DVD drive won't accept disks since Snow Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded my Macbook to Snow Leopard, and now I can't insert disks into my optical drive. It just won't accept them. Help!
Thanks in advance!

Try this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
No guarantee this will work but it's a start.

  • Lower DVD drive won't open/close since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hello,
    I have 2 optical drives in my Mac Pro: 1 Superdrive in the upper slot and 1 DVD-ROM drive in the lower slot (a HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000 which came with my old Dual G4 450).
    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't use the lower drive anymore, it won't open or close (I used the alt-eject keys, nothing happens). The drive also is not listed in the eject-menu in the menue bar, but it appears in system profiler as:
    HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000:
    Modell: HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000
    Version: 016J
    Seriennummer:
    Absteckbares Laufwerk: Nein
    Protokoll: ATAPI
    Einheiten-Nummer: 1
    Socket-Typ: Intern
    Low-Power-Polling: Nein
    Ausschalten: Nein
    Anybody any ideas what I can do to get that 2nd drive to work again?
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

    Today I had a little time do do some testing:
    The tip with the SMC RESET button didn't help.
    Zapping the PRAM/NVRAM didn't help either.
    The jumpers were on "cable select" on both drives, I tried to set one as "master" and the other one as "slave". Problem still exists.
    I changed the position of the drives to check if the cable is ok. Still the same.
    I unplugged the other (working) drive and had just the one plugged in. It shows up in system profiler but not in the drives menue nor in the disk utility application.
    I booted from my 10.5 installation DVD and tried the disk utility from there. It's not on the list.
    Any other ideas?

  • Imac dvd drive won't accept disks

    My iMac's dvd drive won't let me insert any disks. It feels like there's something blocking the way in. The eject button on my keyboard doesn't seem to be working either – usually the dvd drive makes an 'ejecting sound' when the button is pushed, even when there's no disk. I've also tried some disk ejecting tricks found in this community. The dvd drive seems to be responding to nothing...

  • DVD drive won't accept disks

    Today I tried to put in a DVD R to burn files and I realized that my Disk drive seems to be completely dead. It won't suck in DVDs. I hadn't used it for a while and I just noticed this today. The only noise it makes when starting the computer but otherwise it seems completely dead. Is there any diagnostic tool that I can run since I can't even put a Disk in the drive ?
    It's a 2011 13 inch MacBook Pro running OSX Lion.
    Thanks

    Have you inserted the disc far enough for the motor to suck it in? It needs to be pushed in pretty far.
    Otherwise your drive has died. At least the motor used to draw the disk in has.

  • CD/DVD drive won't accept disks

    I have an iMac G5, 1.8 GHz, which is about 2 years old. Just today I have discovered that I cannot insert a CD or DVD into the drive. When I try to insert a disk, it doesn't get "grabbed" and just sits there in the slot inertly. Anyone ever have this problem and know what can be done about it?
    I have burned many a CD on this computer and have never encountered this problem.

  • My disk drive won't accept disks at all, not even a little to spit them out.

    My disk drive will not accept disks at all...there is no disk stuck in there, but nothing happens when I try to insert a disk into my disk drive.
    The disk won't even go in the drive a little bit...it's like something is blocking the drive, but I know nothing is in there.
    Any ideas on what this may be or what to do to correct it?

    It sounds like the lens on your optical drive is dirty. Use a cleaning DVD or wrap a microfiber cloth around a credit card and carefully slide it in and out a few times.

  • Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

    I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
    Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
    Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
    Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
    My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

    I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:

  • DVD drive won't read disks at boot

    I have a Paviliton DV6-2113sa running Win7 HP  64bit. 
    I removed Acronis True Image and when I rebooted I got a BSOD at the point when the coloured balls should merge into one.
    I thought OK, put the system repair disk into the DVD drive and boot up, but the drive is failing to read any recovery dosks. I think the drive has packed up as I haven't used it for some time.
    Can I use any replacement drive in this model or must I get the same one again?
    The drive light flickers as though it is reading data but it doesn't 'spool up' to speed and I don't get the 'press any key to load from DVD'.
    The BSODs are a seperate issue which I think running a system repair will fix but I can't as the drive won't read data.
    Is it possible to put the repair disk files onto a 4gb USB stick and if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks.

    Hi Peeps
    I had exactly the same problem with my Macbook, again from the UK. Really weird though as would intermittantly read DVD film's which worked fine previously.
    Well.... Took it to my local Apple store and saw a genius and anyway they replaced the super drive and logic board (surprised about the logic board!).
    But just got it back today and the DVD drive is completely fubard so is being returned tomorrow to get this sorted!
    Moral of the story, sounds like a drive or board problem. Will keep you updated when I get mine back

  • CD/DVD drive won't accept discs?

    I'm trying to play a DVD in my disc drive. I have an HP Pavilion slimline, model should not matter because it is just an issue with playing discs. It has the Vertical disc drive. 
    So I have the small DVDs that go in video cameras. There is clearly a small round circle that will accept them. I have played these types in computers with the horizontal drive. My issue is with this being a vertical drive and a smaller disc, it will not stay in the tray. 
    So should I not be bothering because it won't take these discs or is there some sort of adapter I need to make it stay? 

    Some drives have a lip or tab to help hold the smaller DVD's in place for the vertical operation.  Apparently that one does not.  The only solution that seems to be using an external DVD drives that lays horizontal.

  • IPhoto won't open since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to snow leopard iPhoto won't open, it just crashes instantly. I ahve tried reinstalling with no luck.
    Can anybody help with this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan.

    i just bought a new MBP 13'' 2.53 Ghz 4Gb Ram 250GB HD... i tried moving my iPhoto library from my powerbook g4 1.67 machine that was running 10.4.11 (via a Lacie external)
    once i moved this and opened iPhoto (on my new MBp running 10.6.1 - SNOW LEOPARD) it instantly asks me to upgrade the library (saying that the old library needs upgrading for this version), so i click upgrade, and then 2 seconds later it says that the library is corrupt and damaged and i must install from a back up...
    I deleted iPhoto then emptied trash after clearing up some space on the external, meaning i lost iPhoto applicaton - IDIOT I KNOW - so i download iPhoto 8.1 and the library upgrade and error / damaged library message appeared again...
    I have now, (as i type this right now) re-installed snow leopard from the snow leopard disk that came in the MBP box (i have had it like 2 weeks, thats it, it shipped with leopard and i am having to install SNOW LEOPARD, for the 2nd time) to get iPhoto back)... will this give me iPhoto back, or do i have to re-install from the LEOPARD OS disks that were sent in the MBP box, the OS that it shipped with?
    i am very annoyed that it seems that my iPhoto library from a 3.75year old machine cant be on my new machine unless i re-add each PBG4Tiger10.4.11 individual library folder thru the interface of iPhoto on my new machine... (if indeed it will ever open)...
    PLEASE HELP !

  • CD/DVD Drive Not working on iMac using Snow Leopard

    Can anyone help me with a possible solution as to why my CD/DVD Drive on my iMac (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8) has suddenly stopped recognizing any inserted discs?
    It makes a noise - as if it's trying to read them - but then ejects them! Although my iMac is quite old, the actual CD/DVD Drive was only replaced a couple of years ago!
    I'd be grateful of any help, alternatively a rough idea of price for either replacing the drive (if it has gone to the great Apple Drive in the sky) or a plug-in removable drive? Thanks

    Try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and PRAM OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    sometimes it helps. You can also try a cleaning disc or blowing some compressed air into the mechanism to get rid of any dust that may be affecting it. The bottom line is that the slot loading SuperDrive, mounted sideways and exposed to the heat generated inside an imac, just doesn't last long. You're better off with an external drive, LG makes good ones for less than $30 http://www.amazon.com/LG-GE24NU30-Super-Multi-External-DVD-Writer/dp/B007WLP0BY/ ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1413369637&sr=8-20&keywords=lg+super+multi+drive

  • ICal error since snow leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    We are running Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard. I have all of our service up and running except for one. The issue is with iCal Server.
    We did an OS upgrade - keeping our previous settings etc. Most of this worked great but iCal Server is not accessible.
    In Server Admin the service seems all set and running but on the web page and on our client machines the calendars we have been using before the upgrade are now not available.
    Using Safari and going to the web calendar I gat a message "Unable to access calendar, because the calendar server is not running."
    In iCal on a client it just shows a offline icon beside the group's(account) shared calendar.
    I have looked a several settings and read through the 10.6 iCal Server Admin PDF from apple. I am sure I jst am missing a configuration somewhere.
    Any help/advise/insight would be awesome!
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. I did a very similar task to fix the issue. Basically our company calendar had only a few future events input so I deleted all the old ics files etc and restarted ical server. I can now access the calendars(users and groups) via the webcalendar on the wiki.
    I can also sync user calendars with iCal using- http://serveraddress:8008/principals/users/username/
    However I cannot sync the group calendar using- http://serveraddress:8008/principals/groups/groupname/
    This worked in 10.5 but is not working since the 10.6 upgrade.
    Perhaps I need to find a new path to access this calendar. Any thoughts on where is calendar home is located?
    Thanks

  • CAN'T SEE SHARED FOLDERS FROM THE PC ON MY MAC SINCE  SNOW LEOPARD UPGRADE

    HELP! Ever since I've installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, I don't see my folders I selected for sharing from the Microsoft PC computer in my network anymore. I can't seem to locate anything. However the PC is able to see the folders from my iMac. If anyone has solutions to this problem, your help would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Pat

    Your problem is probably the same one I described in my thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2133962&tstart=0
    The problem in my case, seems to be that the SL mac is not setting itself as the master browser, so when a Windows PC is switched on, it doesn't update that computer in the finder sidebar.
    You can see if this is the case, by opening terminal, and typing:
    nmblookup -M -- -
    If it comes back with "name_query failed to find name _MSBROWSE_#01" then you've got the same problem as me. With Leopard, my mac would report back as the master browser.
    It's got nothing to do with the firewall (I've tried turning mine off ,to no avail). Also, my workgroup is correct, and smb sharing is turned on for the user.

  • Can't drag and drop MP3 files into GB since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Not sure if this is a known issue but ever since I have upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6), I have only been able to import (drag & drop) some MP3's into a podcast project. For example, some files I was able to import before, no longer can be dragged and dropped to create a new track.
    I've tried creating a new podcast project but thats not working either. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Ben

    I just read another from another website - http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    that if you choose delete the prefernce files .plist/.cs and use "SAVE AS" vs "SAVE" the files I referred to above get saved when attempting to open th project again. I tried it and it seems to work for me now. I hope this helps others with the GB *"File Not Found"* dilemma in Leopard and Garageband V5.1

  • Ipod charging problem since Snow Leopard upgrade..

    Hi,
    I usually charge my ipod through the keyboard usb port on my aluminium imac, but since i upgraded to Snow Leopard the ipod is now flattened ??
    The ipod shows the charging ipod and functions correctly in itunes, its just flat if left connected overnight..
    Anyone else having this problem ?

    Those keyboards are notoriously underpowered. Does it charge correctly if you plug it directly into the Mac?
    Is the machine set to sleep?
