DVD/CD not working, possible Apple extension program?

Hello,
My DVD/CD drive stopped working last month. It started making a rattling noise about six months after I bought it, then ultimately stopped working.
It turns out I have three friends who have the same computer, and the same problem, not to mention all the people who have a similar sounding problem in this forum.
Could it be that Apple will extend their warranty to fix this problem?
Thank you,

The drive started to make a jitter sound about six months after I bought it, but it still worked great. It finally stopped burning DVD's about three months ago, and now it no longer burns CD's. The computer is about 2.5 years old.

    Why is Adobe Flashplayer not working with Apple? Do you have an other flash program you recommend?

    Thank you for your interest in Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately Apple does not allow Flash Player to be installed on iPhone or iPad.
    May I add, this is the answer I get When I try to Download Adobe Flash Player
    You get the message because that is exactly the situation. Apple has not allowed any Flash on iOS devices.
    What site are you trying to see? Many sites now provide Flash alternatives. For example, if you want to listen to Pandora, instead of using the Flash on the Pandora website, instead you download the Pandora app for the iPad.
    In the future, even if Apple wants to add Flash to the iPad, it won't be able to because Adobe will no longer be making it at all, for any mobile device:

    If you often go to sites that use a lot of Flash and they don't have an alternative, you should write to them and tell them to stop using Flash.

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Windows 7
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Regards,

  • I purchased I phone 5 from USA covered under Apple care  . I'm in India now. Wake/sleep button not working. Apple care here have refused to replace or repair it though it is still under international warranty. Feeling harassed. Can some one help.

    I purchased I phone 5 from USA covered under Apple care  . I'm in India now. Wake/sleep button not working. Apple care here have refused to replace or repair it though it is still under international warranty. Feeling harassed. Can some one help.

    Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
    There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
    I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
    It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
    My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
    I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
    The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

  • Home sharing does not work with apple tv

    Can anyone help me.  I used to be able to stream all content from my home master computer to my Apply TV.  Now it suddenly does not work.
    Apple TV itself works just fine.  I can also airplay using it with out IPADs.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.  Reset the modem/router.  Reset Appletv.  Tried with Norton disabled.  etc.
    Nothing seems to work. 
    I keep getting the 'Turn on your home sharing in Itunes' message.   But it is on.
    Help is appreciated.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Sometimes just disabling Norton isn't enough, you may need to hunt down every last file it has written to your computer then re-install iTunes. I understand Norton can be quite a nasty little intrusion.
    I know very little about PC's or security software as I have neither, but the following article might help you.

    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.

  • Complaint - Netflix and Youtube (internet option) not working on Apple TV 2 - Please advise

    Netflix and Youtube (internet option) is not working on Apple TV 2 I bought - please advise how to fix this.  Please note this is not to do with signing in as the internet menu and option to sign in is not given at all on screen/within ATV2.  The only menu options which appear on screen are "computer" and "settings" and nothing else.
    I have read from some other posts this may be because of the country in which I am located (currently the UAE) - this of course is not an acceptable excuse and if the real reason I hope Apple will fix this immediately.  From the box I bought the description on the reverse side of the packaging clearly states "Plays movies and TV shows from Netflix, live and archived games from MLB, NBA, and NHL, and videos from YouTube and Vimeo".
    If it is a country specific/territory issue then the packaging must be changed for countries in which this does not work as this product is being missold to customers, especially as having the option to stream Netflix, YouTube and Vimeo is one of its unique selling points - without which I would not have bought it in the 1st place!
    Currently very disappointed in Apple (normally a complete Apple fan!)
    Any help appreciated (positive comments only thank you).

    In reply to the comment "You seem to be saying that the box that you have is different in some way".  I'm actually not saying that at all as I have no idea what your box says and therefore can't comment. 
    And unless you're on the packaging design or distribution teams it would be a giant leap to presume every single box around the world is the same based on the product being the same.
    As a marketing person I know companies of all sizes and shapes tailor their products to cater for individual markets.  E.g. coca cola cans have different designs based on distribution location and languages used in particular countries and even the product itself can differ, although this may not be the case with Apple of course.
    I'm simply describing what is on my box and I don't neccessarily mean to be abrupt however I certainly wouldn't waste my time typing on this forum to say the box says something when it actually does not.
    Let me know if you can postively affect the outcome of this problem/help in someway and I'll be sure to send the image.
    Thanks.

  • My apple ID not working in Apple Store.

    My apple ID not working in Apple Store, in iTunes work fine and with my iPhone work fine too but in my iMac only works in iTunes, App Store and iCloud say "Incorrect password or username", I reset my keychain with the same result. My OS is 10.7.4
    In my iPhone I can acces to App Store, Itunes and iCloud but in my iMac only work in iTunes and online iCloud (icloud.com), the App Store and iCloud system say "Incorrect password or username" and never can loging.
    My Apple ID its confirmed and I buy in iTunes perfect...
    Please help, I have this problem for a long time...

    This is quite strange, as MAS is really the same store as iTS. It's the same account.
    This issue has to be something else going on with your system, and not at the Store's end.
    How about make a new user account for testing. And see what happens when you try to use your Apple ID through there.
