I have a CD which refuses to eject - no icon appeared for it, tried to eject and no response at all - can't even hear it trying, not showing on iTunes and any attempt to eject thro iTunes or any other programme seizes everything up

Sorting out my CDs.  Put one in and no response - no icons appeared on desktop, nothing showing on iTunes.  Tried to eject and absolutely no response - can't even hear any attempt to eject.  I've tried a few different things and no response or the programme I'm using jams up.  Not a huge computer buff so I need things explained really simply - only had my Macbook Pro for a year and still not completely tuned into Apple system - would have know what to do on my old Windows!

You can use a key combination to force removable media to eject at startup. Visit Startup key combinations for Mac - Apple Support and try the options listed in the bottom row.

  • HT5278 ipod not showing ios5 update or any other update.

    cannot download an iOS higher than 4.2, not sure what gen my ipod is.

    Hope this helped if you have any other questions i will be happy to help

  • HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

    I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes.  I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first.  I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive.  I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc.  I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

  • Flex 4 Video player not showing the video in any other machines

    I created a new Flex 4 project, and used Video display component and source was set to a file in src folder. It works fine in my computer. But after moving the content from bin-release  to another machine, video is not showing.
    The flv file is in the bin-release folder.

    At a quick glance, all your files seem to be there, but I
    notice your
    Scripts folder is in the site root folder, and all your other
    files are in
    the special folder. Might be something wonky there.
    If you are on a Linux server, you might double check the
    upper * lower case
    matching between your links and file/folder names.
    Does your host confirm the mime type support for flv ?

  • Backed up iPhone not showing in iTunes

  • ITunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

    I need help iTunes 10.6.3 Mac running 10.7.3 not responding I have deleted iTunes and reinstall iTunes and it keeps happening I also scanned the computer for any trojans and any other possible viruses but the pc is running perfect waft do I do ? Please help me ?

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

  • My wife's new iphone4 (a replacement for a 5 month-old iphone 4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device in the house using that computer and Apple ID is. Any suggestions?

    My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on  the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

  • I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

    I installed Windows 8 and now my ipad does not show in itunes...any thoughts?

    Not trying to start any argument here, but if you would have checked the requirements for using an iPad with iTunes on a computer, you would have seen that Windows 8 is not supported.
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download

  • Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?

    Had the same issue. Tried everything that was posted for troubleshooting bye apple and on the discussions.
    Finally, tried something that solved it and it works flawlessly now. I changed my wireless router.
    I was using my ISP's supplied ZyXEL PN660 ADLS2+ with Wireless N. Swtiched to an older Linksys WRT160N and it is working beautifully now.
    Take a look at your router, make sure the firmware is up to date, and that UPnP is enabled, and if all is correct, and you have done everything else, try another Wireless router if you can.

  • I want to back up my iPad so I can changeover to the ipad2 but my pc doesn't have enough memory to allow me to update. I've deleted everything I can in order to get more memory but cannot is there any other way to do it?

    I think you misunderstand... iCloud backups are stored in the cloud and not on the PC. So, if you do an iCloud backup, it won't take up room on the PC.
    But, if you want to transfer the iTunes purchases over, set up Home Sharing. Also, see this link.

  • I have updated my ipod and it deleted everything including my photos and i did not save my photos on any other device, How do i get them back?

    I have updated my iPod and it deleted everything including my photos and I did not save my photos on any other device, How do I get them back?

    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme. I have the latest IMac with plenty storage and ram

    The apple coloured ball keeps appearing in photo elements 13 but not in any other programme including premier elements and organiser. I have the latest IMac  with ample storage and ram

    I believe I have solved the problem.  I have 16mb ram so I went into photo
    preferences and raised to 75% what is available for photo
    I also reduced the cache from 6 to 2.  The last two sessions the coloured
    ball has not appeared.  Hope this might be usefull  to others

  • I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    I cannot install adobe flash onto my mac, whenever the installation box appears it asks for a password! I have entered my apple ID password and any other password I use, but still no joy! Any advice?

    Exactly where are you getting your Flash from? It is quite free from the maker, no password needed.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    However, if you fell for a trap and were lured into a fake site to rob you of your Apple ID credentials, I suggest you change your passwords immediately.

  • How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?

    How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad?  Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this?  What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad.  HELP!

    The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
    If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
    If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.
