DVD driver is deleted when PSE 6 is installed

Windows Vista & PSE 6.
After installing PSE 6, I lose my DVD Driver. This has happened three times, each requiring a clean install of Windows. I have modified the registry as instructions on the Adobe site has suggested, and this does indeed work........for a time.
Unfortunately, after a while it seems that even the registry fix does not stop the driver vanishing. I have tried to download driver updates, but with the missing registry files, this is virtually impossible to accomplish as the system will not accept a new DVD driver.
The DVD is a TSST SH-S203N. It works fine on the system, until PSE6 is reintroduced. There is no other burning software installed on the system.
The time has now come when I am looking to install PSE6 for a fourth time, but am unwilling to have a complete overhaul of my system if it is going to corrupt it again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :)

Are you loosing the sofware or it gets removed from device manager.Are you able to burn the DVD through the PSE application.What registry entries are you modifying?Is the problem solved when you uinstall PSE6?Also is the burning software present in progam files or it disappears from there also?

Internal DVD drive is shot. Can I install SL from an external DVD drive?

Hi folks, a quick (well actually a few) questions.
I've had my imac since early '06. It's currently running Tiger, and I'd like to install Snow Leopard. The problem is that the internal DVD drive is shot. It's been occasionally refusing to accept DVDs for a while now, and now it has a DVD stuck in it (not mounted), which I can't get out via terminal, rebooting, or jiggling it (technical term I know).
Now, I'm going to assume that getting apple to replace the DVD drive will be more expensive than just grabbing an external drive, especially as I'll most probably only use it once. The question is, if I grab a cheap external DVD drive, will I be able to install Snow Leopard with it? Or will Tiger not recognise it as a boot drive?
Many thanks,
Chris
p.s. Also, I'm using a cheapo windows style keyboard (will be replacing asap), and I'm wondering if this is why I can't see bootable drives when holing option on startup?

Yes, you can install from an external drive, although I wouldn’t go for a cheap one. There are good, relatively inexpensive, drives out there. And you are going to need that option key to select the install disk as your startup. I believe there is a corresponding key on a PC keyboard, but I don’t know what it is (maybe Alt?). I’m sure someone can jump in here and tell us.

DVD Drives not working after Snow Leopard install

Hello all. I'm having problems after installing Snow Leopard. Om my MacBook Pro, my DVD drive doesn't even read discs anymore. It keeps it spinning for a while and then ejects it.
Coincidentally, the drive on my iMac 3+ GHZ is not accepting my discs into the DVD drive. It's not sucking in the discs anymore.
Both of these things started happening right after the Snow Leopard installation.
Can anyone help?

Have been running without trouble and had total ability to burn disc images to DVD until SL installation. after installation, every burn attempt fails to complete, give me an unrecoverabl, unable to restart error. I does burn data to the disc, but fails at some point near the end of the burn wich renders the disc a "coaster". I put my spare HDD back in wich was running 10.5, the problem exists with that drive also. My next step was to load a fresh drive with 10.5, even then the problem exists. I find it hard to believe that the drive failed exactly when SL was installed, more likely that the installation changed a hardware setting, or installed a firmware update which cause the problem. As I am a repair tech, I have done a ton of reaserch on the subject, and I find that litterally 10's of thousands of people have had the same issue after the SL upgrade. Come on Apple, I always heard you were better than Microsoft, but as everyone can see there is a problem. Get working on the fix and patch it just like Microsoft.

My CD/DVD Drive Only Works When I Jam the CD/DVD in hard..?

My CD/DVD drive only works when I stuff the CD/DVD in the drive EXTRA hard. If I just try to put in with normal force (that at one time worked) it spins the disc around, makes a spinning noise, and then ejects it. I'm taking it to the Apple Store soon. What should I expect to be wrong and is it fixable? Please share details. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like the spring that loads the drive has gotten jammed by something. This can often happen if you use CDs with sticky labels, or do anything to label the discs directly. As a result of issues like these, I've not labeled any discs directly, and instead store the in jewelcases, and purchase them prepackaged in jewelcases to avoid such issues.

My Power Mac G4 MDD has no DVD drive how do I pair it install OS X on my new HD.

My Power Mac G4 MDD has no DVD drive how do I pair it install OS X on my new HD.

Hi, two ways...
Put the Install Disc in another Mac tathas Firewire, put the other Mac into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
This turns the other Mac into a big Firewire DVD drive, then boot the MDD holding the Option Key, select the Install Disc in the other Mac to boot the MDD from.
Or an external FW DVD...

CD/DVD Drivers Missing msg when starting newly installed iTunes 11.1.4

I saw this error posted for other versions but none of the solutions have fixed the problem.
The error msg is:
The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for Importing & Burning CD's & DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD Burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
First off, I have Roxio installed, but it has been installed for several years and both programs have coexisted without issues until I updated to 11.1.4 two days ago.
When the message appears, I click OK and iTunes opens and appears to work fine, as far as displaying my library and playing music. I ran iTunes diagnostics on the CD drive with a pre-recorded CD and it sees the drive but won't read the CD. (the diagnostic log is below). However if I just insert a CD into the drive, iTunes recognises it and asks if I want to Import it. I did once just to make sure it worked and it did. I can even play the music on the CD with iTunes. However, I cannot Burn a Playlist to a CD.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. Started you the Setup program and ran a Repair. Same error.
2. Uninstalled iTunes using REVO Uninstaller, deleting all files and registry entries. Reinstalled iTunes, same error.
3. Followed the steps for removing iTunes on the iTunes Support web site using the Windows Uninstaller and manual folder deletion. Reinstalled iTunes, same error.

iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

Used Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Now, my macbook pro 13 mid 2009 will not boot back into OSX, there is no Bootcamp utilities like there should be anywhere to be found, and the DVD drive will not recognize the OSX install disk that came with my laptop.

Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.

Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine. Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition). When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk. Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer. Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

3000 J 115 Vista Premium 32bit - cant boot from CD/DVD drive to do clean Windows7-64bit install

My 3000 J 115 Windows Vista Home Premium desktop configuration is as follows:
- an EISA area
- 2 SATA HDD
- 2 IDE HDD
- 1 IDE DVD-RW drive
I changed the BIOS boot order so that the CD/DVD drive is first. Upon rebooting, the CD/DVD drive light comes on at bootup time, but later it proceeds to boot from HDD.
I tried removing all other HDDs from the boot device list so that the CD/DVD drive is the only boot device - then I get the msg "NTLDR is missing. Press CtrlAltDel to restart".
The machine will boot only if the C drive HDD is on the bootable device list - the C drive is on the original disk that came with the machine (that disk also has the EISA partition). And then, it wont boot from the CD/DVD even if it is the first on the boot device list. Finally, it shows up all OS's on the OS selection screen at bootup even when the HDDs on which those OS's reside are not present in the boot list (I guess this is again because of the EISA).
I need to boot from the CD/DVD to do a clean install of Windows7 64bit from the bootable Windows installation CD. How can I get my machine to do that? (I checked my jumper and cable settings for the IDE drives and they seem to be ok)

I've had a similar issue trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 MacBook Air, getting stuck at the Mac not recognising the USB Stick as a bootable device.
The rEFIt Toolkit solved this for me - simply install, reboot, and your stick shows up. From there everything was smooth sailing for me

CD/DVD drive door opens when eMac wakes from sleep

I have two identical eMacs running OS 10.4.9 but for some reason one of them has a problem where the CD/DVD drive door opens by itself when I wake it up. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Thanks!
Brent

The same thing happens to my eMac - and it has not been serviced at all. I have been watching your post for a reply. Can anyone provide a bit of help as to why the eMac CD door pops open upon waking from sleep?
Grateful for your help,

DVD Drive not working correctly after Lion install

Lion is doing something strange to the DVD drive in my Mac Pro. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just freezes up apps that are associated with it (such as finder, disk utility etc). The only way to eject is a reboot. It will not read the contents in this scenerio.
I have tried different DVDs, repairing permissions - everything you can think of. I am 99% confident this is somehow related to a bug in Lion.
Anyone else have a similar issue?

I may have found it.

Powerade spilled on Laptop, still works, but lights/DVD drive stay on when laptop is shut off?

PLEASE READ:
So my sister spilled some amounts of Powerade onto my HP (Pavilion DV7-3165dx ) laptop (2 years old), it spreaded a little(?)on the keyboard (not sure if it penetrated through?) but we managed to immediately turn it over, turned it off ( It dididn't shut itself off,yet), took the charger off, and then the battery later.
While upside-down, I dried it with a blow dryer for a little while (on cool setting).
Then I let it sit on an upside down V shape for like 2 days with a small fan pointed at it. Then let it sit for another day.
I turned it on yesterday (after inspecting it and everything, I even opened the dvd drive by poking through the hole to open it manually, this is the side where it mostly spilled, I looked at the CD drive and smelled it and saw no trace of Powerade residue, so I assumed the motherboard diidn''t even get wet at all ), everything was working flawlessly...
But I noticed when It's turned off, but has some power source,(such as the battery or the charger plugged in ) the indicator lights (stop,forward,wireless button etc) and the light on the DVD drive would otherwise stay/go on and off (flicker) sometimes and you could open the DVD drive by just pressing the button!
Why is this? It seems the electricity from the charger or battery is somehow powering the lights?
Is this a bad thing?
I've tried power draining (disconnecting every power source and holding down the power button), but it doesn't seem to work?
I've also heard worse post laptop-spill where it resulted on the laptop acting weirdly but after a few days it was gone and working completely ....so is it possible there is still some liquid in there?
-Thank you

It ain't good. The only way to check fully how far the liquid went is to remove the keyboard and look around under it. I think by now it is dry but I worry more about the sugar residue on electronic circuits. Here is a link to the Manual:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01859666.pdf
You are out of warranty anyway so it cannot hurt to remove the keyboard. Be careful with the ribbon cables. Remove the keyboard and wipe away any spill residue you see with rubbing alcohol and let dry thoroughly.

DVD drive won't recognize iLife '08 install CD

First generation G5, Mac OS 10.4.11
When I insert the install CD for iLife '08 into the drive, it spins away for about a minute and then ejects it with no error message. The same install CD works fine on my laptop. Other install CD's work on this same G5.
Anything I can try to get my Mac to open the iLife '08 install CD? If not, can I download the iLife '08 install files without having to purchase it again?
Thanks.

Hi Brian White3
Do you have another mac?. .I would try to transfer the files from one mac to the other one . I did that for dvd studio pro and it worked out fine . If you have a router setup in your house turn on the file sharing option . You can also try to run your other mac to transfer the files too. I can also tell to use a back up drive and load the file to it . As for why it wont load off the dvd Im not for sure on that one .
Let me no if you need more help.

CD ROM/DVD drive spins up when no CD is inserted

A few times a day my CD-ROM drive will spin up even though there is no disc in the drive. I can hear it and feel the vibration through the case.
At first I thought it might be the fan, but it is definitely the same sound and feeling the drive makes when a DVD first goes in, or when I'm burning a CD.
It doesn't seem to be software related -- it's happened where there are no programs running that ever access the CD-ROM (e.g., iTunes is almost never running).
Any idea why this is happening? Or how to stop it?

Two guesses: either you're hitting the eject key by accident, or there's dust or something in there that makes the drive think a disc is loaded.
