After installing Lion, macbook doesn't read cd

My macbook doesn't read bland cds/cd with media on it. It doesn't show up in itunes or finder. Everything was fine when I had snow leopard. After installing Lion, my macbook has stopped reading cds.

they dont show up on the desktop but if you go to burn a cd in itunes with the cd recongized there? there is a setting under finder prefrences that allows you to turn off hard drives and cds and such to not be visable on your desktop, but it would be if you opened up the finder or itunes, also the first time you put in a blank cd it will ask you what the default program you want to use it with is, and if you click dont ask again it wont, but it will still be avaibale....is it not working all together or ust not showing up on your desktop

  • Slow wake up after installing lion (Macbook Pro 2010)

    Hi there,
    After installing Lion, my Macbook Pro 15" takes a lot longer to wake up from sleep than before (taking 10 or more seconds, instead of 2 seconds in Snow Leopard).
    Am I the only one seeing this? I did a normal install (upgrade from SL) from the Mac App store. RAM is 8 GB.
    Thanks!
    FR.

    I seem to have fixed this issue. I ran Disk Utility and it showed error in the file structure. I rebooted into to Lion Recovery partition and ran Disk Utility, did a repair, and now (for the time being) it wakes as expected without all the whiring fans and falling back off to sleepland.
    One gotcha with the recovery partition boot is that it doesn't recognise Magic Mouse, and I had to dig out my USB mouse.
    Hope this info is of some help.

  • Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on ical. After installing Lion I can barely read the dates of the month in ICal

    Is there a way to darken the dates (numbers) on the ICal calender. I can barely read mine after installing Lion.

    I should note that the time stays on the left of the event name when I re-enter the text (which I had to do all the time before I found the "show event times" button) so I feel like there's a way.

  • My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

    My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
    it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
    where can I find this

    If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
    Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

  • My macbook pro battery life is tremendously reduced after installing lion os x

    I installed Lion OS X on macbook pro 13 inch- i7
    I noticed that it was 100% battery full and the remaining time was less than 2 hours.
    When I was using the snow leopard, it was said 6 hours which is fine.
    How to solve this problem please.
    Best regards,

    Hi all, thought i share some of my battery related issues i have with Lion.
    As everybody already noticed, even my battery life took a deep dive into nothing really. From steady 5 hours to 2 hours !? I use my mac a lot on battery, and i can make it through the day whitout even touching a charger. But .. now that has apparently changed.
    So, what i found out after installing Lion is 3 things ..
    #1 "Kill your daemons" .. after i examined the Citrix fix, which i didn't had installed i had a look at what daemons i had loaded, and found a lot of google ones. So i killed those, whenever a use chrome i just have to manually check for updates. No biggie.
    #2 "Battery calculation is different" Yeah, it really is .. it seems like they changed the way the calculation is done. Its more dynamic now, and it taking in consideration more about what you're doing atm on your mac. When iam writing this my battery is at 70% and i says that i have 4 hours left. When i start to surf for example it drops to 2 hours. I did the battery calc reset, altho it got a little better but not good still.
    #3 "Dynamic switching" Nasty one, it seems that after i upgraded to Lion my Dynamic switching of the GPU stopped to work. All settings was according to the book, but still i had my AMD chosen all the time, which explains the furnace i got on my lap all of a sudden. So, since by default there is no way to switch the GPU i downloaded the gfxCardStatus that did the trick for me, temperature dropped radically and my battery time went up of course.
    So, now iam back to almost 70% of capacity before installing Lion, and that with doing nothing other than just install Lion !. I know there is issues with Flash, and most likely there will be a fix soon from Apple and Adobe that fixes our battery issues.
    Then there is the wifi issues, that everyone seems to have in different forms and shapes, so basically Lion needs a haircut and a shave.

  • After installing Lion, my microsoft office suite doesn't work anymore, and show this message: Application Power PC no longer available. How can I resolve it?

    Is there any possibilty to recover the use of my Microsoft Office suite, which doesn't work anymore after installing Lion?
    The programs display this error message: "no puede abrir la aplicación Microsoft Excel (o any other) porque las aplicaciones Power PC ya no son compatibles"
    thanks for your help

    You will need to upgrade your suite of MS programs.
    Older suites, like MS Office 2004, use program versions written for Macs with PPC processors. In order to use those apps in pre-Lion OS's on an Intel-processor machine, it was necessary to install Rosetta, software designed just for the purpose of using PPC-apps on an Intel machine.
    Unfortunately, Lion does not support Rosetta, so those apps no longer work.
    Solution - update them to a version which will work in Lion, such as the MS Office 2008 suite, or newer if available.

  • Launchpad Gestures doesn't work after install Lion

    Hey people, I have this problem, after install Lion all gestures works properly, but Launchpad and Show desktop doesn't work even with the option in the Trackpad enabled.
    Anybody can help me please.
    Kind regards.

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem:
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, continue with the following.
    • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
         http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    The Combo version of updates can sometimes correct
    strange problems like yours.
    For camera problems in web video, you may need to update to the current version of Flash: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you need to update Flash, follow Adobe's instructions and uninstall your old Flash before installing the new one: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html

  • Macbook pro won't reboot after installing lion

    After installing Lion on a 2007 MacBook pro, it won't reboot.  Just gets to the gray screen with the spinning wheel.  Have tried re-installing and disk repair to no avail.  Anyone else figured out how to fix?

    Lion only runs on Intel based systems which have to be core2duo. with a minimum of 2GB RAM.
    If these is given on your system, in most cases it comes from running old PPC-Applications which are not longer supported since Lion.
    Try to start your MB in "Safe Mode" by holding option key (alt) imediately after first chime and disable / delete this applications.

  • After installing Lion MBP 15´ W87452HWX91 (late 2009) doesn´t go in standby

    Hello , after installing Lion standby not works. The harddrive sleeps not and also when i close the MBP the Harddrive will not sleep.

    If you choose Sleep from the Apple menu, does it sleep?
    When you close the lid, does it appear to go to sleep and then wake right back up, or not sleep at all?

  • My Macbook pro 13" is locking up after installing Lion

    Anyone else suffering the same problem?
    By locking up I mean is unresponsive, mouse does not move. It became unresponsive while moving the mouse, not making a specific action. The keyboard is not responsive either.
    Not sure if its a deadlock/livelock.

    I have a 2008 MacBook 13" and I frequently suffer from locking up usually right after logging into my desktop (there is one other user configured). This behavior started almost immediately after installing Lion. I have to hold the power button to shut it down in order to start it up again. Annoying.
