There is a small hole in the front just below the drawer. You can stick a pin or paper clip in there and the tray will open .

Help canceled itune backup disc drive wont open??

Why wont my disc drive open to remove disc?
I canceled the stupid itunes offer to back up my music and because said it'd take hours (Im an idiot I guess I didnt know it would take that long).
Now my disc drive wont open I tried ejecting it by my comp and clicking eject disc or open on disc drive didnt work.
Tried task mangager end, didnt do it.
Whats the deal? I will never try to back up itunes again, I mean they save my data I buy anyway.
Help!?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you ! It worked I was headed there but wasnt sure if that was the right action or not.
I was affraid it would just pick up where it left off.
UGH. That was my first experience with that in several years of pc use LOL.
If my disc drive works I guess it didnt hurt it? It was running kinda hard after but seems okay.

Optical Drive Wont Open

Hi all,
I have a Mac Pro which has just had Leopard installed. My problem is that the optical drive wont open up normally anymore. Pressing the eject button only shows the eject symbol on the screen however does nothing to the drive itself.
The only way I have managed to open the drive is by going to iTunes and selecting the eject option in the control menu. Also by pressing the button at the front of the drive works too.
I had this issue when I had Tiger installed so when I upgraded to Leopard I was hoping the issue would of resolved it self. Which it didn't.
Is there anything that someone can suggest that will help me out?
GuhBeattie

I leave my finger on long enough to see the eject symbol pop up and disappear. Still doesnt work.
And now I have 2 ways to open my optical drive. Via iTunes andd by reseting my mac and keeping my finger on the mouse button.
Not really practical and is annoying when I have so many programs open that I don't want to have to close.
I will be ringing apple tech support to see if they can help me resolve this issue. I will keep you updated.

Itunes old library saved on external drive wont open

I have an old library file of itunes music saved on an external hard drive. Unfortunately now it wont open due to upgrading my laptop. Any ideas please would be welcome.

This is depsite having the latest version of itunes installed and other songs working fine.
Thanks

When you move the library, you don't set the location to the new location, It is already set there.
Yet, occationally the external drive "shuts down" even though the computer goes to sleep and iTunes cannot find the music library.
Exrternal (and internal) drives usually shut down when the computer goes to sleep.
Make sure the drive is ready before launching iTunes.

L305-s5933 dvd drive wont open

hi.
Well I've been experiencing problems with the dvd drive in my laptop last week, I dont know when this problem started because I don't use the dvd drive very often but the problem is that the dvd drive won't open after the computer has been on for one hour or more, when the computer has only a few minutes turned on, I can open the drive and read any dvd/cd I want, but after one hour the freaking drive just stop responding to the eject button. Trying to eject using Windows software won't work either. The only way to make the drive work again is to turn off the laptop and turn it on again.
a few weeks ago I made a clean install of windows 7, so I'm guessing I forgot to install a driver or something?
just to sumarize my situation:
-Dvd drive won't open after the computer has been on for a while. (Doesn't repond to eject button or windows eject command)
-I have to turn off the computer and turn it on again to make the dvd drive work again
-I'm not sure if this problem started after i installed windows 7.
Any help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just for the record.
The problem I was having with the DVD drive was caused because I didn't install an AHCI/PCIIDE patch that's is included in the drivers and applications recovery DVD. After installing this patch (is actually a registry patch) the DVD is working just fine, doesn't matter how long I use the laptop.
Even tough windows 7 supports natively AHCI mode for SATA devices, DVD-rw drives in some (not all) Toshiba laptops have problems in the long run if you don't apply the registry patch.
I hope my experience helps others experiencing this problem.
bye.

Itunes on external hard drive wont open in Win7

I have my itunes stored on an external hard drive using Windows XP. I have just changed my computer to a Win7 version, and now I cant access my library. I can see it there but cannot find the correct path to it. I have been able to access it on my old XP PC so it still works OK, but frustrated not being able to get it to work on a later OS/computer.

Do you have the itunes database file from XP also on the exHD?
iTunes Library.itl
Copy it from XP onto the exHD.
Then connect the exHD to Win 7, do a shift-start of itunes.
Which means, press *AND HOLD* the shift key while starting itunes, keep pressing until you get the prompt. Then browse to the exHD and choose the ITL file you copied over.

External hard drive isnt opening on iMac

Hi everyone, I was advised to post a different discussion instead of having two questions in one, (good tip thank you)
So here is my second questions.
My other problem is that i want to get all my photos onto the imac. My hard drive wont open on my imac - (buffalo HD-PXT500U2/B) it recognises its there but wont aloow me to actually open it to view any file. (Also mac compatible.)
I called apple support again to see if there was anything i can do, the only thing they suggested was that i have to reformat my hard drive (which would mean loosing all the info on there). They suggested putting all my info on my PC, reformatting the EHD, then sucking up all the info again on my EHD, then giving it to my imac. Apart from the fact that i dont think my PC could handle 500 GB of info on it at this stage - this would take days. (currently to download 15GB of data takes an hour or so)
I asked about migration assistant or something similar which was at my start up (i didnt use it) which says it can transfer info from PC to mac - they said it wouldnt work, although i am still unsure as to why.
I have used google again to see what i can find as a fix, but its a mindfield out there and my brain is beginning to get fried - i have spent days trying to find out what fixes there are. I cant even find migration assistant anymore on the imac ( i dont know where it lives)
Please please please help me as I am just about ready to throw in the towel - it shouldnt be this hard or this much of a headache should it?
I am trying to start up my own photographic business which is why I was advised to make the switch, but I am already 2 weeks behind on editing as I am constantly waiting on the delivery, fix, help to get my imac up and running properly.
I do need simple step by step instructions as I am new to mac.
Thanks so much for reading

Reading between the lines, basically you have a drive that's Windows-formatted, that already has a lot of files on it, which you want to read with your Mac.
The usual drive format for Windows drives is NTFS, which in theory Macs can read, but not write to. An older format is FAT, which Macs can read and write to. Since you're not able to even read the drive, I'm a little puzzled.
When you attach the drive to the Mac, what happens? Do you see a drive icon appear on the desktop? If not, make sure that the Finder is set to display drives. Go to the Finder menu, click Preferences, General, and make sure external drives are set to show on the desktop.
If you still don't see it, open Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Do you see the drive there? If so, click on its partition/volume name (not the drive model line, there should be another line beneath it which displays the drive "name" that you've given it). The information at the bottom of the screen should tell you what format the volume is.
If it's NTFS, you could TRY installing Paragon NTFS. As I say, in theory with NTFS you certainly should be able to read the drive, but it might help. Worse case, you're out $20.
Failing that, does this hard drive have any kind of protection or encryption built into it? Some drives have proprietary encryption which relies on software that you install on your system. In that case, you would only be able to read it from your Windows system. If that's the case, maybe you can turn the encryption off on the WIndows side, then try again connecting to your Mac.

Does the upper door slide down easily if you try to open it with your finger? If you try to open the upper drive while the door is opened does the tray move at all? Does it hit one side of the opening?
Was the lower drive just installed? Were the jumpers set to cable select, slave or master on the lower drive? Same question about the upper drive.

Satellite L650-1N8 - ODD wont open

Hello again ^^
The DVD Drive wont open. Any Idea?
Thought the Eject-mechanism are out of work...
Thanks in regards
Jan

Okay, i removed the ODD and check out what happen. The devicecable cames between the ODD-case and the device himself. I think the ejectmechanism was to weak to overcome the obstacle.
The reason i think was a to fast/hard push back. So be careful guys! ^^

ITunes wont open from my external hard drive onto my new laptop

i have an external hard drive connected to my desktop with all my itunes music on there. but when i connect the external to my new laptop, itunes wont open. it says i dont have itunes support or something like that. and the reason i have my music on the external is so i CAN open itunes from another computer. but this isnt happening right now. someone please help.

yea it is an error 2
Many thanks.
We'll try a "standalone" installation of Apple Application Support, then. (It may not install, but at least we'll have a better idea of what the problem is, based on any error messages we might get.)
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us no what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Itunes wont open need help backing up music on external hard drive

My itunes wont open after upgraded to 8 , ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and quicktime and still wont work. i found a topic to possibly help me but i dont know how to tranfer my music to an external disk drive without being able to open itunes. i am getting so frustrated. please help

A usb hard drive that Windows sees doesn't need software for a simple back up.
Format the hard drive Disk Management, if it doesn't come already formatted, and then drag and drop the iTunes folder and whatever other data you want to back up to it.
What you're describing doesn't sound like something iTunes did. If you're having general install troubles you have another problem with your system and it's time for a little troubleshooting to find out what's really going on.

I would first reboot the computer and then try to open FCP again.
If that doesn't work, you might trash FCP preferences.
Download FCP Rescue to help with this.

Copying/transferring will not work. You need to install the software using installation files.
