Cant open cd-rw on desktop

can anyone help me ...i can burn a cd-rw on my e mac just fine ......open up on a pc and see the information , but it wont appear on my computer.
any suggestions as to why or how i can fixed this ?
cd-r seem to be fine, but not a re recordable disc

martin brown3,
Check the simple stuff first: your Finder Preferences and System Preferences/ CDs & DVDs settings. There's a checkbox to show CDs on the desktop; is that unchecked?
If the preferences are set as expected, with the CD in the drive, open Applications> Utilities> Disk Utility. Does it see the disc?

    all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

    Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
    Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?

    How do you use Gmail: as webmail in a browser (what browser), or in an email client (which)?
    Also what exactly means "cant open them properly"?

    Hi,
    If you are using Windows Machine, just click on Start button and start typing CC, you will see all your downloaded Creative Cloud application there.
    And in case of Mac, at the top right corner, there is a magnefying glass caled as Spotlight. Click on it and start typing CC, it will show your downloaded Creative Cloud apps, there.

  • After I downloaded firefox 4.1 when I go to open documents I get a "system call falied" I cant open anything help!! It is also missing off my desktop

    After downloading the newest firefox every time I go to open any documents, pics etc I get a "system call failed" I cant open anything and all my icons disappeared from my desktop and were unclickable when there after this initially happened.

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

  • Cant open any desktop folders or icons, not even control panel. Help!

    Hi,
    I really need help desperately. I cant open any desktop folders or icons. I've restored to the earliest point I can but with no difference. Even the Control Panel cant be opened from the Start button. my compuetr freezes everytime I double-click or right-click on "My Computer" or "My Documents" icons.
    My restore CD which was supplied with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 doesnt work either. Please help! I'm really desperate!
    Jess

    Waht do you mean with "I have tried with the restore CD but nothing"? Have you tried to completely format your HDD? I had a similar problem but in my case it was due to the OS registry...so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
    If you cannot solve this problem with the cd supplied by factory...I think it could be an hardware problem due probably to the HDD. Does your HDD make strange sounds, such as "clic-clac"?
    Bye

  • Cant Open System Preferences, when i double click the icon it opnes up and then after a second it disappears

    Hi new as a mac user...ok so how come i cant open my "System Preferences" and my "hard disk icon" is missing from my desktop? and im seeing question marks on my icons, namely the "download" icon and the "documents" icon? i need help :/
    i tried opening the system preferences from the uper left corner of my desktop but to no avail. and i cant really reinstall the OS because macbook air doesnt have a disk drive and my MBA is early 2008 so it doesnt have the USB thingy that the latest MBA has.

  • When i open itunes on my desktop the itunes store wont open

    When i open itunes on my desktop the itunes store wont open, Ihave tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no good. I cant even sign in. System is win7 64bit if any of that helps. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Cant Open/Install since newest update

    Hello,
    This is my first post here because i have never had issues with itunes/ipod before. here is my issue-
    Ever since the most recent update, when i would click my icon for itunes on my desktop it would say.
    "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed" even though i just watched the installation finish. so i just would then try to install itunes again, so i redownloaded the installation file from apple.com, the file openes fine, starts installing, but during the installation, pretty sure its in the part where it says it is removing the old version of itunes, it says "the feature u are trying to use is on a network resoruce that is unavailable, click OK, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes.msi" ive searched for this file and i do not have it on my computer, this just started with the newest update, i cant open itunes at all now, so i ask for some help here, thank you!

  • I cant open my trash

    Whatever I do, I cant open my trash. Ive tried relaunching finder, and "killall dock" and "killall finder" in terminal. Nothing works. ans when i look up trash in spotlight I get a error. I dont really get how terminal works either.....

    Move com.apple.finder.plist in your user/Home Folder Library/Preferences to the Desktop, then try again. To get to that folder, enter ~/Library/Preferences in Go to Folder. You will have to redo your finder settings.
    If that doesn't work:
    In Terminal, COPY/PASTE ONLY. A mistake in the spaces in this command can be a disaster.
    sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
    Hit return, then at the prompt enter your admin password, which you won't see anywhere when you type it in. Hit return again. Keep going after getting the warning about using sudo.
    When you get a new $ sign prompt, just close the window. Then log out and back in again.

  • I cant open attachments in email

    I am running windows 7 professional, and up until 2 days ago everything was fine. Now when i get an email with an attachment i cant open it I get a pop up
    File conversion select the encoding that makes your document readable. i dont know what to do, the widows box is checked and western european widows but it is just a bunch of words in the preview box, UGH, I ran an update on adobe to X and rebooted but same thing on all attachments in email the attachment is pdf

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I cant open some of the aplication i have

    hello i cant open any aplication in my mac. Safari, iphoto, system preference why?

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
    Are you now able to open anything?
