Dvd r wont read in my computer

Has anyone else had a problem with a DVD+R not reading in the DVD drive on the Mac?

In your System Profiler under "More Info">Disk burning, it should list the compatible DVD formats.

  • My dvd drive wont read (or even accept the existense of cds) much less burn them. HEEELLLLPPP

    my dvd drive wont do alot of the things it is supposed to like burn cds, or even recognize them, also when I went to my profiler it says the drive doesnt exist. as far as I know the model is an  MATSHITA DVD R UJ 875. my computer will still read dvds, but if there is a cd inserted, then it makes some aggrivating noises and then spits it out, I know little to nothing about SERIOUS computer work, like firmware patches, or bridges or whatever the terms are. When I try to burn anything, it cycles almost burns, but then, like clockwork. the error messafe pops up that  there is an un expected error. I am at my witts end here is there any thing I can do to fix this problem, without spending money I really dont have right now? (I am going to school and it starts this thursdaty) or should I just get my SKS out and fix the problem with a Full metal jacket?  someone help. if need be my email is [email protected] Please help me if you can.
    Thanks all

    Try resetting PRAM…

  • Dvd drive wont read discs; want to use a .dmg to play Prey

    My dvd drive is shot, just like everyone else in this freakin forum. The tricky part is im in afghanistan, yay.. so i cant call apple and get it replaced, so i want to use a .dmg that i made from a friends macbook to play the game Prey cause i can't use the disc, but when i mount it and click on the application it says insert the disc or press quit. what am i doing wrong?

    It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. Many games require that you have the DVD inserted to play. This prevents someone from making copies (or images) and using them on other machines (pretty much exactly what you're trying to do). While you have a legit issue, far more often, people would make copies for their friends to use without them purchasing the game. It is becoming more common for companies to use other types of DRM which do not require the original media to be used... but many of these options end up in up-roars from consumers as well. If you do in-fact own the game, there are options for removing the requirement that the CD/DVD be inserted in order to play. You can do a search using whatever search engine is available to you to get some options.

I cant use recovery cds because there CDS. Please Help!!!!!!!!!
    It's probable that the CD 'side' of the combo drive has failed.  That you cannot boot from the recovery CD is pretty much proof of the failure.  

  • Wont read dvds

    OSX wont read my all my burnt DVDs. Some of them work, but not all.
    Any fix for this?

    Hi, Bill.
    First, patience is a virtue here. There's no commitment that any question posted here will be answered in any given time period. All answers are posted by volunteers on a best-effort basis.
    I'd recommend that you check Console for clues, i.e. specific error messages that may display in the Console logs when the DVDs fail to "work."
    Also, think about what differentiates those that "work" from those that don't.
    Likewise, please define what you mean by "work." For example, do you mean DVD Player doesn't open? Are these video or data DVDs? etc.
    As you can see from the questions I've asked above, you've also not provided much info in your original post, so perhaps that may explain why no one answered. Providing details in a well-crafted question helps one to get answers.
    Good luck!

    My Time Capsule has been backing up without any problems and all of a sudden it stops reading on my computer. The external hard drive beeps three times and the motter wont run within. The light that usually blinks while in use is no longer blinking and is on constant. What happened?

    Sorry we are unclear as to the external hard drive and its connection to the TC..
    For instance the light that blinks.. is that the TC or external hard disk or what.
    Did you try just rebooting / restart the whole network in correct order.. modem.. router / TC.. external drive.. clients with 2min gap between each.
    Are you actually running Snow Leopard as the profile states?
    How old is the TC?

  • Superdrive accepts DVDs but wont even read CDs?

    I'm new to Mac's. Just bought it 2 days ago. It will show DVDs but when i put a CD (blank or even from the store) it just whirls it around for like 10secs then spits it out. It doesn't even show it on the desktop. Someone please help me (and explain with detail I'm new)

    In the System Preference panels, there is one named CDs & DVDs
    and it is possible the computer has been set to Ignore or eject blank
    media of this type; since that option exists in this control panel.
    System Preferences should be available in the menu beneath the
    Blue Apple, and also in the Dock.
    {PS: Where did you get a 'new iMac G5' in these days of Intel® iMacs?}
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • A215-S7422 CD/DVD WONT READ

    MY CD/DVD WONT READ. HELP.

    Hi,
    First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
    Vista
    Check if the drive is now working.
    If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter. 
    Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager.  Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives.  Right click the drive and select uninstall.  Do not delete drivers if asked.  When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ).  Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
    Regards,
    DP-K
