Problem-disc's wont go in

umm cd's or dvd's won't go in the slot...its like somethings in the way of it, do i take it to an apple store and see what they say or call apple about it? i only had the macbook for a few months..and i dont no what to do first. thanks

LOL !
you probably have a disc already in there that failed to mount or was unmounted but didn't eject and is just stuck.... unless you've been jamming other things in there.
I could tell you a scary force eject command for the terminal.... but I'm just going to tell you to restart while holding your mouse button (click and hold until eject)
if that doesn't work then you probably do have soothing physically stuck in there or the mechanism has broken.

    Baconbits,
    If you mean a CD/DVD dri've, when that happens I click on MyComputer and right click my CD/DVD (or whatever storage device) and click eject. Or sometimes simply left clicking on the icon to bring up a directory will re-activate the dri've and it will open. I think maybe Windows has some unfinished business with the device and gets busy, or the device times out or... I don't know why the "open" request gets ignored (ask Bill Gates :-). After forcing an ejection like this, often I don't have the problem again for a long while.

  • My imac keeps ejecting discs and wont read them

    my imac keeps ejecting discs and wont read them

    I did not ask for the full serial number.  Anyway, you are the 7th week of 2008, unlikely that is a PRAM battery issue.
    Since your machine isn't under warranty, I'd try a CD cleaner that supports car stereos, like this one from Radio Shack online, but only if Apple Authorized service technician says it is safe:
    http://www.radioshack.com/index.jsp?productId=2361963
    This being a user to user forum, I can't say if it is or isn't.
    Or you can buy a supported external optical drive, like the various ones from http://www.macsales.com/
    Internal optical drive replacement is complicated, and possibly covered on http://www.ifixit.com/

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Disc Drive wont Load Leopard DVD

    Got round to buying Leopard this week and inserted the disc only for my Macbook to make some rumbling noises and eject the disc. I was wondering if there are any solutions to my problem or if anyone else with a Macbook is suffering from this problem.
    Thanks in advance, Scott.

    I am having the same problem with a replacement MBP 2.4GHZ which arrived today from Apple. I have a Leopard family pack which has no problems on 3 other macs. The Leopard "CPU Drop-in DVD" from the DOA computer and this replacement are all summarily spit out by this MBP??? No dirt or scratches involved. This computer has passed an extended Apple Hardware test. Will let you know what Apple Care has to say. After falling victim to the unresponsive keyboard issue on the first MBP, I am not a happy camper to say the least.

  • Dvd disc tray wont open with the side button, will only open when I click eject

    I have a new HP g7-2270us laptop.  The dvd disc tray will only open if I do it internally with the eject dvd file.  Is the dvd drive bead or is there a simple fix to make the button on the disc drive open it up????????

    Hi,
    My best advice, if you're still within the time frame allowed, would be to return the machine to the retailer you purchased it from and get a replacement machine.
    If you're outside of the time this is possible, you contact HP and arrange to have the notebook repaired under warranty.
    If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
    If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

    Thanks in advance

    I understand you saying that the Forum cannot help with hard ware issues. To your previous questions 1) which Operating system I´m using the answer is: Mac OSX 10.6.8. 2) The Photoshop version: on the DVD it says: Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Trial included. 
    My Operating system Mac OSX 10.6.8 is not supported by the Fix it link you sent me.

  • Have a HUGE problem, MacBook Pro wont boot.

    Hey there so my friend just bought a used macbook pro, and is having a massive problem. The computer originally came with Tiger so we went and got Leopard installed onto it. For the first couple of weeks she had no problem until last night. She went to boot and it got stuck on the blue screen. So we tried everything, we tried starting in safe mode, tried resetting the PRAM. Then we inserted the Leopard install disk and tried to run disk utility, it wouldn't verify or repair the disk permissions, we also tried to just repair the disk which looked like it worked, then rebooted, nothing happened, still got stuck. So we went to our last resort and tried to archive and install Leopard again, it wouldn't... it said that the install failed and that we should contact support. We did that and all they told us to do was archive and install and if that failed then to bring it to the apple store. Does anyone have any other suggestions before we bring it down there?
    Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    Sounds like the hard drive has become seriously corrupted or is failing. Start with;
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    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 and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Assuming this doesn't work and Archive and Install doesn't work, then you need to erase the drive and install Leopard from scratch. Start with:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. 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 drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    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.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
    If this does not work then the drive may be bad and should be replaced. This can be done at an Apple service center. If the drive is out of warranty then they will charge for the service and the replacement drive.

  • Boot Camp Problems: Disc Error?

    Hi All,
    I hope this is in the right forum, if not - I'm sorry!
    Have just tried to install XP Pro using Boot Camp, on a 20Gb Partition. Boot Camp created the partition smoothly, and XP installed all of the set-up files onto the new partition.
    When it come to restarting the machine however, I had the option of booting from disc again - after that option times out, I get a message "Disc read Error" or something along those lines.
    I do have the option of restarting by hitting any key, however the system just freezes!
    Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?
    Also, should Flight Simulator 2004 run smoothly on Boot Camp running XP?
    Your help is much appreciated!
    Simon.

    I just spent the weekend dealing with this.
    Credit to this Austrian guy diagonalinho who posted this in a different thread. I had a little trouble understanding his instructions (looks like English is not his first language) so I am posting the summary that I wrote for another person having the same problem. Credit goes to diagonalinho though.
    First, I think someone already mentioned that the reason you are having the problem is because Boot Camp Assistant formatted the XP partition as FAT32. It needs to be NTFS. Windows Setup is supposed to ask you how to format the new partition (see page 13 of the Boot Camp manual). If your experience is like mine, Windows Setup never asks that question. It simply goes from you selecting the C: drive (Boot Camp manual page 11) to the installation process (a blue screen yellow bar marking progress as things are copied to the partition).
    Here is a link to the manual that I'm referring to if you don't have it already: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/BootCampInstall-Setup.pdf
    I do not know why the format step is being skipped in some installs but not in all. Call it an "undocumented feature" (e.g., bug).
    Here is how to fix it:
    Boot Camp Assistant should have instructed you to insert the XP CD in the drive and then it will restart. This is what you want. After some time, you will get a blue screen with white text in the upper left hand corner that says "Windows Setup." On the bottom of the screen there will be some words telling you this and that is loading. Keep an eye on this. It will slowly list a bunch of things that it is loading. Toward the end, it will say something like "Starting Windows Setup." At this point, press and hold the F10 button. Keep holding it until you get a black screen with white text.
    You are now in the Recovery Manager. You will be asked what volume you want. The only choice you should have is 1. This is your new Windows partition, it is not your Mac OS partition. YYou may safely type "1" (without quotes) and press return. Then, the prompt will look like this:
    C:\WINDOWS\
    At the prompt, you type "cd.." (without quotes) and press return, the prompt will now look like this:
    C:\
    Now, we are going to reformat your windows partition as NTFS. To do so, at the prompt type the following without quotation marks "format c: /fs:ntfs" When typed into the prompt, it will look like this (pay close attention to spacing)
    C:\format c: /fs:ntfs
    It will give you a warning and ask if you are sure. Type "y" and press return. It will take some time to format and you will see a percentage counter counting up from 1% to 100%. When it is done, you will be back at the C:\ prompt where you will just type "exit" and press return.
    Now, Windows Setup should proceed normally.

  • Another Ipod Problem - Purchased Music wont play

    I just recently recieved my fifth repaired Ipod in a year and a halves time, and now I have another problem. I loaded all of my iTunes songs to my iPod, but all of my purchased music will not play, it just skips over them to the next song. What is going on?
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Could you share this again? I have looked for answers to this issue in multiple threads and have yet to find anything that works. All the latest stuff, resync, etc. and the purchased music still won't play after some interval of time. It plays fine for a while then it just skips through the titles.
    Is it a time thing or something you can set?
    Thx for any insight.
