DVD keeps getting rejected!

Friday night I was able to put a DVD in and play it, but starting today I tried to put a DVD in and it ejects it right out about 30 seconds later. It doesn't sound like it reads it or anything. It is an actual DVD, no copy no DVD -R. Can anyone share some light onto this problem?

sorry about that, it's working on my end.  Anyway, here is the exerpt that applies to you
The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Reset the Power Manager (PMU) or System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. For example a "combo drive" can read a DVD-R and burn a CD-R however it cannot burn a DVD-R. The utility System Profiler may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
If the discs continue to not be recognized, please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.
SMC RESET INSTRUCTIONS:
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Can't Back up iTunes library - DVDs keep getting rejected

    Have just upgraded to iTunes 7.1. Tried to use the Back Up function mentioned in "What's new...". Unfortunately, every time I try to back up the iTunes library to a blank DVD-RW, the computer fails to work out what the disc is and then spits it out. Why would that happen?
    Are some brands of DVD-RWs incompatible with Macs? Have tried TDK 4.7GB DVD-RW & Panasonic 4.7GB DVD+RWs. Both rejected.
    Any advice appreciated. Apart from buying an External HD; too strapped for cash!
    PowerBook 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    DVD-R or DVD-RW, either should be fine; it's the +R disks that won't work.
    The fact that -RWs won't work suggests to me that you may have a hardware problem with the drive (it's quite possible for a drive to be able to work with CDs but fail with DVDs or vice-versa). In any case, it's not an iTunes problem, so you might want to take the issue up in the PowerBook DVD forum. Someone there may be able to suggest something to try to determine if it's an OS or hardware problem.

  • E-mail password keeps getting rejected

    e-mail password keeps getting rejected, asks to reente for IMAP server

    Gustavo, launch Keychain Access. Go to "login" keychain and then "Passwords". Double-click the entry for this email account and place a check mark beside "Show Password". You will be asked for your login password but you should be able to see what the password for this email account was.
    Let us know if this helps. Cheers!

  • The Password in Yahoo Mail keeps getting rejected in IMAP server in yahoo . The password is correct had reset it several times in mail preference.

    I keep getting my Yahoo mail password rejected. I think it is the server IMAP. I have gone into mail prefference reset it several times. I still get the pop up on Mac pro and I mac computers.

    Sounds more like your Yahoo mail account has been hacked. The hacker probably changed your password. Report it to Yahoo.

  • My outgoing email keeps getting rejected by server

    Hi All, I am using the mail app on my Iphone5.
    Just recently (within the last week) I've noticed that sometimes when I send an email it gets stuck in the outbox and when I try to send again I'll get an email saying that the sender gets rejected by the server.
    I'll retry several attempts to resend
    Then the error message changes to "Your username and password" are incorrect.
    I'll retry again and then it goes back to "sender rejected by server".
    It switches between those two error messages until FINALLY one email will eventually go through. It's quite frustrating.
    I've read some posts in which people are saying to go into the Outgoing Mail Server settings and make sure that my username and password are listed along with changing the SERVER PORT to #25
    The only problem is that all of those areas are grayed out. Any suggestions on how to make them accessible so I can put everything in there?

  • Burning a DVD - keep getting encoding errors message, help?

    I have a video that I made out of videos, photos, and music that is less than an hour in length.  I selected highest quality b/c it was less than the available 4.7 GB of available space.  It took over a day to burn and at the very end it gave me a message saying that it was having encoding errors.  Help!  I am trying to burn it again at reduced quality, but prefer to have it at highest quality.
    Thanks,

    Let us get the details into perspective and then we will advance from there.
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    What are the properties of the video that went on that Timeline....video compression, audio compression, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio....photos - how many and what pixel dimensions??
    Based on the properties of your source media, what did you or the project select as the project preset?
    When you go to the burn dialog for your burn to DVD, what did the quality area of the burn dialog show for Space Required and Bitrate (with a check mark next to "Fit Content to Available Space"? The only time I would work without the check mark there is if I was getting Data Rate Error message and I had to set the Bitrate manually to move forward.
    What is the exact wording of the message(s) that you are getting once you hit Burn in the burn dialog?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
    If you need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask for that clarification.
    Thank you.

  • I keep getting "Rejected by Server" when trying to send an email?

    Ok this doesnt happen all the time, but often enough to make it frustrating.
    Why am I getting this error message? I have not changed any details.
    [IMG]http://i578.photobucket.com/albums/ss224/JohnnyScience/photo-1.png[/IMG]

    "the recipient was rejected by the server" means the mail server doesn't like the recipient. This might mean that the server doesn't relay messages, or that you didn't authenticate with the server.
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/troubleshoot-550-553-and-relay-pr ohibited-errors-HA001112833.aspx

  • Every few weeks my password keeps getting rejected

    Hey all,
    I have a couple of gmail accounts and when using the Mail app, every few weeks my password comes back as rejected. I can log onto the accounts fine through a web browser so I know the passwords are still good.
    Here's the weird thing. After googling, I found some threads on other mac-related boards where people were having similar issues and found a solution: I need to turn off this thing called Captcha (sp?) and then everything works fine again.
    Does anybody know what this is and why it would need to be turned off every few weeks?

    For G-Mail, this is the link I use:

  • Can't Burn DVD - keep getting "Error during rendering/encoding"...Help!

    I have a new IMac computer with Leopard and I'm having problems burning DVDs. I created a project using IDVD and have audio and pictures (imported individually from Iphoto) that I created into slideshows. I'm try to burn my final copy and continue to receive the "Error during rendering/encoding" message. I looked at earlier threads and saw some people had success when saving it first to a disk image however when I attempted to do that I received the same error. I know I have plenty of memory space since this project is very small. Please let me know if you have any ideas!!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have a new mac with Leopard since a week, and I had the same problem ("error during rendering / encoding..."). This happened when burning to a disk image.
    I tried a lot of things :
    * very small project
    * create a new user
    * put pictures in a folder, and not drag them from iphoto
    * change the theme
    I still had the same problem.
    The last thing I tried was to put all the files used by idvd on the hard disk (instead of of an external firewire disk).
    It worked ! (with the small size project).
    I'm trying to burn the large project again...
    I will tell you if it succeeds...
    Best regards,
    Nicolas

  • My question actually has to do with mac mail. someone has corrupted it, and is using it to send out emails, which keep getting rejected. some of the strangest address's and so forth. anyone else had this problem? where and what can I do about it.

    my mac mail is corrupted or being infiltrated. emails are being sent to whomever and where ever. the recipients are not from my known contacts list, and these emails are also being rejected.  where can I report this problem to, specifically what can I do about it.

    Thinking about it, ClamX will find Windows as well as Mac malware. This might not have been a Mac trojan. Here's a list of recent Mac malware in the ClamX catalog.

  • Dvds keep getting ejected from the drive.

    powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   Ever since I've upgraded to OS10.4.8 my combo drive ejects some dvds, specifically dvd+r discs. What gives with that? Any help or workaround will be much appreciated. The following is my info.
    Machine Name: PowerBook G4
    Machine Model: PowerBook3,4
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 667 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 768 MB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.3.7f3
    powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    My PowerBook (Machine Model: PowerBook3,5) had the same issue when I first got it, over three years ago, and Apple declared it a faulty drive and replaced under Applecare.
    I had the same problem earlier this year, just before my extended Applecare ran out, and it was the same issue - faulty drive.
    The symptoms were - unable to read certain types of DVD (the machine would grind for a while, then spit them back out), including the Apple Hardware Test, but would readily read some other DVDs and all CDs.
    Hope this helps,
    Rich
    I forgot to say: this sound like something that shouldn't have an impact (I remember when it was the second step on every article regarding troubleshooting OS 7!), but resetting the PRAM would help about half the time for a temporary fix

  • Dvd either gets rejected or won't eject

    i just got my mac book pro about 5 months ago. I have recently ran into a problem with my dvd slot where at first when i would insert a dvd, it would automatically spit it back at no matter how many times i re-inserted it back in. But now that it takes my DVD, it won't eject it unless i tilt the whole laptop so that the dvd slot is perpendicular to my desk. It would also make large, deep scratches on my dvd once it's ejected. Please help me. THere may be something wrong inside because i do hear sounds of parts when i tilt me computer and i know that is not right.

    Wrong Forum. But, your SuperDrive is messed up. Call Apple Repair.
