Inserted CD is not shown in Finder, neither possible to load nor to get it out... Any idea?

Inserted CD is not shown in Finder, neither possible to load nor to get it out again...
Restart with pressed left Mouse button or Reset didn't help...
Any idea? Thx

Have you tried using Disk Utility? Utilities Folder>Disk Utility, hopefully the CD will be listed on the left. Select it and then click on the 'eject' butoon.
Edit: If that didn't work, here's a few more suggestions: http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD

  • Album art not shown in finder

    Embedded album art in audio files is not shown in finder since I upgraded to ML (worked fine in SL).
    Other peaple report a solution of the problem with elimination of Voice Memos. But in my case this is not evident because I do not have Voice Memos.
    Does somebody know the solution of the problem?

    After hours struggling with this issue I finally found a solution (my setup is iTunes 10.7, OSX 10.8.3):
    (But my workaround is only for people who know how to handle iTunes libraries!!! And backup first!!)
    Open a new user account on your mac.
    Generate a new iTunes library called 'itunes', no other name!
    Import some files with embedded album art.
    Drag such a file back to desktop and you should see the icon of album art.
    Everything is like it should be.
    Now copy this new itunes library to your user account of origin.
    But first rename your old iTunes library different from 'itunes' e.g. 'itunesorigin'
    Open the new iTunes and drag one file to desktop, now miraculosly all audiofiles in all of your itunes libraries should show up album art IN FINDER including preview and quicklook.
    But this state is not stable. As soon as you open the old 'itunesorigin' the problem starts up again.
    So, the next steps are:
    Open the new iTunes and in preferences select the media folder of 'itunesorigin'. OK, say no to 'collate data'. Close iTunes.
    Now copy and replace from 'itunesorigin' to the new iTunes the following files:
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Library.xml
    Open the new iTunes and it should look like the old 'iTunesorigin' with all your playlists etc..
    Close again.
    Move the media folder from 'iTunesorigin to the new iTunes folder (replace).
    Open new iTunes and select in preferences the new location of the media folder.
    Now you should have the file iTunes Music Library.xml instead of iTunes Library.xml.
    (iTunes Music Library.xml is the default if you have multiple libraries)
    Done! For me its stable and I am happy. Your iTunes folder should look like this picture:

  • When installing itunes 10 uding windows xp I get the following error: "There is a problem with this Windows Installerpackage. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your sipport personnel or package vendor." - any ideas?

    When downloading itunes 10 in windows xp, I get the following error "There is a problem with this Windoes Installer package. Aprogram run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." - any ideas on how to proceed?

    using MSICUU2.exe didn't help me.  But,  the new replacement app did:
      http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    I fixed my problem like this:
    Here's the deal - 
    1.  can you install itunes via the APPLE SOFTWARE updater?
    I couldn't  so I downloaded ITUNES and tried to install it that way.   Hence  I got the same error hang as you.  Nothing worked,  (Multiple attempts at uninstall reinstall,  stopping of Services,  Reg cleaners  etc..)
    2.  If answer is NO to #1 you must fixe the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE Program. 
    OK  so I couldn't find a Download for this.   But:  if you have WINRAR,  open the ITUNES.EXE and extract the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI file.  Execute the APPLESOFTWAREUPDATE.MSI separately.   And you will not be able to install it and have a similar issue as per your Itunes install.   This of course leads you to believe that the Itunes.exe  install is also installing all of these components including the applesoftwareupdate silently.   It must BOMB at that portion of the install and you are done. 
    3.  Your goal now is to get the applesoftwareupdate installed.   How do you do this.  Well -  here is what I did.
      a.  downloaded and RUN a PC  Installer FIX it tool from Microsoft.  This is a replacement for the older MSI fixer they used to use.
      http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
    b. It will list programs to attempt to fix.
      choose  AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    c. Once it is done,  then reinstall apple program updater using
    AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    Finally it should install since the Microsoft tool appraently fixed corrupted installation files in your registry for this application.
    (Please note:  that I also disabled any apple related services such as BONJOUR or IPOD DEvice RUN:  services.msc to get there -  although this man not be necesarry.)
    Hence Launch this APPLE UPDATE SOFTWARE (Click the ICON in your Start menu)  it should list ITUNES
    select ITUNES from here and it will update.
    KEY HERE is to ONLY UPDATE APPLE Stuff via the APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE program.  If that program is not working fix it.  Then Bingo.
    I am sorry to see folks having this problem for weeks.  
    APPLE,   Spread the word.  PC's can get corruption in the registry on your product should the update be stopped or computer shut off during an update.  etc...   Please improve your software updater program to check for invalid registry upon launching the app.  This will prevent people thinking it is an APPLE issue.  It appears to be a problem on your PC's registry settings for the APPLE Software update.

    Just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 including Photos 1.0 which is not syncing with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Editor (already installed)....any ideas?

    ....partially resolved, in case anyone else with sim prob.....
    ....with Photoshop open you click "Open" (top left) and 'Finder' opens up in the window with 'Photos' listed.
    Select which pic you want to edit (duplicates must be created first in 'Photos") and it opens in Photoshop Editor
    It's all a bit messy but seems to work.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list. Post the messages from the last installation attempt, starting from the time when you launched the Installer or Software Update. Post the log text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

    Assuming you have windows, try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.
