Laptop User Question

[browngirl]

So, I'm playing with my iBook (G4), and I decide to burn a mix. I insert a blank CD, and iTunes stops responding. I force it to quit and reopen it, and it claims to not be able to find its cd burning files. I download iTunes from Apple, install it, restart, and try again, with the same result. Also, the CD is not showing up on the desktop, and I can't eject it.

So, what if anything can I do now, to avoid an expensive trip to the Galleria?

Okay, um, I have to ask this (because once I forgot I had one, lol), but do you have an eject button? Or is one of your F-keys configured to eject discs? If not, look for a teeny hole next to the CD slow - I know my old computer had one, and you could stick a teeny wire (I used an unbent paperclip) in, and it would trigger the eject mechanism.

Sorry you are having trouble with the CD burning - I don't know what to tell you on that, since you've already done the things I would have tried.

And that was supposed to be "CD slot," not "CD slow." And also I am going to use my computers-fuck-off icon now. I forgot I had it, lol.

I don't have a pinhole by my drive. *but*, I went forth and Googled, and it turns out that pressing the mouse button while restarting forced the drive to vomit forth the cd, which fixed the problem.

So your good wishes helped anyway. :D
