CD/DVD drive mac book pro

I tried to put a cd in and it just instantly spat it out. i thought it was the cd but it worked on my friends macbook pro. I watched a movie on it not two weeks ago and it worked perfectly now it doesnt even take anything. any suggestions??

Hi,
I think your Superdrive is toast, maybe because you (or someone else) picked up your MBP by its SuperDrive corner with one hand while a CD or DVD was inside. Happened to me once, my girlfriend was the culprit, and after that, the drive would take any support for a quick spin, then spit it out. Tried every tack (Q-tips, compressed air, cleaning CD, etc...), nothing would work. I finally sent it back under Apple Care, and they changed the drive.

  • Not Recognizing External Hard Drive Mac Book Pro

    Good Day!
    I have a 2010 Mac Book Pro that I just downloaded the neww OS X Lion for the upgrades ext... I haven't had any other problems exept that before I downloaded the Lion my Mac would recognize my external hard drive (WD passport).  And now it doesn't, I even go to the finder and it doesn't even show up under "computer"  to make sure there isn't anything wrong with my external hard drive I plugged it into another mac that doesn't have Lion and it would work.  Please Help because my external drive has everything 1TG of everything...
    Thanks!!!

    Hi,
    I had already checked in Finder's Pref's for the check mark for External Disks and it is checked.  That is for external disks to show up on your desk top. 
    So still no luck for my Mac to reconize my external hard drive with this new OS X Lion Program.  Should I just take my computer into the apple store?
    Thank you!!

  • Cannot get disc out of disc drive - Mac Book Pro - not showing the disc on finder and eject button is not working

    I inserted a disc into the disc drive but it did not start up.  It is not showing in Finder.  When I press the eject key nothing happens.  Can someone tell me how to get the disc out of the disc drive?

    Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:

    If Windows doesn’t install properly
    Verify that you’re using an original, full version of the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, or Windows 8 Pro.
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons appear on your screen.

Select the Windows installation disk icon, then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on your keyboard to start the installer.

    IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies.   The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player  The dvd move was made/burned on a PC.   Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • My mac book pro does not start but has error message with a question mark on screen. took it in and was told probably the hard drive as could not reconize it so bought new one but still not connecting.what do i do

    My mac book pro does not connect but shows an error message with a question mark on the screen.I took it to a retailer that said it was not reconizing the hard drive.He said i needed a new hard drive but it may be something else as well but he was sure a new hard drive would fix it.So putting faith in someone who deals with them i purchased a new hard drive to find it was still not working although he said the computer did know reconize the hard drive and i may have to send it away to get it checked .After already paying 120 pounds for a new hard drive and they wanting another 80.00 pounds to diagnose it i am a little sceptical.
    That's why i am interested on anyone's help.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that your Mac detects your hard disk, but the problem is that your new hard disk doesn't contain any operating system, so your Mac doesn't find any bootable partition and you see a question mark.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, just install Mac OS X. If the hard disk isn't prepared to install Mac OS X, you will have to erase it using "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
