CD/DVD Drive Not working on iMac using Snow Leopard

Can anyone help me with a possible solution as to why my CD/DVD Drive on my iMac (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8) has suddenly stopped recognizing any inserted discs?
It makes a noise - as if it's trying to read them - but then ejects them! Although my iMac is quite old, the actual CD/DVD Drive was only replaced a couple of years ago!
I'd be grateful of any help, alternatively a rough idea of price for either replacing the drive (if it has gone to the great Apple Drive in the sky) or a plug-in removable drive? Thanks

Try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and PRAM OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
sometimes it helps. You can also try a cleaning disc or blowing some compressed air into the mechanism to get rid of any dust that may be affecting it. The bottom line is that the slot loading SuperDrive, mounted sideways and exposed to the heat generated inside an imac, just doesn't last long. You're better off with an external drive, LG makes good ones for less than $30 http://www.amazon.com/LG-GE24NU30-Super-Multi-External-DVD-Writer/dp/B007WLP0BY/ ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1413369637&sr=8-20&keywords=lg+super+multi+drive

  • Dvd drive not worked properly

     i have  hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action  till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my  dvd drive that's all.

    tcrite,
    Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
    Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

    I'll try your suggestions....Thanks!
    Recently, I try to Re-install Snow Leopard, unfortunately, still unsuccessful.
    The Mybook Icon only appears if it is connected via USB.
    After using Firewire and getting used to the speed...USB 2.0 is like a Corvette racing a Veyron...lol
    I am not upset on these issues, it is normal for new OS to have these problems...unfortunately, even OSX is not invincible.
    I'm sure Apple/Steve is on every Programers A*s for a solution.
    I still think APPLE'S OSX will still be the future of Operating system!
    For now, still waiting for the patch and hopefully soon.
    Suggestions are still Welcome for a Solutions:-)

    You have started this annoying discussion.
    I don't have any problems with my OS instead of you.
    I have already told you what to do, if you have no idea how to do that just go and buy yourself another support subscription from your mac support.
    The missing class is not available from any code-source or loader in the system. check that.
    what version of JAVA do you have in your fancy OS? most of the time upgrade java to the latest version will fix the issues.
    Update java from sun website not from another mac tore.

  • Error code 39 - CD/DVD drive not working properly

    Satellite C55D-5170 came with Win 8 and the first automatic software update upgraded it to Win 8.1. 
    I believe this is the first time I have tried to access the DVD drive but I had successfully used the flash drive.  The DVD drive is not recognized.  The Device Manager, under DVD/CD-ROM drives shows the yellow triangle in front of TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU-208FB.  Clicking on that shows the following:
    Location:  Bus Number 2,  Target Id 0,  LUN 0
    Device status
    Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.  The driver may be corrupted or missing.  (Code 39)
    {Unable to Load Device Driver}
    %hs device driver could not be loaded
    Error Status was 0x%s
    I looked through these forums and found that this Code 39 is frightfully common and does not seem to have an answer.  I went to Microsoft's site and using their fix it, but nothing changed.  I tried to update the driver but got the message saying I already had the current driver.  I uninstalled the driver and rebooted the laptop and the driver was reinstalled but nothing changed, still not recognizing the DVD drive.
    I need a solution so that I can install a WiFi router.  It would be nice to play some CDs as well.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide a solution.

  • External DVD drive not working with Lombard G3 333

    I have an external DVD drive that worked when I had 10.4, but had to reformat HD and now only have 10.3.9, and now the DVD drive does not work with DVDs, it will work with CDs and CDR media, but not with DVD media. My Lombard did not come with DVD originally and I am using a PC Card (Macintosh PowerBook DVD-Video PC Card For PowerBook G3 Series) and it worked before with 10.4, but not with 10.3, any ideas? Also have tried with 9.x, no go either. Any help would be appreciated.
    Also, would it be difficult to add a DVD logic board to my Lombard?
    Joey

    xamdu,
    I am reading and replying to this post after first replying to your other post, so a few of my previous comments are redundant.
    Regarding the FireWire(?) USB 2.0(?) DVD drive: It is possible Tiger supported your DVD drive but Panther does not. I would give PatchBurn for Panther a try:
    http://patchburn.de/download.html
    If the above is unsuccessful, take a look at this workaround:
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040330171655882
    You can swap logic boards but it does require a lot of disassembly.
    Since no version of OSX supports Apple DVD Player, I am assuming you have a third-party player like VLC installed to watch movies. If this is the case, the DVD Decoder PC card is not necessary. If booted to 9.x, you of course will need the decoder PC card but I did not know 9.x's Apple DVD Player supported external drives.

  • I have a very old mac and need to upgrade to snow leopard to update my itunes, my disc drive is not working can i download snow leopard without a disc?

    I have an old mac version 10.5.8  I need to update to snow leopard and my disc drive isn't working... Can I download snow leopard without a disc?

    Snow Leopard is only available on disk. Furthermore, even if you had a working disk drive, you may not be able to install Snow Leopard anyway, depending on just how "old" your Mac is. It must have an Intel processor to run Snow Leopard (Macs with Intel processors were first made in 2006), among other requirements.

  • If I use iCloud on my iPad, will it change my MobileMe functions like iWeb on my iMac? My iMac uses Snow Leopard.

    If I use iCloud on my iPad, will it change my MobileMe functions on my iMac which uses Snow Leopard. In other words will it disable functions like iWeb on my iMac?

    As a follow-up . . . I downloaded and installed Virtual Box, purchased a legal issue of Windows XP (not easy since Microsoft doesn't sell it anymore), installed it, installed Quicken 2009 in "the Box" and then the problems began. Trying to migrate my Quicken data files from my laptop PC to the Virtual Box Quicken program turned out to be the most frustrating thing I've been through for quite awhile. Error after error without any explanation of what I was doing wrong (or not doing) kept me scratching my head and re-reading the VB manual for nearly two days. Today I finally had success and all three of my Quicken accounts are comfortably residing in my iMac and working perfectly (so far . . . knock, knock).
    It was well worth the effort because now all I need to do is open VB (about 3 seconds), click open Windows (about 5 seconds) and open Quicken ( <5 more seconds) and I'm ready to go to work.
    Thanks for the advice typod360 . . . it's much apprecoiated.

  • DVD drive won't accept disks since Snow Leopard upgrade

    I just upgraded my Macbook to Snow Leopard, and now I can't insert disks into my optical drive. It just won't accept them. Help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    No guarantee this will work but it's a start.

  • Downgrade using Snow Leopard install DVD does not work on iMac 27"

    I have an iMac 27" (SMC version 1.54f36) that I wish to downgrade. I bought a 5-user Snow Leopard license. Now I'm trying to re-install from the DVD, but the computer won't boot on the DVD.
    If I run the installer from the desktop, the installation starts, but when the computer reboots, it gets stuck. No alterations is done on the system disk, so I can hold down the Alt key and choose to boot from the system disk and I'm still on 10.6.5. For the moment I cannot find the discs supplied with the iMac, but surely the SL install DVD should work?? I've used it once before to do a clean SL install (I believe the iMac I have came with Leopard).
    The version on the SL install DVD is 10.6 (2Z691-6558-A)
    The reason for downgrading is that my Pro Apps (DVDSP and FCP) got a bit shaky when I updated to 10.6.5.

    If you have a 27" iMac, it had to ship with Snow Leopard installed. See Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs to confirm this, & Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac for why you should not try to downgrade to an earlier version.
    If the version on your SL install DVD is 10.6, then it is an early version & will not work with your iMac. The current retail product version installs 10.6.4 & should work if your iMac is the "Late 2009" model. It probably will not work if your iMac is the "Mid 2010" model.
    You need your grey system discs. They should be kept accessible wherever you use your iMac. If you have lost them, contact Apple about getting a replacement set.

  • External DVD drive not working

    Need some help with this one:
    My sister-in-law has an iMac G4 1.25Ghz 17” LCD USB 2.0 with 10.4.11.
    The internal DVD-ROM CD-RW died awhile back so she purchased a Sony external DVD-ROM CD-RW USB 2.0 to take its place.
    Everything was working fine.
    Recently, she had some bad sectors on her HD (5 yrs old anyhow), so I purchased her a new HD, installed it and while I had the case open, I removed the broken internal DVD-ROM CD-RW. Installed a fresh 10.4.11
    System profiler can see the USB Sony DVD-ROM CD-RW, but when a disk is installed, or when I open Apple DVD player, it says a disk drive cannot be found.
    The DVD can be seen on the desktop.
    System prefs is configured to open Apple DVD player when a DVD is inserted.
    I hooked the new Sony drive to my setup (iMac G5 2.0) and the drive works fine when I put in a DVD.
    Would removing the old broken DVD-ROM drive from the G4 cause the new external USB Sony not to work??
    Any suggestion? I checked Sony’s site and there is no d/l’s for the drive.
    Thanks,
    --Bob Aldridge

    Hey Bob,
    My understanding of this is that when you install the OS there is like a "shake hands" with the DVD-ROM chip on the internal ATA bus by the installer. The installer then installs/enables the necessary components to play DVDs.
    Would removing the old broken DVD-ROM drive from the G4 cause the new external USB Sony not to work??
    If you remove that drive that's probably why you get the:
    "An installed DVD player cannot be found" error.
    I did not re-apply any thermal compound on the heat pipes. Is the compound something I can get a Radio Shack?
    Here's the exact procedure from the 1.25 Service Manual:
    "This procedure requires the following tools:
    • Plastic stylus or plastic spatula to remove the old thermal paste
    • Plastic stylus or plastic spatula to spread the thermal paste
    • Thermal paste (922-4757)
    Part Location
    1. Thoroughly clean the original thermal film from the mating surfaces (circled below) of
    the bottom housing and thermal pipe. Use a plastic stylus to scrape the surfaces
    clean. Note: Do not use an abrasive material or liquid cleaner.
    2. Squeeze a ball of thermal paste onto the mating surfaces of the thermal pipe.
    3. Replace the bottom housing.
    Warning: The bottom housing has four torx screws that must be tightened to at least
    17 in.-lbs. Use a torque driver (service tool 076-0899) to ensure that the thermal pipe
    is firmly mated with the top base. If you do not have a torque driver, you must make
    sure the screws are tightened by hand FIRMLY, BUT NOT FORCIBLY.
    Failure to apply the thermal paste as described in this procedure, and failure to
    tighten the torx screws as directed, could cause the computer to overheat and
    damage internal components."
    I personally haven't had a 1.25 apart. The 700s and 800s I've had apart have a silicone pad like material or thick rubber compond on the heat pipes. The manuals for those machines refer to "thermal pads".
    I think you could use a thermal pad material like from Micro Center, Comp USA or Radio Shack.
    This is the Radio Shack stuff:
    http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2295074&cp=&sr=1&kw=therma lpad&origkw=thermalpad&parentPage=search
    If the thermal stuff was not too badly damaged you'll probably be OK but I'd probably run Temperature Monitor for a while just to make sure.
