I can't get the dvd out of the machine

i was checking out the native instruments absynth 3 tutorial dvd. after quit the dvd i can not manage to eject it , i get a message saying that dvd is still in use and i have to quit the applications and try again. but there are no applications open, i even tried to force quit the finder , then shut the machine off. and turned it on again , no avail. i can't get the dvd out. any ideas?

Restart the machine with the Option, Command, O, and F keys held down, and type the following commands into the prompt:
eject cd
mac-boot
The DVD should be ejected once the first command has been issued. There are some other options available on this page.

How can i get HD video out from the lumia 900. ? Is there some kind of gable. ? N8 has HD cable port..so where is lumia`s port. ?

Download Zune and start it, when started connect your Lumia 900 and you can now transfer mediafiles from the Lumia to your PC through a USB connection. For Mac use the Mac connector.

How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

How can I get a dvd out of a mini?

My Mac Mini will not start. I need to get the system DVD out of the drive. How can I do that?

If the unit can not be powered up it will have to be taken apart.
The good thing is the cd/dvd rom is right on the top of the unit so you do not have to really dig into it.
The cdrom has 4-5 very small screws that once out the top cover of the cdrom comes off revealing the cd that you need.
Take a look at this.

A dvd will not eject from my brand new IMac. I have done every suggestion in the help area. Any suggestions on how to get this DVD out of the computer?

My brand new IMac will not eject a DVD. I have tried everything that was suggested in "help". It didn't recognize the dvd, and whenever I try to eject it, it is not highlighted. I have tried to restart while holding the track pad, and nothing happened at all. The dvd is from the library...so it needs to be returned! Any other suggestions?

Have you tried all of these?
1. Pressing the Eject key while opening the iMac.
2. Pressing the Eject key while closing down the iMac.
3. Holding down the Option key while restarting the iMac.
4. Using Disk Utility to try to Mount, Repair and Eject the disk.
5. Holding down the Mouse while restarting the iMac.
6. Pressing the O and F keys while closing down the iMac.
7. Opened Applications > Utilities >Terminal and typed in 'drutil tray eject'.

HT3413 How can I get composite video out of the 13" early/mid 2009 MacBook?

OK, the Mini-DVI - DVI Adapter "works with" the 13-inch, Early and Mid 2009 MacBooks.
But can it combine with a DVI to S-video and composite adapter so I can play video from my MacBook (one of the above) to my TV (composite input)?
It is stated in many places that the Mini-DVI to S-video and composite adapter doesn't "work with" these models, and I've proven that's the case.
But I can't find anywhere that explains why, or says more than "works with," or just tells me how I could get any external video from my MacBook other than VGA which is useless to me as far as I can tell.
Thanks for any help!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
Thanks

Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.

HT1766 How can I get a photo out of the iPhone camera roll to use in an email or another program

I have photos of my car that I took with my iPhone. I'd like to use them for an advertisement to sell the car. How do I get them off the phone or out of the backup folder that iTunes produces when I back up my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 computer.

Thanks, but I figured it out. I just had to find the files in Windows under what would be considered a "drive." Once there, the photos all show up in a folder as JPEG files. Got the ones I needed.

Simple question: I can't get my files out of the trash and back in iMovie

I was working on a project just now and iMovie crashed on me. Fortunately, all the clips I was importing were saved in the iMovie trash, but I can't drag them out of the trash and back into the clip menu! There's got to be something simple I'm doing wrong. Help!

If the project is saved on an external drive, check the disk format. And rule out software compatibility issues with third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime codecs.

Airport Express - Can't get started right out of the box.

First off I have Desktop with Windows XP SP3 and a Linksys wireless router and I don't know a whole lot about computers. I planned on using the Airport Express on an existing wireless network. My computer doesn't have a wireless modem but it's connected to the wireless router (just like it shown in the manual).
Installed the software (even got the new update), plugged in my Airport Express and hooked it up to the stereo. I opened up the Airport utility and it can't find the Airport Express. I read the instructions to join the wireless network for Windows. It says to hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your Airport network name (SSID), and choose it from the list. I don't have a wireless connection icon. I can connect my work laptop to the wireless router with no problem. What have I done wrong?????? I need help before I send this thing back.

Welcome to the discussion area!
If AirPort Utility cannot find the AirPort Express, hold in the reset button on the Express until the amber light blinks quickly, hold a few more seconds, then release.
Try temporarily connecting an ethernet cable directly from your computer to the AirPort Express to see if AirPort Utility will locate the AirPort Express that way. Assuming you get a connection, click "Continue" to follow the guided setup to configure your AirPort Express.
When asked how you want to use or configure the device in your system, choose the "Join a wireless network" option.
Once you have the Express configured and updated with new settings, you can disconnect the ethernet cable and locate that Express where it will be needed.

How can i get a pebble out of the hole for the headphones?

This afternoon i tried listening to my iPod, but when i was trying to put the headphones in the hole in the iPod it wouldnt let me put the headphones in and i looked and there was a pebble in there, which is pushed even deaper inside the whole for the headphones. i tried banging it on the table or my hand , anywhere and its not coming out, my warranty ended in October, so i dont no what to do.

you could try using a vacuum hose. hold on to your iPod really tight, turn on the vaccum and hold the headphones jack up to the vaccum until it comes out. just a suggestion. don't know from personal experience whether it will work. good luck, though!

My DVD Drive dosent work and its dented and i can't get my DVD out. I have apple care so would I be able to get it replaced?

So I somehow dented my DVD drive for my macbook pro but I tried putting a disc if it would work (stupid idea) It went in but it now wont come out. I've been wanting to get to apple for a while about my DVD drive not working and now my DVD is stuck in there. I have apple care plan so would I be able to take my macbook into the store and get it replaced or parts of it replaced?

Yes, if you are in warranty. Take it in, only Apple employees can speak for Apple ( we are users here, just like you).
