Slot-loading CD drive on Macbook not showing up at all

Hey everyone. New problem for me. I was trying to load a cd for my mouse into my Macbook tonight and normally, the drive would pull it in after I insert it half-way or so. Well, it's not doing that. I can push the disc in all the way so that my finger is against the laptop, and it won't do a thing. I've had it for over a year and didn't have the Apple protection plan, so I'm stuck there. My one thought is that possibly, when a friend's son accidentally bumped the table my laptop was sitting on and that knocked over a glass of water, that some water may have affected the drive. The water hit the laptop from the back, where the screen hinges to the bottom. The computer boots up and shuts down just fine, but I just noticed the problem with the cd drive tonight. I did try rebooting twice and could not hear anything in the disc drive moving around. I do know that there is no cd/dvd in there.
When I go into System Profilere and click on Disc Burning under hardware, it says, "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly."
Anyone have any ideas? I really love my Mac and don't want to revert back to a PC.
This is the hardware overview for my Macbook:

Well, I tried both of the suggestions above - resetting the PRAM and also the SMC - to no avail. I'm wondering if perhaps in our travels last weekend if I maybe bumped it or something, and maybe something broke in the drive? Would that make it say that no burning device was found?
Also, if I do have to have it replaced, and I were to take it the nearest Apple Store (about 1.5 hours away) besides the gas, what might it cost since I don't have warrenty on it, nor the Apple plan?
Thanks again for the suggestions! Anything else I could try?

Help! My slot-loading drive will not take discs/d-drive not being read.

I have a Toshiba Satellite U505-S2975.
When I try to insert a disc into my slot-loading disc drive, the drive will not grip onto the cd and suck it in. Nothing happens at all. Also, I noticed that the d-drive was not showing up under my computer. Does anyone have any possible solutions to this problem?

I tried the solution and it didn't work also, I have windows 7.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

HT201737 how do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

How do you close a thumb drive that does not show in finder?

What do you mean by "Close?"
Eject??
If so, you could use Go to Computer to find it if it is not in the Sidebar or on the Desktop. Ctrl-click or Right-click on the drive and choose Eject <diskname>
Or, you could set it to show in the SideBar in the Finder Preferences, SideBar tab. Then, it would have an eject icon next to it in the Sidebar.

That message is listed in two scripts on the bank's site. One function that can display the message is named PhotoRotator and the other is named PromoRotator. However, I can't seem to trigger the error myself.

Depends on where you got it - if it came on yoru compujter then you need to have accepeted it in the App store - and it will be in your purchases when you log in with the Apple ID that you used to set up your computer - it mahy be hidden - if you do not find it unhide applications in teh App store

Accordion not showing up at all in IE6

I have a standard accordion set up at
www.taradeal.com/pow.html
and it works fine in Safari and Firefox, but does not show up at
all in IE6 (the initial load of the text bits flashes up, but the
Spry re-work of the code seem to fail). I'm using Spry 1.6.1,
freshly updated for DW CS3.
The accordion display a standard RSS XML.
Here's some code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
http-equiv="Content-Type">

type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets-SpryAccordion.js"

<script type="text/javascript">

<link href="SpryAssets-SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet"

...some more simple display, and a Google tracker
</body>

Thanks for any pointers on what's wrong.

Well, it seems to be a bug in the handling of the XML file
contents. I fixed it by changing the code in SpryData.js to force a
"manual" parse of the XML code. Not a good solution, but I don't
know the codebase well enough to find the root of the problem. I
know that the firstChild.nodeValue is "Object required" but I can't
figure out who sets that and why. Maybe no ActiveX object?
http://www.taradeal.com/pow2.html

uses changed code and dynamic-data accordion works
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.prototype.xhRequestProcessor =

var resp = xhRequest.responseXML;

HT4759 change do not show up on all my divices like contacts

change do not show up on all my divices like contacts

Are you saying that changes to your contacts are not syncing to your other devices? If so, you need to make sure that the contacts you are changing belong to the iCloud account. To do this, open the contacts app on your device and tap Groups. Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section). Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account.

Why is my website not showing up AT ALL in Google?

I uploaded my website at the beginning of this week and it's working OK, but not showing up at all in Google. It is not so much an SEO question, because even if I google the exact website, it still doesn't show.
I have no idea what I did wrong, but I assume it's a meta data issue. What should I have filled out in the HTML for <head> box? It's blank now.
Thanks!!!

You didn't do anything wrong most likely. It takes time to get indexed. Could be months depending on how your site is optimized, your content and traffic you generate to it.

Some Devices are not showing up at all in the Discovery reports

Hi all,
The first time I ran the CS device discovery I got 50 reachable devices. I scheduled the Device Discovery to be run every week. I added more subnets to the discovery but unfortunately the last discovery shows only 31 devices from the first discovered devices (50). I checked the DCR and there is only 44 devices out of the 50!
My question is:
Should not the scheduled Device Discovery discovers all devices -the previously discovered ones and the new ones-?
Why the rest of the devices are not showing up at all in the discovery reports (neither reachable nor unreachable) although all of them are pingable and responding to the snmpwalk tool from the CWLMS server.
Your kindly respond is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I ran the discovery again with the same settings after enabling debugging and I checked the following log files:
1. in the ngdiscovery.log I found a lot of errors all about Duplicate IpAddress example:
ERROR [DeviceManager : EvalTask-DiscoveryThreadPool-06 addNewDevice] : Duplicate IpAddress (127.0.0.51) found in addNewDevice().Device 1 ip = 10.8.113.29 , id1 = 127.0.0.51*F1COR.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283, Device 2 ip = 10.8.113.106 , id2 = 127.0.0.51*LCD.xyz.com*.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.283

2. in the CSDiscovery.log:
Error while changing the permission of the file C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\csdiscovery\1348\DiscoveryStatusObj
I checked the file and the casusers has a Modify permission
My Question is:
1. what is the meaning of those output exactly?
2. If CWLMS found duplicatedd IP address how it works in terms of (ignoring, updating existing devices, Adding the new devices, ... etc)
Many thanks for your help.

Have 2 airport extreme base stations connected in chain. Airport utility shows slave unit without power. However, power is on slave unit, but status lights do not show up at all. Small green lights at each back port blink. Anyone have any ideas?

Unfortunately, you are describing the symptoms of an AirPort Extreme with a failing (or failed) internal power supply.
As a last resort, try a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Power off the AirPort by pulling the power cord
Wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button first, and keep holding it in for an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort
Release the reset button and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Now try to configure the AirPort again. If you continue to see the same symptoms as before, the AirPort will need to be replaced.

Calculate result as average in the report not showing average for all

Hello,
I have a calculated key figure in the query where its result should show average. I have made a setting for this calculated key figure as:

2. Aggreagation tab: exception aggregation: Total and reference char: []
Now coming to report, BEX it showing correct average for all cells but when i run it in portal few values it is showing correct average but for few it is showing as blank. I exported this to excel then cell shows blank but cell has some values in the custom format and display values when i change the format to general from "format cells" option.
Please help me in resolving the issue- why portal not showing value for all.

The default wallpapers are not showing up. All I see is a black screen. How do I get back default wallpapers?

Hello,
I have a problem with my iPhone. The default wallpapers are not showing up. All I see is a black screen. Can someone tell me what has to be done?

Go to the Home screen with one press of the home button. Then double press the Home button. When the Dock raises, tap and hold one of the app icons untill they all start jiggling and a red X appears. Tap the red X on the video app to quit the app.

When I select a title or lower thirds and try to enter text by double clicking on it I cannot enter any text at all. Also the text area box does not show up at all where you can enter text also.

It's a bit hit and miss, Walter. Sometimes the box to enter text shows up straight away in the inspector under "text". Other times, although you click "text" in the inspector, there's nowhere to actually write anything.... then what you have to do is move the trackbar over the Title Box until you see the text boxes in the main Viewer. In the Viewer, double click a text box.... you can enter text there, but it's a bit flaky, but when you've clicked in it, you'll find that under "Text" in the inspector, the box for inputting text has magically appeared!
I'm not sure if anyone else has this trouble, but it is a bit of a pain!

MacBook not showing external hard drive connected to Air Port Extreme

I have a MacBook 5.2 running Mac OS X Version 10.5.7. I am running a wireless network Air Port Extreme router Version 7.4.2. I have connected a 1 TB Western Digital 10EAVS External hard drive and a printer to the Air Port Extreme router via a USB 2 hub. My MacBook sees and I am able to utilize the printer, but the Western Digital 1 TB External drive does not show up. I can see the 1 TB External drive via the Air Port Application setup, but it is not showing up on my desktop or in Utilities/Disk Utilities. I have connected the External drive directly to the USB port on my MacBook, and the drive showed up on my desktop instantly. I partitioned the External drive into two partitions and ran Time Machine which successfully backed up my MacBook. I then disconnected the External hard drive from my MacBook and reconnected it to another USB port in the hub connected to the Air Port Extreme. Once again, my MacBook does not see the External hard drive. I can see the External hard drive via the Air Port Extreme application right down to the two individual partitions. I even removed the USB hub and plugged the External hard drive directly into the Air Port Extreme router, but my MacBook still did not see the hard drive. I've restored version 7.4 and 7.4.1 on the Air Port Extreme, but it did not help. Does anyone have any insight what settings might need to be changed on my MacBook to allow it to connect to the External hard drive while it is plugged into the Air Port Extreme wireless router?

Do you have an older "dome" style AEBS or the rectangular model? The former will not work with TM. Early versions of the former may not work until you enable them to see a TM drive by doing the following:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command and press RETURN:
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
The drive should now be accessible via TM.
