DVD gets ejected automatically

When I insert a commercial DVD or a burned DVD. It get ejected after 2 seconds. I used to be able to watch DVDs but now I can't. Could you please help.
Thanks

Hmm. Ordinarily I'd suggest putting in a lens-cleaning CD, but it sounds like there may be some mechanical problem if no CD/DVDs at all play. Have you tried booting off a CD/DVD? (If you could do that, then it may be a software/OS issue instead of a hardware issue).

Chances are good that your internal optical drive has failed.
The slot loading optical drives that Apple uses in their computers is not of high quality and their reliability varies throughout different Mac computer models.
Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.
Most Mac compatible drives you will only find to be purchased online.
Here are two on Amazon.com that are cheap and Mac compatible

Here's another source for Mac compatible optical drives. These are better quality optical drives.
These are also tray loading drives.

Mac OS X 10.6 Help
If you have trouble inserting a CD or DVD
If you can’t insert a CD or DVD, or if the disc is ejected after you insert it, there are several things you can try.
Try these suggestions:
Clean the disc. The drive may eject a disc if it’s dirty.
To clean a CD or DVD, wipe the shiny surface with a soft, damp cloth, working from center to edge.
Check the surface of the disc for scratches. If it’s scratched, it may be unreadable.
Try using the disc in another drive to see if the disc can be read.
Try to insert another disc in the drive. If you can insert other discs, the disc you originally tried to insert may be damaged.
Check whether the optical drive is plugged in and turned on. Refer to the documentation that came with the drive for more information.
If you’re using a MacBook Air SuperDrive, connect it directly to a MacBook Air. It won’t work correctly if it’s connected to any computer other than a MacBook Air, or if it’s connected to a hub.
When handling discs, be careful not to leave fingerprints, place other materials on the discs, or add labels to the discs that may cause them to become unbalanced when spinning. Don’t write on the shiny side of the disc. Instead, write on the side that has a label or other text.

DVD gets ejected immediately

Pretty simple problem: used inexpensive DVDs to burn some data on a PC. The guy who owns the PC said the disks generally worked but sometimes didnt.
So it didn't surprise me that none of them work on my G4. I wanted to know, though, if there are any other probably reasons? I don't want to invest in a pack of good DVD Rs if there's a good posibility it's another problem.
FYI: My DVD ROM works fine, so I have no reason to believe it's anything but crappy disks.

What was the message when they were rejected?
If you buy some, just be sure they're DVD-R discs.
If in doubt, don't necessarily trust the package, either -- I bought a shink-wrapped package of 10 name brand DVD-Rs a few months ago. While burning a DVD, about the fourth disc from the pack kept ejecting, saying it wasn't a DVD-R disc. Sure enough, the disc itself was a DVD+R! All the other 9 were DVD-R.

Disk drive ejects automatically

My CD drives is getting ejected automatically since I have refreshed it. Initially it ejects on booting, but problem has been sorted out somehow, but now, it ejects while working.
I'm using G6-2202 TX with Win8.

How common is it for the lens to get dusty and not read a particular DVD? I have two new DVD movies that are not even recognized on my PowerBook, and get spit out after a minute of cycling. Every other DVD works fine. I even returned one of the non-recognized DVDs and exchanged it for another of the same title, and guess what, it does not play either.
I tried these two problem DVDs in my G4 desktop last night, and they both worked just fine in that older drive. Unfortunately, and unrelated, my four year old Quicksilver desktop died overnight after the successful movie screenings.
Are some newish Region 1 NTSC DVDs different somehow (what is DVD9?)? Or is it most likely a dirty lens needing service, as you suggest?

T2000 DVD-ROM ejecting DVD

Hello,
I am having this little annoying problem. I am installing Sol 10 OS onto the brand new T2000 but every time I reboot or reset the server the install DVD gets ejected and I have to re-insert it. I don't remember having this problem on any other servers with Solaris installed. Is there a setting to change this behavior?
thanks,
GE

I am try to burn a dvd from iPhoto in iDVD, when I click burn I get error message I don't have SuperDrive and dvd is ejected. I have burned dvd's before. What am I doing wrong?

error message I don't have SuperDrive and dvd is ejected
If you don't have a SuperDrive you will not be able to burn DVDs.
Did iDVD come preinstalled on your Mac? If it did then you should have a SuperDrive and be able to burn DVDS. Check the Disk Burning section of System Information
to see what you can read and write with your optical drive:

Any CD or DVD i put in keeps getting ejected

I cant figure out what to do for this problem. I can't even use my Mac OS install disc 1 because that gets ejected too. Up to 10 seconds after putting in a disc it gets kicked back out. I hope theres an easy solution. I hope someone can help.

I didn't save the message. But basically what you do if your experiencing this problem go to your applications go to utilities click disk utilities and click on your HD in left hand corner and run a verify permissions and repair test. Hopefully this will eradicate the problem of your ejecting disk. After running a repair test turn off your computer start it up again then pop in a disk and see if it runs without ejecting prematurely.

All DVD's Ejected. Period

All DVD's get ejected. This has been happening for about a year now.

Cricket,
your iMac is years newer than the ones this forum covers and has a different optical drive. You would be best served by starting a new thread in teh forums for the Intel iMacs here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=189
Make a new post; tagging onto an existing one dilutes the help both you and the original poster can get. If you are having trouble figuring out how to start a new thread, please refer to this article:
http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=650
If the computer is new, you should take it in so the problem is documented by Apple as soon as possible.

Can't Erase HD because cd keeps getting ejected

So im trying to erase all my data but everytime i reboot my mac and press C the cd will get ejected and restarting normally. IT's driving me crazy, any thoughts?
Thx

Are you using the Application Restore disk or the System Restore disk?
Is the disk the one that was included with your computer?
Have you tried option booting?
if you boot normally, dose the computer recognize the disk? Will the computer recognize other DVDs? What about other CDs?

DVD wont eject please help

I put a dvd into the dvd drive that i burned from TiVo. I've used other dvds burned from TiVo in this drive that have worked perfectly, but for some reason this dvd wont eject, and when i try to open the idvd application it gives me a message that says, "There was an initialization error a valid dvd drive could not be found. [-70012]" it is very frustrating and i just want to get it out of my computer because i can't use any cds or dvds. I've already tried restarting the computer while holding down the track pad button and restarting while holding down C. Does anyone have any other advice?

Monica, first welcome to the discussions,
Restart your computer, and hold down your trackpad to click continue to hold it down and it should eject, if not go to the very upper right key on your keyboard and press it, it is another method to eject.
Tell us if this works for you. Don

Impossible tu burn an idvd project . All dvd is ejected.

I made a project with Final Cut Express, imported it in iDvd as I always do. All dvds are ejected and the only message I get : Insert a dvd.

Try this workflow to see if it makes a difference:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
