HT2801 I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac

I inserted a memory card into the DVD in my imac and was wondering what external DVD drive will work with an iMac 21.5" late 2010. Would take it to be fixed but they take too long and can't really be wothout this computer. Thanks.

turn it off, and turn it on its side and see if you can gently shake it out. You could also cut a firm piece of cardboard in the shape of a hook to help fish it out. Also, any external dvd player will work.

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.

Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro? I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.

See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked fine until today, I double clicked on the card icon on the desk top and it disappeared! Any suggestions?

When I insert an SD card into the iMac nothing happens. It worked until today, when I double clicked on the SD card icon on the desktop and then it disappeared! Cannot find in "Finder". iPhoto does not open upon inserting card. Reformatted card with device (camera). Used Time machine to restart computer before the double click occurence...did not lhelp. Any suggestions?

Have a look in Finder Preferences: Click on the desktop, Finder>Finder Preferences.General tab - is there a tick in "External Disks'? If not, tick it.

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.

HT204384 I mistakenly put my SD camera memory card in the dvd slot on my iMac. Any ideas on how to get it out??

My small SD Card was mistakenly put in the larger CD/DVD slot. I cannot eject or pop out. I can't see it. I turned computer off and tipped on side to see if it would fall out...no luck. How can I remove it from the inside of the CD/DVD slot?

Then you should do a little research, start with a search of this forum, you will find many successful removals of the SD card using this method. It's easy to find them, just look on the right side of your screen for the heading 'More Like This'
Here is a link to the first one. Memory card & how to retrieve from inside iMac!!
The fact that the optical drive is a sealed unit means that your solution will not help with removing the SD card from the drive, unless you were going to suggest breaking the drive open, after dismantling the iMac. Which is a very difficult task.
Bad advice I would say.

I accidentally inserted my SD card into the CD slot! How do I get it out?

The CD slot is so close to the memory card slot, and I usually find them by feel as they are on the far side of the computer. I have to actualy stand up to peer around the side of my screen. While trrying to retrieve the card, I heard something drop, presumably it has droped inside somewhere.
Actually, its a ridiculous place to put the card slot. Why
not in the front where you can see?

Go to youtube.com and search for "remove SD card iMac" and you will find many solutions.

I stupidly pushed an SD card into the DVD drive slot,

how should I proceed? MBP mid 2010
I know, how did you do that? my wife was distracting me and the slot is on the right side on my Imac..

On AppleCare warranty? Hightail it to an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Have them take off the optical drive and get the card out. Keeps your warranty intact.
Else decide whether you want to be a Do It Yourself hero or not. No? See above. Yes? www.powerbookmedic.com or www.ifixit.com have instructions on how to take the optical drive off the Mac, after which you can shake the card out.
Somebody might suggest trying to fish the card out, but from the size of the slot on the aluminum unibody, you're most likely to scratch the case, damage the drive and ruin the card. Taking the drive off is much safer, albeit a bit more involved.
EDIT: are you talking about your MacBook Pro or an iMac? This is the MBP forum....

Computer freezes when inserting a USB Bus Card into the slot.

I use this card as a way to capture video in FCE. I also have 2 external HD's which I use a scratch disks. I have used this configuration in the past and it has worked properly, however now, when I insert my USB card into the slot the computer freezes, has to be shut down, and I get this error message.
Can anyone tell me what's up? Thanks from Korea!!!

Bad card

I recently got a iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download my photos from the memory card for my camera, a Sony Cybershot. When I put my memory card in the adapter and plug it in to the iPad nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I recently purchased an iPad camera connection kit hoping to directly download pictures from my camera to my iPad. When I put my memory card into the adapter and plug it in to my iPad nothing happens. My camera is a Sony Cybershot and the memory card is a Sony memory stick PRO duo 512 mb. I don't think I am doing anything incorrect. Is my camera/memory card incompatible with this adapter?

The Camera Connection Kit works with SD cards, not Memory Sticks.
Maybe you can find an MS to SD adapter, or use the USB connection with the USB cable that came with the camera.

Autoimport when inserting a memory card

Hi,
When inserting a memory card in the reader, the dialog that popped up used to give me the option to import using LR. But this option is gone now after updating from 2.4 to 2.5. In the LR preferences, the setting that enables automatic import when a card is inserted is turned on.
What's wrong? How to get the automatic import back?
Windows XP.

The bug that caused LR to start importing every time a card was attached to the machine in LR 2.4 has now been fixed so this annoying behaviour has gone away.
If you want it back, then ensure that the "show import dialogue when memory card is detected" in the Import dialog of the Preference is selected and also ensure that the Windows OS setting for auto play for data cards is set to LR.

I am unable to download pictures from my Sony Cybershot to my iMac, I have tried using the USB port as well as simply inserting the memory stick into the slot. I have been able to do this in the past as recently as a few weeks ago.... Help please..

Thanks Eric for responding.
I checked and it does not appear in the Applications folder.
I tried yesterday on an ethernet connection with a download speed of 2 Mbps but, unfortunately the connection died(It happened from the ISP end, which is out of my control) in between after which there was no trace of the download that happened for so long(till the internet connection death).
One more serious query which I am unable to understand. If the internet connection, dies in the midst of the download is in progress why is it so that the state does not persist and one has to restart the entire process again. Is there no solution for this?
I tried so many times and its the same case after some amount of download it vanishes. So many unsuccessful attempts. I am ****** off now. Is it not possible to see Mavericks? Why does different machines of Apple behave differently? Somewhere it goes smoothly and somewhere like my mine. Why did not Apple release a non apple store version? Is this not a bad sign of letting the users struggle when something is being offered for free?
The reason I asked as whether we can download the .app of Mavericks is that, there are so many applications that I have downloaded web and have installed. All that works fine. Can't we do the same here? You download a copy of Mavericks installer application and upload it for me in Google drive or like online storage places which can be downloaded and used by me? Help me understand.
Thanks again.
