Dvd/cd will not operate

dvd/cd will not operate.  operating lion os.

What happens when you put an optical disk in the drive? Does it fail to go in, or does it go in and then get ejected? Please describe the actual failure.
Best of luck.

  • HT202731 HAVE MACBOOK AIR, purchased external DVD.  Will not operate.  On screen "No support disc available.  ???  What am I missing????

    Have Macbook Air, I purchased DVD external.  Will not function, will not eject disc.  On screen " no support disc."  What am I missing?

    Hi drhdrh,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your configuration. If you are using an external SuperDrive with your MacBook Air, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Any DVD I rent from the red box or at the library my 27"iMac and my MacBook Pro will not operate.

    Any DVD I rent from the red box or at the library my 27"iMac and my MacBook Pro will not operate.  The Mac's take the DVD's and it sounds like it's trying to run the DVD.  After about 10 seconds the Mac just spits it out.  I am using the newest version of the Beta Yosemite OS X 10.10.3 Version.  I'm a little more than a novice user, just to keep in mind... Can anyone help me fix this problem?

    Aside from running the beta (and not being allowed to discuss anything at all about it anywhere including these forums), I have found that some commercial DVDs (and actually also music CDs) are coded such that they will not play in any device that could ostensibly be used to copy the content due to DRM/copyright issues. The DVDs played just fine in both of my DVD players hooked up to my TVs and the music CDs worked in my stereo system.
    Have you tried to play those in a regular DVD player?

  • DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

    HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there.  It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies.  I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive.  Computer is out of warranty.

    Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
    I'd recommend starting with this document:
        Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
    Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?  
    Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
    Let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • Satellite A40-151 DVD drive will not play DVDs

    hi my dvd drive will play music cd's but when i try to play a dvd it just makes a beep and nothing happens i tried windvd and it comes on but everything is blurred and still wont play a dvd

    Hello John
    Please dont be mad on me but in your posting there is no question or something just small report that DVD drive will not play DVDs.
    Anyway, if I am remembering well your unit is about 2 years old and has probably DVD-CDRW (Combo) drive. In my opinion there is no much to do. If the drive has problem with original DVDs I presume that there is laser calibrations problem and the device must be replaced.
    I dont know how old is your unit exactly but please check if the warranty is still valid. If yes contact service partner in your country immediately. The drive should be replaced for free. If not you must replaced it on your own. If the drive replacement costs too much I recommend you to use external device (I do it with my old Satellite). On this way I can use newest and very fast super multi DL devices and also create own DVDs.
    You can also try to find already used DVD/CD-RW drive and replace it alone. If you need assistance by replacement please write again.
    Once again, dont be mad on me. I am ready to write my opinion but it is really annoying when someone write just one sentence and nothing more.
    Good luck!

  • My CD/DVD drive will not open

    My CD/DVD drive will not open when I insert any type CD/DVD. The CD/DVD just runs but will not open.

    Try cleaning the lens:
    Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
    Use a few shots of compressed air in the slot.
    Wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth?) around a business card and gently insert it in the slot.
    If no success, a trip to the genius bar at an Apple store is the best option.
    Ciao.

  • My dvd player will not let me change regions, it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

    My dvd player will not let me change regions, it says i have one more chance to change it, then it just quits when i do, now its stuck on region 1. Any thoughts how i can solve this problem or get round it in some way?

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

  • DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

    When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

    Go this this thread for more details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
    But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

  • DVD Drive Will Not Eject

    The DVD Drive will not open with the keyboard eject button. The only way to open it is restart it and then put in appleoption+OF then type "eject cd" then type "Mac-boot" but there must be a simpler way to do this with out rebooting it every time you want to open the drive bay. The key board is brand new. I am using a IOgear Miniview III KVM switch. It works when you plug the keyboard in directly into the mac it works fine. Is there a KVM switch driver that is compatible with the Powermac G5 and a PC.

    Open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and enter "drutil eject" without the quote marks. If you need to use this command often, it can be made into a double-clickable application. To do this, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, paste the following in:
    do shell script "drutil eject"
    and save it as an application.
