Dvd/cd rom not showing up on computer.

dvd/cd rom not showing up on computer. Where do I find the driver for the dvd/cd?
Have a pavilion dv6915nr with windows vista. Somehow the dvd/cd player is not showing up and will not play anything.
Any suggestions on what I can do.

Is this because i am an idiot and need a DVD drive?
Have you got a DVD drive?
Have you been able to playback DVDs before? If not, then you may very well need a DVD drive... not just a CD drive.
You'll be able to tell what you have by looking in 'My Computer' when there are no discs in the drives. The drives should show up as things like: 'CD-ROM Drive(D:)' or 'CD/DVD Drive(D:)'. If none of the drives have DVD in the title, you may just need a DVD drive.
If you have any luck getting them to show up, take a look at this thread for help on ripping DVDs to iPod.

Satellite Pro L300 - CD/DVD does not show on my computer

Hello ! This is probably a silly / easy question but I am very new in this and..... my CD/DVD unit does not work.
It does not show on "my computer" and when I insert a disk, nothing happens (except for a buzzing noise but then nothing)....
Can someone kindly help me?
As the helpline does not answer on Saturdays...
Many thanks !

Hi
Try this;
Access the device manager and remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager list.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Reboot the notebook and check it again.

Hi,
If the drive is not showing in the list of bootable devices, you can be fairly certain that it has suffered a Hardware failure and will need to be replaced.

Ipod touch not showing up in 'computer'

My ipod 4g is not showing up in 'computer' on Windows 7. It shows up in iTunes, but not in computer. I tried updating itunes and ipod, still no luck. I need it for my pictures, and iCloud is too complicated to use easily.
Please help!!

We have 16 pupil iPads at our school supervised by a Mac Air and we can't see the photos on any of them on the Mac, a Windows 7 or an XP machine. The unsupervised machines used by the teachers are fine. Is this a common problem? If so, is there any way around it not involving PhotoStream?

My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online.

My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online. I know for sure that the box is not there in iWeb. You will see it on the homepage of www.gageformen.com of you're on a PC. Any clue how I can get rid of it? Thanks!

Post a screenshot of the page on the PC so we can see what you're referring to? What type of box image is it?
By the way, I noticed that the only text in your entire site that is not an image file is that on the page RESPONSIBLE STYLE. That's the only text in your site that a search engine can use in it's ranking and listing. That could be limiting as to what the search engines have to use from your site.

Audiobook does not show on other computer and IOS devices.

Audiobook purchased on iMac does not show on other computer and IOS devices. Music i buy in the store does show up. settings have been checked and books

This has nothing to do with iCloud. Try one of the iTunes forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes

External 3rd party USB DVD drive will not show up on my 2008 Macbook pro

I have a the new Macbook pro, when I connect my Liteon USB DVD drive it does not show up my Macbook pro. The only DVD drive showing up is the one on my Macbook pro. How do I make the 2nd DVD drive show up. I just need to 2nd drive to tranfers data from dvd to the external drive.

Hi, ipodtrip1. Nothing will appear on your MBP's desktop unless there is a disc in the drive. Does a disc in the drive not appear either?
If not, does System Profiler detect the drive as a connected device?
If you have another USB device you can connect to your computer, disconnect the optical drive and connect the other device. Does System Profiler detect that device?
If not, reset the System Management Controller, and see whether doing so reactivates your USB port.

Blank DVD and CD not showing up in Finder or anywhere

My blank dvd and cd are not showing up in Finder. I checked my preference and deleted from my library com.apple.finder.plist. All to no avail. I have the new upgraded Lion.

When I open the Disk Utility I see SuperDrive but I can't burn nor eject the disk. The only way I can eject the DVD is to restart my computer.
Do other blank discs appear normally?
Do other commercially manufactured discs (software, movies) show up normally?
Those questions are to help narrow down exactly what the problem is.

I have no idea what it means to "zap the PRAM" and Reset the SMC"
Honestly i don't think those are going to make much difference for this problem. Go ahead and do them, but they're usually last resort desparation solutions, not first resort.

DVD/CD-ROM Not working

My 1 day old (aka NEW) computer does not see the DVD/CD-ROM. the driver says "windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (code19)
What do I do to fix this?

Open Device Manager (search for it in the Start Menu if you need). Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." What's listed under there? Is there a yellow exclamation mark next to the device?
Right-click it and select "uninstall." Then reboot.
Windows should auto-detect after rebooting.

Leopard DVD Vista Tracks not showing up on iTunes Music Library.

Yet again, another obstacle in what I thought would have otherwise been the simple task of converting iTunes purchases to audio CD.
My MacBook is refusing to do ANYTHING with CD-Rs, so I am trying to drop some purchases from a DVD back-up burned on my Mac a few days ago, onto a VISTA platform.
I just dropped an album onto the relevant iTunes folder in this VISTA computer, and I was about to try and burn to audio, only it is not showing up in iTunes > Music!
The other option I looked into a few months back was to simply drop the tracks on this VISTA computer by simply plugging my iPod into a USB port, only it wont allow me to do this unless I reformat my iPod with windows firmware!
This is absolutely ridiculous!
What is going on here, why is this simple task turning into a nightmare?

I solved this. I simple had to select the tracks in windows explorer and press <enter> and they then showed up in iTunes Musis.

My CD-ROM isnt showing in MY COMPUTER file

I need HELP.... I have had this PC for about a year now, and it has always had the CD-ROM in it, but for some unknown reason it is no longer showing under MY COMPUTER it lists my shared folders, C-drive and floppy disk, but no longer has my CD-ROM showing. It is installed on my pc, but isnt functioning anymore. I have tried the task of uninstalling it, restarting my pc and trying to let windows find it and re-install it. The problem is, it says that windows cannot install because the drivers are either corrupt or missing (error 39) I am running Windows XP home edition (5.01.2600 Service pack 2) The CD-ROM is MSI CD-R/RW 52x32x52x When checking my NERO info it gave me the message that System ASPI in NOT installed, but the Nero ASPI is installed and working. I am not really up on pc terms and do not understand alot about this, but I need someone who can explain in simple terms how to go about getting this to work properly again. The last thing I dont before I noticed it not working was I took the side panel off and using the can of air to blow dust off the fan blade and other componenets, but I didnt touch anything while doing this. PLEASE HELP... I am lost. Thank You

Try changing the IDE cable and switching to another molex power cable.
Try your current CD drive in another system and see if the same happens.

I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which died,when I open my iTunes it does not show the new iPod, and refuses to allow me to sync my existing library, the new iPod does not show in my computer only on devices, any suggestions ?

Question: I have just bought an iPod Nano to replace my previous one which "died" My computer does not recognize the new iPod and only shows it in devices and printers. I cannot sync my existing iTunes to the new iPod, there is no way I can do it. Any help please?

Hey there longislandmacca,
It sounds like your iPod is not recognized in either Explorer, or in iTunes on your PC. That can be frustrating, expecially when its a new device. I recommend you use the following article to help resolve that issue named:
