Problem with superdrive which ill not eject a cd

Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Serial Number  W8003MAJ5PC
Software  OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
The superdrive will not eject a c.d. I have tried the holsing the eject key on start-up trick and several others but to no avail.
I also know that this is a common problem on iMacs and Mac Books so I was wondering if anybody has come up with a solution to the problem.
Incidentally, the drive was used on fewer than 10 occasions when it malfunctioned.

If you haven't tried already:
Restart the computer while holding down the click button on the mouse.
Open Disk Utility and if it shows up there you might be able to force eject.

    Who else has a problem with parental controls enabled not being able to run Firefox on the Mac? (Any solutions?) (BTW. Chrome doesn't work either)

    Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
    Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
    Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:
    http://www.google.com.au/ig/directory?hl=en&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_news_technology.xml
    Which if you enter the last part of the url reports that
    "<Content type="html">
    This is a builtin module, so the UserPrefs and Content are ignored."
    Any ideas?

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to ITouch or Nano (6th Gen). All the music does not appear and the playlists do not appear at all. I have selected to manually manage music on the sum tab

    I have iTunes ver 10 on a PC with Playlists which do not sync to an Itouch or Nano (6th Gen). Also, all the music does not appear when I check entire library and there is enough memory on the device. When I select to manually manage music on the summary tab and selected playlists on the music tab nothing changes. Either way all the music isn't on either device and the playlists are not on either device. Please advise next steps. Thank you.

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

  • SOLMAN 7.0 problem with Stack16-question on note#1231975

    SOLMAN 7.0 problem with Stack16-question on note#1231975    
    I'm importing Stacks 16&17 into our Solution Manager 7.0 system
    and getting errors when importing the Java part in JSPM after the ABAP
    went in with no errors. The error matches OSS note 1231975 but we are
    having problems understanding what this note is advising to fix the
    issue. "SAPJTECHS SP16 component needs to be applied before proceeding
    with the whole SP16 stack. It should fix the usages on the systems
    fixing missing rows at BC_SL_PARTS table." Each time we start JSPM it
    gives the errors mentioned in this note. How are we to import
    SAPJTECHS before the rest of the Java Support Packs if we can't get
    JSPM to come up due to this error? About half of the Java Support
    Packs were imported before this error occured.

    You can deploy that component manually using SDM (instead of JSPM).

    CD package has license number stripped from Apple. How do I get the license number

    This is not a Mac/Apple issue.  You need to contact the seller and ask where the Windows XP product key is.

  • Is anyone having problems with the stock widget not updating?

    Is anyone having problems with the stock widget not updating?

    Widgets unfortunately have gone by the wayside since Apple introduced the App Store a couple years ago.  No widget has received any official recognition in the Apple listing of Widgets since that time.  So it is entirely possible the widget has gotten redirected.   There are many other Apps for stocks.  I personally like the Nasdaq Quote website since it knows mutual funds and other markets as well.

  • Has anyone had a problem with the spotlight search not working sometimes?

    Has anyone had a problem with their "spotlight search" not working? If I restart the phone it will work for a few days then not work again.

    It's more likely the OP's router.  I have a wifi only iPad 2, yet location services work just fine on my iPad.  If I open maps, my location is found quite nicely.  I have seen that some routers do not provide location services and I suspect the OP has such a router.

  • I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac

    I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my IMac but works absolutely fine on my Iphone 5. Can anyone help with the setup for iMac. I am with BT for my Broadband. I am cionverned if I route my Hotmail accoutn to GMail will iy stop working on my Ipone.

    How are you accessing Hotmail?  Via your web browser?  Are you using Apple Mail?  Outlook?
    The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
    If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
    The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
    Incoming server: pop3.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    POP port: 995
    Use SSL to connect : yes
    The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
    Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
    User name: Your full Hotmail email address
    Password: Your Hotmail password
    SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
    Use SSL to connect : yes
