PLease help this is ridiculous,wont recognize/eject cd

My friend came over with a burnt cd i put it in the drive and then nothing
no spinning,noise,or icon. I have tried every trick in the book and every startup method. I even target disked my computer with my sister's to see if i could even see the volume of a removable disk. I have tried the thing in terminal no go and also he thing with disk utility. The problem is the computer hasn't recognized the cd therefore there is nothing to eject. the drive makes no attempt to eject the disk no matter what i do and the disk is not even reading. If i could just see the recognition of the cd somewhere i think id know how to get it out. I dont wanna have to lug this beast to the store for a simple fix. If someone could please shed some light on this for me youd be a great help.

As to if the disk was finalized I am unsure. It was just a cd with some techno on it but it was for sure not burned on a mac. when i try to put the computer to sleep and press eject at least to cd reads it spins for 3 seconds sounds as though its going to eject but then remains dormant. And i must have resarted my computer 12 times last night holding down the mouse button to no avail. This is frustrating this used to happen with my g4 powerbook that is why i bought a new computer. Thank you though Stefan for at least another method.

  • HT1339 my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
    So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead?  You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
    You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support.  If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

  • Why is my iPod Touch's memory 0 when i only have 249 mb of photos and camera and 23l mb of Music? Please help this is a big issue! what do i do? ps i dont want to loose 2 of my apps!!

    I have a 8GB Ipod Touch and i know its not a lot, but in the beginning it was working fine. For some time now it wont let me excede even 1GB of memory. i have no games, no apps, not many contacts, hardly anything! only 249 mb of photos and camera and 23l mb of Music. i have backed it up and restarted it and everything and i am getting annoyed! please help me!! i cant live without my ipod!!! This is urgent!
    P.S: i have 2 apps on my ipod that i would not like to loose! IF theres anyway to save them in the process of fixing my ipod that will be great!
    Thank you!

    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

  • Please help me itunes 8 wont load w/ invalid signature error

    There has to be some sort of cosmic joker who is laughing at all of us. Perhaps the folks at Verisign are playing games with us or maybe it's Microsoft. How can there be a requirement to upgrade to itunes 8 when you purchase a new Nano and then not be able to do it because of an invalid signature error. I'm not the only one who has had this problem as I see it all over the web. I have tried it on another system sitting right next to this one (Win vista x32bit) and it didn't work either. I have deleted everything and updated win installer ver 4.5 and nothing works. The application wont run because of the signature error. I'm sure that the powers that be know what the problem is but dont want to release the fix because one side or the other hasn't been paid the appropriate money. It's always about the money. I have read every thread and suggestion that I could find but cant get it to work. If anyone has the answer please help me. I'm not a technotard and this is frustrating

    I am afraid AFIK a clear cut solution for this hasn't emerged.
    Are you trying to update with Apple Software Update. You might try repairing it from add/remove programs and trying again after a restart.
    Have you tried downloading the iTunes installer from here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the file on your desktop and run it from there.
    I would clear your temporary Internet files and restart your PC before doing this.
    If that doesn't work, maybe running the installer from your browser would work, although saving the file is usually best.
    I have one report that a problem with a router causes this problem and that replacing the router fixed it, but in this case all downloads were affected.
    It would be interesting to see if you can install the standalone Quicktime as a test. You can download it from here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    You want the version without iTunes, which is not the default.

  • PLEASE HELP THIS IS SERIOUS

    i wanted to format my whole mac, so i erased the disk in extended (journaled) and it all went ok... then i was going to re-install the os x it worked fine, but i have not bought the mountain lion since a guy was the one that updated my mac. so i bought it in the apple store (20 bucks), like 2 months later i get my mac to re install the os x and when i hitted the first continue sign it said: to download and restore os x, your computer's eligibility will be with apple. so i hit ok... last time i clicked ok and it all went fine but after i bought the os x i clicked in continue and it said an error occured while preparing the installation. try running this application again. i waited for one day... i restarted the computer several times, and stilll didnt work. i also cannot unmmount the disk. i can unmaunt the one benief the original but not the original please help.
    i also cant go back to the desktop and i cant download any types of program because it wont accept it i am stuck in like kind of safe mode i guess? please help

    Check that the date and time are correct. If they are, follow the instructions linked below to reset the NVRAM:
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    If the installation still fails, boot in safe mode and try again.

  • Please help this is driving me nuts!!

    I have the 8320 with os 4.5 and have only had it for a few days,I am trying to download app world but I can't. It wont let me download to desktop,it says;downloads via USB are not enabled for this product and when I try and download it through my blackberry browser it says my device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support blackberry app world.??? I don't no what to do,please help.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    The second symptom you describe is the most telling -- see this page:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_system_requirements
    Make sure you fully meet all requirements -- you might have to contact your carrier to be sure since one of the requirements involves them. I suggest contacting them and asking them very specifically if your current service plan allows you access to AppWorld.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Please help! ipod nano wont work at all!

    Please Help! my ipod nano has decided to stop working altogether - will not switch on or connect to computer. have tried to reset it several times but it wont work!
    any ideas much appreciated - it worked an hour ago and i only got it this morning!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Congrats, for your nano! Not for its problems, I mean!
    About your iPod's problem:
    First, make sure the "hold" switch isn't on. The hold switch is located on the top of your iPod. If it's orange, then that means it's on. If it's grey, it's not on. Switch it off (grey) if it was on (orange).
    If that wasn't the problem, let's make sure your iPod is even charged enough. Hook your iPod into the computer using the USB cord to the computer (that also charges the iPod), leave it there for 10 minutes, and see if it comes alive.
    Presuming that your iPod won't charge or wake up to your computer charger, if you have a wall charger for your iPod (that's different than the cord for the computer charger), hook it up, leave it there for 10 minutes, and see what happens.
    Thes suggestions should work for your iPod. It's most likely something pretty simple.
    Post back if this helped or not, I hope it did. Good day!

  • Please help me my ipod wont work! D:

    I need serious help D:! ok so i have succesfully synced music onto my ipod b4 but i wanted more songs so i was syncing music onto my ipod touch once again and once the sync was almost finished it said something about an error and then when i unplugged my ipod all of my songs that i had 1st put on my ipod were gone D:! after that my ipod stopped showing up on itunes on one of my computers so i switched to the other and it started doing the same thing. i came on here and was told it might be because itunes wasnt up to date so i updated itunes and my ipod but after the update, during the time when it was backing up software i think, another error popped up and said something about how the session had timed out, my internet connection is fine to so it wasnt that. after that another error popped up saying i needed to restore my ipod back to its factory settings and i said ok but another error always pops up saying the sesion timed out of something! now my ipod is like it was when i first got it! the screen shows the end of a usb cord pointed at the itunes sign! ive tried turning it off but it wont work! and when i try to hook it up to itunes on either off my computers it doesnt show up in itunes and a message from windows pops up and says "Found new hardware: Windows needs to install driver software for your apple mobile device (Recovery mode)" please help me i cant even do anything at all with my ipod right now! D:

    The Internet provider might have too many people using the Internet than what the particular servers are setup for. Or your computer just needs to reset. Try restarting your computer. Also do a hard reset on the iPod. Hold the power button and wake button down until you see the apple logo come on. Let go. Then let the ipod finish bopting up . Then restore your iPod as a new iPod, NOT from the backup.

    Thank you in advance.
