stuck

Hi... I am hoping someone can help me so I don't look like a total moron. I am borrowing a G4 powerbook from work, i tried to put a CD in it... not thinking that the disk being PC might be a problem. I can hear it spinning when I restart, but nothing happens, no icon, it doesnt eject. There is...

Hello, I created my first menu last night with iDVD and set it going before bed. 10 hours later it is on Multiplexing & Burning (stage 4, apparently). It has been on this for over an hour that I have been watching. I can understand the encoding process taking hours, but not burning. What...

Aggghhhhh!!! I cannot type anything as it keeps bringing up commands, the button appears to be up but whenever i type an "O" for example a new window opens ect.... please help.

My Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz, running Panther with all updates, suddenly cannot get past the "Login Window Starting" screen during startup. Just before this happened, I had noticed the computer getting a little sluggish. I ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions, which seemed to go just fine. I...

Sorry to bother you with this, but as a very, very long time user of "tray-based" CDROM drive PCs, I never thought of checking what could happen with an iBook and a small form factor CD (mini-CD, as they also call them) ... that is untl today, when I pushhed one of those into my new iBook drive...

My disc drive all of a sudden has problems opening (I-Mac flat panel/DVD/CD-RW). It appears to be jammed. Not sure what caused this. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I had to get a new drive for the computer where would I go to buy one? I hope I don't have to send out my computer.

I cannot figure out what is going on, something is very very wrong with my G5 (software or hardware, I don't know). Right now, if I try and click one of my book mark drop downs in safari, the entire system will hang. I am running top in the background and when everything hangs, stuck...

Hi all, recently my G4 733 gets stuck just as it's about to finish start-up (the HD shows up on the desktop but launcher's window won't at the stuck point). Everything was fine until I downloaded a new driver for my Epson 1250 scanner and an update for MS Word 2000. Just before the MS download...

Howdy. Went to install 9.1 on my 8.1 iMac last night. Without thinking I popped in the 9.1 CD, booted the machine, and immediately initialized my hard disk. Lo and behold, my Rev. A iMac needs a firmware update. However, the hard drive is blank so I can't run the firmware updater...

What, exactly, is sticking a thread?

I have a standard-sized CD stuck inside the slot combo drive of my powerbook 12". It makes the sound of it trying to eject, but the CD doesn't come out. It then redetects it and spins up again. I haven't installed the update patch to the combo drive, and now it's too late. I'm currently...

I'm trying to decide which desktop computers I want. I was leaning more toward to the 1GHz eMac, but I'd like your guys' input on this. I'm just looking for the right computer to suit my internet and general needs, and of course I'm not a genius at computer stuffs. I was thinking maybe an iMac...

In the terminal, using top, I see that there is a "stuck" process. But top does not identify the state of any process, so I can't tell which one is stuck. So I try "ps aux" and get a very long list of items, but they are just active, sleeping, or zombie. None of the zombie items can be acted...

i just got T3 dvd from the mail today and i tried to watch it on my IMAC, but as soon as i put the dvd in, the computer does not respond and no matter how many times i press eject key, the cd won't come out. i even restarted the computer, but no luck. HOW WOULD I TAKE THE CD OUT? thank you

I have a stuck file on my desktop. Everytime I try to move to another folder or to the trash I get a message saying that its being used by another task! Its been like this for 3 days now! How do I get rid of this annoying problem??

I get to a point where I get that brain implant to control my psychic abilities, and my access to the Mission BBS is shut down, and I can't buy any nice ships. Then, what the heck do I do!? I don't have an active mission to tell me where to go to get a new mission, and I don't have a map...

My trash currently has a file I can't get rid of. It is in the Trash of an external Firewire drive. It's actually a Folder, not a file. Upon requesting a Trash emptying, it says that the file is "in use". The Folder is not in use, I have rebooted, etc. This "stuck" file was the result of a...

Hello, The battery compartment at the bottom of my G4 Powerbook is stuck. I can't move the slider to eject the battery. Any ideas how to get it out? I assume i've knocked it somehow. Also, over my time of having the 'book (this could be very much related) the bottom half of the casing has...

whenever i startup and hold down eject, nothing comes out, and i get a blank screen. what do i press to force the cd out of my powerbook? is it command click?

hi macheads, I was upgrading a powermac g4 with OS 9.0.4 to Mac OS X 10.2. It ran the install fine and when i booted up OS X, i found out that Classic wont work. Classic needs OS 9.2 or later. So i changed the startup disk while in OSX to the OS 9 System folder and booted up OS 9. Then i...
