  • I inserted a DVD into my laptop and now it won't recognize it and it also won't eject it.

    I have tried rebooting the laptop and have heard it spinning and clicking but when I go to log in, it still won't reconize it. I can't eject it. Is there any way to fix this problem?

    if none of the below options work, you will need to bring it to a professional.
    Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • I have downloaded itunes songs into my library and now I want to import them into my DVD program, but they are MP4 files and I need them to be wma. files,  can I and how do I change them?

    I have downloaded itunes songs into my library and now I want to import them into my Adobe Premiere Elements DVD program.  When I did it before, they were already .wma files, now they are MP4 files and they won't go.  How do I change these MP4 files into .wma files?

    Hi leastoners,
    If you're trying to insert a file into a Word document, your best bet is to check the Word online Help. (What you describe sounds like a function of Word, not of Acrobat). I did a quick search and came up with this: Add a PDF to a document - Word. But I'm not sure that's what you're looking for.
    If I misunderstood your request, please let me know and we can take it from there.
    Best,

  • I have upgraded my OS into Mountain Lion and now I cannot see any net storage disks. may someone help me? thanks

    I have upgraded my OS into Mountain Lion and now I cannot see any net storage disks. may someone help me? thanks

    Hi kiwirudy,
    I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
    I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
    Here are some steps I've found useful:
    Close the Mac App Store.
    make a copy of the  ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
    Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
    This should open it in Property List Editor.
    Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
    Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
    Save the manifest.plist and close it.
    Open the Mac App Store.
    The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
    In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
    start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
    copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
    Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
    It should continue from where it left off.
    This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
    Regards
    Nic

    Yes, connect to your computer with the latest version of iTunes installed and restore it. If it doesn't show up in iTunes when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I put music from a CD into my iTunes and now it won't sync to my iPhone 4S

    I put a CD onto my iTunes and then tried to sync my phone with my itunes on my computer and the album isn't showing up on my phone. No error message showed up and there's more than enough space left on my phone. I've tried restarting both devices. Do I need a new phone/computer? Do I have to go to the apple store? Please help!!

    i had the same issue, though my mac desided to take all my music off my phone and i managed to fix it by unchecking the option to sync any music in the devises music tab clicking apply and then reticking and then clicking apply again so maybe give this a go?
    Good luck!

  • I have adobe readerx1 it also has acrobat and now i cant find my file there i want my pdf files put

    i have adobe readerxi it has acrobat now i cant find my pdfs on acrobat . i want them sent back to my adobe reader xi

    Files (PDF documents) are not stored in Acrobat or Adobe Reader; they are simply files on your disk.
    If you mean what program should open your PDFs by default, use Edit | Preferences | Select Default PDF Handler to specify the default program.

  • Have copied Itunes to reboot my PC and now it won't play my purchased items

    Hi
    I hope someone can help with this. I had to reboot my PC, so copied my Itunes onto a memory stick, then later reloaded it back on. Everything is fine except that my purchased items won't play, or load onto my Ipod. When I click on one it says that the PC is not authorized to play it, so I enter my password, and it contacts the store, and then tells me that 'This computer is already authorized'. But the track won't play..?
    I'm guessing I've done something wrong, but don't know what. Is there any way of retrieving these files or are they lost?
    Thank you!!
    JB

    Welcome to AD!
    That authorization loop is annoying, isn't it? It's happened to quite a few folks.
    Here are some steps to try.
    1. Deauthorize, then reauthorize your PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    Sign out and sign back into the store to authorize all the accounts, even that old one from 2 years ago that you forgot about.
    2. Delete the SC Info folder. The _entire folder_, not just the file. It will get rebuilt the next time you start iTunes. Don't forget to _restart your PC_, as the article says.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    3. Get a free single of the week, which has the latest DRM on it, and play a few seconds of it. This sometimes will present a new terms of service you need to agree to.
    Something else that has been suggested, is to delete one of these problem tracks but DO NOT SEND IT TO THE RECYCLE bin. Then re-add it to Itunes and see if it will play. Just do one track to check this out. Nobody has ever posted back to tell me whether this works.
    If you still can't get purchases to play, contact iTS support.

  • I have just had to updte my IoS and now it won't sync with my existing account. Irritating and as ever Apple support is completely rubbish. Can anyone help?

    Can any one help? Apple are rubbish and I refuse to hang on the phone and give them any more of my money.

    Try and reset your iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

  • I have purchased a song on my iphone and now it won't play in my library on my computer

    I brought th song Don't Drop that Dun Dun Dun on my iphone 4s. I backed my phone up on to my computer and was playing my library and the song only played for 3 seconds. My phone plays the whole song though.

    Hi Krys1030,
    You can try deleting the song and downloading it again by following this article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
