IMac has a disk stuck and wont boot

Hi all,
My iMac has an installation disk stuck in the drive. Having been turned off, it now won't open in safe boot mood or some or the other short key problem solvers I have googled, and the disk won't eject. The opening screen doesn't even get to the spinning grey circle, just the main apple logo appears and the cd drive makes a repetitive noise.
I dont know with where the problem lies, the non-booting computer or the non-ejecting disk. Please help.

Have you tried booting up whilst holding down the mouse button until it ejects?

    My iPhone4 version 5.1.1 is stuck at the reboot(the spinning circle) screen and wont boot up, any suggestions people?

    Try holding both home and off buttons for a few seconds until the apple logo appears on screen. See if that solves the issue. Honestly, there may be a myriad of reasons why your phone may be stuck at boot stage. Care to share what you did before it occured? That would help us give you better troubleshooting.

    Reboot the phone:  hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "slide to shut down".  When the screen has been completely black for a few minutes, press the power button again.

  • Windows defender is stuck and wont start- H50-50

    windows defender w.app is stuck and wont start, definitions are out of date but
    update failed several times, I've tried to reactivate Windows Defender. to no avail:
    " Windows Defender is Microsoft’s homegrown antivirus solution, which is enabled by default in Windows 8. (Unless your PC vendor disabled it to activate a bundled AV solution by Norton, McAfee and their ilk, that is—as Lenovo often does." I looked on MS downloads and there isnt any defender
    there isnt any also on my pc programs
    I have java 32bits version 8 update 45- lenovo H50-50
    thanks

    Try Windows Defender support for help with that issue: <br />

  • My 27" 2010 iMac  has recently began freezing and movement on the display is molasses slow. We have 500 gigabytes available and no applications running and the problems still persist. Any advice?

    My 27" 2010 iMac  has recently began freezing and movement on the display is molasses slow. We have 500 gigabytes available and no applications running and the problems still persist. Any advice?

    IF your system is running extremely slow with no applications running other than Finder then I'd suspect a failing HD or you have a runaway process somewhere. Open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and look to see if you have any applications taking a large %CPU, if you do that is your problem. To test the HD run Apple Hardware Test, please read:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    to learn how to run AHT on your machine, also run it in EXTENDED MODE so it does the most complete test. If no errors are found after the first pass run it another 2-3 times to be thorough.

    Before deciding that you can't replace the drive yourself, visit the following site and find the step by step instructions for replacing the drive yourself:
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    If you see the instructions and feel that you can replace the drive yourself, you will save money that way. I'm not that familiar with modern iMacs, but I know it was very easy to replace the drive in my old iMac. It may not be as hard to do as you think. If you want extra help, you can post questions on the iMac forum.
    If you still don't feel like it is something you can do yourself, try looking for an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your area and see what it might cost to have the AASP do the replacement. Often an AASP can do a repair for less money than Apple, and they will usually be willing to install a drive that you have obtained elsewhere for a reasonable price. From what I have read on these forums, many people have used AASP's to install bigger and faster drives on their machines.
    Definitely contact Western Digital about your drive. Usually WD drives come with a 3 year warranty, and if the drive fails before then, WD will replace the drive. KT has mentioned that the drive apparently is not under warranty, but might qualify for some sort of an upgrade. Before shopping elsewhere, check to see if this upgrade might entitle you to a very good deal on a replacement drive or something of that nature.
    Good luck!
