I try to insert a disc but it doesn't take it. HELP!

Alright, I was just working off of a disc in my computer yesterday. Today I sit down and eject that disc to put a new one in. That disc ejects just as it always does with no problems. But now when I try to put a new disc in it stops it. Meaning the disc is halfway in and nothing happens. The computer does not automatically take the disc like it should and if I try to push on it it feels like pushing against a wall.
How do I fix this. I am going to enter into panic mode soon if I don't figure this out by the end of the day. I am on deadline
Thank you for all help and advice in advance.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • I try to download apps/update, but it doesn't starts downloading. (No jailbreak)

    try to download apps/update, but it doesn't starts downloading. (I don't have jailbreak)

    Just what happens?
    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing was lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • 2007 Intel Imac, installed a new Hdd. Started up with the install disc but it doesn't find my Hdd when asking for a destination volume to install the Mac OS.  The Hdd is recognized in system profiler. Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
    Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X

  • ITunes says this computer is authorized, but it doesn't take

    Just moved my stuff to a new iMac G5. Of course, I couldn't play my Music Store downloads, so I provided my apple id and password and authorized my computer to play them. iTunes confirmed that my computer was now authorized. However, it still won't let me play the music! When I try to play it, I get the same "not authorized" message again. This happens whether I log out and log in again or restart. I keep repeating the authorization process, but it doesn't take.
    Any suggestions?

    Okay, my problem is solved.
    It turns out I had TWO iTunes accounts:
    [email protected]
    and
    username (without the @mac.com)
    I had thought that I only had one account, the mac.com account.
    After iTunes support told me that I had two accounts, I logged in using the other one and was able to authorize my songs.
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    I just updated to the newest software and all my apps were deleted.  I have tried syncing on itunes but it doesn't work.  Help!

    Try ReSynching to iTunes.  If you set up sync to the cloud, turn that off, resync to your PC.  That should bring them back.  You can then turn on sync to cloud again. 
    You may, however, want to re-think that.  There is a lot of chatter about the cloud being the source of some if not many of the battery issues.  Personally, I decided to rurn the cloud off until the Battery-gate issue is resolved.
    Good Luck.

    Hey, I'm trying to install Adobe Flash on my Macbook Air. At a certain point it asks for my password but it doesn't take it. So I cannot continue installment. I have reset my password already. Still the same problem. How can I continue to install when it keeps asking for a password it doesn't recognize over and over again? How many times do I have to reset it then? Advice please

    You have to provide your computer's administrator password in order to install Flash Player.

  • I bought a new iMac today. I'm using migration assistant to move all my software, but the time just keeps getting longer. It says connect an Ethernet cable for faster data transfer. I did, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

    m1doc,
    Are you migrating from a Mac or a MS Window machine? Either way you probably should be in touch with AppleCare, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. They can usually help on issues like this. If you don't know the phone number please use http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to help find the number in your country.

  • I inserted a flashdrive but it doesn't show up on computer

    I inserted a flashdrive in the usb port of my pc but it doesn't show up on computer.

    When I go to the song page, it shows that it has been purchased.
    When you say "song page," is that the screen in the iTunes Store, where you purchase the song?
    In your iTunes Music library, do you see that song listed?  In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, below LIBRARY, click on Music.  To the right, the list of songs in your iTunes library is shown.  Is that purchased song on that list?
    After confirming the purchased song is in your iTunes library, the next step is to get it to sync to your iPod.  Please post back...

  • How do I move photos from iphoto to imovie trailer?  It says just drag and drop but it doesn't take them.

    Macbook Pro imovie 11 trailer says to "just drag and drop photos" but it doesn't work????

    You cannot put photos in a trailer. They are designed for videos.
    However, there is a way around this.
    Go to the Project Library view. Select your Trailer. Now, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    Now you can add photos.

  • I can't open Firefox no more, I try clicking on the icon but it doesn't even load anymore.

    After some time I realized I can not open Firefox anymore.
    I have always used Firefox as my default browser and I really like their features, it's the best browser for me, but for 2 weeks I haven't had the possibility to open it.
    I have tried many ways, such as try to open new tab, or try to open new windows, or try to open new private session but none worked. It's impossible to load Firefox. I have been searching on different sites to finally resolve my problem but it didn't help me at all.
    I also reinstalled it many times but the same problem.
    Thanks in advance and any help will be welcomed.

    sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. This may not be a problem with the fire fox instead this may be a problem with your computer.
    Plz check your computer for virus mainly "Trojan". download an antivirus and run a full scan and also be updated to latest fire fox version.
