CD Won't Stay Mounted

I can't seem to get my audio cds to mount correctly the first time I insert them. I will insert them and after a second it will mount and show that it is accessing gracenote but then it unmounts and my drive acts like there is nothing in it. Then I insert it again and it instantly mounts and works fine.

I just got my machine a few days ago from Apple Store. I have been trying to import a few cd's and I ran into this problem. My machine is completely updated to the latest versions for OSX and iTunes.
I have read all the posts in these forums for this topic. I am a bit taken back that there is no fix.
I will give my 2 cents and a work around.
I went in and changed my options for iTunes:
Advanced > Importing > On CD Insert:: Import CD and Eject
After I did this the problem is gone now for 20 + cd's. So I think it is an iTunes problem keeping the CD mounted.
I am going to use my support and give them a call and express my disgust with this issue!
Thanks for all the help people

IPod Nano won't stay mounted

Hi this is my first post and hope someone can help. My problem is that when I attach my nano to my computer it will mount on the desktop, open iTunes check and see that it is update, which it is and then it umounts from the desktop within a few seconds. It remains in the iTunes window so I can access the nano preferences but then when I hit apply it searches for the nano and since it is not on the desktop says it can not find it. The iPod is not in the finder window but shows up in the system profiler as being attached to the USB. I am up to date on iTunes and the nano updater says it is up to date running 2006-06-28. I have tried everything such as restarting, using different USB ports, etc... to no avail. When I run the updater it stays mounted on the desktop but I can not acces the preferences. I really need to change my nano preferences as it will not update my new playlists because prefs, are set to update only the checked ones and I can not changes this and apply it if the nano won't stay mounted. Can anyone help? Much thanks

This happened to me when using iTunes 6. Is that the version you are using? I was never able to find a complete answer to the "Preferences not saved" error or any knowledge base articles with an official explanation. I did however find a workaround in a previous discussion. Connect your iPod and in the short time that it is still visible on the desktop just as iTunes is opening, go to Preferences>iPod and tick "enable disk use". You have to be quick but it can be done. Once it is enabled you will be able to go back and update the preferences such as manual update etc. and and you'll not get the error.
If you are using iTunes 7 try the same technique only tick "enable disk use" in the Summary tab before your iPod unmounts.

IPod won't stay mounted to computer, can't load any content

I've reset it, tried to repair it with disk utility, and it still won't stay mounted. Can't put any content on it.
iPod classic 160 GB
Mid-2010 MacBook Pro running 10.8.5
iTunes 11.1

Koopie, the bad news is: that's not at all an uncommon problem with the iPod Touch. I have the same problem at work. We have no problems at all connecting to our Wi-Fi with Dell, Sony, HP, Asus, Palm or any other devices except two: my Touch and my boss's iPhone. Apple has the most finicky Wi-Fi known to man.
But enough ranting. The first thing you'll want to do is to check to be sure that your router's firmware is up-to-date. That may just solve your problem; it does in some cases. I've also found that turning the Touch's Wi-Fi off and on sometimes helps. You may have to do it four or five times to get a reconnect. You might also check your router's instructions to see if there is a way to reset it by going in through your web browser, which may be more convenient than pulling the plug.

My external harddrive won't stay mounted in Lion

Hi gang!
I just upgraded my OS to Lion and I really like it for the most part. What I don't like is that for some reason my external HD keeps "unmounting" itself. I'm running 10.7.1 and my external drive is a WD 500GB drive using FAT32 formatting and connected via USB 3.0. The drive will mount for a short period of time, then the error screen pops up saying its been "improperly removed". Any suggestions would be awesome, I keep a lot of work files on my external drive.
Thanks!

I just solve the problem after 45 minutes with the lervel 3 WD support. You have to return to firmware 1.02.06 since the 1.02.10 version has a network card driver error and in some configurations (a lot more) the disk just stay connected for a couple of minutes. To do that you have to manually return to old firmware but WD do not has the file as public so you have to call them. One way to stay connected a bit more is making a permanent ping to the disk.

External HD won't stay mounted

I have a WD Passport (1TB) that's been exhibiting some strange behavior lately. When its plugged in, after a couple of minutes an error message will appear that says:
The disk was not ejected properly. If possible, always eject a disk before unplugging it or turning it off.
Which is a normal enough error in itself, but it starts to get weird immediately as the error appears. Its almost as if the drive is automatically unmounted, however OSX appears to think that the drive is still mounted. This causes Finder to lock up and the mac has to be hard-booted. I've tried to get the drive to successfully mount on several different computers here in our office and different versions of OSX, to no avail. I've also been able to quickly get a Verify Disk in via Disk Utility, which says that the drive is fine.
Has anyone had any previous experience with something like this in the past? What else should I try to diagnose the problem? While I'm getting plenty of google results for the error message mentioned above, nothing's popping up quite yet that matches the specific symptoms of the drive unmounting and whatnot.

Tried this and it definitely had an impact on the operation of my MacBook, but in the end, no change. I deleted the preference file and restarted a couple times prior to trying to open my external HD, but same result.
I also simply pulled the pref file and left it on the dektop, restarted, and same deal. Oh well. Thanks for the suggestion. Any other ideas?

CD or DVD won't stay mounted

Last night, I was moving some music from a CD to i tunes, when the music started to sort of skip (the CD was pretty scratched so, I didn't give it much thought), then the CD would spin then stop and then spin again like the drive was in some kind of loop.
The CD would not eject until I restarted and now, the drive will not except any CD or DVD. The disks pop out right after I slip them in.
This sounds expensive. Could it be a software thing?
The Mac Mini is about a year old and the drive has worked like a champ up to this point.

Why won't my FireWire HD partitions stay mounted on my desktop?

Why won't my FireWire HD partitions stay mounted on my desktop? I recenly purchased a quad interface 500GB external HD from OWC (which is connected via FW800). I then partitioned it for TIME MACHINE, some room for a backup of my primary HD, and partitions for boot disks for LION, SNOW LEOPARD, & TIGER. All partitions seem to be OK as well as the backup I made of my primary HD (using SuperDuper). My Energy Saver prefs are set to sleep the display in 3 minutes and the Hard Drive in 15 minutes. I fried one of my processors on the old Quicksilver by setting the Hard Drive sleep to NEVER. Don't want to make that mistake again on this Mac Mini, but I'm afraid that it is these prefs that are causing the primary internal HD to sleep, and at the same time lose my new external HD. Mysteriously, I have a SimpleTech 160GB HD with two partitions connected via USB2.0 and these NEVER dissappear.
Anyone have some helpful advice? It would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it's now Sunday, around 11:00am. What I have discovered has nothing at all to do with Energy Saver prefs as I had previously suspected. This morning, after having unchecked the box that would "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible," I woke the computer and discovered that once again all partitions of my new external hard drive were no longer mounted. So I thought of trying something new.
Because I believed it to be insignificant, I failed to mention that this hard drive has two FireWire 800 ports. One is connected directly to the Mac Mini, the other I used to daisy chain a connection to my iSight camera (FireWire 400) using a bilingual cable. I wondered if the daisy chain might be causing a problem somehow. Incidentally, the iSight camera launches iChat whenever I turn the new HD off and then on again. An action which has always caused the missing partitions to mount. iChat launches even if the aperture cover is closed (turns camera off). Note: connected this way the iSight camera has been working fine.
So this is what I tried next. I simply unplugged the bilingual cord connecting my iSight camera. The first time the computer went to sleep, when I woke it again all the partitions were right where they should be. So I took the next step by once again checking the box next to "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible.” Now the Energy Saver prefs are once again set exactly the way they were before I bought this new drive. I left for church at 7:45 and returned around 11:00am. Again, when I woke the computer all partitions of the new drive were exactly where they should be.
So, problem gone. But now how do I connect my iSight camera? And why is it causing all the partitions for the external drive to drop from the desktop every time the computer sleeps?
I have a son in the Navy and use the iSight to video chat when he is overseas. Is there something obviously wrong about the way I had the iSight camera connected? I would certainly welcome any help or suggestions.
Thanks in advance,

Ipod won't stay connected to my pc, but works on others

So, I've looked everywhere online to try and solve this issue, and I'm wondering if it is a software compat issue.
I just got an ipod touch 4g from my buddy, works fine, but will not stay connected to my pc, works great on my fiance's dell, but seems my pc won't play with it, it just recconects instantly after about 6-7 minutes it will start charging, but that's all it will do, won't be mounted, won't even exist on the pc, is there something I can try to fix this?
my Pc, is using a 2ghz phenom x4, nvidia 590 SLI chipset on an asus m2n-SLI.

iTunes would open, and it would say error 9, or error 1611, I do apologize for missing that bit, looking up the error, it seems usb related, but all my other USB devices and mp3s work fine on my USB hubs, no matter which I use for the ipod, it does it.
Edit: forgot to mention that it ONLY saw it in recovery mode, and everytime I would try to restore it would give those same errors, had to restore it on my fiances PC this morning.

Highlighting text won't stay on

When I highlight text it often won't stay on, and when it does and I try to move the selection, it just beeps at me and sits there. What's up?

Ok. In System Preferences > General, Apple applies the term “Highlight” instead of “Selection” color.
In Pages v5(.2), I select a passage of text and it reflects my first sentence color setting. You can leave this alone and visit any menu or side panel setting, and the selection in the body text will remain selected. It will remain selected, if you leave the Pages document and click in another application. When you return to this Pages document, click anywhere but the body text to regain document focus. The next click in the body text should be a click/hold/drag on the selection to move it, or a press of the space bar to remove the selected text. This is mouse-based behavior.
If you are using a Trackpad, whether built-in or external, you must be very careful not to brush against it while in your Pages document, or your selection focus will be lost.
I am using the above Pages on OS X 10.9.4 and do not experience a loss of selection, or an inability to drag/move or remove the selection. I have tried with both mouse and Trackpad following the preceding guidelines and cannot reproduce what you have stated.

New Pioneer DVR-110 installed, "patchburned", BUT drive won't stay closed.

Have had some good advice on how to intall a new DVD/CD drive, but after installing a New Pioneer DVR-110 (I thought succesfully) on my G4, and downloading Patchburn for Panther, the DVD drive now won't function as the computer keeps ejecting or opening the drive tray.
After installing the drive, I installed Patchburn, and Toast did recognize the drive. I then tried to verify disc permissions on the computer and it kept getting hung up during repair/verify saying it lost connection with the drive manager. Tried Onyx to repair/verify permissions and it too gets hung up. (Had to force quit)
Any advice on how to get the drawer of the DVD drive to stay closed and what else I need to do to get it working?... Alas I can not even reinstall my original OSX software now as I can't boot from the disc drive since it won't stay closed.
Thanks, Rob
G-4 Quicksilver Mac OS X (10.3.9)

You can verify the closeness by opening the empty drive door with the KB and then hold the door open and close drawer with the KB.

My Itunes will not stay open, I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open

My Itunes will not stay open. Everytime I open it it just gives me a wait signal and then closes down on it's own. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still won't stay open.... what should I do now?

Try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

2. Uninstall antivirus using removal tools (Kapersky)
3. Registry trick as
JSB43211 suggested, backup your registry before perform this
1. Open Regedit as Administrator
2. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\ key.
3. If you are on a 64-Bit machine, browse to the "Windows x64" sub-key (else "Windows NT x86")
4. Under the "Print Processors" sub-key DELETE ALL THE SUB-KEYS EXCEPT "winprint" key
5. Start the Print Spooler service.
6. Test to see if you can Add a printer.

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...
