Cd mounts as folder and wont open

This just started when using a dual(windows mac) software cd.
a cd now will take forever to show up on desktop. However it shows up as a folder not a disc. Attempting to open the folder will start the spinning disk. Eventually the desktop disappears. Holding down eject will eject the disc and the desktop will reappear, however after this you can't log off or shut down except with power button. Disk utility will crash if opened. Just for fun I copied the folder that shows up. It contains the desktop.
A music cd shows up as folder titled music cd and does the same thing. Seems like some kind of software failure. Dvd's are fine.

Your problem is when the CD was burned the incorrect setting was used.
This is the reason the CD doesn't open and start to play.
When burning using windows and mac software there are normally 3 settings
AUDIO
DATA
VIDEO
If data was selected when it was burned, thats the reason it mounts as a folder and won't work.
Lastly welcome to the discussions.

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

  • FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

    Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

    For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

  • My keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    6 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Firefox closes and wont open on installing certain add ons

    I was using Firefox today and suddenly one of the add ons ( Download Helper ) started to be irresponsive. I tried to close firefox and reopen it and wont open. The icon flashes and goes away. I removed the app using Appzapper and downloaded and run a clean reinstall. Now, I went on to download all the add ons I used to have (Download Helper, Sage and few others) and restarted firefox and the symptoms reappeares. I tried to create a new profile and it didn't work. I used Safe mode to deactivate the plugins and it works, whenever one of them ( which I used to have before the problems ) is activated Firefox crashes. I went on to create a new Account and tried the same and it is working perfectly. So, can you tell me what I might have done wrong to cause this?

  • I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now.

    I tried to update Photoshop CS6 through CC, and PS got corrupted and wont open now. I uninstalled it, but now I can't re-install photoshop...installer just gives me the option to uninstall.
    This is my job, so very important .
    Thanks

    Download the CS6 installer from this link it should install on any machine the meets the specs. Even without a serial it should install as a trial version. If CS6 was activated on your system your CS6 credentials should still be there and when you install it should be activated. Then use CS6 menu Help>Updates to install the updated,  CS6 installs need to be updated.

  • Windows 7 says new firefox 4.0.1. is corrupt and wont open or run

    I have Windows 7 on my laptop. I had to 'restore' after an intel update wouldn't allow an old exe game to play. I had updated firefox and explorer meanwhile even though I never use Explorer. When I restored firefox wouldn't open at all. When I tried to download new firefox, windows said file corrupt and wouldn't open when open anyway was selected. I now have loaded old firefox from thumb drive and downloaded update to 4.0.1 but Windows still says file corrupt and wont open.

    i recently updated my OS to Mint 11 64-bit, which has FireFox 4.0.1, was plagued with annoying crashes for no apparent reason.
    today i seem to have discovered the problem, i hope.
    through the software manager i installed flashplugin-installer, after that i opened the browser, went to the add-ons section, disabled the Shockwave Flash 10.3 - d162, restart.
    hasn't crashed since, crossing my fingers

  • Recovered data show normal file size but icon is different and wont open

    We recently had an old lacie drive go bad. got dropped one too many times or whatever.. not our fault but its for an important client.. drive had 200 GB of files.. a lot of stuff.. we took it to recovery and returned 80GB.. not bad.. among the recovered files were the ones we wanted.. and more... more than half retained their full file name.. so we know... but usually the icon for audio file is two red and blue waves. when we saw the icons that we had tried to save on the main computer they were black and white. but they still portrayed
    37.6 MB.. like a full normal file... on the recovered data we see the same file size, but the icon is a blank paper with the corner folded over.. we try to import it to pro tools but it wont import.. i think it was recorded in logic but i doubt that matters.. its just audio... im sure the proper info is in there but we have to get the applications to recognize it.. we tried opening it in different apps, but it simply wont.. is it an extension problem? will restore fix it? how should i do it? i appreciate any help!

    i tried changing the extension. i changed the icon but it still wont open. the files are sd2f. apple info will not allow a test sounding. sample and bit rate are not displayed. i gotta get these to open up. what should i do?
