Is there a manual eject button for the combo drive on the mini?

My angel of a 3 year old has managed to force two dvds into the combo drive, bless her, and so none of the software solutions to ejecting discs is much use to me, I'm afraid.
There's a soft, black button to the right of the disc slot, but I don't want to force anything until it's confirmed that it is indeed some kind of manual eject.
Otherwise, I guess it's back to base ...
Many thanks for any help.
Ian

Hi Boece and IanB1967-
There is no manual eject mechanism, however one may be able to manually remove a disk from the drive albeit with varied results.
If two are stuck this may cause mechanical as well as electronic malfunctions within the drive itself. While an external is an excellent idea I think it is important to undo whatever damage has been done.
If you are daring enough you can open up the mini and replace the optical drive yourself. If under warranty or AppleCare just let them do it, even if they try to hit you for a charge. A firm yet polite stand may get you somewhere, as it is very difficult to actually jam 2 disks into a slot-loading drive.

Choose Restart from the Apple menu. Or, just press the power button and choose Restart.

Using latest version of iOS7 on a iPhone 4s, there is NO "accept" button for the 54 pages of Terms

Using the latest version of iOS7 on an iPhone 4S there is no "accept" button for the Terms & Conditions. Therefore I now have 23 apps that will not update.
I tried to fix this by updating on my laptop. No go. The sync crashes EVERY TIME at "Step 6 of 7".
I've searched the forums, and tried all suggestions, to no avail.
HELP.
Going to the Genuis Bar in Manhattan is like lambs to a slaughter.

Hey AVR127,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues accepting the Terms & Conditions. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart your iPhone:

I tried to restore my iMac with my MacBook pro CDs but it's seem it got restored but it say this cd is not supported on this iMac, What could I do to take out the disk?

Also, if you have Lion on the computer. You have a recovery partition on the drive. On startup hold down 'Control' to bring up your startup menu. Select "Recovery HD". That's how you get to it. Lion's recovery partition acts as the installation discs that came with all previous versions of OS X.

When in iTunes on the top R it should say your name and ipod and then there is a triangle pointing up with one or two lines underneath. Just click on that and then it's ok to disconnect.

Is there a way to create a button for the tool bar that will View a page in "No Style'?

I guess what I'm asking is...Is there a way to make a customized button for the toolbar that will allow me to change the view on a webpage to 'No Style' as listed under the view menu. If so, How can I do this?

I have tried to remove sweetpacks per your intructions but there is no "remove" button on the extensions page for sweetpacks.

I tried the suggestions posted and nothing works. I have tried going to the mozilla extensions page but there is no "remove" button for sweetpacks.
I have also tried "about:config" but when I make the change to have a different homepage (google), the change is not saved, it goes back to sweetpacks.
Again, nothing seems to work even though i removed all the sweetpacks stuff via control panel/remove programs - sweetpacks keeps coming up as my homepage.

Hi FrankWonka,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. I'm sorry to see that Sweetpacks has overriden Firefox. Let's see how I can help.
First, from what I am aware of, Sweetpacks is a hijacker so it won't be in your Add-ons or about:config. You need to go to your Control Panel (''Start>Control Panel>Programs and Features>Uninstall a program)''. There you should find these programs to uninstall: '''SweetIM for Messenger, SweetPacks Toolbar for Firefox, Update Manager for SweetPacks''. ''NOTE: these instructions are based of IE''
If this doesn't work, then you should reset Firefox to factory settings. (''NOTE: your bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, cookies and web form auto-fill information will be saved'') To do this, Click the orange Firefox button at the top left corner of the window, hover over ''Help'' and click ''Troubleshooting Information.'' Click the ''Reset Firefox'' button in the upper right corner of the Troubleshooting Information page.
If none of this works, please do not hesitate to respond.
P.S. I see you are running Fx24. I recommend upgrading to Fx25 to get the latest bug fixes and security updates. You can upgrade [http://www.firefox.com by clicking here].
Regards,
Moses

There's no agree button on the new iTunes terms and conditions, so I can't buy any apps for my iPhone5, with iOS7. Any suggestions? Three E-mail exchanges with Apple didn't help,can you?

Is there a manual eject?

my cd drive tray still has problems, i've tried everything suggested but it just wont open if it doesnt have a cd in it. Is there a manual eject for the imac G4?

Bella&Me,The Open Firmware option works in almost all cases. Follow these instructions:
Switch on/reboot
After the startup chime, press and hold <command/apple> <alt/option> <o> <f>
At the command line prompt, type: eject cd
Hit Return, the optical drive will then eject.
Type: mac-boot
Hit return.
- I had a fried logic board and wanted to clear the Optical Drive before I took the iMac in to a local AASP for repair - hence my extreme 'crack the case' solution - I wouldn't recommend it in your case.
It's something I've wondered about wireless keyboards - how good they are when you need to get yourself out of a sticky mac situation - do they let you down?

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Error while importing tabledata: There are no readers registered for the

I try to import data from another table. I exported in different types - sql and xml, cvs... Now if Itry to import this data SQLDeveloper is boring me with the Message:
"There are no registered readers for the sql type."
or
"There are no registered readers for the xml type."
or
"There are no registered readers for the cvs type."
So where do I have to register wich readers?
Another Problem: I tried to start the import "semi-" manually while copiieng the INSERT-Statements from the sql-Dataset to SQLDeveloper. So I noticed that the exported Date has Commas instead of points - like here:
.'650.507.9833'.to_date('21.06.99','DD.MM.RR').'SH_CLERK'.2600.null.124.50);
Is it possible to configer the SQLDeveloper, because this statement causes an error.
Thanks a lot
Torsten

My Operating System is Window XP professionel and there is jre 1.4 running. When I execute the SQL-Statement I get the following result:
PARAMETER VALUE
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS ,.
1 rows selected
The thing that really makes me thoughtful is that SQLdeveloper doesn't know its own export-format...
greets
