CD not being recognized by MacBook

Hello!
I recently purchased the "Glee Christmas Album" (don't judge) from Target, and I was excited to get it home and put it onto iTunes. Anyways, I put it into my MacBook, the right way and everything, because I know how to import CD's since I have done it quite a few times on my MacBook before. However, for this CD, it'll make the sound it usually does when the disc drive is working, and then after about 15 seconds it will just spit the disc back out without even recognizing it on the computer! This is very confusing & frustrating, considering I had a few other recently-purchased CD's that worked just fine on here, and now this? Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the disc not to recognize and how to resolve the issue?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem with the same Glee CD (be proud to be a Gleek!)
I think it might have something to do with the disc being a short recording. If you look at the back, the disc seems to have two different finishes. I think because only a small part of it is "written" on, it is not reading the whole disc. Anyone have a solution?

  • Canon G9 not being recognized by MacBook Pro

    I'm having some issues with a Canon G9 not being recognized by the particular MacBook i have to use. When i connect the G9 via USB (obviously with a good cable and camera switched on) neither Image Capture nor iPhoto recognize it. I have tried connecting the camera to a bunch of other macs (Powerbooks, latest MacBook, same model of Macbook and system as the one I'm using), they all didn't have any trouble recognizing the camera. My MaProxy-Connection: keep-alive
    Cache-Control: max-age=0
    ook can see any other camera I have tried without trouble... I'm using 10.5.6...
    The System Profiler does actually see something being connected via USB, but it only shows up as "Composite-Device/0x04a9(Canon Inc.)".
    Any ideas what might cause the issue?

    Updated information ... these card do get read on an older iMac, circa 2010 or so, also running 10.8.4. For some reason, they're not being read by the internal SD reader on the macbook pro. Odd.

  • External Hard Drive Not Being Recognized By MacBook

    My Toshiba external hard drive (1TB, brand new) does not show up anywhere on my MacBook Pro (Also brand new). The light on the external hard drive comes on so it's not a connection issue, like the cord being broken. But nothing happens when I plug it into my MacBook, aside from the light coming on. It doesn't pop up on the desktop or in disk utilities or finder. I don't have my old PC laptop any more, all my files from that computer are on this hard drive and all I want to do is transfer them to my MacBook. And even though I don't want to lose any of my files, I can't even erase anything on the external hard drive to reformat it because it's like...not talking to the MacBook...

    Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
    If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
    If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
    If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive.

  • Optical Drive not being recognized by Macbook

    I tried inserting a dvd into my Macbook today and it makes a clicking noise (something it used to do when it still played dvd videos), then it spits the dvd or music cd out. For a time it was not recognized in my system profiler, but I just checked it again and it was there, however, it still spits out the cd/dvd I stick in.
    Also, when I try to open DVD Player it says, "There was an initialization error. A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012]"
    Any ideas? I'm up-to-date on my OS and drivers, to my knowledge.

  • My login password is now not being recognized on MacBook Pro which is running on Mac OSx version 10.6.8?

    I Was able to log-in just fine a few days ago. It recognizes the password but just goes back to the login page.

    Boot to the 10.6 Installer/Utilities DVD. Do not Install. Wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility off a Menu.
    Since you are not booted from the Hard drive, you can do a Disk Utility ( Repair Disk).
    Then try again.

  • SD Card not being recognized by macbook air. what do i do?

    I have a Nikon D5100 and i was taking some photos and videos outside. so like any other person, i put in the sd card into the slot, but it doesn't recongnize the sd card! this is really annoying me. also, the camera-to-computer usb isn't working either! it was just working last week so what's the problem?

    Another thing that might help is to open the Image Capture app.
    It is in your Applications folder.  You might try opening the app yourself, then inserting the SD card.

  • IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

    Hello,
    After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
    What should I do now?

    Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
    What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting? Did he give you the cable that was originally included witht the Shuffle? I ask because if you are using a 3G/4G cable it will not work with the 2G Shuffle.

  • IPhone not being recognized by iTunes

    My iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes. I have iPhone original version with the latest software OS update. The phone was reset because of unrelated problems, and I need to connect to iTunes for it be operational! iTunes 9.1 on my computer... my iPad syncs with no problem but the iPhone is not even showing up as a device on the iMac or MacBook!
    I have followed the steps on the Apple Support website, but the problem persists. What to do next?
    thanks

    Your computer detail provided indicates you have a Mac and the link you provided is for Windows - at least for the software conflicts portion the link went directly to, although some of the troubleshooting steps are similar.

  • Registrations for certain software are not being recognized by my Imac.

    Registrations for software that require web based verifications are not being recognized by my iMac 27 2010 10.6.8 
    Included in the list of software that I have been using for some over a year now is FCE 4, Bias Peak, and Sibelius, and iRealb from the app store. 
    This is not a new issue although with the latest security update installed last week, the problem has been exacerbated.
    I had the problem last year but found that if I shutdown (not just restarted) and then powered up again all my registrations would be recognized. Now my workaround no longer seems to work. I actually went for about 5 months with no problems and then occasionally I would have the shutdown/power up until last week.
    I mirror the same software on my Macbook Pro 10.6.8 and have had no problems.
    Thanks for any help.
    Michael

    I can add Kindle reader to the software list now. I used it last week and this week the cloud didn't recognize my computer.
    Also on the iRealb app downloaded from the Apple app store I get a dialog that says the software was purchased on another computer (which it was, my laptop) and asks me to verify with my iTunes ID. I try to verify and it is unsuccessful, can not verify your computer.

  • My battery is not being recognized, tried the updates..

    So I've tried all of the software and battery updates, still getting the black x in the battery icon. I've also tried the battery from an identical (working) Macbook in my computer, still not being recognized. The battery itself is lighting up to full power, so what I'm wondering is...is it really my battery that needs to be replaced? Or could it be a different issue?
    I bought my Macbook in 2008, so people are telling me the battery is old and needs to be replaced, but what worries me is a different battery already failed, so I don't want to waste my money if the battery isn't the problem.

    Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
    Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
    It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.
    --Sam
    P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

  • IPads not being recognized when using apple configurator software

    I have an iPad cart with 25 iPad's. I am using a MacBook Air and the apple configurator software to try to manage the iPad's. The problem is, only 21 of the 25 iPads will show up in the apple configurator "prepare" section. All of the iPads are not being recognized. When I use a MacBook Pro all 25 iPad's will show. So the problem seems to be with the MacBook Air and/or Apple Configurator. Any suggestions? We have 30 carts total with some having up to 30 iPads so I am trying to find a fix for this.  

    This seems to be an issue related to the new 2013 MacBook Air models.  I've seen it pop up a few times now, and the common factor is always a 2013 MacBook Air.
    A "solution" doesn't seem to exist yet.  The workaround at this point would be to either use any older Mac to do the syncing, or only connect and sync half of the devices at a time.

  • Firewire devices not being recognized by MBP

    Hello
    I just purchased a MacBook Pro which I have a 20" cinema display connected to. I have an external Firewire drive and an iFire plugged into the Firewire ports on the back of Cinema Display but they are not being recognized by my MBP. If I plug the external drive directly into the Firewire port on the MBP it is recognized but is not when connected to the Cinema Display. Anyone have any ideas? I just migrated from a G5 and these same devices were connected to the Cinema Display then.
    Thanks

    Hey dmar713,
    The iPod touch requires USB 2.0, check the speed of the USB port.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307091
    If the USB port is not causing the issue, it may be an application conflict.
