID and select 'account'.
    After that , select 'payment method' and select 'none'.
    Good luck
    PS: reply if you're having trouble. You use mac or windows?

  • How to remove credit card details from iPad 4. So I can download free apps from apps store??

    Please someone tell me how to remove credit card details from iPad 4, so I download free apps from App Store??

    None for payment
    After establishing the Credit Card account, you can remove the credit card information by editing your payment info, choosing "None".
    Note: You won't find "None" if you have not purchase anything with the Credit Card.

  • How to remove the credit card from the Apple id?

    how to remove the credit card from the Apple id?
    plz ITS urgently

    If the option to select "None" isn't appearing when you attempt to edit your payment information, then there is likely a billing issue with your last iTunes Store purchase(iTunes didn't receive payment from your credit card company for that order). Before you can remove your credit card, you have to pay for the unpaid order. You can call your credit card company and troubleshoot the billing issue with them, or try another card, or if you live in a country that supports iTunes Gift Cards, you can redeem one of those to pay for the order. Once you have done that, you should be able to remove your credit card info as outlined in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918

  • How to remove my credit card from the App Store

    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 particular gadget from windows7 image

    sir how to remove a particular gadget from all other existing gadgets in windows 7sp1 image, can we do it by DISM?

    Hi,
    If the above method doesn't work, you can try pre-configuring sidebar gadgets using unattend.xml, which can be used to override Sidebar default settings.
    To disable Windows sidebar gadgets when windows load, you can configure this following in your unattend.xml.
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State">
    <settings pass="oobeSystem">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Sidebar" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral"
    versionScope="nonSxS" processorArchitecture="x86">
    <SidebarOnByDefault>false</SidebarOnByDefault>
    </component>
    </settings>
    </unattend>
    For detailed information, you can refer to
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sidebar/archive/2007/03/08/pre-configuration-of-sidebar-gadgets-using-unattend-xml.aspx
    Or try customize windows using sysprep tool

  • How to remove obsolete oss note from SPAU List

    Dear All,
       How to remove obsolete oss note from SPAU List. Bocz it having yellow trafic Signal and  it is not allowing me to reset to orginal or adopt.
    Please tell me how to reolve this problem.

    Hi,
    Please mention the Netweaver release of your system.
    Next, if you mention the note is obsolete - the traffic light should be grey.
    If its yellow, that means semi-automatic adjustment needs to be made.
    If you click on the obsolete greyed out note, you get a message saying the note correction was delivered with upgrade or support package and it could be reset.
    If you click on the yellow note, the system would try to reapply the note via SNOTE.
    Please try either or the above and let us know the system response.
    Regards,
    Srikishan

  • How to remove new line character from query output?

    Hi,
    How to remove new line character from query output?
    have tried select replace(column_name, CHR(10), ' ') from table_name.
    Edited by: GreenHorn on Sep 11, 2008 12:53 AM

    Please consider, that windows uses a sequence of chr13||chr(10) Unix uses only one character chr(10).
    The new line character(s) may be OS-dependent.
    You could consider both with:
    replace(replace(column_name, CHR(13)||CHR(10), ' '),CHR(10),' ')
