I accidently pushed a photo/video card into my CD slot and can't get it out. Any suggestions?

If you can Mark, take your iMac to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider.
IMHO, better to let Apple take care of this then inserting anything else in the slot that may damge the optical drive.

You'll be pleased to know you're not the first (or last) to do this .
Have a look at this old thread, Cathy 1956's tip on page 1 seems to work for a lot of people:

Worth reading the whole thread as other people have chimed in with other ways of extracting the disk.

If you can wrap some adhesive tape around a stiff business card and insert it inside and see if you can capture it. If possible, hold the MBP in a position where gravity is your ally.
You can open the MBP up, remove the optical drive and open it up or make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them extract it.
Ciao.

I drop my card in the large slot and it will not come out. help

There are lots of videos on YouTube on methods people use to retrieve them. If you are strong enough to lift the computer then try shaking it on it's side, obviously make sure it's unplugged before doing so.

Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.

Can I insert a SIM card into the iPhone 4S and activate Verizon later?

I am currently on AT&T right now. My billing cycle ends on October 18th which is 4 days after I should get the new iPhone 4S. I am planning to switch to Verizon so I also know that if you don't activate your phone, verizon will not start the billing cycle (for up to 14 days, after that which if you still have not activated the phone, Verizon will charge you full retail price). So while I wait 4 days for my AT&T billing cycle to be over, can I just stick my AT&T sim card into the iPhone 4S and then use AT&T without having to activate on Verizon? (after 4 days I will activate on Verizon). thank you!

What, you can't afford to overlap your phone plans for 4 days?
You will NOT be able to buy a Verizon iPhone 4S and walk out without having it activated on the spot. In addition, you will NOT be able to put an AT&T SIM into a Verizon iPhone 4S. If they treat it like their other world phones, it will only take a SIM issued by Verizon and provisioned for International roaming.

On-board sound card failing. Will BIOS let me add a sound card into the PCIE slot?

On-board sound card failing, consistently locking everything, (yes, I updated all drivers, codecs) so want to put in new sound card. Will the BIOS let me add a sound card into the PCIE slot? (of course after disabling the ReakTek onboard sound) I don't see an option to choose PCI or PCI-E in the setup screen (F10 at boot) for audio.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash. How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder? I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password. I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes. Please help.

Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect the computer from the Internet.

You really need to repair your computer.
