DVD's play fine, but CD'splay for about 2 minutes then disk is rejected.

I have tried various commercially created music CD's and each one pops out after about 2 minutes. DVD's seem to play fine. I have reinstalled the device driver, but no help.
Any ideas?

Hi Alyn,
From 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, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive will now play CDs without stopping.

  • I have downloaded The Final by Wham (Deluxe edition) and most of the Videos only Play for about 2 minutes then freeze

    Hi all
    I am new to iphone and have just bought Wham The Final (deluxe edition) which includes all there videos.
    When i go to play the videos they play for about 2 minutes then they just freeze. Club tropicana does not even play at all.
    I have other video purchases which all play fine.
    Is there anywhere in itunes where you can re-download?
    Thanks in advance

    It's probably the new 'taste filter' trying to keep you from emberrasing yourself in public. Try playing them when you're alone. If it detects no one else is in the room, it may allow you to view them. 
    Seriously... Do they play in iTunes on your computer? If they're in your iTunes library, un-sync them from the phone, then sync them back.

    I downloaded the latest operating system for my iPhone 5.  It worked fine for about two minutes then the phone requested a password number to continue. Each time I inserted numbers, which were incorrect, the phone would lock up for a certain period of time.  Now, it says “iPhone is Disabled”.  It said to “Connect to iTunes” which I did, but iTunes does not recognize my phone.  If I scroll the face to the right, it goes to the phone number face and says, "No Service". Can I do something to make the phone work?

  • HT1551 I'm able to watch netflix's for about 15 minutes then the video goes black but I still have audio.

    I just set up my Apple TV. I'm able to watch netflix's for about 15 minutes then the video goes black but I still have audio.

    Is it always at the 15 minute mark?
    To make sure it's not a connectivity issue
    What is your connection via speedtest.net?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                       
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                       
    A third-party place like the following will replace yur battery for less. Google for more.

    Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. A replacement costs about $10

  • I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??

    Hello, I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??
    Also does anyone know how to take something from one picture and add it to another in aperature?
    Thank you!!!

    I had the exact same problem. Here is what an Apple Support person told me to do - and it worked like a charm!
    Go to your APPLICATIONS Folder. Find a folder within that folder called TOOLBARS. Remove the ENTIRE folder. Once you remove that folder, your Aperture should work perfectly.
    There is something in that folder that you don't need that messes with Aperture. Try it. Mine worked perfectly!

  • My phone keeps shutting down approx every 5-10min for about a minute then turns back on, I have updated the software so thats not the problem, anyone have any ideas?

    My phone keeps shutting down approx every 5-10min for about a minute then it turns back on itself. I have updated the software so thats not the issue, any suggestions?

    Do you have a case on the iPhone or have you damaged it in anyway? If you have a case, try testing without the case.
    Also, try restoring the iPhone and testing it as a new device.
    If that doesn't take care of it, get a Genius to take a look at it or setup service online.

        I'm confident that if you have spoken with our Fraud Team directly, that there are the proper wheels in motion to resolve all of the concerns that occured as a result of the fraudulant order on your account. It may take up to 2 bill cycles for all the adjustments to be applied and the changes made to your account to bring the dates and eligibility back to normal, so you should definitely be nearing the end of your wait. Based on your description, it may have been a while since you spoke with them directly instead of the customer service team, so I encourage you to give them a call at your earliest convenience to put your worries at ease. If you need to make arrangements for the charges that appear on your account, our Financial Services Team at 866-266-1445 will also be able to help possibly place a hold on the account regarding the disputed charges so there's no accidental inturruption in your service due to this unfortunate situation.

  • An Animated GIF displays, i.e. moves, for about 5 minutes, then freezes. Other GIFs from the site work indefinitely, and this GIF works indefinitely on IE. Why does it freeze in Firefox?

    An Animated Avatar GIF file moves as expected for about 5 minutes, and then freezes. Other animated avatars from the same site work fine, and move indefinitely. To confirm that the site had not exchanged the file for a non-animated version, I right-clicked and selected 'View Image Info' and when I did so, it moved for about half a second. (The image file was the one uploaded.) Loaded the page in IE, this avatar moves indefinitely.
    Any ideas why an animated GIF stops in Firefox?

    The answer is that Animated GIF files include a Loop Enable Flag as well as a Loop Limit Count. This GIF had a count which should have allowed it to loop for almost 2 hours. But in Firefox it only loops for about 5 minutes.
    It appears Firefox is misinterpreting this value to be a Frame Count rather than a Cycle Count.
    Is there any Firefox Employees reading this, and can acknowledge this has been added to their Opportunity (a.k.a. Bug) List?

  • TS2972 the homesharing on my apple tv works for about 5 minutes then stops working

    I had to have my the hard drive on my computer reformatted and then reload all the programs.  Since then when I pull up pictures on my TV through Homesharing, it works for about 5 minutes and then disconnects.  I have extended the time until the screen saver comes on and the time for the computer to go to sleep, but it does not seem to make any difference.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • I have 10.8.3 installed. I use Cisco VPN but this hangs after 57 minutes and 35 seconds. I disconnect but can't reconnect straight away but have to wait about 10 minutes then have another 57 minutes

    I use a mac with 10.8.3 installed. I use Cisco VPN & citrix receiver to connect to work via my home wireless which connects & works brilliantly but then hangs after 57 minutes and about 35 seconds. I disconnect but can't reconnect straight away although it goes through the motions but doesn't find a connection. I have to wait about 10 minutes (or restart the MAC) then it connects fine again and I have another 57 minutes. I previously used 10.6 for a while without any problems and then the VPN just stopped connecting? after trying to resolve without success I upgraded the OS hoping that this might fix the issue which it has but created this other problem! I can live with it but thought there may be some way to correct this surely.  I'm not heavily technically minded and have read reports about the racoon service may be causing this but not sure how you do this very simply step by step
    Thank you for any ideas you can give
