CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognised by Satellite A100-01G

I have a Satellite A100-01G but the CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognised by the machine.
I have Vista ultimate as the O/S.
Please help
Thank you

Hi
Did you check in the device manager if the CD/DVD drive appears correctly?
Please check this!!!
As further action I would recommend removing the CD/DVD drive from the device manger a reboot the notebook.
The Windows OS should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
and reboot.
Good luck

CD/DVD drive is not being recognised in Satellite L755-15R

Hi, Our L750 - 15R CD/DVD drive is not being recognised in my computer, we have updated drivers and used Microsoft fix to no avail, we aren't getting any error messages.
Any help .would be most appreciated.

Delete the ODD in the device manager.
Then remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then restart the notebook and check if the CD/DVD drive would appear there.

My dvd drive has stopped working... put disk in...spits it out! Can anyone help?

My DVD drive has stopped working...put a disk in...spits it out. Can anyone help?

If you have a mid 2010 iMac, it is not PPC. PPC refers to pre-2006.
The 2010 is getting close to the age the PRAM battery might go, so that could be at issue.
The other issue is that the drive itself could only handle up to a certain speed DVD disc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP588
Slot-loading 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Writes DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 4x speed
Writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed
Writes DVD-RW discs at up to 6x speed and DVD+RW discs at up to 8x speed
Reads DVDs at up to 8x speed
Writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed
Writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed
Reads CDs at up to 24x speed
If any are near the top end, that could explain it.
Some copy-protected commercial DVDs that were recently released may have difficulty with Apple's drives.
Some non-region discs may have difficulty if you are outside of the country region the disc was made. Apple gives you several attempts to setup regions.
If you or anyone else stuck an SD card in the CD drive by accident, it would spit out discs regardless of what kind you put in. Good to try a commercial music CD you know worked before, or a commercial DVD you know worked before under 10.6.8.
I know for instance some Netflix DVDs won't read on my 10.9 installed iMac of the same age but will work on the 10.7 installed MacBook Pro that is newer. And switching back to 10.6 on the same iMac doesn't make a difference.
http://www.macsales.com/ offers external drives as well as internal replacement drives worldwide.
Bluray is not compatible.
Discs with sticky label may not work because they make the disc out of balance, and the sticky can get into the drive mechanism.
Barring anything else, it could have gotten dust accumulated. Bring it to the genius bar of an Apple Store if still baffled.

Upgraded itunes now my dvd drive has stopped working

I recently updated itunes and now my dvd driver has stopped working. My computer won't even recognize my dvd drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and uninstalled itunes several times. I've tried system restore. I've even looked for an older version of itunes and no luck. I took it into Fry's electronics and they fixed it but when I hooked up my ipod it stopped working again. I don't know what to do. This is really frustrating and I am just tired of itunes messing with stuff and constatly crating new versions. I've read other threads and have tried some of the suggestions with the registration which didn't work.
Can you please help me.

IPOD Touch has stopped being recognised on my computer

My iPOD Touch has linked to my iTunes sucessfully for a year or two until last week when it stopped being recognised. It is recognised when I plug it into my daughter's computer, and when I did this the iPOD software successfully updated.
Also my other daughter's iPOD Nano is recognised on MY computer.
I have re-installed iTunes and updated all USB drivers but problem persists.
The iPOD does appear as a connected peripheral on my computer.
I have tried re-setting/restoring the iPOD Touch. It has only gone into Restore mode a couple of times and iTunes starts downloading. However, nothing happens subsequently except an Apple Mobile Device has stopped working message appears.
Can anyone help?

I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
Any further help much appreciated.

CD/DVD drive has stopped playing or recording

i have only had this laptop a month and the drive has stopped playing or recording anything has anyone got a answer for that

Answer? When you ask such question to the best technician I think he cannot give you proper answer without checking your machine and see what can be wrong there.
Sorry but after reading this one sentence problem description I can just say bring it to the service.
If you want to have serious discussion here lease let us know which notebook model do you have.
Have you made some tests?
Have you tried to clean the lens?
Can you use bootable disc? Anything?

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

Ipod min has stopped being recognised

My ipod mini was installed on my windows XP and tunes bought/downloaded from itunes. Six months later and computer has stopped recognising ipod. Message says to "reset" or "restore" and only the restore option (with subsequent loss of songs) can be activated.
Need suggestions to ensure that original PC recognises ipod.
Posible cause of problem: ipod was connected to a Mac to download songs from a friend's itunes (no songs bought).
Thanks!

My DVD drive has stopped reading DVD's. Help?

I have owned my Pavilion S5165-uk for merely a few months now, and now my DVD Drive is refusing to read any DVD's. CD's are fine, but when you're a student such as myself, there's no better way of spending time that you're meant to be spending doing private study other than playing The Sims 3. I have tried multiple DVD's yet my drive is refusing to pick up anything other than CD's. I have tried every solution the HP troubleshooter has to offer and am beginning to feel a little stumped. Any Ideas?

Hello George_Clark, Many times when this occurs, the DVD laser has become faulty. These multi-purpose drives have a CD and a DVD laser. This might explain why the CD still works.
If this is the case, the only option would be to replace the CD\DVD drive.
I have been successful in cleaning the laser in a few DVD drives and managed to get them working again, but that is quite involved and not easily done, and after the hard work, may not be successful.
DVD drives can be purchased at inexpensive cost now, so if I suspected the drive to be faulty, I would just purchase a new one.

My phone has stopped being recognised by my computer help??

It's been a couple of days since I've synced my iPhone 5 and I've just tried and my pc doesn't even recognise my phone. I've tried rebooting my phone, using different USB ports and I've reinstalled iTunes but still no joy. I'm running windows 8 on my PC so I'm guessing thats the reason but I'm stumped as to what to do. Can anyone help??
Cheers

Well, Microsoft and Apple have not said they are fully supporting Windows 8, but as you know, it will work. You may need to uninstall iTunes again, but make sure you do it in accordance with this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 if you didn't do it that way before.
You can go into iTunes, Edit, Preferences, Devices and Reset the sync history. Other than that, there isn't much that can be done. The USB drivers for the phone are contained in the iTunes download.
