I can't put a disc into my optical drive.

Hello

I have a Macbook 2010 Pro and over the past 6 years, I have rarely used the optical drive. Recently, I tried to put in a disk but it wouldn't even go.  I have no idea why this would be.

Any help or advice appreciated!

Concerning

You have a hardware problem.  Are you sure that there is nothing inside the DVD player?  If you are energetic, open the MBP, remove the disc and open it.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  It is possible that the player has not.

Ciao.

  • Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?

    Can you put a 500 g SATA hard drive in Pavilion a750w?  The bios is version v3.26, and the operating system is XP with SP3.  40 gig HD is full and you are looking to replace it but do not know what the size limit is with this bios version.

    Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion a705w desktop. This is based on the assumption that you converted the 5 and 0 and the fact that you mentioned a 40 GB hard drive.

    You already have the most current version of the BIOS of your computer and running the most recent service pack of Windows XP. Your computer and the operating system should support a drive of 500 GB without problem. The only problem is that your computer isn't any SATA ports, only 66/100 IDE (PATA). Look at local retailers and online for the IDE drives.

  • can I install an SSD on an optical drive in a HP Envy Phoenix

    I just bought a custom HP ENVY Phoenix Desktop - 810-350se CTO with a Raid 5 (3 x 2 TB) configuration, but I noticed and did some research it seems that it's better to have an SSD installed for faster computer access data, of course, I want to use for the operating system installed on it.  So I have two questions?

    (1.) I can change the configuration so that I can add a SSD on an optical drive? (This will be the 4th disc). Since I already use 3 HARD drive on a Raid 5 configuration and there is no more space on the left, I guess I can only use an empty space of optical drive and install a SSD?

    2.) is there a limitation on the number of readers and HARD disk can be installed on the motherboard?

    My proposed solution is to keep the 3 HARD drive and install a 4th disk (SSD) on the optical drive and use it to the operating system (Windows 8.1).

    Recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    4 TB 7200 RPM SATA 6 G RAID Hard Drive

    Hello

    Your PC is already using a bootloader of Windows 8 and if you load the SSD in UEFI mode, then you will add an another boot loader of Windows 8 for the menu eligible boot device.  This will lead to confusion.  I suggest that you avoid this situation by trying the following procedure:

    1. Don't forget to create the external HP recovery media
    2. Install the SSD on port 1 or 2
    3. Disable startup secure in the BIOS and set the legacy mode
    4. Start the Intel OPROM and rebuild the matrix RAID 5
    5. Boot into the BIOS and UEFI mode
    6. Start the external HP recovery media and load the SSD drive (SSD recommended size is 240 GB or more)
    7. Once you are currently running and then go to disk management and upward and format the matrix RAID like TPG

    The above procedure may or may not work, but that's what I would first try.

  • How to remove the disc from the optical drive

    Had to change hard drive on MacBook Pro - had tried to use Drive Genius to fix an old - not good - now have a new HD in there with no OS - now have a disc in the drive I can not eject so I can load OSX of a disc and eith no OS can not download oe ElCapitan Yosemite. How can I get this drive?

    It doesn't have an operating system to work, just the firmware. If he tries always to start (for example, the startup chime), turn the power off, press and hold the trackpad in the down position, then press the power switch. That force - eject anything in the optical drive.

  • Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external USB optical drive

    Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)

    I just did this to install Windows 10 from a DVD on a tablet of 10 Latitude by following these steps:
    (Note: my version of BIOS is A08)

    1. turn off the 10 latitude power.
    2. attach a USB hub to the USB slot unique on the side of the tablet.
    3. fix a keyboard and an external USB CD drive to the USB hub.
    4. now press the button down on the side of the Tablet and simultaneously press the power button for 5 seconds (until see you the screen light up, but will be weak against black unlit).
    5. When you see the Dell logo, start typing on the F12 key (the lower right corner shows the option press the F12 key to choose single startup options)
    6. now start choosing appear with many options to choose from, including my CD/DVD drive.

  • can I put a disc more into my imac 2009?

    My wife has an iMac (2009) vintage with a hard drive internal 640 G which is fill to the top. She wondered if it can replace it with a larger drive, and if it is not a useful expenditure. (The computer plays very well this time, incidentally.)

    Any recommendations welcome!

    Thank you

    Ray

    Yes, you can, if it is quite difficult to replace HARD drive in iMac by yourself. You must order the replacement to the service provider.

    Why not connect the external HARD drive and use it as data such as images and music player?

  • How can I put some resources into a separate cod?

    I've seen it mentioned a few times and I REALLY need to know this.

    How can I place my resources in a different cod, updated? (I need to read text-only configuration files that control the functionality of the application).

    I created a 'appNameres.cod' file (contains configuration text files), and it is installed on the phone.

    He also appears in the 'modules' announcement on the device (listed as "appNameres").

    However, when I use

    String filename = new String("cod://appNameres/appconfig.cfg");
    InputStream is = file.getClass().getResourceAsStream(file);
    

    It does not find the file I need.

    Can someone help me?

    Something like:

    class Res
    {
         public static InputStream getResourceStream(String file)
         {
              return Res.class.getResourceAsStream(file);
         }
    }
    

    Just make sure that you are using a class in the COD file so it search resources in the COD file.

  • Can I put the 80 GB of HARD drive in an Apple MacBook A1181

    Hi people

    I have the opportunity of buying one handed to nine computer 80 GB Apple MacBook A1181 laptop at a very good price (to replace a broken ASUS eee PC if someone asks why).

    In the MacBook HARD drive is 80 GB.  It is (apparently) running Mac OS x 10.7 Lion

    It's an easy task to do the following:

    (a) replace the 80 GB HARD drive with a larger - eg 500 GB

    (b) install Windows 7 (running under Bootcamp)?

    (c) install Microsoft Office 2010 (for Windows) - I have the installation discs

    If so, can someone explain HOW (knowing that I'm a Windows user in the long run, but did not use the MacBook/Macs)

    Also, if the battery does not charge, it's (relatively) easy to replace work or not?

    Thanks in advance (and Happy New Year)

    RB

    Yes, it's a relatively easy job to do, but it is worth to upgrade a macbook from 2007? It's a very old machine and it may not last that long. I would not recommend it.

    However.

    It is easy to replace the hard drive. https://www.iFixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+Duo+hard+drive+replacement/282

    Installation of bootcamp is also pretty simple before installation of Windows 7 and previous versions on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support (Please note that you will need a 32-bit version of windows 7)

    Battery can be changed easy super. You only need a coin to do.

    still more mac differs from windows because it is more pre-defined and settings are located a little differently. Also, everything you do with control is now in the order (so cmd + C and cmd + V).

    Conclusion: Yes, you can use the macbook that you could buy, but you must consider the costs of the upgrade (you will most likely need more RAM to run any programs so our) and how long you plan to use this laptop.

    See you soon!

    Other formats, CD - R, CD - RW, DVD - R and DVD - RW seem to work well.

    I have to reboot the machine to get the disc back and everything by restarting in this State, W7 is suspended in the shutdown process and I have to force a shutdown with the power button (I had no stop blocking otherwise).
