Dvd player ejects discs

When I insert a cd or dvd in the cd/dvd player it trys to start playing the cd/dvd then ejects it after about 15-20 seconds

You can try a DVD lens cleaner disk. It may work if the optics are dirty. If that does not work, look at this:

HT1338 my dvd player ejects disc when inserted

my dvd player ejects disc when inserted on my macbook pro running on 10.8.4 OS X

Sounds like it could be a problem with your DVD drive. Usually it would be a problem with the lens. Since as far as I can tell it is ejecting discs right away, the usual fix of a cleaning disc is not possible.
If it is a slot loader like the offical Apple SuperDrive, you may be able to try a crude clean with the Wii Lens Cleaning Kit, although designed for the Nintendo Wii, it should work to a degree with other slot loaders.
Due to the design of the cleaner, it should remain in the drive until it is time to remove it. Though usually a dirty lens will still read some discs.
However, if the lens is sufficiently clean then the only other possibilities are a calibration problem or a hardware failure.
Certain lower quality drives can deviate from optimal calibration of the read laser over time, though with some drives it is possible to fix this, the fix has the potential to do more harm than good.
If it's a hardware failure, whether it can be fixed depends upon the type of fault, but new external drives are cheaper than most repair costs these days.
I'm not 100% familar with how OS X handles Disc drives, so I can't rule out the possibility of a software issue.

DVD player ejects dvds and won't play

i upgraded to snow leopard and added memory to my macbook and now the dvd player just ejects dvd's. not sure if it's related. help please!

Did you use the retail 10.6 installer that looks like . If not, then you used the wrong disc and only that disc will install properly.

One Step DVD in Mac OS X DVD Player = "Supported disc not available"

I created a few simple movies in iMovie HD 6 and burned them in iDVD 6 as One Step DVDs from the iMovie Project file using Verbatim 2x DVD-R discs. The final DVDs have no trouble playing in my standard component DVD players, however they won't play on any of my Macs. I get a "Supported Disc Not Available" error message when I launch DVD Player.
Is there a compatibility problem between DVD Player and DVDs burned with iDVD??

My version of DVD Player is 4.6.5 which works fine, but I don't EVER make OneStep DVDs. Check your version.

DVD player unsupported disc

Every disc, brand new will not play on the DVD player. Anyone else have this issue, or can suggest third party app to resolve.

no idea i rebooted and all works !?

TV w/Built-in DVD Player ejects disks without playing

I purchased this Toshiba 15LV505 15.6-Inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built-in DVD Player (Black)< Order #002-2619780-0839408 in April 2010.
I have never tried to use the DVD player until recently.
When I tried the DVD player it simply kicked the disk back out, after a couple of seconds, with no error message. I have tried several disks from Netflix, always with the same results.
I did some research and the Toshiba site says this problem is associated with the following:
Disc's may not playback properly because of region code settings on the disc do not match the player.
    The DVD standard include codes to prevent playback of certain discs in certain geographical regions.
    Each player is given a code for the region in which it's sold.
    The player will refuse to play discs that are not coded for its region.
    Regional codes are entirely optional for the maker of a disc.
Discs without region locks will play on any player in any country. It's not an encryption system, it's just one byte of information on the disc that the player checks. Check the disc or disc manufacture for the region code setting of the disc.
My question is this: Is it possible that this TV/DVD player won't accept disks made for the U.S market?

No, that model should be capable of playing US-region discs. It sounds like a hardware failure.

Cd/dvd drive ejecting discs

all of a sudden my powerbook ejects cds and dvds without reading the media. the motor goes through its few second start up process but spits the disc out. not media related as these are discs that have played before. any ideas?

Have you put the data-side of the CD/DVD down ? This is not meant offending, but some people are just need to turn upside down the CD and it works
Note that unusually shaped CDs cannot be used. Also ensure that the CD/DVD is clean. Can you read them in other drives ?

My DVD player ejects disks automatically when i insert a disk. PRAM REST and ran Disk Utility. Still the same. Now I got a DVD Cleansing Disk and still gets ejected automatically without a spin. Does anyone know what the problem is?

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.

Sudden loss of audio in "DVD Player" app

I'm not sure where to post this so I am not sure if this can be redirected to the proper forum, but my problem is that audio worked fine while watching movies in the DVD Player app (default app) and just now I paused a movie to grab some food and when I hit play I lost audio...I switched DVD's and still nothing..I went on youtube and itunes and the audio works fine there...so I am totally clueless to what the problem here is..

Check the settings in the "Audio": section of DVD Player's "Disc Setup" preference.

DVD Player volume fluctuations

Hi,
Has anyone had problems with their DVD Player fluctuating the volume for no reason. I play a DVD and the volume will suddenly drop and then slowly rise or suddenly rise up again. I have no other problems with the drive,i.e playing CDs etc. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing it?
Thanks
Mark

Disable Dolby in DVD Player's "Disc Setup" Preference.

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

DVD Player freezing - Refuses to eject disc

I have a blue G4 400Mhz PowerMac (I think they called them Sawtooth) which keeps playing up when I try to watch DVD's on it.
When I try and play a DVD it will usually play it fine, however should I leave it on pause or at a menu for a certain amount of time the computer will go to sleep. This should be no problem, but when I wake up the machine the DVD Player will crash (can only be closed with Force Quit) and my Mac will refuse to acknowledge that there is a DVD in the drive until I reboot (with the button on the front, click restart from the Apple menu will just cause the beach-ball to spin endlessly)
I never seem to get this problem when using the G5 or iBook so it would seem to be a problem with just the G4.
I recently switched the drive for an old Pioneer I had kicking around as the stock one could no longer read CD's, but the same problems still persist.
Any help would be much appreciated.

"..I recently switched the drive for an old Pioneer I had kicking around as the stock one could no longer read CD's, but the same problems still persist..."
If the issue exists regardless of what optical drive you are using, set ENERGY SAVER to Sleep - NEVER, and uncheck "HDD sleep whenever possible".
