Combo Drive will not install off DVD

I have a Imac 700mhz with a combo drive. This summer when I tried to install Tiger it could not verify the DVD so after sending out two more Dvd's Apple sent me CD's which did load Tiger without a problem. I assumed it was a fluke but I just purchased ILIFE and it won' complete the installation, it says THERE WERE ERRORS INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE. I was able to load IPHOTO off the CD with ILIFE but I can't install GarageBand off the DVD.After seeing all the posts on Superdrives I'm wondering if I am having a problem with my Combo. It will play and burn CD's and play commercial DVD's( though my wife had trouble playing a scatched up Dvd once). Any suggestions?

Hello Don, my computer has a DVD player. I purchased the original retail Tiger from Apple, when it would not load they said it was a bad DVD. After a few hours on the phone with Apple they sent me two other replacement copies of Tiger in DVD and then they finally sent it to me on CD, which installed without a problem I recently purchased Ilife '05 and I was not able to install off of that DVD. ILife also comes with a CD which I used to install the new IPhoto but I am unable to install GarageBand off the DVD. Apple said they do not believe I have a problem with my Combo drive because it still reads Commercial DVD's. I am at a loss and guess it needs to go in for service. My computer is about 3 1/2 years old and until recently I have rarley even used it to play or burn a CD. I have a hard time believing that I would have worn out the Combo Drive.

Also it is running Windows 8 and is a Ideacentre K410. And the CD/DVD Drive it is showing I have installed is TSSTCorpDVD-RW SH-216BB Not sure if that has always been the drive or not.

Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

Acrobat V9.0

I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
"The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

HT204095 Apple Mobile Device USB Driver will not install

I've followed the steps to stop and restart Apple Mobile Device Service. I've deleted 3rd party software I thought would conflict. I uninstalled/reinstalled ITunes several times, but it will not recognize my iPod.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The section Install missing components may help if a particular component will not install when using the main iTunes setup program.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version, or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive Will Not Read Or Write To Any Media

I have an HP ZT1130, running XP SP3. It has a Toshiba SD-R2102 DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive that will not read or write to any media. I don't get any error messages. The drive is present in MY Computer & Device Manager indicates it is working properly. When I place any disk in the drive, I get a message to "insert a disk". I have already uninstalled & reinstalled the device, removed the "high & low filters" in the registry, operating from a "clean boot state", run a registry cleaner. I am currently using Microsoft Media Player 11. I have run out of things to check, I hope someone has some answers.
Thanks In Advance,
nightster

Internal Card Reader Driver Will Not Install -- Pavilion g4-1319tu

1. Product Name and Number: HP Pavilion g4-1319tu
2. Operating System installed: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
3. Error message: none
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: none
At first my card reader did not show up at all in Device Manager until after I actually inserted an SDHC card yesterday 17 jUNE 2012. Windows recognized the card and installed its own driver, Microsoft driver version 6.1.7600.16385 dated 21/6/2006, with the device's manufacturer being listed also in Device Manager as only "(Standard disk drives)" at Location 0, with the status shown as "This device is working properly". The card reader worked (and still works) and appears -- but only with the SD card inserted, otherwise it does not appear at all -- in both in Device Manager and in Computer>Devices with Removable Storage. I went to HP's Support Wizard site to update the driver. The site detected my product correctly and offered an update, "Realtek Card Reader Driver -Version: 6.1.7601.85" (sp55030) to download. I downloaded it and installed it. The newly downloaded driver shows up in Programs and Features. However, even after many uninstall / re-install attempts, the new driver version refuses to show in Device Manager's driver properties for the device. It also does not show when in Device Manager I try to manually update by "Browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer". All that shows is the old generic Microsoft driver named above. If while in Device Manager, I try to update the driver manually by "Browse my computer for driver software>Search for driver software in this location (folder where it is saved on my notebook)", it shows, but still will not update / install. A message pops up saying there is no driver in that location. In addition, after I eject and physically remove the SD card from my notebook, the device and driver also disappear from Device Manager until I re-insert the card, even when Device Manager is set to "Show hidden devices". Please advise.

Satellite A660 - DVD drive will not recognise some DVDs

I have a new Satellite A660-17E with a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT30N drive, running Windows 7 64 bit.
The drive will read most DVDs. Commercial DVDs (region 2) are fine. However, there are problems with DVDs recorded using DVD recorders. DVD+R recordings using a Philips machine work fine. DVD+R and DVD-R using a Sony HDX RDR 1095 machine do not work.
I'm hoping that the drive is ok and that this issue can be resolved by adjusting some setting or other?
Any ideas?

It is most likely the issue is with the brand of dvd's you record with. as stated in the manual not all brands of recordable media are guaranteed to work with the dvd drive.
Also the sony recorder, i had a similar problem when playing the recorded dvd on another dvd machine, i found by adding a little more recorded info from the other machine onto the dvd it played fine after that. If you use DVD+R on the sony , record something on the laptop to the same dvd and then see if the dvd will play on the laptop.

Pioneer DVD -RW drive will not load CD/DVD media iMac Yosemite

I have a 20-inch, Early 2009 iMac that was recently updated with a SSD Drive and I ran all the installation media that cam with it originally.
I did update to the latest and greatest Mac OS Yosemite to recently discover that the Pioneer drive (see details below) will not load disks. Any disks. It makes that loading noise and it seems to struggle until it spits it out again.
I am pretty sure it worked since I have loaded Software from the Installation DVDs but I cannot confirm the if the problem started since Yosemite update. There may be a separate contributing factor, he is 2 year old and since he has seen Music CDs loaded there previously he was showing interest in poking thinks in the slot.
How can I identify the real problem? Is the drive faulty or is it some incompatibility with the system?

IWorks will not install from DVD.

I am trying to install iWorks from DVD (my second copy from Amazon as the first did exactly the same thing). The DVD drive does not seem to read/recognise the DVD and ejects it after about 1 minute. DVD drive does not have any problems reading any other CDs/DVDs.
Is there a setting I need to adjust in System Preferences or a software download ? Or is there a batch of 'duff' iWork disks out there ?
Any assistance gratefully received.

It sounds like a problem with your RAM.

You could remove and reseat it, but really it may need to be replaced.
6 weeks out of warranty! That's precison for you I suppose

DVD drive will not recognize blank DVDs after upgrade to Lion.

It finds burned DVD/CDs but not blank ones. Disk utility partially sees blank dvd, gives option to eject it, but will not allow eject it. Finder does not see it at all. have to restart to have it eject. Tried different DVD's (Manufactures and -R / +R, etc). Have followed recommendations on resets and have even reloaded the OS. This problem started immediately after upgrade from snow lepoard to lion.

Repairing permissions yes. But in my head, if everything is working fine for it, just won't read Blank media, could it be a software thing?
I'll give it a shot in a few hours
