DVD slot-loading not working

Guys,
Please help me.
Tried to insert a DVD but slot-loading failed to suck in the disc. I was worried that the disc might clog or be stuck up inside. Its a good thing a portion(very tiny) of the disc is protruding from the slot. I carefully(using pliers) to extract the disc and I did. Now, I don't want to insert any disc inside. Hence, I can't watch any DVD on my MacBook.
Please help. Thanks.

Hi there, I would recommend scheduling a visit, provided that you have access to an Apple store and don't mind waiting for a little while for help.
I had the same problem with my MacBook over the summer. Whenever I would play a DVD, the drive would make a strange noise and often shut down completely. I was an idiot and got a DVD stuck in the drive; took it it the Apple Genius Bar and they had to remove it for me. It turns out that my optical drive has to be completely replaced and it is not under warranty. It's about $350 to fix, according to the 'Genius Bar guy.' I would really recommend getting it looked at before it gets worse.
Good Luck!

  • The dvd slot is not working

    i was just having a dvd burned yet it was showed that the dvd verify was failed, then the dvd slot ejected the dvd automatically,
    now the slot is like blocked and no more dvds could be inserted, no matter how many times i tried to reboot the computer, the slot is still not working.

    Sounds like the dvd drive has failed. You can have it replaced by apple or you can buy a external dvd drive that connects by usb port. Any brand external dvd drive will work with your mac. It doesn't have to a apple brand.

    My superdrive has always been sensitive to dirt and smudges. Memorex and other mfgs make a DVD cleaner disk that has little bristles on the DVD to brush the dust away. Vacuuming the slot can also clean out dust buildup. Also there are disk polishers that can repair scratched CDs and DVD if they become unreadable.

  • Satellite P25-S520 - DVD drive is not working properly

    Fix DVD Drive or buy external drive
    My DVD drive is not working properly, in fact it may never have been working proper. Recently I tried to back up my PC to a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize the DVD was present. I then tried writing a text file to a DVD and was unsuccessful. Both DVD+R and DVD-R media were tried (Maxwell 16X).
    I could have probably lived with this however, I got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my neighbors laptop and it was recognized.
    An attempt at updating the driver was also unsuccessful.
    I was able to rip a music CD last night so that at least is working correctly.
    Does anybody know how I can fix this? The important part is being able to load my new program.
    Searching some forums I've found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive cannot be fixed I am not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately where I live there are no brick-and-mortar stores which sell external drives and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can anyone suggest an external USB drive which will read and write CDs and DVDs and which is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?

    Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.
    However you wont be able to boot of CD's (Run Recovery for example) if you use an external drive.
    So your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and ask for a quotation.

    I installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.5. Now my DVD player will not work. Any ideas?

    Problem solved. Yes, it was a coincidence. The problem had to do with my DVD preferences, not the Adobe installation. Thanks for your reply.

  • Application loader not working on blackberry curve 8310

    Hi all,
    I have some problem with my 8310. I want to install a asian langague, but application loader not working. I have a error message :
    "The blackberry desktop software does not have
    Blackberry device software for the device that
    you have connected to the computer. Contact
    your wireless service provider or system administrator"
    blackberry desktop manager version 4.2.2.14
    blackberry device manager version 4.2.2.10
    application loader version 4.2.2.16
    What is the good package to install ?
    Thanks in advance.

    hello, you have a 8310. You must use an OS for the exact model. Using one for 8300 or 8330 will not work.

  • Card slot does not work after update (14/10/2011)

    Card slot does not work after yesterday update (14/10/2011)! It works with my SD card month ago, but now it dosn't!!!
    MacBook Pro 13 OS ver. 10.6.8

    Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

  • My mac book pro fell of my desk, everything seems fine, but the dvd drive is not working properly, any suggestions

    My mac book fell of my desk yesterday. All seems well, but I noticed today that the dvd drive is not working properly, it seems to want to keep ejecting the disk even when the disk is out, and it won't accept dvd's any more. Any suggestions o fellow apple users?

    Back up EVERYTHING, then take it in to have them assess for any latent damage. Wouldn't want a similar "delayed reaction" from the hard disk drive, would we? 

  • Dvd player does not work after Leopard upgrade

    I installed Leopard, had to upgrade because my printer died and no printers now work with Tiger.  Since the upgrade, my DVD player does not work.  I have problems burning some cd's too.  Is this a known issue?  What is the fix?

    I have read a couple of complaints like that, but not sure it's widespread.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
    Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    If that does NOT help, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    If that does NOT help then I suspect the optical drive or media itself, or possibly just needs a cleaning CD run on it.
