I have two cds stuck in my macbook

I have two CDs stuck in my macbook.  Is there an easy fix?

No not really.  You can look at optical drive removal here: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac but I would bring it to an Apple store or AASP and have a professional look at it.

  • I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone.  My iPhone continues to send messages from either account that I choose.  My MacBook says that one of my email account outgoing mail servers is Offline?  How can I get that working again?

    I have two email accounts on my MacBook Pro and iPhone that I have been using for a few years.  My phone works perfectly for both accounts.  Now one of my email accounts on the MacBook says the outgoing server is Offline?  How can I fix that so that both accounts send and receive email.  I have tried various things in settings but nothing seems to work.

  • I have two messages stuck in my outbox

    There are two messages stuck in my outbox.  Nothing has changed in my server configuration which I checked.  Should I delete them and start again?

    Mail uses a mail Receiver and a mail Sender. They are fairly independent. The settings for one can be fine while the settings for the other are a mess.

  • HELP!  Two CDs stuck in macbook!

    Ok.. I did it, I made the mistake of putting a mini cd in my macbook.. it got stuck. But I tried fishing it out with a normal sized CD and that got stuck TOO!! OMG! How can I get them out? I have tried using paper clips, I have tried the sticky business card... They are just stuck in there. I think I need to open my macbook? Can I just unscrew the screws on the sides?

    If a regular-size CD is in your optical drive and won't eject, you can try restarting the computer while holding down the trackpad button or the mouse button (although if you are going to use the trackpad you might want to unplug the USB mouse so it doesn't get confused).
    As for a mini CD, if it won't shake out you might need to bring it into your local Apple store for repair, since those aren't supposed to be used in Macbooks.

  • I have 2 cds stuck in my mac pro..... :-(

    How can I get them out or should I take it in for repair?

    yeah, I gotta say, that takes creativity
    if using the Terminal command doesn't work or pressing F12 doesn't work, then carefully pull down the optical drive shutter to reveal the face of the optical drive. There you should find a small hole. Straighten a paper clip and insert it into that hole.  The tray should release enough for you to grab it and open it, hopefully, letting you get those 2 cd's back.  BUT- I don't know if you're talking about the Mac Pro desktop or the MacBook Pro portable. big difference.
    If it's the latter, take it down to the Genius Bar after making an appointment.  If it's the former, try what's been suggested. As a last resort, shut the machine down, let it cool ,take off the side panel. touch something metal, and pull the optical drive cage straight out towards you. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the optical drive from the cage, and disconnect the cable at the back. You are now free to remove the top cover of the optical drive, retrieve your cd's, put the cover back on the drive, replace the drive in the cage, plug the cables back into it and slide the cage back in, replace the side panel and start 'er up. Hopefully you have learned something from this experience....

  • I have two emails stuck in my INBOX

    I was recently cleaning out my email and syncing everything to my new iPhone 4s and found out that after deleting and sorting over 1,500 email in my Mail application on my MacBook Pro that i have 2 emails that won't delete, I have tried hitting delete, and they just change from a bold black to a muted gray color and stay in my inbox. I have also tried making them junk mail, etc to get them to disappear; i've even tried dragging them to my trash on my desktop. My thought is that i may have hit archive or something like that on my iPhone as i was syncinng, deleting, etc. and that this somehow has frozen these emails.
    Please 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.

  • I have two movies stuck in downloads. They show up in videos but in downloads they say error try again later. Will I be able to watch them?

    How do I get the movies that I paid for in iTunes to finish downloading?

    Just keep trying - make sure you have a good connection. Also, movie files are very large, so make sure you have enough free space on the device.

  • 2 CDs stuck inside

    I have 2 CDs stuck inside the CD/DVD drive slot. Do I need to open up the back of the machine and take out the burner to try and get these out? When the computer is on the drive tries to automatically eject but nothing will come out.

    Hello,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The optical drive is a sealed unit so removing the back of the iMac won't loosen the discs.
    Surely one of the disks is protuding from the drive? I can't see how two could fit in a slot loading drive (and I'm not tempted to try too hard to find out).
    My feeling is that if you can't pull out either disk, then the only way to do it would be to removed the optical drive from the iMac and try to open the drive enough to free the disk - optical drives are precision bits of kit though and unless you know what you're doing you could very quickly end up with a dead drive.
    It may be worth consulting your local AASP.

  • In my Macbook Pro finder folder under All Images, there are duplicate files, but one is small and the other is full size. I wanted to clean up the files, but don't know why I have two of everything. Any Ideas?

    In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
    thanks, Jean

    Hello fane,
    Re: duplicate images in finder.
    Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
    I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
    It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
    Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot  for what I do.
    I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
    I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
    Thanks for your help,

  • I have two Macs--a flat-screen iMac that uses i-tunes 9 (its max) and a MacBook Intel duo that uses i-tunes 10 (its max). Both are on sharing. I am trying to put the Library from the flat screen i tunes music onto the MacBook. I have carefully followeBook

    I have two Macs, an i-Mac flat screen that runs on OSX.4.11 and i-tunes 9 and a MacBook Intel Duo that runs on Snow Leopard and i-tunes 10.  I have carefully followed all the Advanced instructions for sharing music libraries, which is not a problem; however I am unable to transfer following the instructions to drag the music I want from t he i-Mac flat screen library onto the MacBook. Help! Please! Also, my new Nano will not accept i-tunes 9 which is where I have my old i-pod contents stored--the old i-pod died.  Many thanks!

    UPDATE: I disconnected the iPhone, restarted it, and tried again to sync it with the iTunes library on the iMac. This time it worked
    Now I'm going to try to transfer the music into the iTunes library on the PowerBook, then sync with that, delete the library on the iMac, and sync the (hopefully full of all my music) iPhone with the iMac again.

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.
