Is it possible to retrieve a CD which is physically stuck in an iMac without dismantling the iMac?

Hello there,
The only way i can think is to press the button to eject, then normally what i do is push a thin card just over the top of the disc, and try get it out by pushing slightly down on the card to pull the disc out, otherwise you can try to hang the imac upside down where the disc will fall out, and give it a few shakes downwards to where the disc might slide out etc.
Here is other sources to fixes of stuck discs below.

A persons reply to his fix with imac "Wuce Brillis • 2 years ago A while ago i got a physically stuck disc in my iMac, after all the above methods it was still stuck. Eventually, after a lot of searching on the web, I got it out fairly easy with a business card which I slid in the tray. Maybe this will help someone"
the last thing you can do is end up opening up the imac and void warrenty, if you have apple care, use that and ask at a local apple store to see if they can get the disc out etc.

Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
Thank you in advance.
Brian.

Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

Is it possible in firefox to close a browser window/tab using java script without modifying the configuration settings? If YES, please let me know.

Requirement: On click of button, I want the browser window to be closed.
Solution: I am calling below java script on "onClick()" event of button.
function close_window()
window.close()
This works in internet explorer but not in Mozilla Firefox. What is the reason behind it. Is there any way out to close the browser window in Mozilla Firefox?

Can you post a link to a page that opens a pop-up window where a close button doesn't work?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

[SOLVED] is it possible to retrieve the data available in my sync account as i have forgotten some password which my browser is still remembering?

as i sign up with new websites with new user name and passwords, firefox offers me whether to remember the passwords or not.
i have selected 'remember password' for so many sites and got my data synchronized with firefox sync. i am having an account and a sync key.
but the problem is that i have forgotten some of the passwords which are still remembered in fire fox.
though i am not facing any problem opening those sites as my browser automatically completes the password for me, i am unable to change the password with a new one as i have forgotten the old!
so is it possible to retrieve the passwords remembered in my browser as well as in my sync account?
plz do help.
--regards

i have sorted this out!
must have tried it myself before posting a question!!
simply go to TOOLS>OPTIONS>SECURITY>SAVED PASSWORDS
and the select 'show passwords'.

Is it possible to retrieve the broken motherboard and get a replacement.

Hello everyone, I'm desperate for help now. I just had a look with this forum today and realised many people have been suffering the same sudden death issue of Z3C.I know the original post was too long so I edited it
I experienced the same issue in last December, at first it was the motherboard issue so they got it replaced but when they tried to set it up the screen was broken, so I have no idea how long I have to wait. I just want to say It had been a joy and wonderful experience to use the phone so there were actually a lot of important information and memorable things kept in the phone which I would die for, I even tried to request that would it be possible to have the damaged motherboard back or could they at least try to restore the datas back to the phone. If anyone has done similar thing before and managed to complain through email please let me know the email I will be very appreciate!
Original:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
I bought this phone in the end of last September and this is speaking from a proud loyal user of Sony products and I have owned wide range of products like Bravia television, home theater system, and Playstations, they have been a great pleasure to me. Before the release of Z3 Compact, I was desperately looking for a small sized phone with capability of good performance until I saw the advertising of Z3 Compact, so I had finally found a phone that best suited my every needs. I'd been enjoying every single feature of the phone but it was only 2 months since I bought it then the phone died suddenly when I woke up the next morning and I had an important meeting that day. Due to the problem of course I could not make it in the end. I had done everything I could but the phone could not be turned on at all, so there was entirely no way for me to back up everything before I sent it to repair. I could say it was very unfortunate for me because I have many friends who are still using high-end Xperia phones like Z2 and they are still running fine even until this day.
Finally I got a call few weeks ago so I thought I could finally get it after such a long wait. Instead I was told that it was the mainboard issue so a new one got replaced, but when they tried to set up the phone they noticed the screen was broken, so they had to deliver it again to the headquarter of repair centre in Kuala Lumpur. I have been waiting for nearly two months. Most importantly is that I have to study overseas next month so what should I do if the same problem happens again? Therefore I asked for a replacement and they said they would try for it and wait for approval from their manager but chances are very low.
For quite sometime I have been looking for the email of customer support but so far I could only manage to get the contact number, seriously Sony? Maybe it was my mistake but I just couldn't find the email contact except for regions like US and Europe since those regions are far more popular compared to where I am, a country that probably no one has ever heard of-Malaysia. I know it's no luck to seek for support from Sony Malaysia, so I was actually trying to look for international office for Asia region, but so far I could only find Australia and Hong Kong, therefore I gave it a try but it appeared to be an error link that led to nowhere.
Since I couldn't find the email at all I was given no choice but to call the customer support. I was really frustrated and unsatisfied with the solution they offered during the first call, saying that if the phone breaks again I can only bring it back from overseas to the repair centre in my home country just to get it fixed whenever I have the chance to go back.

Although I know I can't do anything with it but who knows maybe someday there is someone expert enough in IT can lend me a hand in such case. I know it's their policy to not return the damaged parts to customers but it's only my very little request even if they can't get me a replacement.
Since Sony is such a giant corporation, hasn't there been any solution they can offer since most users of Z3C are experiencing the same issue? Instead of raging my disappointments through internet which could spread false information and negatively affect the reputation, I hope this is the best way to solve my problems and let everyone knows.
I'm sorry if the post is too long but this is the best way to express my feeling. If anyone has similar experience or knows the email, please let me know and any help provided will be much appreciated.

Sorry to hear that, but this forum is for us, users, and what you need is someone from Xperia Care to find your motherboard and send it back, I don't think it'll be possible to retrieve any data from a broken motherboard.

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

Would it still be possible to retrieve encrypted files from a Mac OS X 10.8.5 after clean install and performing command p and r?

I'm just wondering, if it would still be possible to retrieve encrypted files (such as home folders using legacy filevault) from Mac OS X 10.8.5 after clean install of new OS and performing command-p and -r during bootup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something to know. All of these tools have two things in common:
1) You must have another drive to save the recovered data to. You cannot save it back to the same partition you are recovering from since doing so could overwrite data you are trying to save.
2) They take forever to complete. In Windows, a deleted file or folder simply has a flag changed on its entry in the file table so the OS knows the space it used to occupy is free to use for other data. To unerase, the software simply changes the flag back to "live". That's why they work so easily and fast in Windows. How long an item has been marked as erased determines whether or not the space it sat on has since been used by new data.
On a Unix system (which OS X sits on top of), deleted data has its file table entry removed. The only way then to find deleted data is to scour the entire drive for BOF (beginning of file) markers and reading the data of each one it finds to its EOF (end of file) marker.
So be prepared to wait for hours for a search to complete. It could take more than a day for a terabyte or larger drive. It also doesn't help that recovered data rarely has any of the original names.
Edit: Also, did you do a simple erase of the drive, or a zero write erase? If the latter, your chances of recovering anything is virtually nil.

Is it possible to retrieve data from an Oracle db with an LDAP query?

Our application uses an LDAP query to retrieve data from Microsoft Active Directory. Is it also possible to retrieve data from an Oracle database with an LDAP query?

if you have Oracle Internet Directory, you will retrieve with ldapsearch data, which are physically stored in the database. But to select * from emp where ename='SCOTT', it is probably not possible.
At least I have never heard of such a product which translate ldap query in sql query. But feel free to write your own one in perl :-)

Is it possible to retrieve photo book after I accidentally changed theme?

I created a photo book with all the pictures and description. I ordered it. Then I wanted to order another one but in a different size. So I supposed that it was all going be saved and clicked on the change theme button where I can choose from the different sizes. Unfortunately I lost all the type editing. Now I don't remember which types and colours I used on the individual pages.Anyone knows if its possible to retrieve the book from my apple account? I need the same book what I already ordered just in a different size..Cheers.

I need the same book what I already ordered just in a different size..Cheers.
If you need to book in a different size you need to reformat it. The book, that was sent to apple was a PDF, and that cannot be used by Apple to create the smaller sized book.
So I supposed that it was all going be saved and clicked on the change theme button where I can choose from the different sizes. Unfortunately I lost all the type editing.
If your Time Machine backup goes back far enough in time, you could try to restore the iPhoto library from before you changed the book theme and then try to find out what the colours and fonts have been.

HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

Is it possible to retrieve apple id by imei?

So my brother has an unlocked iPhone 5 in Albania which was working fine with the local carrier.
Now here is the problem: His phone got locked and he can't retrieve the apple id to turn on the phone.
We contact the seller of the phone but there is no guarantee he will get back to us.
Is it possible to look it up somehow just by IMEI or is that out of the question?
Thanks

No. You must get the original owner to remove the device from his or her account. That is the only way to use the device; otherwise, it is useless. Read:

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac and Time Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however have them all currently on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported. If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.
