If it is repeatedly beeping it sounds like a memory issue. you should try removing your memory one stick at a time and attempting to reboot.(remove one try to start, replace, remove other try to start). If it doesn't work with either stick try using a "known to be good" or new stick of memory and see if it starts. Here is a link explaining how to remove and change/upgrade your memory. Very simple really, involves removing the battery and removing a plate with three screws in it.

How to eject a cd

A few ways of doing this

1) restart mac and press down the trackpad button after you hear the startup noise

2) if that does not work try opening up disk utility which is located in applications and then in the utilities folder and click on the icon of your disk under the left hand column then go up to eject button and click eject

3) or open up terminal found in the utilities folder within your applications folder and then type in
drutil tray eject and then press return

4) Finally what to do is try pick up your macbook tilt the
macbook to the one side and press the eject key and hopefully the effect of gravity will allow the CD to fall out.
However, I would say that DVDicon1.png drives in all macs are a bit suspect and if your macbook is still under warranty or under AppleCare take it back to the Apple Store and tell them that the DVD drive is faulty and they should replace it free off charge. Hope this helps.

Sound is only active, when headphones are pluged in

Jacob I usually find using a free application called soundsource available at http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11334/soundsource gives you all the available options for input and output options. Once downloaded instal it into your applications folder and open it up, it will appear in your menu bar as a headphone icon. Click on the icon and you will see what options you have. Hope this helps.

When i try to start the webcam application a message pops up saying that the webcam initialization failed. please check your camera device and restart application or computer

Hi, Did you try restarting your computer? It may be that something is blocking the application such as firewall or anti-virus. etc... If you are computer savy look in to firewall settings. Then restart and try webcam again. Good luck.

My macbook pro desktop icons are gone! and the spinning wheel keeps going. Any ideas

Your hard drive might be failing.
If you have the original install discs that came with your computer, insert disc 1 into your computer. Then turn off your computer and then turn it back on again while holding down the Option (alt) key and double click on the CD icon that pops up. Then when the computer boots from the DVD, click on Utilities and the open up the Disk Utility application. Run "Repair Disk" with your internal hard-drive selected. If this program cannot fix your problem, you may need to invest in purchasing a new hard drive and replacing the one in your computer.

My macbook air cannot preview anything by its Preview application. i cannot open iphoto. when i start, if i open Macintosh HD or any other folder on Desktop then I cannot open system preferences and vice...

I would start by attempting too restart. If this does not fix it, open Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility). From here click verify permissions and then verify disk. If either of those come up with errors, then click the corresponding solution (repair permissions or repair disk). This should solve any problems you are having, but if it does not, Insert the USB drive that your MacBook Air came with and reinstall the OS. Good Luck!

My macbook air says to restart but everytime i do it turns on and says to restart again.

Your OS may need to be restored. Do you still have your original install CD? There are detailed instructions on how to do the restore online. Here is an Macbook Repair Guide that shows how to open a Macbook. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to Macbook Repair.
