Windows 8.1 64bit ,eject button not working

I have an imac and have installed windows 8.1 64 bit and everything works well except my eject button on my apple keyboard. so now I cant intall any programs from disk. also my apple super drive isn't showing up omn 'my computer ' in windows
im pretty sure I installed the needed newest drivers...so what am I missing?

On your Bootcamp drivers there should be a driver named AppleODDInstaller64.exe which is the Optical Disk Drive installer. You can copy this to the a USB and install it on the Windows side for it to recognize the Optical disk and the eject button should work. You are also going to need AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe for the keyboard to be recognized.
There is also a mechanism to eject the disk using OSX terminal and using diskutil eject on the OSX side. See man diskutil for the OSX side.

Eject Button Not Working

When i press the eject button, the cd or disc inside my macbook pro does not come out, so instead i have to drag the disc to the eject icon, which is really annoying, this is not a new problem to me, but it has gotten to me, so please if anyone has any answers please help!

All I can think of is that somehow you've mapped the Eject key to another function, have you installed any utilities that allow you to change how the Function keys work ?

Remote control and eject button not working?

Hey.
Not too much to explain - my remote control does not work at all, and neither does my cd eject button on the keypad. This is after the installation of Leopard.
I've tried to search for the issue but only find people complaining about the new Front Row design or how they cannot eject volumes at all. (Which is not my case)
Has some people had this error and fixed it?
Thanks in advance.

The remote control could be because I deactivated my IR receiver
That leaves my eject button.

Clock will not display, Eject button not working

Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Ryan,
I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

Eject button not working on dvd/cd tray

You name it, I've tried it! Apples advice was to backup my work and wipe the dripe and reinstall the OS. Guess what - the eject button still doesn't work! Well done apple. That'll be 2 days wasted of precious production time.
All this after a new power supply and logic board being installed by the apple store in birmingham because the mac had no power going to it. (6 week old MacPro 2.66) Yet the eject button worked fine when it came back from repair.
Has anybody got and realistic ideas as to why the eject button doesn't work.
I can manually eject the tray and also when using toast I can eject the tray - its just in the OS that its not working. I hav tried dropping a link to the eject button on the customize menu but the icon is just greyed out.
I have even dropped in a brand new cd/dvd drive from another mac still with the same result.

Right - the story is concluded - Finally!!!! Apparently when the technician removed the optical drive unit whilst fitting the new power supply and logic board he didn't fit the cables back into the right places on the drive!!!
But at least now its fixed and I can get back on with some work.

Lock button not working + still have warranty. What do I have to do?

Hello!
Yesterday my lock button stopped working. I still have my warranty but the problem is I live in Belgium and there is no Apple Store there. Is there any way I can get my phone repaired without having to go abroad? I'm now using Assistive Touch but it just doesn't feel the way it should...
Greetings & thanks!

To get any iOS device repaired much be done so in country of where th device was purchased. So if where you live is where you purchased the device then contact Apple Support whcih is given for your area of livinging.
If the iOS device was not purchased where you live, then willl need to figure out how to go about getting to where the iOS device was purchased to get repair done for it.

MSI ge60 onc-293xcz - screen off button and eject button not working

Hello,
I have recently bought the above mentioned device and I have a problem with 2 buttons which are between speakers as they are inactive.
Could you please advise if there is any driver update which actually brings them back to life?
Another thing is Turbo button - I read that this model does not support overclocking mode which is probably the reason why this button cannot be used manually and it turns on and off only when the system needs.
Thank you for your replies

do you have SCM installed? [or SBAR]
what OS you're running?

To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Power button not working with 7.1 update

Power button not working with 7.1 update

I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
I seriously think Android is calling me...

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
Regards.
