Please help with ejecting disk from MBP that won't book

I was in the middle of installing a Leopard update when my MBP froze.
Since I had to tunr it off, it now won't start up.
I tried a friends OSX install disk to get it working and it won't install.
Please help me eject the disk.
No matter what I do I cannot get it out.
IS there a Terminal prompt to eject it.
The install disks won't allow the command under disk utilities because it is starting up with that disk.
PLease help.

hold down the trackpad button while rebooting the computer

  • Help with Ejecting disk after bad update

    My MBP froze during an update and it won't start up.
    All I have is a friends install disk with me and that will get me to Terminal.
    I can't get the disk to eject since it is the startup disk.
    PLease help!!

    Do an Archive and Install on your internal hard drive so that you can boot to your internal drive (what is the purpose of getting the disk out if you can't boot!). After you install Leopard (remember to check preserve user settings!), you can eject the startup disk. Archive and Install only changes the system folder, so your applications, documents, music, movies, settings, desktop background, etc. will not change. Remember to run Software Update and install all of the updates. My advice is to not have any other applications open. Hopefully, everything installs correctly and your problem is gone.

  • Please help with Printer problem on MBP

    I am running 10.5.1 and am trying to install the software to enable me to scan. I have tried from the original CD, but it doesn't work (i assume this is because it was meant for 10.4). I have also tried downloading from the website but the download always says something like "19mb out of ?" and then eventually the downloads errors out.
    Is there any way i can get the scanner to work? can anyone upload this software to me? I know its a lot to ask but im not sure what to do.

    Don't know what to tell you, but I downloaded the file without any problem. Do you have enough space on your drive for the file? You may have a problem on your drive so you might consider doing the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger and Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Hello to all! Please help with the question from China!!!Thanks a lot!

    I am a real beginner on Java studing and I try to learn this all by myself.I had read some books translated from English format.But I dont think they were translated good enough.Sometime the meaning translated from English is totally different from what the Author want to express.So can you help to recommend some good English books for the beginner.I want to get start my studing on these books.Thanks in advance.

    I used Thinking in Java 2 by Horton. I see there's an upcoming edition covering the new version 5 of Java,
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764568744/qid=1103190687/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-0972736-0816625?v=glance&s=books
    In addition to the above I also bought The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others. It's not a tutorial. Instead it offers much in-depth information on why things are the way the are in Java. I didn't use much at first and found it quite impenetrable, but now I use it all the time especially when answering so called "I have a doubt" questions at this forum. -:) I think any serious Java developer should have a copy but not necessarily when starting out. The Horton tome will keep you busy for a while. And don't forget the on-line tutorials. If find the Swing tutorial especially valuable.

  • HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

    I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

    If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.

  • Please help with slideshow problems!

    Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing.  Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened".  How can I save a
    slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow?  I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
    have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not.  Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
    question?  I am trying to add audio to slideshow.  I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
    message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message.  What type of file do I need and how can I add
    multiple songs to one slideshow.   I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
    it fills slide show. 
    Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

    Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
    You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
    Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
    You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
    If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
    -- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
    -- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
    -- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
    It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing.  Save each Project with a unique name.
    After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
    Note:  you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.
