  • No dvd drives after installing itunes

    after i installed, dvd rom and burner could not be found, went pc managment, there, but pc will cant find them...any ideas?

    hi gjmiles!
    i think Moz is bang on with his/her diagnosis here. (we've been getting a flurry of reports recently of this problem hitting Packard Bell owners.)
    if you'd like to doublecheck, head back into your Device Manager and expand the DVD drive entry. if you see a warning message there citing code 41, i'd go with the treatment outlined on the MS KB doc.
    if you've got the time and the inclination, would you mind trying something for me before you apply the MS KB doc treatment? head into itunes and see if it will let you do a "help > run CD diagnostics ...", and post back with the results.
    rationale ... my best guess at the moment as to why this is hitting Packard Bell owners is that there is software pre-installed on the PC which is leaving problematic filter entries in the registry. i don't know what software package that might be. but an itunes CD diagnostics displays people's filter entries. so it might help us get some idea about the causes of this particular problem ... or at least falsify my current best-guess hypothesis about the causes of this.

  • Missing CD/DVD drive after installing iTunes w/ Windows Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 laptop. The problem I am having is when I install iTunes my CD/DVD drive disappears. The drive is listed in the device mananger but it is corrupt ( yellow triangle). I can restore the drive by going back to system restore before iTunes was installed.It was sugested by Toshiba that I wait for the Windows Vista/ iPod fix. It has been sometime and there has been no word of a fix. I just bought my laptop in march and my iPod last month and I can not use it unless I load all of music one time and do a systems restore and loose it. It has become very fustrating as all the hot fixes do not apply to Vista but XP. I really need some support from someone. Microsoft charges 95 bucks a hour ( I think) and Toshiba says it is a Apple/Windows problem.
    Thanks-

  • Lost sound driver after installing airparrot

    I have a 2009 Macbook pro running mountain lion. I downloaded this program called Airparrot to stream my screen to my apple TV. While streaming it asked to download Airparrots sound drivers so I did. No im able to get sound on my TV while streaming and sound if I plug in headphones to the headphone jack but No sound trough my internal macbook speakers. If I go into system preferences there is no option for internal speakers.
    I think when I installed Airparrots audio it deleted the internal speaker driver.
    I tried restoring the system and still nothing
    How do I get my internal speaker option back ??

  • Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

    Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro  says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

    Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • How can I use a remote CD/DVD drive to install MacOS 10.4?

    Hello,
    My old iBook G3 needs to be updated to MacOS 10.4 however its CD drive doesn't work. I have an retail copy of Tiger and have put it in my iBook G4 but when I open the installer it doesn't allow me to choose my mounted iBook G3 (which I have connected through a wireless network). How can I use my iBook G4's CD/DVD drive to install MacOS 10.4 on my iBook G3?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    'Making matters worse' seems a bit excessive, since it isn't that uncommon for an optical drive to die in an otherwise perfectly good machine. (Ask parents with inquisitive kids, for example!
    Plus, this is an iBook, & I don't believe OWC sells replacement internal drives for them, only for PowerBooks, so it doesn't seem that unreasonable to suggest that he first try something that has a good chance of doing what he wants to do, which is install Tiger on the iBook, rather than suggest anything that may or may not be appropriate for his situation.
    Since he already has purchased the DVD, the most he is risking with the TDM approach is the cost of a 6 pin to 6 pin FW cable, which he still should find useful no matter what else he decides to do. If nothing else, it shouldn't cost anymore than the exchange of the DVD for CD's, right?

  • How to use mac cd/dvd drive to install software on pc

    My PC's dvd drive went bad. I need to install software from a dvd, is there a way to use my Macbook Pro dvd drive to install the software on the windows laptop?

    If your PC is a desktop, and you intend to still use the PC for a while ...
    I would do this ...
    Use it as an excuse to get a BluRayread/DVDRW/DL.  Lets you play BluRay and extends the "useful life" of the PC.
    Or make it an external USB BluRay ...
    eww ...

    how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive?  If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
    If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.

  • Old videos lost their audio after installing iOS4

    My old videos lost their audio after installing iOS4.
    Quite frustrating. Any fix?
    (I am with iPhone 3GS).

    Do they still have audio in iTunes? Then, try using iTunes to "convert" them to iPhone-compatible format.

  • Install iTunes 7.6, and loose my DVD Drive after it.

    I run: Windows Vista Ultimate PRE-SP1. Lite-ON Blu-Ray DVD Player.
    I install iTunes v7.6 and get the following after reboot:
    "Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall iTunes."
    My DVD drive is no longer recognized by my computer. Windows Hardware says there is a driver error. Re-installation of these Drivers results in same error. Upon removal of iTunes the error magicly dissapears and there is my DVD drive again.
    Please Tell me someone knows of a hotfix for this issue! I am missing my iTunes.

    No this is an Apple issue. I ran out and bought 4 Mac's laptops last year when I had to buy a "Vista" computer.
    Because of my business I have to use PC (software). since I purchased Vista I was unable to use my 3 video pods (my kids and mine). itunes did exactly what you are discribing here. I totally blamed microsoft..
    HOWEVER after downloading service pack 1 and purchasing a new iphone 3G it was working like a charm ....NOT a problem. I used "mobile me" to sync my outlook and was happier than I had been in over a year with BOTH my PC and Mac.
    After the upgrade last week (I upgraded 8-1-08) my PC sees the CD/DVD drive however itunes is disabling it. I have a ton of software on my PC Office ultimate 07, Photoshop 6 Roxio 10 all of it. NONE of those had updates.
    I am NOT happy with the thousands that I have placed into apple the last 6 months. I really thought this was Microsoft...it is not.
    I am lucky because I have a Mac Pro to sync my iphone too (even though I am NOT proficent on a Mac yet). I actually signed onto these boards to see if I could run it on Mac since I installed it on PC..
    I tried to see if I would downgrade to the previous version ...no luck...apple likes to install as soon as you boot up...I also tried to restore to a previous time (prior to the upgrade) that also didn't work..itunes again downloaded immediatly after a reboot.
    Apple needs to get a fix...I was going to automate a business with MACs...I have my kids on both now..I have an appointment with their business sales..
    I think I will bring this computer in and tell them we will talk AFTER you fix this simple problem.. I would HATE to lose patients medical records because of a bad download.

  • IMac 17" Hard Drive and DVD dead after install.

    I am attempting to install a WD 250gig hard drive into a 17” flat panel 800mhz imac. I followed the directions of taking the base apart and installing the new drive with great care. The Original 80 gig drive was set to master and the DVD drive was set to slave. I set the new WD drive to master and put the base back together. All I got was a flashing question mark. That was not unexpected, but I have been unable to get the iMac to recognize the existence of a hard drive or the DVD superdrive. I started the iMac from my Powerbook in firewire target mode. And verified that the iMac does not see the drives within the system information or the Disk Utility.
    I have tried resetting PRAM, changing the jumpers on both drives, making the DVD master and the HD slave, setting the HD on cable select. Formatting the HD in my Powermac and cloning the original HD to it with CCC and replaced the ribbon cable. I now can take this iMac apart and put it back together faster then a Chinese factory worker.
    I have abandon hopes of a new hard drive and put the 80 gig back in exactly as I found it. The iMac will not recognize the original configuration either. I started this project as favor for my sister who owns the iMac. There is not a lot of money here to send the whole works into service.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what went wrong?
    Is there a way I can test the power supply to the drives?
    imac 17" FP 800 mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Well we figured it out. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Since nothing we did worked, I figured we had nothing to lose. With the assistance of my electronics wiz brother, we powered up the iMac while having the base opened and the components spread out on a table. Using a voltmeter, we determined we were only getting 3.6 volts to the drives. It should have been 12 volts. Somehow, something went wrong with the system board. After careful examination under a magnifying glass and some prodding with a voltmeter, we discovered that a tiny component next to the power connector on the system board fell off. It was no more than 2mm across and was marked (L13). We figured this was an inductance component and probably a filtering device for the power to the drives. We powered up the board and jumped the leads with a screwdriver. The HD and DVD fired right up. A careful soldering across L13 made the fix permanent. I got it all put back together and everything is running great.
    The moral of the story; be extremely careful when pulling connectors off the system board. I must have knocked the component off when I first took the iMac apart. I just got lucky we found out what it was and were able to find a quick fix.
    This a nice little iMac, but i never want to work on one again.

  • Computer can't find DVD/CD-ROM drives after installing iTunes

    After installing iTunes, my computer no longer can detect my DVD-ROM and CD-RW drives. They've disappeared from the "My Computer" window.
    I ran "System Restore" and the disc drives showed up, but now they're undetected once again after I re-installed iTunes. I've restarted, I've uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes, I've run the built-in diagnostic self-checks on the drives, I downloaded updated drivers, I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, spent 1 hour on the phone with Apple support, and finally spent 2 hours on the phone with Dell Support. Nothing. Please help--I want to be able to use my iPod with Windows.

    Hey there. May I interject? Anyone mind?
    For the most part, what's occurring is one of two things. Either...
    A) an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some folks, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists.
    or
    B) a virus (or trojan) burrows its way into your file structure, and creates an element of itself disguised as a .SYS file. We've seen this happen before with viral elements disguising themselves as audio or video card driver files, in the efforts of masking themselves from lower-class anti-virus programs (or un-updated ones). In this case, they take on the name of a driver file that the optical drives are "familiar" with, and so, with the intention of being "fast, friendly, and efficient", the optical drives are tapped to utilize this new "driver" file... and it gets referenced in the registry as such.
    However, when your anti-virus actually snaps to it, and removes the virus / trojan, and you go off on a virus-killing mission, galavanting through the registry and cleaning the little buggers out in Safe Mode and everything... you might remove the viral elements... but... the reference to them might still remain. The device manager is still looking for that "driver file", and will cause the optical drives to lock up in a Code 39 or Code 41 because of it.
    Either way, the thing to do to reclaim your optical drives is located in your registry here:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE1 0318}
    You'll want to have that open, and a mini-window of the following:
    START -> CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM -> Hardware (tab) -> DEVICE MANAGER -> Offending Drive (with yellow tag by it) Right-Mouse-Click and PROPERTIES -> Driver (tab) -> DRIVER DETAILS
    Notice that list. It references all the drivers that that particular drive is utilizing. There should be a single .DLL (dynamic link library) file and multiple .SYS files. It's the .SYS files we're focusing on, and they should be located in your C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\ folder stem. If you want to open a new window explorer, and go verify that each of those driver files still exists in that folder stem, you may.
    At this point, compare the Driver File Detail list with the Registry Tree Location you're sitting in, and look at the UpperFilterCheck and LowerFilterCheck key values. Your offending key value will NOT be on your Driver File Detail list!!! It might be as small as "PFC" or something else, but that value is referencing to a driver file that no longer exists. Delete that offending key value. Close the registry.
    Close the Driver File Details and Drive Properties windows. At this point, to finish this up, you need to Soft Uninstall (Right-mouse-click on the drive, and hit "Uninstall" ) the drive(s), let the Device Manager refresh... then hit ACTION -> Scan For Hardware Changes ...
    This should start a new Found New Hardware cycle, and.... poof!... your drives should be back to normal
    I don't know if this will help, I think it should.
    Good Luck. Post back if you have a problem.
