DVD's won't mount ( I know lots of people have this problem)

I know lots of people have been having the same problem, Dvd's burn and mount okay until you take them out and then they won't re-mount.
My G5 has been doing this for ages, but today the superdrive died altougher.
So my question is - Does any know if replacing the pioneer 106d will also cure the Dvd problem?

I'm sorry but I can't answer this question.. All I can say is that a lot of people on this forum are experiencing the same problem. Sadly, I'm out of support and can't get apple to even discuss this with me. My DVD read blanks no problem until I installed the latest iTunes and added an iPhone. Now I'm having the exact same problem as you. This is driving me mad as I know it's not hardware and must be something to do with one of apple's flakey updates.. Do you have support on your G5?

  • I have bought unlocked iphone5 in USA on apple  store. In Europe (Croatia) I get "no service" message on daily basic. any suggestion how to fix this problem? Are apple working on some update to fix this, because I saw lot of people have similar problem.

    I tried all resets.

    Does it work sometimes, or never? If it never works that means that the phone was not unlocked. If it works sometimes most likely it is a network problem with the carrier. If you think it might be the phone go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings. You may also need a new SIM card from your carrier.
    If it is a phone hardware problem you must return the phone to the US for service, as iPhones are only repaired by Apple in the country where they were purchased.

  • Will apple ever acknowledge the issue with premature failure of iphone5 batteries? A lot of people have problems with them dying at random percentages. Mine just died at 33% restarted it now I've been at 1% with non stop use for over an hour!

    My battery has been acting ridiculous on my phone. It shuts down at random percentages ranging from 60% down. I'll be using it with plenty of battery life left on the meter then I get the ring of death and it'll show a dead battery icon wanting charged. At this point I either have to plug it in or I have discovered I can hold down the home and lock button for a minute and it'll come back on still showing plenty of charge. I've read a lot of people have this issue. I've seen the recommendation of re calibrating the battery by fully draining and charging multiple times. I've done that with no results. I've also tried the recommendation of resetting the phone and doing a full restore which also doesn't work.
    I believe it's either a sub standard battery or possible a software or other hardware issue.
    Has anyone ever gotten apple to admit the Iphone5 battery has issue?
    I have 9 total apple devices in my household as far back as second gen iPod touch. All of my devices still hold power like new except my iPhone5.

  • CD/DVD's won't mount to desktop

    CD/DVD's won't mount to desktop. All of the boxes under PREFERENCES->GENERAL are checked. When I hold the "C" key during start up with the OS/X install disc 1, it still boots from the hard drive.
    I can open the disc tray with the keyboard eject button; the eject logo appears on screen.
    Any help?

    Hello Justin,
    First, are you using an external CD/DVD drive?
    Second, if not, try starting up holding down the Option key until you see the Startup Manager (which will show all bootable systems available). Either click on or use the Tab key to get to the startup disk you want.

  • HT204382 i have a dvd disk with a few movies on it but they are AVI files and are not playing, does anyone know how i can resolve this problem?

    hi, i have a macbook and have been trying to play a dvd disk i have with some movies on them. well besically they wont play as theyre AVI files, does anyone know how i can solve this problem?

    You can download and install MPlayerX free from Apple App Store. Works great for AVI and other movie formats. I had issues with some AVI's and MPlayerX resolved them.

  • I downloaded a movie to my Air, but it won't sync to my ipad2 and says it's not authorized.  It's not a rental.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve?

    I downloaded a movie to my Air, but it won't sync to my ipad2 and says it's not authorized.  It's not a rental.  Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve?

    I ended up having a one hour conversation with Apple Support which evolved to handing over control of my screen and then eventually having to use Terminal.  I wish I could remember the command but it's probably best I don't. 
    One thing we looked at right away was the account name used to dowload the movie.  Is it the same as the account name  you have saved on your iPad.  That's easy to check and would be great if that is all that's needed to correct.  Good luck.
    Here's also an email I got from Support that could solve your problem if it's not as difficult as my issue was.
    I would like to inform you that this issue can occur if iOS (your device's operating system) on your device needs to be updated. It can also happen if the computer you're trying to sync from has not been authorized to play purchases you are trying to sync.
    I suggest that you first see if updating iOS on your iPad resolves the issue. This article will walk you through the process:
    Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If there are still purchases that won't sync to your device after you update its software, I suggest reauthorizing your computer. To do so, follow these steps:
    1) Open iTunes.
    2) From the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Deauthorize Computer.
    3) Enter your account name and password, then click Deauthorize.
    4) Now from the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Authorize Computer.
    5) Enter your account name and password, then click Authorize.
    Once your computer has been authorized, try syncing your device again. If the same issue happens, I suggest reviewing the following articles:

  • Why won't apple create a grooveshark app for the iPod when android is because a lot of people have grooveshark accounts?

    Why wont apple let grooveshark great an app for the iPod when android and Microsoft have because apple is missing out in a big opportunity because a lot of people have grooveshark accounts?

    Why won't groovershark create an app for Apple's IOS products?  They're missing out on a big opportunity because a lot of people have iPods and iPads and iPhones.

    I will be most appreciative for any help.

    Have you ever checked to see if there is an update for your router? If yes, then power off router. Then on iPhone go into settings and do a reset network settings. Power router back on, and try connecting phone to router.

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
