(OFF TOPIC) -Mac Snow Leopard - Eject CD disk?

Thought I'd ask around here as somone has most probably had this issue in the past.
I've just started using a Mac with Snow Leopard on it. When I burn a CD the CD burns ok but the disk icon disappears from the desktop once the process of burning is over. How can I eject it without having to boot up the computer everytime to make the icon reappear on the desktop allowing me to drag it to the trash to eject?
Cheers
Os.

No 'Eject' button on your keyboard? Top right, above delete.
In the Finder preferences, you can select what disks show on your desktop. You could check and see if CD/DVD is checked.
While the Finder is selected, go to File > Eject.
You could also see if ther Disc appears in Disk Utility and eject it that way.
If these don't work, you can try holding down the left click of the mouse on restart but not sure if this works without a wired mouse.
EDIT:// You could also see if the disc appears in iTunes and eject from there.

  • How can i do a factory reset in snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my other programs

    how can i do a factory reset on snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my programs?

    You can't. You will need a Snow Leopard disc. You can purchase replacements for your computer from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    A "factory reset" means you erase the drive securely. All of your files will be removed permanently. I suggest you make a backup:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • When i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    when i try to install snow leopard with install disk, it has me restart the computer instead of installing. can anyone help me figure out how to get the disk to actually install?

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

  • New ipad air 2.  Itunes on Mac (snow leopard). New ipad will only synch music from restored from my old ipad 2.  Won't synch all other music from itunes.

    Just purchased new ipad air 2. When I performed system restore from the backup from my old ipad 2, the music that was on my old ipad transferred to my new ipad.  But I can't synch the rest of the music I have in my itunes on my mac (snow leopard. itunes 11.4). Suggestions?

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

    Can your iMac even startup from a Snow Leopard disc? In order to install Snow Leopard on your MBP you need to boot the iMac from the Snow Leopard installer DVD. The MBP is then started in TDM. Then follow this:
         1. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         2. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         3. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    When the installation is completed the MBP should restart into the Setup Assistant of Snow Leopard. 
    I should warn you that the above may not work because if your iMac came with Snow Leopard, then it came with a version that was exclusive to that model meaning it may not work on the MBP, and that may be why you couldn't boot it.
    You can order replacement discs for the MBP from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

  • How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

    I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
    So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

  • Printing from InDesign CS4 on Mac Snow Leopard to HP officejet pro K5400

    I recently started using a Mac Snow Leopard with InDesign CS4; for awhile it printed fine. Then, dealing with a book mss, I had to get InDesign to convert the document to a PDF, and since that time, the Officejet Pro k5400 will only print in what appears to be the best quality, even when I tell it to print in fast draft, and even set that as a preset. Anybody had that problem? Anybody have any suggestions as to what is going on here? How can I get the printer to print in fast draft? Thanks for any help,

    It's probably not a 64-bit capable processor. Check in the Apple menu->About this Mac what it says your processor is. You need at least a Core 2 Duo.

  • Getting msg that version of Safari no longer supported on my mac snow leopard, ver. 10.6.8.  I have no extensions

    How do I satisfy request to upgrade browser - version of Safari no longer supported?  I have a mac, snow leopard, ver. 10.6.8 & I have no extensions & upgraded software from Apple pull-down menu.  Msg is still there.

    You need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Firefox clogs my CPU with all cores on my Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.4

    I usually browse the web heavily as I open around 300 tabs sometimes. However, with the recent update of Firefox, I have 3.6.8 running on my latest Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.4; soon after I open my browser it becomes deadly slow after a while. The activity monitor shows Firefox eating up all cycles on all cores. I noticed that this happens after I open a site with flash or an applet in it, but not sure though. It also crashes.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Is there a "password corral" App provided with the Mac/Snow Leopard?

    Is there a "password corral" App provided with the Mac/Snow Leopard?
    Someplace to keep all manner of passwords one accumulates?

    Keychain does an okay job of it.
    But I much prefer 1Password. It costs $39. There's a promotion on at MacUpdate right now, where you can get it bundled with Parallels Desktop, Tech Tool Pro, and seven other decent apps for only $50, instead of the $367 all the apps would cost if bought individually.

  • My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer wireless

    My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer even though i have added the printer bonjour to my print list, even though the blue and white light s are on on the printer panel.
    I have good signal strength
    the printer ip is 192.168.1.8
    Help

    OK, using these instructions: https://www.broadbandadvice.org.uk/Website/Routers/HG532.htm  change the channel to 11.
    Now, if and when the printer is connected with a vaild IP address, let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
