Iogear and tiger, can not open the cd tray

I have the iogear miniview that was working great with my old g4 and xp box, but now I have a g5...great of course, and it does work well, I can see my USB drives, etc.
BUT..... when I try to open the cd tray with the keyboard arrow, it doesn't work. I have to plug my apple keyboard directly into the computer to get it to open the tray.
Not the worse problem I've encountered, but I would hope there is a work aorund, anyone know?
thanks!
G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

Try "Terminal" found in Utilities. Type in at the prompt <man drutil> (without the chevrons). This will list a set of usefull commands for intracting with cd/dvd drives. The one to try for opening the tray ( or ejecting a disk from a slot drive which of course has no tray) is <drutil tray open>.
I use laptops and found this (drutil tray eject) to get a disk out of the unfamiliar G5 of a friend before we found the
"eject" key on the keyboard.
Have also found <drutil getconfig> helpful to get information on a problematical dvd writer.
I personally keep "Terminal" to my admin accounts because of its danger potentials.

    السلام عليكمI have a problem in activate Alaaclaud account and I can not open the device

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Why is firefox sliding to the right and I can not open the window?

    I have a status bar at the bottom...no problem. The problem is that when I open Firefox I see the icon for several windows opened over lapping and I can not get one of them to maximize for me. They, very quickly, slide to the right and off the screen. I ramdomly slide my mouse, somewhere off the screen and can drag a very vague window back, but it will not stay and slides to the right again. This does not happen with IE.

    If still problem try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

    I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
    Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
    You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
    (Canon Server)
    I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

    The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

  • I need to change the input level and I can not open the track info pane in the new garageband. Can you help me?

    I have tried the help menu. It only shows how to open the track info pane in the old garageband. It shows the info button, which is not in garageband anymore. I need to open the track info pane to change the input level. If there is another way to do this please tell me.

    Open the "Smart Controls" for your track, and then press the Info button .
    The "record level" slider is at the top of the Info panel below the track heads.

  • Create a document on iMac and send it by e-mail to a Windows P.C. user and they can not open the document. What to do?

    Documents from a iMac sent to a Windows PC, how can it be read on the PC?

    Save or export it into a format the PC is capable of reading natively; those depend on the software installed on the PC, and generally include plain text, RTF, and Word, but not the native formats of any of the iWork applications.

  • I can not open the history even of today and see

    5/8/10
    Dear ladies and gentlemen,
    • I thank you all each and every person, ladies and gentleman who are connected with Mozilla Firefox in any manner and who have contributed for its development and any other who is in any way even concerned and every well wisher of Mozilla. My good wishes for all of them and for their work that it has become so popular and every one of them has laboured selflessly and without any money angle for that and that is the best thing. Such selfless work must be appreciated by each and all.
    • My earlier suggestion for accepting cheques from those who like me do not have any cr. card has still not been accepted.
    • You please incorporate features from other good programmes as these are still not there in FireFox and I am using only this since when I first installed it and I do not intend to use any other but these features as I remember were available few years back are still not there in Mozilla so today there should be many more features which can be incorporated in Firefox.
    • When the connection is on but not opened i.e. the connection has been switched on but not opened i.e. the modem lights are on and not off then if I go back to a page opened then the Firefox shows loading problem but if I switch off the modem then I can access that very same page. This should be taken care of so that even if I switch on the modem but the connection is not on even then I should be able to see the page 1 or 2 or many pages backwards.
    • Then I can not open the history even of today and see that page whereas earlier I could click any history page and it showed even if it was 5 days old (which is my setting) and I have not changed any setting.
    • I also thank the all add-on creators because I have installed very few but even then these are very useful.
    • I would also suggest that you incorporate these add-ons in the FireFox itself for example I suggested many moons back that let there be a system of any number of tabs being opened (and a few more suggestions) and it is available as add –on in tab mix plus which I have now installed.
    • I also request to everyone concerned to give his ideas as to what other features can be incorporated in Firefox and these suggestions be on your website and after a certain number of well wishers and users select the idea you please either develop it yourselves or any well wisher can do it and then it can be incorporated in the Firefox.
    • I also give you my suggestion which is not available presently to my knowledge in the browser or add-ons this is that if I move a window in tab mix plus then it is always in a window for each tab but instead of that my suggestion is that I should be able to move any no. of tabs or any other tab to one particular window only and that too in any manner I like in any sequence like at a particular No. of tab say 15th etc.
    • I also feel presently having some problem that when I shut down the computer after save and quit pages that are there are not reopened. Loading problem in those pages appears I do not know the reason but Firefox should be able to show all the last page/pages/window/windows I was perusing after I saved and quit.
    Thanking you,
    Best wishes for all of you.
    Yours sincerely,
    DS

    Hi,
    Please provide more details about your computer along with the graphics card. Also, A log file might help identify the cause of the crash. Please right-click 'My Computer', select "Manage," look under 'Event Viewer->Windows Logs->Application' to see if there's an event there from Premiere Pro. If so, copy the contents of that log and paste them here.

  • I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

    I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

    The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
    The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
    So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

    Also, does reinstallation takes the back up automatically or the files will be lost. Please help.
