Windows 8.1 64bit ,eject button not working

I have an imac and have installed windows 8.1 64 bit and everything works well except my eject button on my apple keyboard. so now I cant intall any programs from disk. also my apple super drive isn't showing up omn 'my computer ' in windows
im pretty sure I installed the needed newest drivers...so what am I missing?

On your Bootcamp drivers there should be a driver named AppleODDInstaller64.exe which is the Optical Disk Drive installer. You can copy this to the a USB and install it on the Windows side for it to recognize the Optical disk and the eject button should work. You are also going to need AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe for the keyboard to be recognized.
There is also a mechanism to eject the disk using OSX terminal and using diskutil eject on the OSX side. See man diskutil for the OSX side.
eject device
                Eject a disk. Media will become offline for the purposes of being a data store for file systems or being a member of constructs such
                as software RAID or direct data. Additionally, removable media will become eligible for safe manual removal; automatically-removable
                media will begin its physical (motorized) eject sequence.

Remote control and eject button not working?

Hey.
Not too much to explain - my remote control does not work at all, and neither does my cd eject button on the keypad. This is after the installation of Leopard.
I've tried to search for the issue but only find people complaining about the new Front Row design or how they cannot eject volumes at all. (Which is not my case)
Has some people had this error and fixed it?
Thanks in advance.

The remote control could be because I deactivated my IR receiver
That leaves my eject button.

Clock will not display, Eject button not working

Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Ryan,
I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

Eject button not working on dvd/cd tray

You name it, I've tried it! Apples advice was to backup my work and wipe the dripe and reinstall the OS. Guess what - the eject button still doesn't work! Well done apple. That'll be 2 days wasted of precious production time.
All this after a new power supply and logic board being installed by the apple store in birmingham because the mac had no power going to it. (6 week old MacPro 2.66) Yet the eject button worked fine when it came back from repair.
Has anybody got and realistic ideas as to why the eject button doesn't work.
I can manually eject the tray and also when using toast I can eject the tray - its just in the OS that its not working. I hav tried dropping a link to the eject button on the customize menu but the icon is just greyed out.
I have even dropped in a brand new cd/dvd drive from another mac still with the same result.

Right - the story is concluded - Finally!!!! Apparently when the technician removed the optical drive unit whilst fitting the new power supply and logic board he didn't fit the cables back into the right places on the drive!!!
But at least now its fixed and I can get back on with some work.

Eject Button Not Working

When i press the eject button, the cd or disc inside my macbook pro does not come out, so instead i have to drag the disc to the eject icon, which is really annoying, this is not a new problem to me, but it has gotten to me, so please if anyone has any answers please help!

All I can think of is that somehow you've mapped the Eject key to another function, have you installed any utilities that allow you to change how the Function keys work ?

MSI ge60 onc-293xcz - screen off button and eject button not working

Hello,
I have recently bought the above mentioned device and I have a problem with 2 buttons which are between speakers as they are inactive.
Could you please advise if there is any driver update which actually brings them back to life?
Another thing is Turbo button - I read that this model does not support overclocking mode which is probably the reason why this button cannot be used manually and it turns on and off only when the system needs.
Thank you for your replies

do you have SCM installed? [or SBAR]
what OS you're running?

thanks for your reply but I need more specific operation.
maybe I am not very clear about the problem one. I mean when I run the code in standard mode, if I click the browse button, a window will pop out and I can choose a video file from my local harddisk. but if I run it in "web start execution" mode and "run in browser" mode. the browse button make no response when I click it.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Help button not working on firefox.How to fix?

help button not working.

Hello,
Lets give Firefox some Tuneup.
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Mouse to switch primary and seconds buttons not working on Forms 6i

Hi All,
I am facing problem while i am using Form6i Application on web.
We have a couple users that they are left hand. When they set their mouse to switch primary and seconds buttons under windows setup.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Craig and thanks for replying,
The way I created the roll was under my username, not the administrator user. The first time I was not able to create a roll from my user, but I did this to be able to do it: GRANT CREATE ROLL TO <MY USERNAME>
The way I enabled the the Roles on y menu was as follows:
1) I open menu using Forms 6i.
2) Right click on my menu name and choose Property Palette.
3) Under Menu Security, I choose Use Security and select "Yes".
4) Under Module Roles, I typed a name for that role.
5) I go to SQL and create the new Role under my username giving the role the same name I gave it on Forms. This is how I created: Create role <Role Name>
6) Then I just assign that role to my user, like this: Grant <Rolename> to <username>
Hope this helps!!
Thanks again in advance!!

Backup and restore buttons not working

Hi,
Any button in my backup and restore centre with a shield next to it (for UAC) is not working. Identical to this thread:

A fair way down that page, Lokesh replies but I don't have any of the software that he mentions in his post. Is anyone able to help?

Hi,
According to the Lokesh's reply, this problem is probably caused by 3rd plugin in Windows Explorer Shell. UAC dialog couldn't be prompt correctly.
To resolve this problem, you can try to use ShellExViewer instead to make troubleshoot, please follow the content of the link below for more details:

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 windows 7 - 64 bit. only key not working

Windows key inoperative dv7-4285 Windows 7 - 64 bit. The Windows key is the only key not working.

Thanks for the information,
I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue. My first suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the keyboard.
Follow these steps to do that:
Click the "Start Menu"
Type "Device" in the search box under all programs
Select "Device Manager"
Click "Keyboards"
Remove all devices under keyboards by right clicking and selecting" uninstall" on each device
Restart the computer
How long has the button not been working?
Are there any other keys not working or producing the wrong character?

Windows Key and left or right arrow do nothing. I have all the latest drivers and also Windows 8.1 updates installed. Anybody has a idea would could that be ?

Swiping left to right or right to left should work if you're in the right place.
For example, try it in Music > Songs (button in lower right).

IPhone button not working

My iPhone4 home button not working. Pressing the home and on/off button together does not bring up a dark screen with the apple logo. I have a laptop with window's 7 - ITunes not working and the apple website's download button not responding.
I am due an upgrade soon and was considering an iPhone again, but this inconvenience of not working and the trouble of accessing the software is giving me second thoughts of going for an iPhone again.

Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Toggle On
This feature can act as most of the iPhone buttons. Home or Sleep/Wake etc. It would help us if we knew which buttons your talking about.
Hope that helps
