I can't get a disk to eject. Tried all the recommended methods; still won't eject.

I inserted a printer setup disk but now the thing won't eject no matter what I do! Help was of no help. I'm hoping someone out there has run into this problem with a MacBookPro and can suggest something to try.

Try these various remedies:http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD

If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

Where can I get an Html error report of all the syntax and tag problems?

Where can I get an Html error report of all the syntax and tag problems?

Thank you for your answer.
Where is the DW validation for me?
My files are in my computer so I don’t have an external URL.
File > validation > as xml = closes DW... Maybe because it is not a correct command for HTML,
And
Window > results > validation = gives a partial mistakes (e.g. shows an open tag without closing tag, but doesn’t show a closing tag without an open tag).
Thank you.

I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods." Here are my suggestions.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked

I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked.
It worked just fine last weekend. I have windows 8.1 and a brand new pc, new iPod also, the new Nano. now after the update today, iTunes says iPod has been detected but could not be indentified properly. I can see it in windows. I tried the reset on the iPod also. what else can I do?? HELP

uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

You need to update the software. This is a very old version that will not work with the current OS. Did you purchase the software from the App Store? If do sign in with the Apple ID used to buy it. Go to the Purchases page and find the software.

Can't get laptop to recognize iPod: tried all "solutions".

I have tried all the solutions here and I still can’t get a single iPod to properly work with my computer. I’ve pretty much come down to the conclusion that the only way I can get an iPod to work is to get a whole new PC.
Granted I have an “ancient” four-year-old Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop with only one USB 1.1 port. However I have updated it and am running with 512MB of RAM, Windows XP Home and have added a Comp USA USB 2.0 PC Card. Through this card I have successfully connected a number of items with no problem.
• Router
• Cable Modem
• Logitech Harmony remote
• Canon SD450 camera
• HP laser printer
• Zen Micro MP3 player
• Flash drives
Some items are USB 1.1 and some are 2.0. But I’ve had as many as four items running at the same time and had no problem.
However, I can’t get a single friggin’ iPod to work properly!
When I connected the first iPod to the USB2.0 ports on the card (after installing the software) the system would not recognize it. I let it charge overnight and came back to an iPod that was probably pretty close to catching on fire. The screen was bright white and the whole thing was so hot I could barely pick it up. I returned that one.
With the second one I have a little more success. After uninstalling the iPod software I went through a “fresh” install like I had a new one. The computer recognized the second one so far as to assign it a drive letter. However the iTunes and iPod updater software would not recognize the iPod being attached.
Based upon Apple support articles, information from this and other iPod forums I tried all of the following “solutions”:
• Tried all four USB 2.0 ports and the one USB 1.1 built-in port: no luck.
• Restarted the laptop
• Reset the iPod
• Uninstall and reinstall software 4 times
• Went into the hardware power settings for the USB ports and changed the settings
• Unistalled and reinstalled all hardware.
• Download and install new USB drivers
• Checked: I have latest version of iTunes
• iPod service is running
• reinstalled COM interface
• removed iTunes
• Emptied temp directory
• Clean up iTunes installer file
Still nothing. Couldn’t even get the iPod to power uo.
Went back to the Apple store to exchange after they couldn’t get it to power up.
As recommended I tried a few other USB 2.0 PC cards that were on the approved list. Including the expensive ($50) Belkin card that Apple claimed had been tested to work okay with the 5th gen iPod.
The only options I see
• wipe the hard drive, reinstall XP and all my software an starting fresh
• buy a whole new “current’ desktop PC.
So am I just pooched?

So you installed Windows XP Home but did you install SP2!!!
Remember Ipods require SP2 If you have Windows XP Home Edition!!!!

How can I get my iPod touch to display all the artwork on my computer?

Hi,
I have an iPod touch 4th gen 32 GB with iOS 6.1 on it. I have trouble getting it to display all the album artwork that I have on my computer. Not all of my music has it, but about 90% of it does. Is there any way I can make it display everything that's on my computer? I have iTunes 11 on it and it is a Windows 7 computer. Thanks!

Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Can't get iTunes to install have done all Apple recommend on their support

Hi Everyone,
I am new to these and forums generally. And this request is on behalf of my teenage daughter, whose mini ipod I am trying to sort out.
I have got a problem installing iTunes and I am really hoping that someone here can help, as Apple's support don't seem to know how to resolve it, so look at this as a challenge.
I have gone through the recommendations that apple have given me and other than the itunesinstall,exe file on my desktop, I don't seem to have anything to do with iTunes or Quicktime on my computer, but when I try to install iTunes I get the following message: The installer encountered errors before iTunes could be configured.
To try these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Can anyone please please help, I am at my wits end here and have spent weeks searching for a way to simply install iTunes, Apple haven't been very helpful at all and I don't know what to do next.
I hope to hear some positive suggestions. Thanks for reading.

CoJeff,
No I can't install Quicktime either, each time I try to install it I get a message 'The older version of Quicktime cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group.'
I have gone through all the apple support pages and have removed every trace of Quicktime, from every part of my machine, yet it still says this every time.
I have also shut down all the other programs that run in the background, when I have tried to install both iTunes and Quicktime.
I just don't know what to do next, surely if apple don't have the ability to be able to sort this out, there is something wrong, but because my daughter's mini ipod is out of warranty (in fact prehistoric by todays standards) they aren't interested in helping.
I hope you can perform some kind of miracle here and she would love to be able to use it again.
Thanks

I can't get my ipod touch to slide all the way down on a docking station. The ends the stick up on the docking station seem to prevent it from going all the way down. What do I do?

I can't connect my ipod touch to a docking station. The ends stick up on the docking station connection piece. I believe that is what is preventing my ipod from sliding down all the way. What am I doing wrong?

If you know atleast a part of this please help me.

You coulduse the broadcast address (x.x.x.255) in an ICMP sweep to determine which hosts are alive (and accepting ICMP).
But no, there's not a single (and definitive / sure) way to retrieve all IP addresses.
