    Okay, I bent the little thingy (looks like a pin bearing) that helps guide the tape. Now it is keeping the tape in, but I can't look at the images on previously recorded tapes (how I was testing it). I appriciate your time and effort - any more ideas?

    alright I have the same problem...I turn the camera on, and it works for a little bit, but then it starts beeping and says (32:21) and it tells me to eject the tape. So I ejected the tape and now the tape is stuck and wont go back in

The take up reels on these are weak. I take them apart and stretch the spring. the left side of the cassette housing can become bent down fairly easy. you should be able to gently bent it back up. the reel table is on the right side looking down into the mechanism, may also need cleaning.

    part I was asking you to straighten is part of the cassette holder. It does not look like a pin bearing. can you give me a better description. it's not a good idea to bend anything that is in the tape path, like guides.

How do I fix my VCR keeping auto eject and reject video tapes? please help me today
Bit difficult without knowing the model number and maker. But will try in general terms only to help.

A couple of causes come to mind. First there is some form of damage to the carriage that the tape fits in. Or something is inside the unit that should not be there. Applies especially if there are young people in your home!
Secondly a device called the mode switch has gone faulty. This tells the electronics what position the mechanism is in. If it is out of place due to some damage it can stay in eject mode. Some of them can get dirt in the works so giving a wrong reading.

The best thing you can do is remove the top cover and look at the carriage and mechanism carefully. It's generally the plastic parts that break causing trouble the most. Very easy to spot. If you can see anything like that it will need to be replaced.

I have a brand new tape adapter (for my iPod) that was working for weeks, but after I ejected it, it just keeps ejecting itself right when I try to put it back in. It will play just a tiny bit of the...
You might try flipping the adapter over the other way. If that doesn't work, you might want to try putting a cleaning tape in and clean the cassette heads. The tape player will sometimes eject a tape if it cannot read it very well. It assumes that the tape is damaged. Dirt on your heads can cause it to eject your adapter because it is having trouble reading the signal from the adapter.

Wont eject tape
This often points to rubber drive rollers that have glazed surfaces.
If possible, remove the housing and watch the mechanism while you try to eject the cartridge. You should be able to spot the trouble area. You can also then use gentle pressure on an exposed area of the tape cartridge to extract the tape.
If you can, use lighter fluid (naptha) and cotton swabs to scrub the offending rollers. Keep waaay clear of the tape head (round drum), getting anything (even finger oils) on this can wrap tape around it for yards/meters.

TAPE WENT IN AND TROUBLE TO GET OUT, WHEN OUT, STILL ACTING LIKE IT HAS A TAPE IT IN IT IS TRYING TO EJECT. KEEPS SAYING 'STOP' 'EJECT' AND THE TV WILL NOT STAY OFF~~
If you "helped" the tape out in any way, that action most likely caused more damage. When a qualified technician sees an item before "customer induced damage" their job is easier and no "unusual" parts are broken which puts them in a good frame of mind and translates into a repair that you can be happy about.
However, if only the "eject" button was used to get the tape out, this is a fairly common symptom and worth taking to an experienced professional.

Replacing tapes
Hi,

if the back up job has completed it should eject or
you should be able to tell the software you are using for a back up to eject.
or there should be an eject botton on the front of your tape drive.

Good Luck
