Cd drive doesn't work with one CD.

I have one Cd that will not play on my tangerine iBook. I put it in, it slows the whole thing down, and I have to prematurely turn it off. My brother has an indogo, that plays the CD fine. All other Cds work on my clamshell, but this doesn't. The Cd works in Os 9 also, so what's the deal?

What kind of cd is it? I've run into a problem with burned cd's from machine to machine. I always thought that one cd drive is more picky than others. My old indigo Imac had a hard time with burned music cd's, but they played in my Clamshell...and I belive they have the same cd drives.
Try cleaning the clear optical lense with a q-tip and alcahol gently.
See if that helps.

  • Sound doesn't work with one player but does with two...

    I'm running the Win7 Release Candidate and have Flash Player 10 installed.  Today when I tried to play a video on youtube, there was sound for a split second, and then it cut out while the video continued to play.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash with no success. Then I tried opening up two tabs and played a video in each tab, and suddenly the sound was working again.  This happens in both Google Chrome and IE8.  I have normal sound in all other applications.  Any suggestions?

    is the driver for your network card up to date?  that could be a reason it will not work with the more up to date HH3
    If want more assistance from the forum members please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

  • IChat just doesn't work with one of my buddies

    Hi there, I can get my iChat to work with some of my buddies, I did try appleu3test and it did work for me and for this problematic buddy, I even asked one of my "working" buddies to invite first my difficult buddy, and then invite me for multi chat and all went like a whiz. I do not get the problem. Firewalls set according to Ralph's recommendations, tests do work, other buddies do work, but me. What can be wrong?
    It is PB G4 and MBP

    Hi Vladimir,
    This is either
    1) a firewall issue
    2) a NAT issue
    3) or a modem that has difficulty with iChat and SIP issue.
    Can you tell us what modems and/or routers are being used and what has been done to set them up, please ?

  • Isight doesn't work with one computer

    the whole family got isight cameras for christmas. as long as we're all in the house we can see each other on our cameras, but when i take my laptop out of the house to another location, i can see my stepdad's computer, but not my mom's.
    i've checked with the cable modem people- no firewalls there. i've called apple- no ideas from them.
    firewalls are OFF on all three computers, preferences for ichat AV are all the same on all three computers.
    i can see video with pc's and other macs, including the apple test ids (appleu3test01, appleu3test02).
    pc's can't see my computer, the only mac that can't see me on my computer is my mom's.
    any ideas?
    my computer: powerbook g4; os10.4.3
    mom's computer: powerbook g4; os 10.4.3
    stepdad's computer: desktop g5; os 10.4.3
    thanks for any help you may have to offer...

      Hello Anita. You have a good start and are doing the right things.
    Here is how I recommend you continue your trouble shooting to find the SOURCE of your problem(s?) so you know what to fix. Otherwise EVERYONE will need to try EVERYTHING.
    I suggest that you disconnect everything except one ethernet connected Mac from your home internet connection as suggested in Using iSight with iChat AV. Begin testing with other Mac users (you can use these if you need additional Buddy Names for iChat Test) to find ONE of your available Macs that can connect for reliable video from ONE of your available internet connections. Then, try the next Mac from that known good connection.
    If none of your Macs work when connected directly to your Broadband modem via ethernet cable, first Check your Broadband Speed to be certain you have enough bandwidth.
    You should also consider Possible hardware or software conflicts.
    Then, if bandwidth or conflicts are not your problem, try any applicable suggestions from Help for iChat AV 3 Problems until you get ONE Mac working. This will establish a known good internet connection.
    Concentrate on ONE Mac until it is working with other Mac testers. Then fix the next Mac.
    Finally, you can begin adding back other items (if any) such as a router, wireless, etc., to your know good modem to find any problems associated with your connection devices.
    If you need to post back, let us know whether your successful video connection inside your house was via Bonjour or via the AIM server.

  • X-Fi Driver doesn't work with 4GB RAM - Verif

    I have a X-Fi Platinum and 4GB RAM?( windows XP can only recognize 3GB memory).
    Then
    Install the latest X-Fi driver on Win XP SP2, it works w/o any problem
    I?format the HDD, install windows 2003 R2 SP2 Standard (Win2003 can recongize 4GB ram)
    I install ?the same X-Fi?driver. After reboot, I can only hear crackling from the sound card,
    Then I edit the boot.ini file by adding /maxmem=4096, reboot, now the sound card works w/o any problem
    Creative, could you please improve you X-Fi?driver by considering the large ram issue ?

    I might be wrong, and if I am wrong then could someone correct me, but as far as I knew, Creative Cards do not support Windows Server 2003. I maybe wrong, have you tried the latest BETA driver (see exciting news thread)John
    In windows 2003, the driver works if I limit the total ram to 4096MB by adding /Maxmem=4096 in boot.ini file.
    FYI
    /maxmem
    The /maxmem parameter limits the physical memory available to Windows.
    /maxmem=SizeInMB
    Subparameter
    SizeInMB
    Specifies the maximum amount of physical memory available to Windows. Enter a decimal number that represents the amount of memory in megabytes.
    Comments
    This parameter actually limits Windows to memory addresses less than or equal to the specified value. Because some memory within the remaining address space might be reserved for nonsystem use, the actual memory available to Windows might be less than the amount that you specify.
    The /maxmem parameter is supported only on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. On Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, use /burnmemory to limit system memory more precisely. On Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, use the removememory or truncatememory parameters with the BCDEdit /set command
    You can use this parameter to test a driver in low memory conditions. For example, you can use this parameter to limit a computer with GB of memory to 256 MB of memory.

  • External Hard Drive doesn't work on one usb, but works on the other, help?!

    Hi there,
    I have a very strange issue here. When connecting my external portable Maxtor 60GB disc to my MBP, I usually use the usb port on the right side of my laptop. However tonight, I connected it to the left usb port and noticed a horrible clicking sound coming from the otherwise silent drive. It made repeated clicking/scratching sounds and wouldn't mount and crashed OS X. Then I connected it to the right hand USB port and it mounted and worked like nothing else happened.
    Has ANYONE experienced/can explain this bizarre phenomenon? Is it time to trade in my Maxtor for a new drive? I've only had it for a year and a half. Thank you!!

    It's a power issue, use a 2-1 USB cord, a powered hub or an external power supply.

  • Ichat doesn't work with one buddy - can't figure out why!

    It has to have something to do with the internet connection and the way they have it set up but I can't figure it out.
    My family all has macs - there is no problems with video chatting through our AIM accounts until we try and hook up with my parent's imac. It works for a second and then freezes. We are all at different locations so I can't imagine what the problem could be. It works just fine if both computers are using my parent's internet connection, it's just when we are trying to connect with them from our own connections.
    Not sure if it matters but my parent's imac in fairly new, they bought about 5 months ago. Like I said, I have a feeling it's the settings on modem or router but I'm not sure what to try. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we can try???
    Thanks so much!!

    Hi,
    What router or Modem do they have ?
    What Error log number are you getting ?
    Old Logs are in your Home Folder/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors
    Error 20 (No data for 10 secs) can be caused be a feature in the router at the far end.
    They should turn Off any DoS (Denial of Service) or SPI (Stateful packet Inspection) as both are threshold based and cut the port that is giving "Problems" (iChat can send so much data in Video chats over modern Internet Speeds, the device will think it is an Attack)
    Error 22 is a Speed/bandwidth issue
    If they are on Leopard they should go to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and select 1.5mbps (The Automatic Setting can be too low)
    In fact all ends should do this for Tiger and Leopard computers.
    iChat will need Restarting afterwards to "See" the new speed.
    There are other possible numbers but those are the most likely based on your description.

  • Maxtor Drive doesn't work with Apple base station

    Could someone help me out here. I have a Maxtor one touch 4 mini. Works perfectly when I connect it directly to my laptop, which a powerbook G4. But when I try to connect it to my base station, nothing happens. Any ideas? It is already formatted to MAC extended format.

    Try using the network equivalent password. See KB 106864, AirPort Extreme: Getting an equivalent network password.

  • Touch id doesn't work with one particular finger

    Touch ID will recognize my right thumb when initially set up, and then recognition deteriorates .  I have set up other fingers and they continue to work fine, its only the right thumb.  I have even reset device, and it will work like a charm for a few days and then same problem.  Sound like an odd problem, but I have reset phone and finger print enough times to see that the problem actually exist. Common sense would say use other fingers, but my right thumb is the dominate finger and most convienant to use.  Any ideas?

    Have you tried cleaning your thumb to remove oils and dirt that will cause recognition to deteriorate? Also clean the Home button thoroughly.
    You also need to go through the entire touch setup that should capture you entire finger print instead of only catching a partial record.

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

  • What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

    QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
    AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
    To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
    Reinstall the Driver
    Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
    Power Cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery if removed.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Start the computer and test the drive
    Microsoft Fix-it
    Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
    Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
    Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
    The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
    The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
    You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
    If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
    System Restore
    Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    System Recovery
    If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
    For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    Contact Customer Support
    If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

  • Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

    Oh hai!
    I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
    Encoding failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
    I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
    I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
    Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • Kernal freaks out and cd drive doesn't work.

    I had trouble booting up my imac and it says something about the kernal not working during the boot up stage. I took out one of the sticks of ram and it will boot up fine. Does that mean that my ram is bad.
    Also my cd drive doesn't work. I just put in a cd and it spits it out. I tried all sorts of cd's and it has the same results.
    Please let me know what I can do.

    If it works with different ram, then that means the ram that's in there when it won't boot is likely faulty. The kernal panics are likely due to the bad ram. Return and/or exchange it and double check to make sure you got the right type of ram. You want PC2-5300 (667MHz) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303721
    Secondly the drive issue sound like a failure of it to work al together. If you're under warranty I'd call Apple to arrange a repair, or take it into an Apple Store or Authorised Service Provider.
