  • My CD/DVD drive will not open

    My CD/DVD drive will not open when I insert any type CD/DVD. The CD/DVD just runs but will not open.

    Try cleaning the lens:
    Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
    Use a few shots of compressed air in the slot.
    Wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth?) around a business card and gently insert it in the slot.
    If no success, a trip to the genius bar at an Apple store is the best option.
    Ciao.

  • I just downloaded Premiere Elements 9 and it will not open Help!

    I just downloaded Premiere Elements 9 and it will not open Help!

    kmeg55
    From where did you download Premiere Elements 9 at this late date? What computer operating system is it to be running on?
    Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed?
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    Are you getting any display card errors?
    We have just gone down this type of road with another 9 user, so let us start with what finally seems to have worked for him.
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Is the driver for that card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of that card? If not, update the card driver. If the driver is up to date already, then delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
    For now I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path shown. After you deleted the BadDrivers.txt and reopened Premiere Elements, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file but now the problem should be gone.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
    The rationale behind deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in post 10 of the following thread

  • My Skype Will Not Open, HELP

    Ok, I need help, this problem happend a couple weeks/months ago but I dealt with it up until now, my Skype will not open I only see a Skype Window when I log out, but only a tiny fraction of it, I tried Restore, Maximize, and move but none of these help, I tried looking for other help on here but none matched my problem, if someone can please help me, please do, none of my friends can help me, I have a feeling that my Skype window is somewhere off of my screen, somewhere I can't see it...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have Win 7.
    The latest Skype version 6.11
    when I turn on skype I don't hear that creepy start up sound. sometimes I do. when I try to change my status it won't let me. it just don't do anything.
    when I try to call I don't hear the calling sound. no one can see/accept my calls. I can't accept anyone's calls either. 
    when I try to call someone and try to hang up it won't do it. it just keep calling. no ringing sound at all.
    when I try to quit the icon sits on the task bar (it says signed out). alt/crt/del doesn't show that Skype is runing so I can't close it at all. I have to reboot my PC to actually close it.
    everything worked fine until last Sun 12/5. 
    I deleted completely from the PC, unistaled, and instaled. it won't work. not even older versions.
    I have a laptop with Win Vista with 6.11 version Skype - and it works perfect.
    I have another PC with Win7 (my son's) - with Win7 and 6.11 verson Skype - it works
    it works fine on Android Tablet and iPad.
    I have done nothing that could do what it did.
    Do you think that that latest change of gadgets could harm Skype?

    I noticed that since that was lost my problems on THIS computer started. It's really REALLY frustrating!
    Please help!

  • Aperture will not open-  HELP!!!

    Can anyone help me?  Aperture will not open and I'm worried that I will loose over 35000 photos.  When I try to open Aperture this is the message I get:
    There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/philcammarata/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?
    Looking forward to hearing from someone.
    Phil

    OK good, version 2 on Mountain Lion would be dicey.
    Do you have backups of the library? If you don;t now would be a good time to make one.
    The first step is to run the Aperture library first aid procedures. Hold down the option (alt) and command keys while starting Aperture. This will open the first aid window. Now select and run Library Repair.
    Once it is done post back the results.
    Good luck

  • App update page will not open,help.

    When using the app's store update in which it says there is 3 updates, the update page will not open, just a blank page, can anybody help?

    There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix. The problem has been going on for several days. You can try rebooting first and see if that gets the apps to show up in the updates tab.
    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.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    This is a workaround only and not a fix. If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    Select update on the Apps
    Hopefully the red notification number will go away after the updates are applied.
    Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
    1. Launch iTunes
    2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
    Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
    Update all of the apps
    Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.

    jleedancer,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    Try this first -- it may be enough to kick it loose.
    ·         Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    ·         Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    ·         Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    ·         Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
    ·         Boot the computer and log in
    Reminder:  Hard Reset is just a device Reset.  The Hard Reset procedure does not  wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way.  It just "clears the cobwebs".  Depending on the cause of the problem, this kind of "reset" can fix a variety of computer glitches.
    If you need more help, you are going to have to provide a lot more detail on your setup and situation.
    Please provide the version of SimplePass you are using  plus the information requested herein:

    hi amyerf!
    It persists to stay in the task manager...
    if itunes.exe is persisting in Task Manager, we should try the following two possibilities first.
    if you have Norton Internet Security, try:

    ... but if the problem persists (or you don't have NIS), see:
