CDs not recognised and automatically ejected

I have a 3 month old mac mini, yesterday I was putting CDs onto iTunes and having left a Cd in for maybe 20 mins (it went on to iTunes okay), I changed the "when you insert a CD" iTunes Preferences setting from "Import" to "Import and Eject". Immediately after that it would no longer recognise any CD and just automatically ejects them after about 20 seconds or so. I've reset the iTunes Preferences back to "Import" done the basic checks, repaired permissions, reset the SMC, but still nothing. The machine is still under warranty but my reseller informs me that it can be picked up within 5 days and then looked at and repaired, so maybe a 2 week turn around - definitely NOT acceptable!. Any help would be much appreciated.

You might try going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and change the Music CD setting from Open in ITunes to ignore.
Probably best to quit iTunes before doing this.
Then insert a Music CD. It should show up on the desktop. Right-click on it and eject it.
Then go back to Sys Prefs' CDs & DVDs and reset Music CD back to Open iTunes.
Hopefully that will straighten things out. If not, there is probably just a "plist" file somewhere that needs to be deleted -- and some other poster will know what that is.

HP Laser M1522NF the USB device attached to this computer is not recognised and has Malfunctioned

Hi,
I have this printer HP Laser M1522nf.It was working fine till today.Suddenly it has started giveng this error
"HP Laser M1522NF the USB device attached to this computer is not recognised and has Malfunctioned"
This error is not on printer but on my computer when I connect the printer USB cable.I have 3 laptops all have winxp installed on them.I have tried connecting the printer with all laptops and they all give the same error with reference to connecting usb printer cable and Malfunctioning.
Appreciate your gracious advice and guidance in this regard,
Many thanks

Is this at an office and you are logged in not as an administrator?
If that's not the case, then the message maybe true, that it did malfunction, and need to be serviced. (assuming you already tried power cycle the printer, making sure doors/trays are all properly put in.

Try deleting that app, then see if you have the same issue.

Home DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It does play on an old Windows PC.

Hi. I have a MacBook and I am able to play purchased DVDs just fine. However when I try to play the home DVDs my brother burned for me on his new MacBook Pro it doesn't work. The DVD goes in, spins, does not mount, and then ejects. It plays on an old Windows PC though. Very strange. Help!

I know your frustration, so happy I still own a PC just so I can burn any DVD I might still need!
I was told at the Apple store to go buy an external l0l
How awesome is THAT ...Yah you just paid an INSANE amount of cash for a CRAP laptop so now go out and spend MORE money on getting an external DVD burner so your expensive laptop can burn/play DVD's
YAY APPLE... wtg at putting out a quality product!
PS so fantastic to see all the responses to your cry for HELP here!

By calling iPod tech support while you are under warranty. You also have 14 days to return it w/no questions asked for a replacement or your $$$ back.

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver!

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP Host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver! I use BlueHost webhosting that has a primary domain and I have several domains with that account (as sub-domains or folders on this server) - with past versions of Muse when uploading pages it simply opened an alert window to tell me (what I already know) that the website I was uploading does not point to the primary domain BUT NOW Muse tries to create a new separate folder in the root directory of the primary domain - completely ignoring the directory path I am giving it - useless! Why make these senseless changes to the program - and so often - very frustrating it is like amateur ware!.

Hi Stephen,
There are some issues with the upload to ftp via Muse, which the engineering team is aware of and those will be fixed in a future build of Muse. At this point the work around would be to export the html from Muse and then upload via some third party ftp client like filezilla.
I will recommend that you keep an eye on our release notes page to get more updates on it - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC

Itunes will not recognise and load my library

I know just enough about computers to be dangerous. After years of relatively hassle free itunes I now have a distinct problem. my most recent hard drive failure resulted in the purchase of another new drive and the loadingf of all of my programs. This has happened numerous times in the past without upset but this time after inmstalling the latest v11.1 itunes it will not recognise and load my library. I run 64 bit Win 7 an d to date I have:
          Uninstalled itunes and bonjour, deleted my original download, redownloaded and reinstalled.
          Checked preferences / advanced / path to make sure it is looking in the right place - changed paths and back again.
          Yes, it is 64 bit itunes.
          I only use MS Windows Defender and it has never blocked me before.
In the past as soon as itunes has installed it has gobbled up my library but this time all I see is that stupid Mr Scruff et al. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

"do not disconnect" and automatic vs. manual updates

today, i switched my ipod to disable automatic updating b/c there were songs (e.g. holiday music) on my itunes and ipod, which i wanted to remove from my ipod. but when ever since i switched to manual update mode, my ipod says "do not disconnect" and it must be manually ejected (dragging icon to trash before disconnecting from usb port). even when i switched my computer/ipod back to original settings (automatically update music versus manually update from itunes), my ipod still must be ejected manually and displays "do not disconnect". how can i get it to the way it was?
thanks in advance for any answers.

Michelle,
With iTunes open click on the iPod icon located at the lower right of the pane.
In the preferences you have the option to, "Enable Disk Use". If this is checked then your iPod is mounted as a hard drive. If you uncheck this box you will see the "Do Not Disconnect" disappear.
hope this helps.

IPod not recognised and nothing is working.

After six months of working beautifully, my 5th gen iPod is not being recognised by iTunes or Windows. The "do not disconnect" icon doesn't even show up. I've tried all the solutions in the other thread on the topic, but they don't work; I can't restore the iPod because it won't show up in iTunes; I can't restore the drivers because it doesn't show up in Windows. I've tried connecting in disk mode and to other ports on the computer, same result. I've also tried connecting it to other computers running Windows and it isn't recognised on them either. Is there anything I can do (some way of restoring factory settings without connecting to iTunes, maybe?) or do I have to send it back?
If it helps, right before this started my iPod was displaying a "file not recognised/file corrupt" error message when I tried updating it in iTunes.

Cd not reading and cannot eject

I put a cd in my imac. It did not read and does not show up on my desktop.
I have tried placing the computer in sleep mode and pressing the eject key, holding the mouse button down as I restart, restarting and holding command-opt-o-f (nothing happens, the computer starts as normal every time and I never get the firmware prompt) and opening the terminal application and pasting in /usr/bin/drutil eject.
I cannot get this CD to eject no matter what I try. Are there any other options I should explore? Or am I doing something wrong? I really need to get this CD out so I can continue my work.
Edited to Add: I also tried holding the option ket down during start up. I got the hard drive to show up, but no disk ejection.

Solved it myself! Disk Utility and then the eject button in the disk utility popped it right out!

Usb device not recognised and sudden shut down. iphone doesn't appear itune

Hi everyone.
New to these forums.
I am travelling atm. Just received a new white iphone 3gs 16gb 6 weeks ago as a replacement on insurance from uk.
No previous problems. Yesterday phone suddenly powered off.
completely dead with around 30% baterry charge remaining.
now briefly shows charge icon when pressing on off button.
connect usb charger shows charging icon, disconnect shows not charged.
have left on for several hours and no more charge stored.
connect to pc and sound denotes usb connection, however message appears (vista)"usb device not recognised".
iphone does not appear in my computer or on itunes.
am travelling down through africa for the next 4 months so cannot visit store or post to apple or receive replacemant until return to uk in april.
is this issue fixable?
moved to iphone from ipod 2 click wheel as that was extremely unreliable and crashed constantly.
have had 2 ipods, 1 iphone 3G and this 3Gs. only 3G worked without problems for a year. All other items failed repeatedly within weeks or months.
are apple going to produce a reliable product one day? functionality is great, reliability is less than 3rd rate.
can anyone help as i face 4 months overlanding with no music, translator apps or phone!!!!
desperation creeping in.

Hello iphonephan,
Try following the steps in these articles (try them in the order listed below):
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Another thing you can try is to import the pictures when that prompt comes up and then delete the pictures on the iPhone (you can also email them to yourself from the iPhone before deleting them). Once the camera roll is empty on the iPhone try connecting to the computer to test.

CD ROM / DVD Drive not recognised and virus on computer

Can anybody help please?
My CD ROM / DVD Drive has failed. I have tried troubleshooting etc but to no avail. The computer does not recognise I have a cd rom / dvd drive as it says it is not recognised by the registry?
I also have a virus I cannot get rid of, this may be part of the problem (Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c) I have run numerous virus, spyware and trojan checks but there is no cure yet?
I tried system recovery but it will not let me recover to a previous date.
I cannot use my recovery disc because the computer does not recognise the drive. A catch 22 situation.
Can anyone offer any advice other than throw it out of the window?
Help from anyone would be much appreciated.
Regards
PG
Frustrated notebook user.

HI Paul,
I think your first priority will be to remove the virus from your notebook. The following link contains details of the virus :-
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.desktophijack.html
Is you CD-ROM shown in the BIOS ? If so then set it to be the first selectable boot device and you should then be able to load your recovery disk and reboot from it.

New ipod not recognised and not charging

I have just recieved my new 60gb ipod and run the set up provided. The ipod screen lit up when i plugged it into the usb port, however the screen went to language menu and is now jammed and will not change. There has been nothing telling me it is charging and the computer is telling me 'unkown device, retry, device has malfucfactioned may need to be replaced'. The ipod is not seen in device manager, hidden folders are shown and i have tried reinstalling a couple of times............please somebody help b4 i get mad and throw it from my balcony

Well it took some time and patience after contacting tech support....who are useless cos they just sent me the link to apple tech support FAQs. I looked back through previous posts from few days back and found answer.......the old 'slide hold control x6 then hold menu and select button for 15 secs'. Well all I can say is your posts are alot more helpful then Apple tech support, why could they just not tell me that on the phone.....its not difficult and it seems that lots of us get caught out with the same prob! They should be less concerned of getting as many calls answered for the incentive scheme they have no doubt and spend a few secs just to try and work it out on the phone, they are not paying you guys to sort out the worlds ipod probs!
Well happy ITuning
