Now a new problem ejecting disc

I inserted a music CD to copy to iTunes and after I tried to eject it but got this - "The disk "Untitled CD" is in use and could not be ejected. Try quitting applications and try again. I quit all applications but still it will not eject just says the same, is there any way to eject it other than left mouse button and the eject on the key board. Do you think it has any thing to do with trying to update to 10.5.8.
Thanks

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject.
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • IDvd Problems - ejects disc blank

    Hi
    I have been trying loads of different solutions to this problem. Basically each time my computer gets to multiplexing and burning it ejects the disc (blank still) and stays on that screen for hours! It is so frustrating. I have tried burning the movie as a disc image and burning that through disk utility and it comes up: could not burn disk. I have tried a different disk and it doesnt move from 'closing session' PLEASE HELP!

    Hi again,
    I purchased a pack of Verbatim DVD-R DL Discs, tried the iDVD route and it ejected at the burning and multiplexing stage again. Not only this, but after burning and trying that same failed disc again, it actually contains part of the project, so this disc is now unusable.
    After this I went the Disc Utility option as you advised and successfully got to the end until the 'closing session' section. Here, it continues to load and says it is 'closing the session' and i can hear my Disc drive spinning away, stopping, then starting to spin again (this continues to happen forever and ever)
    Any suggestions at this stage would be great as i'm truly at a lost cause now..
    Thanks

  • Updated to CR 2008 - now have new problem with truncated String fields.

    Hi there
    I'm hoping someone has a simple answer for this one...  notice there's a lot of it on forums but I haven't found an answer.
    Since updating to Crystal 2008 (Crystal 12), we have found that some reports are suddenly truncating string fields at 255 characters, despite the field value being much longer in the database.
    Does anyone know what to do to allow these fields to print in completion?
    Database connection is ODBC RDO.
    regards
    -Karen

    What is the database Oracle, SQL server etc.
    Can you query the database directly with another query tool, eg SQL Server Management Studion or SQL developer/Toad for Oracle.
    You can then run the Crystal query directly and see if its your ODBC connection that is truncating the datafield or Crystal.
    I have memo fields on SQL server with up to 2000 characters and these display in Crystal 2008 without any problem. We use ODBC (RDO) too.

  • Old Problem/New Problem: Lightroom can't find file, then finds, but won't edit it.

    (Lightroom 2; Macintosh G5; OS X (10.4.11))
    First, the old problem which, though unresolved, is here mostly for background:
    A little over a month ago, I posted a question (at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/480423?tstart=0 ).
    The short version of that problem is that certain previously accessible images were not able to be opened in Lighroom. The preview image appeared in the main window accompanied by this message across the top of it:
    "The file named "[name of image/file]" is offline or missing."
    When I right clicked on the image and selected "Show in finder" I got this message:
    "The photo '[name of file]' could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
    Below which was shown the original path to the file. In the middle of that path, one or more folders appeared with colons in their names in place of the slashes originally part of the names (some folders have dates in their names). Following the path via the Finder, the file was exactly where it was supposed to be, although, of course, slashes appeared instead of the colons that were in the Lightroom summary of the original path, but Lightroom couldn't find them.
    I was convinced that Lightroom was renaming the folders (but only in its interface; the original folders had correct names in the finder -- which is the only way they could have been named, since colons are illegal characters and won't be accepted as part of a file name). But I see now that there is some weird thing going on in the Finder itself. Even though I see the correct name on a folder when I search for it, or navigate through the hierarchy, if I click on the file at the end of that hierarchy (the file that Lightroom said it couldn't find) and ask for file info (via Command - I, or other method), the path to that file shows colons where slashes should be, but only in the names of the folders that were so named in Lightroom. All other folders with slashes in their names are listed correctly. So it's a Finder problem. Though this is still a mystery, I have been able to work around the problem. But how is this happening? (Note that I will be reformulating the question and posting it on the Apple discussion groups soon; I don't expect this forum to deal with Apple system issues. Just thought that others here may have had the same problem.)
    Now, the new problem, possibly related to the old one:
    In the same collection where I noted the previous problem, I selected an image that I wanted to print. The preview came up with this message:
    "The file could not be found."
    But when I right click on the image and select "Show in finder" it opens the correct Finder window with the file in question highlighted. The file, a TIFF, opens normally in Preview or Photoshop.
    So why does Lightroom think it's not there? (even though it can show me exactly where it is)
    I have edited this photo in Lightroom before. I have printed it from Lightroom before (as shown in the Lightroom history). But today it can't be edited, won't print and "could not be found"!!!
    I know I can print from Photoshop, or re-import this photo into Lightroom (along with any others that Lightroom "can't find"), though both would require time and re-editing the original. I would rather understand (if that's possible) why this is happening in the first place, so hopefully I can avoid such wackiness in the future.
    I realize that may have to burn some sage and hire a Shaman, but any ideas that won't smoke up the house or scare the cats would be most welcome.
    Thanks for reading.

    If you have an old goat around that's not doing so well, consider the sacrifice.
    The one thing that occurs to me besides the Gremlin, is the use of colons or slashes or some other character that the OS or LR doesn't like in some file name or other.  I think you'd have to change same in Finder, then show LR where the images are.

  • Ok new problem "-_- I know, I'm Sorry Guys!!!

    Ok I got My macbook to work "Yay!!" but now a new problem arise "Booo ".
    Like always it has no lights except for the screen when it is on.
    I can adjust the screen brightness, but not the keyboard brightness, the keyboard back light dosn't even turn on but yet the icon and the intensity bar shows up on the screen???
    Also anytime I try to open minecraft or play any online and/or offline videos it just crashes on me???
    Another thing like in my previous note I said the fan is running really hard but it's not over heated or sustained any heavy usage, the fan always runs this strong starting from the boot up.                   
    Lastly I got my laptop to work because i used the (SMC) for a unibody ver. of the macbook series but my macbook is the removable battery aluminum type???

  • Help!  I transferred the data from my old Macbook pro with some success, but now my new Macbook Air contents think they are the remote disc and that the old Mac Pro is the hard drive.  What did I do and how do I fix it?

    I transferred the data from my old 2006 MacBook Pro 17".  Thanks for the help on that.  I thought that I was doing it right.  Used a backup hard drive and time machine.  Problem:  Now my new macbook air thinks it is the old machine and that the remote disc is the mb air.  Clicks want to take things to mobile me instead of iCloud, old applications launch instead of the new ones.  How do I fix the mess I have made?  Like I said before,  I am a software user and don't really know what I am doing when I start into the guts of the software, but I am able to learn.  Thanks for any help.

  • Vista problem, cant eject Disc 1

    Trying to install Vista Business on a 50GB partition of my new iMac (2GB) running 10.5.2.
    Installation begins and Windows goes along perfectly and then asks me for disc 2. Problem is, I have no way to eject disc 1. The keyboard eject button does not work, windows offers me no button, and there is of course no way to manually eject.
    The Microsoft tells me that Vista comes ONLY in multi disc install and I see that some of you have installed Vista with Bootcamp. HOW ARE YOU DOING IT?
    Thanks

    Natgreg:
    Welcome to the Forums:
    That Upgrade version of Windows XP is your problem and therefore you are unable to install XP on your computer. Boot Camp requires a full version of Windows XP/SP2 or any full version of Vista.
    You said that your work has over 200 computers and everyone has upgraded to windows XP. Remember that your work probably has Windows based PCs and therefore those people already had an earlier version of windows installed and therefore they could upgrade. On your Mac, you will are installing windows for the first time and therefore will need a FULL RETAIL VERSION (OEM VERSIONS WILL WORK TOO).
    Where do you get a full version of windows? You will need to purchase it.

  • Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored

    Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored and updated firmware, deleted the account, anything I could think of, but it's just not accurately downloading the most recent emails.

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • New Problem: some areas of video "jitter" now

    OK..New Problem. Reinstalled FCE4.
    Have done 3 segments (before, I had the one video that pixelated for the last 10 minutes or so)...so I broke it down and now have 3 segments, EACH SEGMENT PREVIEWS FINE! AND...I've burned each segment successfully onto a Blu-ray (rewritable now!).  Just put the 3 segments together, figuring all would be fine...NOT!   There are "jittery" parts here and there towards the end...not all, just bits here and there. I can't figure out why...since each part rendered and burned and looked fine....putting them together and the project is now no good.
    Before the project (full project) was fine in FCE4 but seemed to have problems when it was burned (Toast 10).  Now, the project itself is corrupt.
    Any clues?
    (Imac 27, 32 GB RAM)
    Thanks...

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

  • Cannot eject disc from iMac (physical problem not  software)

    *Problem description*: When my iMac attempted eject a disc I could hear a thump and feel the disc hitting something on the case after which it would give up and reload the disc. The cause of this problem was a misalignment of the drive with the slot on the case. This in turn was caused because the front and the body of the iMac (the back part) had sprung apart a bit.
    *Problem solution*: The solution was to squeeze the front and body together by placing my hand on the upper right corner of the iMac with the palm on the front and the fingers on the body. I could feel the bezel and body press back together with a very mild snap. After that there were no more problems with ejecting discs.
    Comments: I move my iMac around a bit and assume the the separation of front from back happened during transport.

    1. Click on Finder or your Desktop and with Finder on the Menu Bar open Finder Preferences. Next click on the Sidebar tab in Finder Preferences and make sure that (CDs, DVDs and iPods) is checked.
    2. Also check the General tab if you would like these things to also show up on your Desktop.
    Lastly you should also be able to Eject CDs & DVDs using the Eject button on the Menu Bar.
