I cannot eject DVD from iMac. It sounds as if it is trying to eject. I've tried onscreen eject and keyboard eject key.

Restart the computer while holding down the eject key.

I can't eject dvd from imac 27

i cant eject dvd from imac 27 some tips please

Restart and hold down a mouse button. That signals the system to force eject any disc in the drive. If that doesn't work then the drive might of failed or at least the eject motor of the drive.

Lets take first issue first: Apple does not charge a customer to 'keep' iPad access. That does not happen at apple. If you were billed and charged that amount of money from someone you were speaking to over the phone, you were not talking with Apple support. If you need to speak with apple support you are free to call them at 800MYAPPLE and they will talk to you for no more money than 19.00/ support event.
Please read this article to asssit with imessage and factime troubleshooting.

I'm sorry you have this happen to you - that being charged fraudulently for a non rendered service.
Good luck to you Friend.

Unable to back up external hard drive via Time Machine. Says no room but has back ups from two previous Mac notebooks on it. Tried deleting them and now can't do anything. Any ideas?

As john noted, eventually that external is probably not going to be big enough, but it certainly is for now. The HD just needs enough capacity to cover the amount of data on your internal HD, not the internal HD's total capacity.
Format/partition the external as follows and you should be set to go:
1. Connect the external HD to the MBP.
2. Open Disk Utility on the MBP.
3. Select the external HD in the left pane.
4. Click on the Erase tab.
5. Choose the Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
NOTE: if you want to zero the HD (which I always think is a good idea, but does take time), click on Security Options, click the button for Zero Out Data, click OK. The larger the HD, the longer this will take, in some cases several hours.
6. Click on Erase and wait for the entire process to finish.
7. Click the Partition tab.
8. Click on Volume Scheme: and choose the number of partitions (just one in this situation).
9. Click on the Options button (located underneath the Volume Scheme pane) and select GUID.
10. Click Apply.
11. Quit Disk Utility.
Backup your internal to the external. What application are you using to backup with? I highly recommend both SuperDuper! and CarbonCopyCloner.

Many thanks lllaass,
The Touch Copy third party software for PC's is the way to go it seems and although the demo is free, if you have over 100 songs then it costs £15 to buy the software which seems not a lot to pay for peace of mind. and restoring your iTunes library back to how it was.

Cannot Send Email From iMac

I cannot send email from any of my accounts via any of the asssociated servers, however I can receive mail through any of my accounts and servers. I haven't touched any of the preference setttings for any of the accounts so am really in the dark as to where to start to look for problems. I am using OS X 10.8.3.

Sound and Keyboard Illumination Keys Not Working!!!

This is very strange...
I just spent a few days in the hospital. Fortunately, one of the amenities provided was free Wi-Fi. As it turned out, many people took turns using my Powerbook while I wasn't using it myself.
Most of the people that were there visiting, are not Mac-savvy, and when I got my Powerbook back, I discovered a strange surprise.
I have no sound. But it goes further than that, because the sound keys have been completely disabled! So have the keyboard illumination keys!
The icon is grayed out, and there is a circle, with a slash through it, beneath.
Here's a pic:

I can't for the life of me, figure out how to fix this!
I am running 10.5.2 on a Powerbook G$

Hi,
Try this:
The little 'do not enter' symbol you see means that is turned off...
For sound, the F3 key toggles the sound on and off (but does not adjust the volume). If the sound is on, the F4 key turns the volume down, and the F5 key turns the volume up. But with this, the F3 has to be touched to be on, and that symbol will disappear... then use the F5 key (you have to keep tapping it for it to move the volume. Only tap the F3 key once to turn it on, and once to turn it off.
The keyboard is much the same way. The F8 key turns it on or off, while the F9 lowers the intensity and the F10 raises the intensity. Again, one tap on the F8 for on and another for off... with multiple taps on the F9 and F10 to decrease or increase illumination.
That same screen you saw, should be seen but with hash-marks either grey (off) or white (on)... for both. While the sound has the arching sound waves from the horn if it is on, not when it's off. The keyboard has the curved hash marks around the top.
You do have it, if that screen shows... it's just to keep tapping the F5 and the F10 to increase both so you can see/hear the effects.
Enjoy

Ejecting DVD from iMac Core Duo when there is no OSX system on the HD

I used the Install DVD to erase the HD prior to disposal. As there is now no OSX system on the HD I can not eject the DVD. I've tried Disk Util off the DVD and Terminal but nothing works.
Any other ideas other than installing a limited OSX to eject the DVD.

iMac was Snow lepoard now empy

Many thanks it worked. I had to plug the mouse in the back of the iMac and not in the keyboard.

Viewing DVD from iMac to TV....

This maybe a stupid question but I am connecting my iMac to my Sharp Aquos with an HDMI cable. I want to use my iMac as my DVD play for my TV and to record TV programs. I can get the video (back ground or desktop) to show on the TV but not my DVDs. What am I doing wrong? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done wrong?

Hi oscar76: It sounds like you are almost there. When you open DVD player to view the movie, you can now drag the DVD player screen onto the TV. The TV is displaying your desktop, you just need to drag to it whatever you need/want to see on the big screen.
Hope this helps

Dvd from iMac to wifi tv

Can I play a dvd on my iMac to watch on my wifi tv? Can built in Airport send dvd to tv? I actually have an external router connected now, and can stream Netflix on my tv, but not everything is offered streaming. Also, we own some dvds that we'd like to watch. My dvd player is broken and I don't want to buy a new one if I don't have to. I also have an old (1st gen) mac mini that's just sitting in a closet- could that be used as a dvd player?

Mine is separate as well, but I have used my Macbook hooked up to the TV. It works. Since he said he has a Mini, that may work as well; if it's older, it won't have HDMI, so he'd need two cables, one for video and one for audio (same with my older Macbook) - that might be the most reasonable solution especially since he could put the Mini near the TV. Of course it'll only work if the Mini has Airport; otherwise, there'll be cables snaking through the house (just as they would with the iMac without the Apple TV). Using the iMac without the Apple TV, he'd have to still control the iMac which may be in another room or even another floor. So that's not really the best solution.
FWIW, I tried it with my new iPad and hooked it up to my TV - now all I need is to find a movie online I want to watch! Just plugged it in and it worked (picked up the signal from my router) ......

Internal super drive cannot burn DVD from iDVD

I using MacBook pro 15" from 2010, when I using iDVD brun my DVD when the process go to multiplexing the disc kick out from super drive cannot complete the burning, but I used another mac to burn is work, I think is my Macbook pro super drive got a problem, so how can I fix the super drive problem, I try to download the super drive framware 3.0 but got the message said the update not for my macbook pro, I buy the new extenal super drive, go the message the super drive not support for my mac, I really need help. please please.

See Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic: Multiplexing Error
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
