'Safe'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
if it isn't ejecting, you might try shutting down the computer and see if you can eject normally after restart.
What Tommyrot said - I'm wondering if there's an option that doesn't include restarting so I don't have to interrupt my upload (which still has another 45 minutes to go).
If you go to Force Quit → Finder → Relaunch, it would probably free up the DVD drive, but I would advise against doing that since it could interfere with the upload in your other window.
Jessica,
I'm sorry I didn't catch that. Can you wait until your upload is done?
Does Starbucks (or whatever WiFi/internet company they use) still charge $6 per hour of WiFi?
I think that you can get the first two hours free with a purchase.
I hadn't heard that. That makes me more likely to go there. Especially since I have an iPod touch now - I don't even need to bring a laptop....
you have to buy a starbuck's gift card and register it. if you make a purchase every 30 days or so using the gift card, you can have 2 hours of access per day.
Free if you have T-Mobile.
I am getting a blank display on my 2nd gen Nano. It still plays, but I can't see to navigate. Googling tells me it's a common problem, but there doesn't seem to be a solution, and different websites say it's a firmware probelm, others say it's a bad display.
Here's the thing, when I turn it on after being asleep for a while, or after connecting with iTunes, I am guaranteed a white screen. If I let it play for a while, like an hour or so, without playing with the click wheel, the menu comes back, but there's no guarantee that the menu will be there the next time I turn it on.
Rebooting and restoring haven't helped at all.
I guess I'm trying to figure out the root of the problem. Do it sound like a loose connection? Or some wonky operating problem? I was leaning toward loose connection, but I just got the screen back after letting play while sitting flat on my desk for an hour, and I don't see why letting it play while still would help with a loose connection. I am confused and frustrated and wanting to vent more than anything.
