Cd drive no longer working

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Asus USB DVD drive (model SDRW-08D2S-U) won't mount a CD. Neither audio or data
When I plug it into the USB port, I see this in console:
2014-10-22 6:05:43.000 PM kernel[0]: USBMSC Identifier (non-unique): RF6XA12 ï 0xe8d 0x1836 0x0, 2
When I insert an audio CD, I see this in console:

The CD won't eject until I unplug and re-plug the USB cable.

Uninstall the drive, and let the OS re-install it.
Click Start, type Device Manager, and press Enter.
Find and double-click the category of device whose driver you wish to uninstall (for example, the graphics card would be listed under Display Adapters).
Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.
Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.
After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.
Then run Lenovo System Update, there might be a newer driver for it.

My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

After recently installing itunes on my new PC running windows 8, the CD/DVD drives no longer works, gives a code 19 message. Seems itunes is impacting the registry of the DVD drive. What is best solution to keep running itunes

After recently installing itunes on my new PC running windows 8, the CD/DVD drives no longer works, gives a code 19 message. Seems itunes is impacting the registry of the DVD drive. What is best solution to keep running itunes normally in the future & get the CD/DVD drive working again? if I delete the upper / lower registry keys what other functions are impacted? I see others say itunes asks for a reinstall...then same problem all over again! THX

Have you revieved this support document?

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Dv9ooo series dv9925nr notebook no audio, disk drive no longer works

so i purchased this notebook brand new some years ago from best buy but right after my warrenty went out the audio would not work, then it could not even find the audio hardware installed, shortly after the disk drive no longer worked, so i stopped using because hp wouldnt do nothing about it, well i recently decided to look up the problem and read there was a lawsuit regarding this, i mean we spent 1000.00 for this laptop where 300.00 ones lasted longer and worked better, i have not bought a hp product since because i feel they dont stand behind their products, but i read the amd ones were being replaced, so is hp going to be able to still stand behind that and fix mine too, and what is the issue with it??

Hi @Lookin4help ,
I have sent your issue for review and do check your private message when a HP employee reaches out to you in regards to this one.
Best,

DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks very much
Wolfgang

I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

Siliconmotion video driver no longer working

Updating xorg broke the siliconmotion video driver - the new module no longer works with my hardware - an asus laptop. I have to use vesa at 16. In previous incarnations I was able to fall back or build direct from xorg but the previous versions no longer work either (after also updating my desktop which uses nv - I believe it is because of the new hotplugging because the old nv module would start but would lose all input functionality) (but I see you actually now support the nv module so I no longer have to build my own).
I have tried building from scratch but siliconmotion-1.6.0 does not function with my asus

I am so sorry you guys couldn't get through to me. you can email, [email protected] anytime for full support.
On the issue of Lion, and the XLR8 devices?
Apple did change a number of items, that limited the XtraView's ability (this is the one, with the built-in audio on the older 2820 chipset). Audio, just won't work in 64-bit mode.
The easy workarounds are to boot into 32-bit mode (hit 3 and 2) on boot.
To check if you are in 64 bit mode, go to the System Profiler (Apple Menu > More Info > Software (left pane) and see if the 64 bit is loaded.
If in 32-bit mode you are still having an issue, please check that you are running XLR8 version 1.4.6. You can download new versions at http://XLR8.com.
You can email XLR8 for a free audio cable (Mac sound jack to RCA audio), or for $25, XLR8 can upgrade you to the new 2860 device that works in 64-bit mode.
Now, that hopefully, we have you working again... about Daystar. Actually XLR8 has always developed, built and shipped the devices. Daystar just had a bigger name and was an Apple Authorized Reseller. But, the Apple relationship ended, and Daystar closed.
XLR8, LLC will continue to support the devices and we will continue to provide great products and good support (sorry, we are a small company, and due to limited time... I can only provide "good" support. Maybe one day, it will be great.)
We are expanding the website at XLR8.com. You are always welcome to provide feedback and suggestions.
Oh, and lastly, thanks to Thiago, for sending me an email, and alerting me to the thread...
Gary,

Super Drive no longer working- Help required

My new MPB's optical drive has stopped working.
I was mid way through a burn when it started making some unusual noises and eventually the burn failed and ejected the blank DVD.
I have had this computer for no more than 3 months and used the drive itself no more that 15 times.
Since the burn failure the drive will no longer recognize any CD or DVD I insert into the drive.
Any advise will be most appreciated.
Thank you
Metso

Since your Mac is just 3 months old, you are still under Apple's one year warranty. Your best bet would be to contact Apple about having the optical drive replaced under warranty.
Good luck!

La Cie Porsche Design External Hard Drive no longer working with Time Machine since update to Yosemite.

My La Cie Porsche Design External Hard Drive USB 3.0 is no longer working with Time Machine. Is Yosemite the cause? How do I fix?

Can you see the drive in Disk Utility? If so, try selecting it and using the Mount button in the top menu. You can also run repair disk and repair permissions.

LaCie external DVD drive no longer working

I recently upgraded the firmware on my LaCie DVD +/-RW burner so it would work reliably with a G5 running Tiger. It worked fine with that machine for several months. Unfortunately, it no longer works on my G5 that's running 10.3.9. I've downloaded and installed the latest updates from LaCie to no avail. The blue power light comes on but that's it. The tray only opens with a paperclip, and disks don't spin up. Any suggestions?

Hey, I would first try to take out the drive and "clean" the contacts on the drive to ensure it's connected. I'm pretty sure you can find videos/guides on how to take out the drive (shouldn't be too hard), there should probably be few screws that you would need to take out and then simply pull out the drive. If it's still not recognized, you can probably order the same model drive from amazon/ebay. All you would have to do is to simply put in the new drive in.

Xerox workcentre 7535 print driver no longer works with Mavericks 10.9.2

Unable to change any settings in Print dialog pane for Xerox WorkCentre 7535. Xerox says its an Apple software problem. They have issed three revised drivers since Apple released Mavericks OS-X 10.9.2. Not only does latest driver (4-11-14) not work, their universal driver for Mavericks no longer works. Anybody else trying to print on a Xerox device?

I think I solved this. Our Canada office has a WorkCentre 7556, and it was having the same problem(s).
Here's what I found and did:
Log into the printer's web interface. Go to the Properties tab. On that page, expand General Setup. Then click Configuration Report.
Find and click the link for Machine Hardware. In that box, find a line item for Finisher Type. Scribble down or remember your finisher type (ours was Xerox Professional Finisher).
On the Mac in question, go to System Preferences, Printers & Scanners. Find your Xerox printer, click Options & Supplies, and then the Options button. Now on our machine, from a default installation, the finisher was set to OCT (Offset Catch Tray) and was greyed out. Changing this to the correct finisher mentioned above made all of our errors go away.
Cheers, good luck, and um, I guess mark as Answered if this works for you please?

Dreamweaver sites on external drive no longer working

Just started having this problem. Sites I previsously created and store on an external drive no longer allow me to edit styles from the CSS Designer and running link checker show all files as being broken. I've deleted caches and even completely reinstalled Dreamweaver CC but nothing. If I move the files to the local drive and update the site settings in Dreamweaver, everything works fine. I have a Lacie 1TB Raid drive...been using this setup for more than a year and have never had a problem before. I ran disk utility and found no errors on the drive. Any ideas?

You may have the same issue that many have had since updating iTunes to version 11: Movies added to iTunes since the upgrade are not appearing on your Apple TV.
If that is the case, here is the solution:
In ITunes, find the movies that your Apple TV isn't seeing.
Highlight them all.
Use Command-I to open the Info window.
Click on Options.
If "Media Kind" is set to "Home Video," change it to "Movie."
Unfortunately, iTunes now thinks any newly-added movie it doesn't immediately recognize is a Home Video until you change it.
Hope this helps.
