I can't get any CDs into my Macbook's CD drive

As far as I can tell, earlier this week I removed my game CD out of the drive. Today, as I was trying to sort out some issues, I tried to put my Mac OS X instalation cd in and it just won't go in. Its almost like there is a blockage keeping it from going in any further than 1/4 of the way.
Like I said, my laptop isn't telling me there are any discs there and as far as I can remember there shouldn't be anyway. My sister was telling me there is a shortcut that you can use to eject a cd in case its just sorta "stuck" there but is invisible to the system. Anyone know what I should or could do, or should I just carry it to an Apple repairman?

problem solved. I bought a new router (D-link) and now everything works as it should do. but thanks for the help anyway.

Can't get any videos into itunes

I have a few that were already there, but I have some new shows I have converted to Mp4 and I can't get them to import into iTunes. Any idea why they won't import?
Jason

I'm having the same problem. I've got 2 test videos: 1 from handbrake using the iPhone settings and the other is a quick movie recorded in iMovie and exported to iPod.
When I try to drag them into iTunes the cursor changed to the green "+" but nothing happens. I've also tried going through File>Add to Library... with similar the same lack of result.
iTunes is 7.4.2 freshly re-installed.

Hi, I'm running Logic Pro 8 with an audiophile sound card. I have my keyboard midi-ed into the sound card and obviously plugged into the computer. I can't get any input into the computer though. Nothing registers when I play. Output is fine. Any help? Tha

Hello,
My midi keyboard isn't registering on Logic Pro 8 and I can't work out why. It's all plugged up correctly. The sound card outputs fine - I can hear what I've previously recorded but can't input any more. Any help gratefully received.
Stephen.

Hi, thanks for reply. I was running Logic Express but upgraded. Now I seem to have problems. I have latest drivers for my audiophile. The operating system is 10.4.11. The keyboard just doesn't seem to register - in or out. I've spent hours on the environment, trying to decide which of the conflicting video tutorials to follow......

How can I get my data off my MacBook Pro hard drive?

So initially, water was spilled on my MacBook Pro keyboard. I promptly shut it down, turned it upside down, mopped up the water and let it dry out for a day near a heater. The next day it worked fine and continued to do so for about 2 more days until it decided it would no longer start up. Right now it can't make it to the login screen at start up, it just shuts down, the same thing happens in safe mode as well. So, since I haven't backed up my data recently, I was wondering if there was a way I could rescue my data from the hard drive. I did take it in to the Genius Bar, but they couldn't help me since it wouldn't start up in safe mode. Is there a way around this like hooking up an alternate monitor or am I just screwed?

Thanks very much for the advice. I trawled through the other answers on the site and it appears others had the same issue. I doubled the available space and the install went like clockwork... which is what one would norma;ly expect from Apple :-)
Maybe Apple should have a ' definitely read me first' notice before a download takes place with CLEAR instructions to have more than the 6GB they indicate ofr the Mountain Lion download

You need to convert the forma of DVDs to one compatible with the iPod. If the DVDs are commercia ones with DRM it is not legal to convert them.

Adobe Acrobat 8.....I can't get any of the text formatting items into my Toolbar....such as below.

I can't get any of the above in my Toolbar. I have everything else. It was there earlier, then I somehow customized something and they are now gone. Any way to restore those? Thank you.

Up until yesterday, my Word 2003 Toolbar(formatting text, font size, color, etc.) was part of my Adobe Acrobat 8 Toolbar. I made a change...somewhere and it disappeared. How can I get it back? Thank you. It is the Word Toolbar that is used in this Forum.

I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can't Get Any Guitar Sound

Hey guys!
I just got the new Logic Pro Studio yesterday. I'm trying to record some riffs using the amp designer and such. I have my guitar hooked up to a Behringer Guitar Link USB. I set up the proper input and output showing CODEC, but I still can't get any sound from it.
I thought it was the Guitar Link so I opened Garageband and everything turned out ok.
Any help would gladly be appreciated.
Thanks!

Well, do you have headphones or speakers plugged into the Behringer? You aren't by any chance expecting sound to come out of the speakers hooked up to the Mac are you?
Which version of Logic?

Can't import any images into iPhoto

Hello,
I am on my honeymoon and trying to offload pictures from my camera but have found that I can not import any pictures into iPhoto. I am unable to import any file, not just the ones on my camera. I have tried jpgs, gifs, and pngs from various sources and none of them import.
So far I have tried holding down option and creating a new library, deleting the plists, rebooting, and reapplying the latest iPhoto update. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT204266 I can't get any updates or download new apps because I "cannot connect to the iTunes Store" yet I am able to do other Internet related things. Please help!

I can't get any updates or download any new apps from iTunes because I "cannot connect to the iTunes Store" or sometimes it says server. I have no trouble getting my email or surfing the Internet, so it is a problem specific to accessing iTunes. Incredibly frustrated! Please help!

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited in iPhoto first and sent to PE13 for adjustments, it can be sent back to iPhoto library. Ideas?

After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited first in iPhoto, and sent to PE13 for adjustments,
I can get it back into my iPhoto library. Ideas?

Thanks for answering my question. I always have had RAW checked to an external editor which is PE13 on my Preferences panel in iPhoto.
I probably didn't make myself clear. When I send an ORIGINAL RAW untouched, unedited image to PE13 and do the editing and the
adjustments- (it looks great) and then try and SAVE it and forward it to my iPhoto library, it will not be sent. On the other hand if any editing
at all is first performed in iPhoto and then sent to PE13 for adjustments, and I SAVE it, it asks if I want to Replace this new edited image with
what already exists in my iPhoto library, I click REPLACE, the little wheel spins, I go to iPhoto and the new image is there. PE13 does
accept an original RAW image for editing because it will save it in PE13 in the RECENTLY EDITED column. Ideas? I need to keep my iPhoto
library intact. Ideas? Thanks.
