DVD ejects across the room!

My imac 20inch g5 ejects DVDs and CDs across the room. It seems ok if you only use 1 but when its warm it sends them flying out. Is there an adjustment or something to stop this?

Steve, Welcome to the discussion area!
This area is for discussing iMac G4s.
Since you have an iMac G5, you will probably want to visit the iMac > iMac G5 > Using DVDs and CDs with your iMac G5 discussion area.

My iMac's DVD drive launches discs across the room when I eject them.

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem, and also, if anyone might have a solution for it.
As of recently, [I don't know the exact date that the problem began, but it's been awhile], whenever I eject a DVD from my iMac's DVD drive [by either ejecting it in Finder, or by pressing the keyboard's Eject button], instead of just coming out halfway like it used to, the drive now launches the DVD across the room.
I'm starting to get annoyed by this problem, especially when I burn something and am not around to catch the disc when it comes flying out, and later find it lying on the floor in the corner of my room.
So does anybody know if there is anything that I can do about this?.
I did that online-chat thing on Apple's website, and the guy told me that I have to bring it in to a service centre, and then disconnected.
I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
Also, I don't even know of any [or if there even ARE any] that are in Montreal, Quebec, [which is where I live].
Oh, and I bought an AppleCare Protection Plan with the iMac when I bought it last January [2005].
Soooo... Does that do anything for me?.
Thanks so much!.
-Steven.

20" 1.8gHz iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) The DVD drive is a Matshita UJ-825 DVD-R drive.

Hi Steven,
I had the same thing happening with mine. When I was on with Apple Care, they asked me if I would be willing to send them my computer in exchange for a new one (refurbished). It turned out they new about the problem & are trying to figure it out with computers that are actually experiencing the issue. This was just a couple of weeks ago, so you might call & check about it. They cover all shipping costs.
Good luck

My computer has been spontaneously restarting itself. This last time I wasn't even at the keyboard, I was across the room. I don't know what to make of it, completely baffled.

Hi ...
Try Troubleshooting the MagSafe adapter
If the Mac freezes, it may be a preference setting.
Check System Preferences > Energy Saver
See if Restart automatically if the computer freezes is selected. If it is, deselect that box.

Any ideas for when the ipod touch will come out? Thanks!:)

Details of coordinators for all the rooms??

Hi All,
I am new to collaboration..I have been trying to get the details (like name) about the coordinators of all the rooms..Then I have to display the coordinator name for all the rooms in the collaboration room directory..
I can see the coordinators allotted from room-admin page. Is there anyway to get the req. details for all the rooms and show it then...Plz help me...
Regards,
Udit

Hi Udit,
You can retrieve all rooms by http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/km/com/sap/ip/collaboration/room/api/IRooms.html#getRoomsWithPrivacy(RoomPrivacyType) (with the different privacy types), and then for each room call getRoomInfo() (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/km/com/sap/ip/collaboration/room/api/IRoom.html#getRoomInfo()), from this call getOwnerId() (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/km/com/sap/ip/collaboration/room/api/IRoomInfoReader.html#getOwnerId()).
Then you can get the owner via http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/se/com/sap/security/api/IUserFactory.html#getUser(java.lang.String) and from this, you can ask any details you want.
Hope it helps

Ideas for Adding a Quick Print Button to VA01 Overview Screen

Problem Statement:
Our users would like a "quick print" button on the VA01/VA02 application toolbar that immediately spools the Order Confirmation output to the printer. Our users want to print the output on demand, i.e., they do not want the output to automatically be printed when the order is created because a printout is not always needed. We already have condition records created with Dispatch Time set to 3 - Send with application own transaction. However, it takes 7 or more clicks to print the output on demand by navigating the menu (Extras > Output > Edit...Further Data...etc.) and changing the Dispatch Time to 4 - Send immediately when saving. This is a big ergonomic issue and a time killer.
Although the number of clicks to print are less when printing the output from the VA02 initial screen (via menu Sales document > Issue Output To), this is not acceptable when creating new orders. Really need an on-demand, quick print button on the VA01 screen. As an aside, we have a totally custom transaction for preparing sales order data (shopping cart-like way of finding materials and entering required data) that then calls VA01 and fills in all of the information. When saving in VA01, the user is returned to our Z-transaction so asking the user to subsequently run VA02 to print is not practical.
Current Output Determination:
We have custom output type ZBS0 (copy of BS0). Condition records for print medium are set to Dispatch Time = 3.
Questions:
1. Searching these forums, it appears custom code (extension or user exit?) can be written to call RSNAST00, or something similar, to automatically send output having a Dispatch Time = 3. Where can I find more information on exactly how to do this?
2. Do transactions VA01 and VA02 (Overview screens) have extensions that allow a print button to be added to the application toolbar? We would want to call the custom printing code from the button to send the output.
Any feedback on how others have solved this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Rob
P.S. Using GuiXT is not an option for us.

HI
We had similar issues with printing packing list and picking list by the warehouse people.
We created a new ztransaction with input fields of delivery number, output type, number of copies and a check box for repeat output(in case if the output was already printed).
You can also create a new Z-transaction with input fields of Sales order number(mandatory field), output type (Default it with value of ZBS0), number of copies (default it with 1) and a check box. On executing the transaction You can provide a message if the output was already printed so that the user can select the check box to repeat the output and execute. You can also print multiple SO by giving a range value if required.
If you do not want the user to enter the new ztransaction every time, try providing a menu path to the new z-transaction from the existing z-transaction which you are using for order entry.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Arun.S

What usb auto switch is compatible with OSX and Windows for sharing the same printer

I just bought a new iMac for myself to replace my old Dell PC. My husband still has his PC with Windows Vista and our work stations are set up to share the same MFC with a Belkin auto switch. Unfortunately that software is not compatible with my OSX and I am having trouble searching for another auto switch that is compatible with both computer operating systems. Can anyone recommend one to me?

Hmmm, we bought a brand new V300 from Epson and hooked it up it didn't work. We went through all the steps, downloaded all the drivers, and after several days of frustration, it still did not work so we returned it.
Apple hasn't been able to give us technical advice, Epson couldn't help. The only scanners sold locally are the printer/scanner combos.
I was looking at the Fujitso ScanSnap 1500M earlier tonight... am wondering if I can get by with this scanner since most of my scanning nowadays has to do with business documents. It sure would be nice to organize clutter and the text said something about compatible with the "cloud" as well.
I use my iPad all the time to show galleries & collectors the quality of my paintings... type up proposals, etc. Thanks for letting me know about it's compatibility with my iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Thank you for your input, AppleMan1958. you are wonderful.

I have a Dell Inspiron 5520 laptop with a webcam. I have unistalled and reinstalled the drivers for the webcam, I have tried and failed to use an old version of Skype (I guess Skype is blocking old versions). I am using Skype for Desktop on Windows 8.1, not the modern Skype. Still no webcam. Does anyone have any other ideas on what to try? I am pulling my hair out.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

Interested in your ideas for improving the JKI State Machine

[cross-posted to LAVA]
Hi LabVIEW'ers,
Over at JKI, we've soft-launched a new idea exchange for the JKI State Machine:
http://ideas.jki.net...-state-machine/
I've seeded this with a couple ideas we've heard mentioned before. If you're interested in providing your feedback on ways to make the JKI State Machine Better, we'd love to hear it!
In addition to feature ideas, we're also interested in knowing what types of design patterns and application examples you'd like to see.
Regards,
-Jim

Hi Wiebe,
You're right that you don't get edit-time type checking with a string-based state machine (as opposed to an enum-based state machine) -- the up-side is that you get a much faster/flexible way to work on the state machine (such as having the ability to comment out state strings by prefixing with a "//" or "#", as our state string parser allows). Also, we do have a special "Default" frame to catch states that are miss-spelled or not in defined in the Case Structure -- this will present a dialog and raise and error, by default. And, it's possible that we could create some tools to do edit-time checking of the state strings against the Case Structure frames.
Regarding state flow, there is the possibility of creating tooling that helps visualize state flow. In a post on LAVA, Mikael Holmström posted an example of using the Endevo GOOP Development Suite to reverse engineer a state machine.
This doesn't completely work, but it shows an interesting possibility.
Thanks for offering to refer people to the JKI State Machine.
Cheers,
-Jim

Any ideas for connecting the ipad2 to a bigger monitor to read music?

Would something like this work?
AOC e1649Fwu Black 16"
Would I be able to use the normal ipad usb connector?

There are two adapters available for screen mirroring the iPad. You display would need to be compatible with either of these two possible video outputs.

Spent Brass Flying Across The Room

I just got some spent brass from Detonation Films. I need to simulate shells flying out of an M-16, I tried the replicator. That doesn't seem to help. I want it to repeat the action one round after another flying out of the gun. Any suggestions? How do I get it to repeat?
Thanks!

In After Effects there is a filter from Cycore called Particle World. The system includes options for the behavior of the world's floor surface. You can set it to bounce the particles.
I do not know if there is a similar function in Motion's behaviors for particles and I woiuldn't know how to use it if there was.

About ready to chuck this pancake across the room!

My powerbook locked up one day so I had to hard re-boot it. Since then, the colors on the display are really off. In all applications, everything is darker. For example, in iPhoto, the pictures look like the brightness has been turned to very dark. The same is true in iMovieHD...video that was once crisp, clear and sharp is now dark and dingy. I've tried just about everything. Has anyone had this problem before and know how to fix?
Thanks.

You can adjust the contrast some with Apple Option Control + , and .
Also check your brightness and your colorsync profile and recalibarate if necessary. System Prefs > Display will do that for ya.
Goodluck.

IPod hard drive audible from across the room

I just received my first iPod, a 30GB Gen5, this evening and installed the proper software, connected up, and waited for a while. The flashing "Circle Slash" DO NOT DISCONNECT appeared and stayed like that for about an hour. I thought it was charging and/or syncing my iTunes library. When I returned after an hour, I waited a bit longer, and noticed that the battery icon indicated a full charge, but the DO NOT DISCONNECT message was still there with the flashing icon. Finally I unplugged the iPod, and heard grinding, clicks, and every now and then an abrupt "thunk". If I held the iPod in the palm of my hand, the "thunk" felt about like it sounded.
After a bit of this grinding routine, the menus came up and I could navigate around OK, but none of my iTunes library was there, and in fact the iPod was never detected by iTunes. Upon further disconnects/reconnects, every now and then my G5 DP 1.8's Finder would indicate I had connected a volume not readable by OSX. Grind...grind...grind...THUNK!
I tried to restore the iPod using the iPod updater, and the updater is currently in a frozen state until I force quit it.
I think that on the basis of the noises it's making, can I safely assume that this iPod has an unhealthy hard drive and should be returned? I've asked a Mac friend of mine (my boss actually) if any of his numerous iPods ever make noises like that, and he indicated no.
Any suggestions are appreciated...thanks.

This is not normal. It is better to have it checked. Take it to the Apple Store.
Best.
