Try the tips here:
Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support
Especially holding the trackpad mouse button upon restart and resetting the SMC.
If it's stuck in there you might have to make a "guide" out of two thin pieces of plastic. Post back if that's the case.

The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this?

Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

" I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
This has been a known issue in the past:

My old version mac book airdoes not start up so i tried to reinstall lion but it says its locked. how do i unloke it with out being able to start up the system.

my old version mac book air does not start up so i tried to reinstall lion but it says its locked. how do i unlock it with out being able to start up the system.

Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

Why is my Mac Book Pro not charging the battery?

I let my Mac Book get down to 4% and now its just taking power to stay up. When will it charge my battery?

Keep it charging for a while.
If you can, do not use the computer for a while.
Let it charge.
Best.

I have forgotten my password to get into my mac bokok pro. I have used my iPad to reset the password but my Mac book does not recognise the reset password.

I have reset my password using my iPad. Why does my Mac book not recognise it to allow me to log in to it?

What password did you change and what password is your Mac requesting.
Without details all you will get is guesses.

Mac Book Pro not working replaced logic board

Hi all,
My Mac Book Pro died on me about 2 weeks ago. I was using it like I normally do and then suddenly an error message came up on the screen and a white transparent screen came from the top of the screen to the bottom. Then it shut off. After that we tried resetting the PRAM and tried booting it from a Snow Leopard disk. The machine won't chime. It does spin a disk in the drive though, but there is no video either.
I brought it in to an apple store and they said it was the logic board. I purchased a new logic board , installed it and the symptoms are the same. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Working on 5 movies at the same time and one will not open. It is there and will play but won't open and I can't share it or move file.

Working on a project with 5 movies at the same time andone movie project will not open I can see it and play it but can't open to work on it or share or copy it, what should I do?

WHat version of iMovie?
ANd for iPad or iPhone?
Are you having issues opening a video you took on the device?
OR an issue opening a project you previously created?

My iMovie is not working, it tells me there's a problem but does not know the problem, Can someone help me figure this out please?

A couple of days ago, my I opened up my iMovie and it just goes into the blank screen. I am able to click on things like, "import" or "create" and it will take me into the next window, but when I choose an option, I receive a message that there is a problem, but they don't know what the problem is. It has been like this for the past couple of days. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app about 3 times and it still comes out the same. Please assist in any way possible!

Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When it's rebooted you can force a backup via Settings > iCLoud
