Combo Drive not working properly - because of updates?

I'm getting similar problems like some of you: I can play and read CD-Rs with data and music but not DVDs. I have a MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8121. I was able to use the DVD player but after the recent updates (the OS and other programs like iTunes, etc) I found out that DVDs won't run anymore. I usually get the message window "Cannot recognize CD, please insert CD" or something along the lines.
Is it because of the updates? I will try to perform the Hardware diagnose CD that came with my powerbook (but not sure if it will read that CD!). Does it sound like I may need a new CD drive? Feedback would be much appreciated!

Yeah, don't expect a responce - they must get millions of reports!I would suggest that you take the box and disc down to your local Apple Store (Map), which is located at:
Apple Store the Grove
189 The Grove Dr, Los Angeles, CA
(323) 965-8400
Apple Store
8522 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
(310) 289-7014
Apple Store
10250 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
(310) 286-6820
I'd expect them to replace the disc without question, or, at the very least confirm whether it's a disk or computer issue.

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.

Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

Hi,
Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Franco.

I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?

SD-R6012 1334 DVD-R/RW Drive Not working properly

Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help me. My SD-R6012 DVD drive copies CDs fine, but wont burn any DVDs. Ive tried to install the firmware upgrade for it, but it comes back with the message:
"CD-Drive firmware is NOT need to update firmware"
Please help!
Many thanks
Dan

Hi
Check this page:
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/Index.asp?page=PFT&nav=ISH_ARC&stype=product&ptype =&frame=content&model=SDR6012
There you will find the newest firmware and drivers. If after this installation the drive doesnt work properly so I assume it has a malfunction.
In this case the only way is to contact the service. There you will get more details.

Ipad2, safari does not work properly after ios6 update. How do I fix it?

I need help in fixing safari problems after ios6

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

USB Hard Drives Not Working Properly?

I have an MSI K9N Neo V2/V3? (msi-7369) motherboard with 2GB Ram and an Athlon 64 x2 4200+ processor.
I have a strange USB Port problem! I have a 5 year old home built machine running Windows 7 32bit. Lately the USB ports on the front and back of the machine are not working properly with external hard drives? USB powered or mains powered. They are recognised and show all the folders but If I try to view or transfer anything it freezes the drive?
The ports are working fine for USB sticks though?
I have removed the USB controllers and let the system reinstall them again, but its no better?
I would format the drive and reinstall windows but I have not backed-up all my videos I want and my system restore has been disabled?
I have tried a new USB PCI card but the same happens?
I have updated the bios and all updates with the MSI Live update program.
Can anyone recommend anything to try before I start removing stuff?
Someone told me to update my USB drivers but I can't find any?
Any help appreciated

I have formatted and installed Windows 7 64bit and USB's were working!!
Updated and now they don't again?
Its going out the window soon!!
Could the firmware update play a part? Am I able to go back to the older firmware?

I have also another graphics which is Intel HD graphics 4000. Now what can I do to run solve to problem?

Welcome to the forum!
Did you install the Windows XP Chipset Driver for your model prior to trying to install the Ati driver? The chipset driver must be one of the first drivers installed so that the operating system can correctly identify the rest of the installed hardware for their driver installation. Once the chipset driver is installed, reboot and then try installing the Windows XP version of the Ati driver.

Smart Actions not working properly after software update

My Razr updated 2 days ago and since then my Smart Actions are not working properly.
I have my Work action set to turn the volume down when I'm at a certain GPS. It shows that "Work" is active, but doesn't turn the volume down.
Also, there are times (since I've owned the phone) that it will not connect to the network after coming off a Wifi Connection without rebooting the phone. I took it into a Verizon store and they did a hard reset, and that fixed it for a time, but it started doing it again.
Any help appreciated.

Hi mcclainkb, Let's make sure your phone works as you expect it to! Have you tried removing the Smart Action and setting it back up again? Are your other GPS services working as normal? After the hard reset performed in the store did you install all of the same application that you had before?
Thank you,

ITunes / iPhone not working properly after newest update...

iTunes is not working properly after the newest update... It dosen't see my iPhone, the program acts very sluggish, and has trouble loading the Store. Anyone have a solution or an explanation? I have tried the suggestions found in other threads ie. restart, re-download, charge phone, restart phone and so on. Nothing works. Everything was working fine until iTunes and the new ios were installed. After that it all went to crap. Thanks, Randy...

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Ibook g3 combo drive not working

I have a 500 mhz Ibook G3 with a non working combo drive. I went and replaced it with a new combo drive. The new combo drive didn't work either, so I dug deeper. When I checked out the "about this Mac" drop down , I saw that the combo drive doesn't appear at all. I also cannot eject/open the CD drawer. If I manually open the drive I can't get a disc to play or even spin. So I an assuming that it is a power to the drive issue. Any ideas? Do I need a new ribbon cable or is it a software thing? I'm running 10.4.11.
Thanks
Tom

You may have gotten another drive that was faulty.
I don't think it's the cable because the iBook G3 uses a single cable for the hard drive and the optical drive, using a Master/Slave configuration. So if your hard drive is working, the optical drive should work, too, unless it's not connected properly.
Did you use iFixit's guide to install it?
It sounds like hardware, not software.

DVD drive not working properly.....

here's the info on whats going on:
when i try to put in a CD/DVD it spits the disk out right away. after trying to put it in about five times or so, the drive takes it, makes its fancy noises to make me think that its reading the disk, but the computer doesnt recognize that it has one in the drive. sometimes it spits the disk out, but other times it will just keep it.
ive been reading posts from other users with similar issues and done everything that everyone has tried i.e. going to disk utilities and "verifying the disk" (it says everything is working normally), tried to "repair" the drive, and when i go the the info section about my disk drive it says that its read/writable, but not ejectable.
here is the info that it gives me, maybe this could be of some help to try and narrow down the possible problems:
Name : FUJITSU MHY2160BH Media
Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table
Disk Identifier : disk0
Media Name : FUJITSU MHY2160BH Media
Media Type : Generic
Connection Bus : Serial ATA 2
Device Tree : /PCI0/SATA@1F,2/PRT0@0/PMP@0/@0:0
Writable : Yes
Ejectable : No

Location : Internal
Total Capacity : 149.1 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Verified
Disk Number : 0
Partition Number : 0
the last thing that i havent done is do a full restart of the computer. that is my last resort. anyone have any ideas on what to do?
thank you for your time.

I have a question similar to this.....
Just recently (no updates/changes, etc) my CD drive stopped working. It won't let me enter a CD at all. It is as if there is something in there blocking it. I tried restarting the computer, but that didn't help. It acts like I have to force it in there, but I really don't want to do that. As far as I know there's nothing in there, as I rarely use the drive. Please advise if there is any sort of resets I can do for the drive (I'm still trying to get the hang of my MAC).
Thank you for any assistance!!!!

Printer is not working properly after I updated OS

My printer is not working after I updated my OS software. It will only print out pages as a mirror image. All the programs are not printing properly. Could really use some help fixing this issue.

What software did you update?
It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. Have you contacted the printer manufacturer tech support? Read the printer's user manual? Your printer drivers updated to match your updated software?

Optical DVD drive not working properly: HP notebook g61

Game disks and dvd movie disks not working consistently. Sometimes detected as empty dvd disk and asks if I want to burn to the disk. Other times does not read that there is a disk in the drive. Computer is about one month old. On one of my game disks, I have to reinsert 4 or 5 times before it will read properly. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you use the disk drive a lot. Before we panic and recommend a new drive, try a DVD lens cleaner you can pick up at any place that sells a lot of DVDs, like even WalMart. Run the cleaner disk and see if that helps.
