My cd tray will not open
My cd tray will not open the only way I can open it is by using the terminal commands "drutil open" and "drutil close"
Is there a disc in the drive?
Are you saying depressing (for several seconds) the F12 key does not open the drive?
You can add an Eject Item to the Menu Bar
1. Open a Finder window and navigate to /System/Library/Core Services/ Menu Extras.
2. Double-click the Eject.menu item in the Menu Extras folder.
The Eject menu item will be added to your Mac’s menu bar. It will have the eject icon, which is a chevron with a line below it. If you click on the Eject menu item, it will display all of the CD/DVD drives attached to your Mac, and provide the option to ‘Open’ or ‘Close’ each drive, depending on its current state.
Cheers, Tom

When I put my mouse over the firefox icon in the lower tray it shows small pictures of the home page but when i click on these they will not open to a full page. I am using windows 7. This problem just started today. I can use internet explorer without a problem. Thanks for any assistance you can give. I contact HP and they said to contact your support as they only support internet explorer.
below is what I get with the dev.jeffersonscher.com etc. url. But what do I do with this information? I can launch safe mode, but I still get only the 2" icon/window of Firefox.

My sim tray is locked, and whenever I put the sim eject tool in the hole beside it, it will not open, what should i do?
Use a small thin piece of plastic (metal tools are likely to scratch the case) and work along the seams of the tray. In all likelihood your tool is unlocking it but the tray itself is a bit gummed up, jammed. Be patient, don't force things, and you'll probably get it open in short order.

I added a few add-ons yesterday to FF (I'm on current version). No problem. FF opened normally today until I added a new "user" to my laptop. After that, FF does not open at all, even from my original user account, which is the administrator. I don't think it was the add-ons, but I'm not sure. I deleted the new user account, turned the computer off/on again, rebooted (numerous times) and still FF will not open for me. The FF file is still in the computer (program list), and I still have the icons and it's in the tray. I have a Dell Studio, only 1-1/2 years old, use FF exclusively as my default browser.
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

New key board eject key will not open Drive Door
I know this has been answered, but I cannot find it. I have added a new white key board (not the thin one) to an 800 Mhz iMac flat-panel and of course the CD drive door will not open with the eject key.
I'm considering removing the door and gluing a pull-handle on the tray! Seriously, why would Apple make the eject key incompatible on the newer keyboards?
Thanks
Message was edited by: Peter MarsOdd, I had the A1048 (later white keyboard with USB1.1 ports on back) keyboard on my iMac G4, I've just plugged it in my Alu Intel iMac and the Eject Key ⏏ still functions as expected. Have you checked the keyboard shortcuts in menu > System Preferences... > Keyboard & Mouse?
Alternatively pop the ⏏ key and the F12 key off the keyboard and swap them over.
cheers

G5 Powermac SuperDrive Door Will Not Open - (mechanical problem)
...so my superdrive was acting up, making noises etc. so I removed the superdrive from the case, took it apart, put it back together, re-installed it but now it will not open the door on the case (outer door) ... the cd tray will not come out unless I hold the outer door open.
reinstalled several times to make sure its lined up ok, but it still doesn't work.
when I hold the door open and push the eject button, the cd tray comes out fine.
the door doesn't seem to be jammed. moves fine.
I don't believe its a software problem
now what?it would be good if there was a burner that could burn cd, dvd, dual layer and HD / Blueray too.
There is, but to get/use an internal one you need IDE to SATA converters since all Blu-Ray drives are SATA...

Or an external one...

But you need Toast 10 to Write Blu-Ray, so maybe...

My safari will not open the msn.com site but it will open the other msn websites like "entertainment" and " sports". What to do?
There have been a few users talking about this for the past few days. I have no problems at all with it using Safari or iCab Mobile. This sequence has worked for most of the user that have tried it however, YMMV.
Try this.
Quit the Safari app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
And do this as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Clearing history is not a necessity, but clear cookies and data. -
CD Tray Will Not Close (iBook Dual USB 500MHz)
I have a iBook Dual USB 500MHz that only has one problem: the CD tray will not close. I'd rather not disassemble it. How does the tray catch and where? Thanks!
Hey Tom,
I've got a Combo Drive here in a taken apart G3 500. I opened it up and took some pix. They're here:
http://www.photolava.com/view/bsm8.html
So to get here you'll have to remove the drive from the iBook and remove the top.
You're looking at the locking mechanism and the manual release mechanism.
So from what I see the things that could go wrong:
1) That split ring could fall off and the latching hook would fall off/jam.
2) The solenoid could be stuck in a retracted position or the return spring could
fail.
3) Either the latching hook or the latching solenoid hook could be broken.
If you need help taking the Combo drive out eMail me.

I am trying to import developed images from LightRoom 5 Photoshop 6 for further editing. I am receiving this message and the images will not open.....'Could not open scratch file because the file is locked, or you do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file. How do I fix this? I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond with terms and procedures that a computer ignorant user, such as me, will understand. Thanks.
Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?
Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue. -

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?

Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup? -
I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?
I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.
