I have a CD stuck in the drive. Is there are quick fix or do I need to take it into an Apple store. I have a MacBook Pro 15"

I have a disc stuck in the drive. Is there a fix I can perform or do I need to bring my MacPro to the Apple store?
Phil

Here are some standard remedies.
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

Boot with the option key down. You will see a window showing all the bootable systems. Select the OSX boot and hit return. Once you are booted into OSX, use the Startup Disk system preferences to change your default boot volume.

You can exchange for an out of warranty exchange iPhone 4 at a price of $149 in US
you get an as new iPhone 4 and the Apple genius bar take your "bits"
Apple are about to offer a trade in programme in the US but I believe the donor iPhone must be in full working order to qualify

I have disabled my phone on vacation and do not have my MAC Book with me if i take it into an apple store can they restore it so i can atleast access my phone?

I have disabled my IPhone while on vacation and do not have my MAC book with me and it will not let me restore it on someone elses computer. If I take it into an Apple store can they do this?

More than likely, they can. So long as you're in the same country you live in.

Can you take an ipod touch into and apple store to have them fix a cracked screen without them having to sent it off to get it repaired?

I cracked the top left part of my ipod touch and i was wondering if i could take it into a apple store and they could repair it there instead of sending it away for repairs.

For the posts in this forum, Apple does not repair your iPod except maybe for a battery replacment. They will exchange it with a refurbished iPod. for this price:

I have an iPod classic and I accidently disconnected just before it was okay to disconnect. I have had this happen before and the only way to fix it was to take it into an apple store. Is there any way to fix it from home?

I have had this happen before. However, there was a moment when my computer froze and a series of thoughts happened and things happened with my computer. I thought for some reason that with my computer freezing right after I connected my iPod that my computer didn't recognize the fact that my iPod was connected. So I know what needs to be done to fix this porblem. My question is can I fix this at home or do I need to go into an Apple store to get it fixed? When this happened before, I had tried a couple different things before taking it in and nothing had worked.

You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup (if you have one) see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have a DVD stuck in the drive, how can i get it out

how can i get a disc that is stuck in my drive out?

Restart. Hold down the mouse or trackpad button at the chime until the disc ejects. If that doesn't work, it's physically stuck.

I had my screen replaced at a local shop and now the earpiece doesn't work. I have the original screen still, can I take it to an apple store and have it repaired?

I stupidly tried opening up my iPhone 5s to clean the rear camera a few weeks ago. In doing so I tore one of the cables on the display and it stopped working, as did the home button. I had to take it to a local shop where I was charged £100 for the screen repair and a new home button (I was told that the fingerprint scanner would no longer work).
Long story short, I took the phone back the next day because I couldn't hear anything through the earpiece, but the speaker was working. The guy did something to do my phone and fixed it temporarily, now about 3 weeks later it still isn't working.
I would take it back to the same shop and complain, but I will probably get the same shoddy service. I really regret not taking it to the apple store in the first place as it probably wouldn't have been much more expensive. What are my options?

Since everything you did voided your warranty, Apple will at best charge you the out of warranty replacement fee, and offer you a refurbished iPhone of same specs as your own.
You'll need to take it in and discuss your options with them directly if they wish to offer you any.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Can I walk into an Apple store and have them evaluate my current IPad 2 to see if I'm eligible for a newer version, and if yes can they transfer all the stuff that's on it to the newer version?

I just wanted to know if I went on site to a store if they could evaluate it and see if I could get a discount?
I have usb cable power cord and cover for it too.

Hi,
I also recommend gazelle.com. I've been pricing many to sell electronics we no longer use and gazelle seems best for me.
If you are trying to buy the ipad air, they're new, so I know you know there are no 'deals' to be had. But if you're thinking of buying an ipad 4, please consider this which I just sent to another poster with a refurbed ipad question. I wrote -
[I strongly suggest that you buy your refurb ipad directly from the Apple online refurb store. We bought two last Summer - 2012. They have been great.
All refurbed ipads come with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty, including the 90 days of phone support. They come in a box and include the charger, just like a brand new ipad. It just says refurbished near the bottom of he box. If you buy from other retailers, even authorized resellers, their own rules apply and they will not have been refurbished by Apple. Also, in most cases, you only get the remainder of the warranty that the original owner did not use.
The great thing is you might consider increasing your gb space for still less than the cost of a new one. They are a bargain right now.
If you decide on what you want, check the certified refurb store and order it fast. Because they are on the site when available, they can come and go. Some are back the same day and some can take weeks. Shipping is fast and free in the USA.
After the intro of the ipad Air, the ipad 4 refurbed price came down another $30.00. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
Whatever you decide to buy, enjoy.]
Hope this helps.

My MacBook Pro is malfunctioning and I do not have Applecare. Can I still take it to an Apple Store to have it looked at?

It all started after I downloaded the Maverick operating system. My computer gets "stuck" on different programs and I have to force shut it off by holding down the power button. First it started with changing the desktop background in system preferences, then my iPhoto would freeze up, now my iTunes is freezing up and I cannot sync my devices. I tried backing up my system but that won't even work either. Along with this, different programs on my computer now just close out unexpectedly. I am thinking it is either a virus or a software problem. I don't have AppleCare though, so what can I do? I don't live near any Apple Stores so I want to make sure I can actually do something about this before I drive some long distance to go find an Apple Store.

You can save yourself a trip by doing everything the Apple "Geniuses" will do.
1. Run the Apple Hardware Test. It will show nothing wrong.
2. Reinstall OS X. There will be no change.
3. Back up your data, erase the startup volume in Recovery mode, and install the OS again. Test without restoring any of your data. If you can't reproduce the problem with the machine in that state, then it's solved, as far as the "Geniuses" are concerned.
When you restore your data from the backup, the problem will reappear. Go back to the Apple Store, and the cycle will be repeated.
If you expect an Apple "Genius" to help you solve a problem with incompatible third-party software, which is what this probably is, you're going to be sorely disappointed. They're not allowed to do that, and they don't know how.

TS2518 license number has to be reentered every time I open Aperture after having data transfer done by Apple store to a new macbook pro. How do I get the license number saved?

I have to re-enter my Aperture license number and upgrade number every time I open Aperture after buying a new MacBook Pro and paying for the data transfer to be done at the Apple store. I can understand having to do this the first time but not every time. How can I get the license number saved?

Aperture 3.4.3 update specifically claims to fix the serial number problem. See the Release notes.
If you've already done the update and still have the problem, read this forum post about the same topic and a solution.

I cannot slide the screen when I want to activate my phone - is there an easy fix or do I need to drop it into the Apple Shop?

My iPhone 5c has just begun to play up. When I active the on button it asks you to Slide to Open, however I cannot perform that function. I tried turning it off by holding down the Power Button but when the sign comes saying slide to turn off, I cannot do that either ..... has anyone experienced this issue and if so how did you overcome the problem?

Hi necjd123,
If your iPhone's touchscreen is not responding, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting steps below.
Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Unplug your device.
Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

Ipod A1367 Accidentally Reset. How do I fix it? Do I have to take it to an apple store and have it serviced?

My ipod A1367 has somehow been accidentally reset. It won't do anything. It just shows a picture of the Itunes logo and the USB cord. What can I do???

What if I no longer have access to the synching computer?? An ex set it up and that is no longer an option.

I have a CD stuck in the drive. Is there are quick fix or do I need to take it into an Apple store. I have a MacBook Pro 15"
