Why cant I put a dvd/cd into my macbook?

I cannot insert a disc into my Mac. There is nothing showing up to eject, but it feels like there is something in the drive. What shoudl I do?

Reboot it while holding the trackpad key to try and force-eject any disc that may be in there.

Please HELP!!!!

AFAIK, you can't author a DVD using iMovie - again, AFAIK, you need authoring software such as iDVD or Toast Titanium or something similar.

To make it display on the desktop, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks.
The drive might be formatted NTFS for Windows which is treated as read-only on the Mac. Need to reformat it using disk utility.

Why cant we put anything outside classes ?

i couldnt think about any other title,as i am getting more and more confused.
this is what i know :
an object is "something" which has got some functionality && exists in memory (thats why real-world).
why cant we create objects of "only" methods ?
to be exact,i cant understand why java needs to put everything in the class?
eg.
public static void main(String args[])
int i;
i=i+5;
this method should be able to form an object, it has got both data members, and it can call another function to modify the data.
why do we NECESSARILY need to put this in a class ?

josAH gave a valid point, but are there some others ?Old (current?) PHP is an example of what happens when you have a global namespace. Thousands upon thousands of functions with ugly names or stupid prefixes/suffixes ("real", "2", etc.). Static methods in a non-instantiable class are basically like creating namespaces for global methods.
It's also much easier to find functions that belong together grouped in a class.True, but if "global functions" had been allowed in Java, I bet you a doughnut they would have used package names as a name space, in exactly the same way this is done with classes and interfaces.
But again, idle speculation like this is a waste of time...

IBook G4 dvd drive into a MacBook Pro?

I have a 2006 model MacBook Pro with a faulty dvd drive. My kids use this machine to play games that require a dvd player. I do have 3-4 iBook G4s in the attic just gathering dust. Is it possible to remove the dvd drive from the iBook and put into the MacBook pro?
Has anyone tried it? Will it work?

What I mean by faulty is that it is dead. The optical drive will not pull in any CDs at all. It seems like something is blocking the drive, so there may be a mechanical part that just is not moving.
An external drive is an option, but I just like to have stuff working.
The iBok drive seems to be thicker, si it won't fit I think. But there's always eBay...

Why does Discoverer put my custom function into GROUP BY

To make things clear with simple example:
I have 10 id's from people (people.id) and sum function on their salary [sum(people.salary)] during a period of time that i set in my parameters.
The sql looks something like this:
SELECT PEOPLE.ID
,SUM(PEOPLE.SALARY)
FROM FRS_PEOPLE
WHERE [MY CONDITIONS]
GROUP BY PEOPLE.ID
I registered a function that uses people.id, and some other parameters to calculate something for each people.id!
I made a calculation:
MY_FUNCTION(people.id,'xxx','yyy')
,so my sql looks like this now:
SELECT PEOPLE.ID
,SUM(PEOPLE.SALARY)
,MY_FUNCTION(people.id,':xxx',':yyy')
FROM FRS_PEOPLE
WHERE [MY CONDITIONS]
GROUP BY PEOPLE.ID,MY_FUNCTION(people.id,':xxx',':yyy')
It runs but never finishes....?!
When i run my sql in sqlplus i do not put my function into group by, but discoverer does so, despite it already has people.id item in GROUP BY!
And if i put instead of people.id an actual id it works correctly and does not put my function into group by!
The sql i am looking for and works correctly is:
SELECT PEOPLE.ID
,SUM(PEOPLE.SALARY)
,MY_FUNCTION(people.id,'xxx','yyy')
FROM FRS_PEOPLE
WHERE [MY CONDITIONS]
GROUP BY PEOPLE.ID
Please someone help!
My select clause is much more complicated, with many outer joins so i made the above up just to explain to you what my problem is!
I hope i made my self clear!
Help would be very appreciated.

Hi,
I think there is a problem with your function. That fact that the report completes when an actual id is used must not when a people.id is used suggests that it works when the function is called once with an actual id but not when it is called many times with a people.id.
If the function is doing complex lookups and calculations to obtain a salary for each people.id then often this type of report will run quicker with the salary calculation is brought into the report SQL using joins etc.
Tracing the Discoverer session running the report will show you all the SQL processed by the database and the execution plans used. It will show you how often the function is being called and what SQL is being run by the function.

Why cant i copy/paste mps's into i-tunes folder?

i have a bunch of mp3's on my computer and i want to put them on my ipod.
i tried to copy the folders of the albums and paste them into the i-tunes folder with the rest of the albums that are on my ipod but the folders i past into itunes dont show up.
do i have to import the songs into itunes in order to get them to show up? this means i would have to burn a million cds and import them. there must be a better method.

If the songs are on your computer, just drag the folder the songs are in, into itunes windows, it should put all the songs onto your itunes, thus they will go onto your ipod when it updates.
Hope this helps

Why cant adobe put out anything without a bug?

I have had problems with anything adobe since I first owned a computer 15 yrs ago! I'm not saying i'm a computer expert but after 15 yrs I know just maybe a little! That said I'm wondering if these people who work at adobe are required to get stoned before coming to work! Something is going on there that seems to prevent the big brain from getting in the way of the little brain. In case you have never heard this comparison, if we can send a man to the moon then why in god's name cant adobe make a problem free program? problems downloading , problems freezing( ok well they did fix that problem!), problems not uninstalling previous versions( why th hell do i have to worry about this?), problems with flash player allowing me to play online games and causing my browser to freeze(I guess they havent fixed this one yet!), problems, problems problems! If I had a dollar for every hour I've spent trying to fix adobe problems on my computer I could retire on that instead of my union movie pension! All's I can say is there must be some good **** going around over there at adobe because their brains are made out of the same stuff as the name of the place where they work.

I don't know; I never had the slightest problem ever since I started using Adobe products some 17 years ago.
