How do I get the dvd blank tape out of the computer

I have successfully copied onto a dvd from my camera using Idvd08 One step. I did about four dvd's ok. Then, when I opened the idvd and chose "one step" and put in the blank dvd, it would keep showing on the screen the directions , when I chose "ok" it then went back to the opening icon where I would choose "one step". repeatedly. and the blank dvd is stuck in the computer. I tried holding down F!2 but that didn't work to eject the dvd. I have about 10 more movies to put onto a dvd from my camera. They are short about 10 minutes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I did get the dvd out of the computer. I finally found a direction that worked. I still cannot get the idvd to record from the camera using 'one step'. thanks for any suggestions.

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?

Remote Disc Can't recognize Blank disc, but it does recognize other discs. I am trying to burn something from my itunes on my mac mini to a blank disc on my windows computer. What could be wrong?
I can see other discs such as music and stuff so I know I have installed it correctly but how come I can't see the blank disc that I need to burn?

You can't burn discs remotely, you can only read data discs remotely (i.e. you cannot play movie DVDs either).
Either copy the files to the remote computer or get an external drive.

Hello m.goo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
To eject the Disc, hold the Mouse button down, (or what passes for it on a Laptop), while powering up, if you also hold the Option key down at the same time it should eject & give you a chance to insert your install disc & wait for it to shw as a Boot option.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
If it appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, APPs, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

Blank draft email stuck on the screen.

I have a blank draft email stuck on the screen. Every time I open Mail, there it is, immovable and permanent. Cancel and send buttons do not work. The usual Inbox screen can be seen greyed out in the back ground. I cannot deal with emails at all. How do I rectify this?

Screen Goes Blank, Hard Drive Stuck, Cannot Re-Install, or recover

I have somewhat a bizzar problem that even with several years of IT experience I seam not to be able to figure it out. I thought I toss it our here at Toshiba community in hopes of people's collective experience shedding some lights on my problem.
I hava a 3 year old Toshiba Sattellite A305D with updated BIOS to version 2.10. It came with Windows Vista Home 32bit and I had upgraded it to Windows 7 64-bit last Christmas. It was working fine till last month that I started getting sporadic blank screens. Here is the symptome with details: screen goes blank, backlight it on, but there is no content on screen. At this time the Hard Disk Drive activity light is steady lit. Initially the problem happened intermitently and sometimes it fixed itself after few minutes and screen would come back on, but when it started to happen more often, I started to look for some troubleshooting. Some people suggested that blank screen could be due to bad lid close button being stuck or Windows power management's CPU power being set to 5%. I have tried cleaning the lid button and fixing power management but no luck. Then, I tried re-installing Windows from DVD, screen never went blank till after the first few steps of setup to the point that it says "Extracting Windows Files". At this time I started to think this is a hardware issue. I took out the RAM, I installed it on my MacBook Pro and used it for few days, and I had no problem. I even diagnosed them with Windows Memory Checker in the list of Recovery Options and no problem was detected. So, the next suspecious thing was the video card or display inverter. I tried connecting the laptop to an external monitor to test the screen's inverter, and same thing happened and external monitor went blank. I used Windows Recovery options and left it on that screen over night and nothing happened so I concluded the video card is fine. Next, I had turned off the Wifi and Lan, but nothing seamed to change, so I concluded those are OK as well. My last coclusion was that the hard drive is bad. I took the drive out and coonected it to my Desktop PC and ran disk utiility scan to check for bad sectors and none was detected. So, I thought the drive might be totally broken. I went to local electronics store and bought a brand new HITACHI SATA II drive and installed it. At first same thing happened so I gave up. Since I didn't have the recovery disks, I ordered recovery disks from Toshiba and tried that. Save thing happend and as soon as it started copying files, it blanked out. OK. So this time I ran a different recovery option and formatted the entire hard disk and zeroed out all sectors. That took approximately 3 days to finish for a 500GB brand new hard drive. Seams a long time.After that I could install Windows 7 64-bit from scratch up to the end. However, things got gorry again when I started installing Updates and driver packages. I had read about some problems with ATI drivers and Catalyst software with .NET updates, so I did not install any driver from update site and made sure all .NET updates are installed. I had to install the updates slowly chosing a few at a time. Otherwise same thing would happen. I got stuck to the point that I could not update anything. Windows files seamed to be corrupt and turning on/off Windows Features in controll panel was blank, so I had to re-install again. I did Re-install successfully using the upgrade option. This time I installed .NET updates first before any other updates. Then I started downloading all Toshiba drivers. Aazingly, the laptop worked for few ours without the symptom. I managed to install most of the drivers and updates including Value Added Package, HDD/DVD Rom Patch, Registry Patch, Sound, Modem, Atheros Wireless, and Catalyst. Up till now things were ok. Then I ran Toshiba Hardware update patch, and things got really messed up. Windows never booted again and symptoms showed right after boot tried to load WIndows. I tried recovery options but System restore kept getting errors too and I could not restore any more. Since Windows 7 Install and Windows Vistal recovery to Factory Default from recovery disk did not work, I thought maybe I should try Windows XP. So, I got a hold of my old Windows XP CD-ROM and I took a stab at it. Everything went fine till it started to copy windows files. This time symptom was different. I got one of those XP Blue Screen of deaths saying Hard Drive is bad and I must run chdsk /F. So, I concluded HDD is the problem. Ran CHDSK and no problem. I formated the drive again using DISKPART and the problem still exists. This is a brand new hard drive. What is the problem?

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop. "A305D" is only partial.
That's quite the problem. How often was it doing this? At some steps in your diagnosing, it seemed to get better, but I wonder if it was actually (temporarily) fixed, or if it didn't occur by chance.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you. Normally I'd suggest you get it serviced, but then you'd also be throwing more money at a three year old notebook when clearly you're knowledgeable yourself.
Hopefully someone in the community will have some suggestions. I have noticed that some people shy away from posts with large paragraphs of text. (I'm not saying that's correct, but it happens.) I'd suggest putting some bullet points at the top summarizing. If you feel like doing that, you can edit your message.
Good luck!

How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

G3 stuck on computer icon screen

I have an original iMac G3 - the one with the tray loader for discs not the slot.
It will turn on and get past the screen with the folder icon and then goes to the grey screen with the computer icon in the middle and then gets stuck there, seemingly forever. It won't let me boot from a CD and pressing shift or anything else while startup does nothing for it either. The keyboard works for a brief while, the caps key blinks for a second and I can use my mouse and arrow for a while until the that computer icon comes on.
I haven't used it in a while but it's been treated pretty well.
Can anyone help?

Did you ever upgrade the hard drive so that it is larger than 8GB?
What version of Mac OS is installed? How much RAM is installed?
You can try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If the iMac was disconnect from power for an extended time, the PRAM (clock) battery may be drained. It is located on the logic board and looks like this
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
If you have a voltmeter, you can test the one you have currently - it should be between 3.3 and 3.7 volts. A weak or dead PRAM battery can cause odd startup issues. I read a few reports saying that removing the battery allowed the iMac to start up, although PRAM settings were lost between power ups.

HT1414 iPod Touch has a blank white screen and the computer does not recognise it. I have tried pressing the Home button and Up Volume button and Off button to no avail. Thank you

I tried to download an upgrade that was recommended by APPLE, the upgrade stopped halfway through and the iPod Touch was turned off, now the iPod Touch has a BLANK WHITE SCREEN and is UNRESPONSIVE to the COMPUTER
I wonder if anyone can help
Thank you

Try:
- 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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Lightroom 5 installation stuck at "computing space requirements"

I am trying to install a new copy of Lightroom 5 from DVD, but the installation process gets stuck at the following screen:
It never gets beyond that point. I have tried leaving it for up to 30 minutes but nothing changes. If I click "cancel" nothing happens and I then have to use task Manager to close the installation programme.
I am using Windows 8 on a new Dell PC that far exceeds all the minimum specifications.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I have now managed to install Lightroom 5. It seems my computer needed to reboot to install some Windows updates. I am guessing this was the cause of the problem. I tried to restart the compuiter but it hung for ages on "restarting". Eventually I switched off the power and restarted, then tried the install again and it worked fine. I hope this may help anyone else with the same problem.

Cd stuck in computer

i am not sure if this is the right forum if not please direct me.. i just bought an imac before christmas with snow leopard.
i put one of those pics cd's (from walmart) in and now it won't do anything... won't read the cd but what is worse is i can't get it out of the imac. i have gone to finder and tried to drag to trash which i did but it is still in there. on the desktop there is an icon and i have tried to drag it to the trash but the computer hangs up. now when i go to finder it isn't showing the cd at all.
maybe i stuck it in backwards ??? or it just doesnt like it.
please help!!! thanks in advance.

Yeah computers can be frustrating. But don't let it get to you. There is always a chance the you might get the one that is defective but anything can be fixed and apple is very good about helping you. But as for your problem. I have had a similar issue before. I just let it set for awhile then came back to it. The method I found to get that pesky CD out was to do a restart as everyone said but what I did after that was as soon as the Apple logo appears on the screen hold F11 or eject, I cant remember. Eject seems like to obvious choice but I think it was F11. Just hold the button and the Disk will eject before the mac fully restarts. It has always worked for me. Next time, you can also try that. Good luck.

PDF files open blank; EPUB work OK; Authorize Computer & Authorization Info. do nothing

Running ADE 2.0.1.78765 on Windows 7 Pro ...
I can download ePUB and PDF files from my university library just fine;EPUB books workin just fine, but the PDF files are completely blank EXCEPT for the contents list.
The files are, by their size, clearly not blank ... there must be some security feature stopping me from reading them.
Also, when I click Authorize Computer or Authorization Info. nothing happens.
Same as when I press Ctrl+Shift+U or Ctrl+Shift+I.
Help!!!

Thanks for those tips.
I have downloaded and installed the latest version and chosen to 'authorize' an Adobe ID.
Behaviour remains the same. The ePUB version of the book downloads and works just fine; the PDF downloads and is blank aside from the contents pane.
The reason I want the PDF to work is because it is paginated as per the hard copy book; the ePUB's pagination is variable and so useless for referencing.
I see a lot of people have similar issues, invariably unsolved, so yet another pothole on the great Information Super Highway! Sigh.

Blank blue screen and then computer crashes.

I'm having a lot of problems with Skype desktop on a Win 7 64 bit machine. It has worked fine on this machine until the past few days.
When I call someone the call connects but i get a blank blue screen and cannot interact with Skype. If I try to access other programmes the computer hangs (the call still continues) and I'm forced to do a hard shutdown.
Also when I go to check the settings it hangs when setting up the web cam.
I've unistalled and reinstalled Skype and the webcam software ensured that I have the latest versions of these and IE.
I have followed the instructions here http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Solution-for-empty-blank-login-screen/td-p/1008... and checked that my webcam is operating correctly here http://www.trust.com/en/faq/webcam.
None of this has worked. Any suggestions as to what I should try next.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Illustrator CS2 Student Edition Stuck On Computer

I'm a windows XP user and I installed Illustrator CS2 (student edition) on my computer years ago while I was a student. The software no longer works and doesn't start up. When I try to uninstall the software using the XP utility or repair the software using the original disc I get the following error message:
The window was interrupted before Adobe Illustrator CS2 could be completely installed. Your system cannot be modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.
I tried again with the firewall and anitivirus turned off, with no luck.
Same thing is happening with my Photoshop CS2. Any ideas???

Naja ich kanns starten, also daran wirds denk ich nicht liegen.

Blank Page, Really Stuck, Please Help

Hi all,
I've got a Report that I'm running from a client application to a job server that produces a Crystal Report. When I run this report against a local server on my machine the report completes without issue but when I run it against a different server on a different machine the report displays 3 blank pages in the middle of the data. I'm using the same database, same data, same report file. This occurs ONLY when running this report against the remote server and is unconcerned with any of the above listed conditions.
-I'm using Crystal Reports 11.5
Visual Studio 2008
-My local machine is 32 bit win7, the remote server is 32 Windows Server 2008.
If anyone could give me a hand at all I would be EXTREMELY gracious.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hey guys, thanks a ton for the responses.
I think I'm getting close. It has something to do with "Keep Together" either on the columns in a crosstab or on a couple sections within the report.
What's really still blowing my mind here is how it's different on the 64 bit machine. The client application is previewing the reports in adobe reader so I don't think the print drivers should be relevant. I did go ahead and update to Adobe Reader 10 on both machines and it had no effect but playing with these "keep together" settings seems to work .
I'll check back with final results later.
Thanks again,
Ryan
