After install all CD's DVD's keep ejecting without mounting

After installing the snow leopard when I put in any CD or DVD it churns away for 30 seconds or so and then ejects the disc.
I cannot get it to mount anything.
This is not the same problem as just the install discs ejecting. And the drive was fine before the install (actually I recall the drive did work for a day or two after the initial install but now consistently ejects everything when I put it in.
Thanks for any help.

Just a guess, but what is set as the default action upon inserting a cd or dvd?
From: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2490
Set Your Media Preferences
Open System Preferences and click CDs & DVDs to display its preferences.
The top two pop-up menus let you decide what your Mac should do when you insert a blank CD or DVD. By default, both menus are set to "Ask what to do"; this action opens a dialog. You can change it to open your choice of application, open Disk Utility, run a script, or simply ignore it.
The bottom three pop-up menus let you choose what your Mac should do when you insert a music CD, picture CD, or video DVD, respectively.

Hi
a. You are using Cheap media as Memorex, NoName etc DVDs - I only use Verbatim
b. You use a DL-DVD or DVD+/-RW type of media - Old Macs can not use DL-DVDs - I only use DVD-R
c. Your DVD-burner needs a cleaning - Cleaning DVD without liquid but the brush type
d. Is there OK free space on Your Start-Up (Macintosh HD) hard disk - I never go less than 25Gb free.
e. Can You describe the material used to create Your DVD
- Video Codec/s
- Photo file formats
- Audio file formats
iDVD can not use all but only a few of them - still it tries and then often fails
Just to start by.

HT2494 Usb super drive is not playing my dvds. keeps ejecting them. It is brand new

USB SUPER DRIVE IS NEW. MAC IS NEW. THE DRIVE IS NOT ACCEPTING MY DVDS. KEEPS EJECTING THEM.
I HAVE THE MAC, 21.5 INCH INTEL BASED DESK TOP

I have the same issue wherein my external usb superdrive is ejecting the DVDs.
When I had the Snow Leopard, I was able to copy the DVDs into my hard drive, or even just watch DVD films. Since I have the Mountain Lion, the DVD films which I used to be able to watch were not able to be read anymore ... it ejects them.
I did not notice it when I upgraded the Mountain Lion, because I did not watch any new DVDs. Noticed this only couple of months back, and been searching for the solution.

HP Photosmart 6520: Black ink is not printing evening after installing all new ink cartidges

Good evening,
Printer has been working great since I've bought it. I replaced the black ink cartridge today because my daughter remarked that blank pages was printing ... no word doc.
Tonight I tried to print and no black ink, neither from the Printer function nor the Copy function.
Just to make sure that this wasn't a bad black ink cartridge, I went out and bought and installed all the ink cartridges and still no black ink,.
I have run the software - Clean Printheads, both steps, twice (after waiting an hour inbetween the first and second series.)
I have verified that the in flows from the cartridge.
I have verified that the vent hole on the cartridge is open.
The warranty ended on 12-31-2013.
The only time I see black ink (words) is when I print the PRINT QUALITY DIAGNOSTIC report.
Printhead removal does not appear to be user available. Any suggestions - other than buy a new one?
Gunz

Hello afcosta355,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6520, you are unable to print in black ink after replacing the cartridge.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,
HevnLgh

After installing Quicktime CD-ROM/DVD drive doesn't work.

We use Quicktime to view files created by agencies. After installing Quicktime 7.1 the CD-ROM/DVD drive on the IBM thinkpad no longer works.
error - This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
The only way to resolve this issue is to edit the registry and remove the Upper and Lower filters.
Why does this happen? Can you please let me know if this will be amended soon, and is there a way of installing the software to stop this from happening?
IBM Thinkpad Windows 2000

Last night I had the same problem. Tried to upgrade and got the version with Itunes to see what it was. After reboot, Both physical drives and a vertual drive now have the yellow mark. This program should not have touched device drivers. Uninstalled both quicktime and Itunes and rebooted. Same thing. Reinstalled Quicktime. Same thing. Ran reg mechanic. it said 2 dlls where missing:
PxSFS.DLL
pxwma.dll
These don't seem to be device drivers, so should not have had an effect, but I replaced them which made reg mechanic happy. Problem is still there.
In Event viewer for application I now have this error at each reboot:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( IDriverT ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: Service started.
For System Event I have this at each reboot because the cdroms are disabled:
The Cdralw2k service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
Looking through this thread it looks like just other users replying. Where is Apple? they created this mess.

After installing all lenovo updates for n500 I cant access the boot rescure and recovery anymore!!!

hi,
i´ve just installed all actual updates for the n500, including a bios update. since then I cant get into the boot up utilities(I think its called thinkvantage) anymore with the lenovo button when booting up (instead, I get a menu where I can choose where to boot from!!!!)... when pressing f8 on bootup there used to be something like "repair system" in the menu, its gone too...
also, rescure and recovery in vista basic does not load anymore, the gui process is running but nothing happens... please help!!!
what can I do??? I didn't touch any partitions or delete anything... before the updates, it did work. installing the newest bios from the website did not solve the problem too...

I am beginning to love lenovo. and vista. I´ve used the boot disk found at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54483
(vista version), made a disc with it, "fixed" my mbr... and now vista stops booting all together. something about a missing bootmanager. I love it. really. both. lenovo, and vista.
edit: lucky me, I had a dart cd to repair the boot manager. so I can at least boot again. but, still no solution to my problem... any ideas?
edit 2: I tried again. this time, no error. but still, I have the same problem with a not working thinkvantage. any ideas?
edit 3: seems like the only solution left after reviewing all hints and tips is installing rescue and recovery, but has anyone installed it on a N500 yet? does it work? does it damage the pc? which version should I install, if it works?

After installing Snow Leopard the speech application keeps quitting

Hi everyone, I have recently installed Snow Leopard on my 06 iMac, installed all the latest updates.
I then found that when I try to set up voice activation application: system preference–speech.
The application opens for a few seconds and then unexpectedly quit. As I'm studying I use Acrobat reader
to read documents back to myself. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my machine being a 32-bit machine, and Snow Leopard
is mainly a 64-bit operating system. But I also find that the Read aloud option in the Acrobat reader does not work
and causes acrobats also unexpectedly quit.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
Thank you

Internal and External DVD players keep ejecting DVDs

i have a G4 500mhz AGP mac (upgraded to a 1.6ghz processor via a NewerTech card) with an internal CD/DVD player (not burner) and i have an external LaCie CD/DVD burner (the LaCie CD/DVD burner is only about 4 weeks old and i've burned maybe 8 to 10 DVDs on it)
i have had NO problem reading any DVD disks until just about a week ago.. i had bought a new Graphics DVD and it worked the first time i put it in the DVD player... the second time it would not work... (((this was the start of the problem of the purple-ish DVDs not mounting))) so, i thought i had just bought a faulty DVD, they replaced it and the new one still will not work at all.. the DVD will NOT work in my internal DVD player AND it will not work in my LaCie external DVD burner/player...
the internal drive just spins for a few minutes and the kicks the DVD out... the external LaCie drive spins for several minutes, then i finally get a message saying the disc is not readable.
what i have noticed is that any DVDs i put in will mount as long as they have a silver surface.... if the surface is purple-ish color, those are the DVDs that will not mount and keep ejecting
even DVDs that i have burned on the external LaCie DVD burner will not mount in the internal drive OR the external drive...
as i said, all of the DVDs that will NOT mount are the one's with a purple-ish surface... maybe that has something to do with the problem....
something must have happened somewhere because these purple-ish DVDs did used to work... i even did a brand new install of OS X.4 on a totally seperate hard drive and these purple-ish DVDs STILL would not work...
even booted into MacOS 9.2.2 and the STILL would NOT mount....
ANY info would be helpful...

i now KNOW that there is NOT a defect with the LaCie DVD/CD burner and there is not a problem with the purple-ish DVDs, but it is HAS TO BE something with the Mac or MacOS X software because i took the LaCie drive and connected it to my WindowsXP machine and ALL the purple-ish DVDs that would not mount on my mac computer WILL WORK on with the LaCie drive connected to my XP machine...
any suggestions are appreciated.....

Installing Tiger on PowerBook G4 - CD keeps ejecting

Hello - I am looking to give my old PowerBook G4 to someone who does not own a computer. I did a clean install of the PowerBook G4 OS system CD that came with the unit when I bought it new. I then did all the updates. The computer shows the OS version as 10.3.9 and has 1GB RAM. I wanted to upgrade it to Tiger, but the CD drive keeps ejecting back the Tiger CD. I know..... very rude. (The CD/DVD drive itself is fine, as it accepted the 10.3 G4 CD just fine.) I did many searches on this issue, but could not find a answer. Is it a Firmware thing? What's a good guy to do so he can give this fine looking PowerBook G4 to someone who can use it? (I would just leave it with the 10.3.9, but what bugs me is that Facebook.com does not appear correctly........ weird?! Lets you sign in, but can't see any page content.) Thanks for any help!

Do you have some other DVD (movie?) that you could place in the disc drive to see if the drive will read it? The drive has separate read optics for CDs & DVDs. Could be dust on the DVD lens. You could buy a cleaning disc & put it in your drive.
 Cheers, Tom

Cd/dvd drive keeps ejecting Discs

My ibook G4 14.1 (mid 2005) Keeps ejecting discs after i put them in, it will
not accept any disc whether is was a cd r-rw+/- or commercial disc or dvds,i am thinking it is about to die, but i want to see if there was something i was doing wrong or not. It does make every once in a while a grinding sound but has not made that sound for a while.

I'm having a similar problem with my iBook, but so far i've found no solution...

CD/DVD Player keeps ejecting,

My Sat A215-S7416, CD player keeps ejecting, it started after I remove the virus Trojan Fake Alert. Any ideas

Try to run a virus cleaner. Not your antivirus program. It surely cannot identify it as a malware since it let it through.

Iphone 4s locking up after installing 8.0.2 how to fix this without getting a newer phone? Other 4s users are experiencing same difficulties.

After installing IOS 8.0.2 the phone has been locking up when using apps such as Facebook. The screen becomes unresponsive for several minutes after loading an app. Also, if you double click the home button to shut down the app the screen is unresponsive or the screen becomes black. I did not have this problem until installing the IOS 8.0.2. I have talked to a couple other people that have the 4S and they are experiencing the same problems. The iphone 5 users are not experiencing this problem. I suspect the processor is too slow to handle the new IOS and the 4S should have not be allowed to update to this IOS if the system was not going to work properly. Is there a way to fix IOS 8 or return to IOS 7?

Sorry, but there is no way to downgrade the iOS. To make sure your backup did not contain damaged files after upgrading and restoring, set it up as new device without using the backup and no 3rd party apps installed. If the phone is working after that, add the 3rd party apps back.

Blank DVD's being ejected upon mounting.

I know there's a topic right below me about DVD's being ejected, but that topic is about all DVDs. My problem seems to be just blank DVD's and burned DVD's. I've tried different brands, doesn't seem to be the problem. I was thinking about trying a cleaner, anyone have any brands in mind? Also, if that does not fix my problem, could the optical drive be replaced?

If your machine is under a year old, I would take it in for service.
If your machine same thing.
Wouldn't want you to damage your machine so badly they'd say its your fault they have to repair it, and they wouldn't want to cover it.

Fresh install, no errors in install at all

Hi,
Rundll32.exe is responsible for calling Windows DLL (or Dynamic Link Library) files and loading them into your PC's memory.
Usually the rundll32.exe Application error is not a straight forward error. There are lots of possible reasons for this error, includes a failed or incorrect installation or uninstallation of any softwares, which might have left erroneous Windows registry
entries.
Tracking down the exact issue can take lots of investigation. The severity of this error really depends, if everything works well for you, you can just ignore it. However, if you want to correct this, try below steps:
Since you notice this error right after you installed Office 2013, try to remove and re-install it using default setting.
Reboot your computer, many programs require a reboot for successful installation.
Try to update your computer drivers. This is usually the cause of lots of .dll file error.
Try to run the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to correct any incorrect system file. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files:
