Remote disc in finder devices - can't remove it

I have a "remote disc" item in my finder under devices and cannot eject or remove.
iMac, OS X Version 10.6.7
Background: I have 2 very old Compact Flash USB card readers (Intelliflash and ImageMate) and several Compact Flash cards that I wanted to view before trashing.
The remote disc showed up after plugging these in to my iMac. Could not access the cards and now I can't remove the remoted disc.
I have tried to use the Finder>Preferences>Sidebar to remove, but the remote disk is not included in the list (see screenshot below).
This doesn't seem to be causing any harm, just annoying...
Any suggestions would much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chet

HT5287 What if I don't see the Remote Disc under the DEVICES??

I'm trying to get a music cd onto my iMac, using my macbook pro disc drive per these directions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287
But, What if I don't see the Remote Disc under the DEVICES??

That is all checked on both computers. I just don't know why I can't figure this out!

Hi, I have just downloaded Lion, and my AverTV Volar M will not work, just come up can not find device can anybody help please.

Contact the manufacturer's tech support for help. Most likely it needs a compatible driver.

Can't find so can't remove mystery streak on curves adjustment layer

Take a look at the attached image. I'm working with a psd file someone gave me. There's a weird bluish streak on the top one that I'm trying to get rid of. You'll notice it's on a curves adjustment layer. At least I assume it is. I made that layer red in the layers palette. When I turn it off, the blue streak goes away (see bottom image). I want the curves adjustment... just not the blue streak. I can't figure out how to get rid of it! It's definitely part of that layer... but I can't "find" it. I can't get rid of it by filling the adjustment layer with black or white. I can't select it. I can't do anything other than turn off that layer! Any ideas? I'm not sure it's a streak. It may be something is erased? But again, I can't select it so I can't fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!

How about the mask that's on the group?
This is the kind of thing that's very difficult to diagnose without having the PSD file to look over.

Remote Disc does not show up.

I am trying to upgrade to snow leopard for my Macbook. (Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 1 GB Ram, Mac OS X version 10.5.8). However the problem is that my dvd drive is busted. So What I would like to do is to remote install from my iMac computer. (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz, 3 GB Ram, Mac OS X version 10.6.7).
Now I have completed the following steps:
1. Turned on DVD and CD sharing for both computers, Firewire is turned off and green light is on.
2. Both are connected the same wireless network using Airport.
3. Inserted Snow Leopard in the iMac and ran Remote Install Mac OS X.
Now, the next step is to go to the Macbook and look for remote disc in finder under devices. However, Remote disc does not show up.
Is there something I'm missing? Both computers are up to date so I don't understand what the problem is.

I have the same issue (with a 2011 iMac) but I can see the data in the shared folder list if I browse through the Shared remote Server. A bit strange (because I cannot unmount it unless I VNC into the remote system)

Faulty optical drive in mini mac, unable to use remote disc

Hi,
I have a Mac mini (Late 2009) running OS X Yosemite. The optical drive in the mini is no longer able to read CD's or DVD's
We need install adobe suite 6 and this is on DVD. We have tried to access 'remote disc' in finder but have hit a closed door.
Seems according to this article: Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support
"You can't use a shared disc
If your Mac already has a built-in optical drive, or an external optical drive connected, you won't see the Remote Disc feature appear in the Finder or other apps."
So does anyone have any idea how I'm supposed to move forward in this scenario?
seems a little restrictive to make 'remote disc' disappear if you have an optical drive...
I have no interest in getting the mini repaired, especially when the technology already exists to do otherwise.
Very very stuck so would appreciate any suggestions.
thanks

- Connect an external optical drive via USB or FireWire (FW)
- If yo have another Mac with FW and optical drive boot the other Mac in Target Disk Mode and connect the two via FW. Your Mini can then access the internal drive on the other Mac
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
Remove.disconnect the faulty optical drive from the Mini. For how see:

It is not that hard. The optical drive in my late 2009 Mini failed about two years ago and I replaced it with a SSD.

How can I remove a tablet device that isn't there?

In one of our test environments we've got an Xserve running OSX 10.5.6, inside is running Server 10.5 in VMWare Fusion.
Now, the VM thinks it has a tablet device installed, as is evidenced by the ink tab showing up in system preferences (the host does not have the ink option there). Obviously there is no tablet device installed. The VM was set up by one of our IT guys who has already reinstalled it, noting no options during setup about a tablet device.
This problem is causing one piece of software to not work in the VM, or at least, the UI doesn't. There are thousands of console messages reading "QCocoaView handleTabletEvent: This tablet device is unknown (received no proximity event for it). Discarding event"
Question is, how can I remove the tablet device so that this software will start working? I've checked all through VMWare Fusion's options/preferences & couldn't find anything there and Googling has turned up nothing so far.

If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it.

How can I remove a Input device from my Mac?

Hello, I would like to know how I can remove a input device from the Sound area in System Preferences. I installed Wiretap Anywhere a sound input program for my Mac and did not realize It was not supported for Moutain Lion. I put the application in the trash and then emptied the trash can. Now whenever I try to start GarageBand or a program like that it crashes my computer. In the Input tab of Sound (System Preferences) It is listed as Wiretap: System Audio.
I would like to remove this from the Input tab so I can use my Mac reguarly. Any Ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Justin

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

my apple ID "cannot by used to unlock this iPod" I have the newest version of iTunes, and can't

The link I provided included:

Contact them and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
