DVD won't eject after installation

I have just installed elements 11 and premier elements 11 and installation seemed to go OK. After installation the DVD door won't open to retreive the DVD. I have never had this happen before. Any suggestions?

Restart the computer and remove the discs.

ML dvd won't eject after use

This issue has been happening ever since I upgraded to ML.
I insert a DVD and after I use the drive for any purpose then try to eject the disc it will not eject unless I reboot the machine. I have tried everyway there is to eject and the OS responds as if it did but it doesn't eject. I can't remount it either. The other thing to note is when this has happend Disc Utilitiy won't run at all.
I am on the latest ML version.
Thank you!

This didn't help. My issue is I can't eject the DVD after it's use without rebooting so I am not sure what repairing volumes would do for that. I did try it thought on every volume but it operates the same.

DVDs won't mount after Security Update 2006-004

DVDs won't mount after installing Security Update 2006-004 via the Software Updater in OS 10.3.9. CDs work OK.
I've repaired permissions, reset PRAM, tried booting in OS 9.2.2 but can't get the DVDs to mount/play or be seen by disk utility.
Please help.

Thanks

How recently before installing the Security Update did you use the DVD drive (for DVDs)? If it was not immediately before the update, the two are probably not related. Also, if you restarted in Mac OS 9 and the DVD drive still does not work, it would seem to indicate the problem is hardware, not software.
You can try opening up the iMac and checking the connections to the DVD drive. Also, it is possible that your PRAM battery is dying (unless you have replaced it recently); that can cause unexpected problems.

DVD won't eject and MacBook pro 2,16 new

On a new Macbook pro 2,16 last generation the Disk won't eject, I have tried F12 and start but won't come out, anybody had the same problem the MAC try to eject the DVD but it won't come out

I would like to share with you my experience.
Only 2 hours after buying the MBP, I decided to re-install all the system to save space inHDD.
The second disk was stuck, I tried to pull it out without success.
I tried to see whet happened and i concluded that the CD hit the top of the slot.
So I decided to push with my thumb, reasonnably on the right hand side part of the computer (close to the trackpad) to move down the SuperDrive...An it worked.
I have to mention that I trid to find in the NET what was the fittings condition of the SD, and I knew there was some degree of feedom verticaly. I assumed it was just a matter of few millimeters.

Won't read DVD, won't eject it either

Just got a new refurbished macbook, and whenever i put in a DVD the DVD doesn't show up on the screen, and it only plays after a few minutes. It is also difficult to eject the DVD and won't until after several tries

It reads and burns CD's and CD-R's no problem. It will read and play any DVD-R that was NOT burned using iDVD. (A standalone DVD recorder) I just burned a quick test DVD-R with iDVD 5.0.1. Interesting that it plays fine in both the imac; PC and a conventional home DVD player.
However, any DVD-R that was burned on the imac using iDVD PRIOR to Tiger will NOT read. (the imac claims it is blank)- I have trouble shooted it to be a Tiger and/or idvd 5.0.1 problem with DVD-R media. In summary, everything burns and reads EXCEPT for DVD-R media created with iDVD AFTER Tiger. I can play on the imac a DVD-R burned with iDVD after Tiger.
DVD-Rs created not using Tiger that were burned two years ago on a standalone machine play fine. So this seems to be a post Tiger issue with DVD-R media. Pretty crazy stuff.

Quicktime 7.1.1 won't open after installation

I-tunes and Final Cut Pro won't open either. I just get the spinning wheel of death.
I've deleted and re-installed it twice, repaired permissions and even tried to install an older version of Quicktime to get my system back. Does anyone know what is happening here? I just upgraded the OS to 10.3.9.
Dual 1Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Should you need Quicktime 7, a Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is also available for use with older media or with existing AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.
To install the QuickTime Player 7 from the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD:
Insert your Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Install DVD.
Open the Optional Installs folder and double-click "Optional Installs.mpkg".
Select the QuickTime 7 option and click Continue.
QuickTime Player 7 will be installed in your Utilities folder.
Note: If you double-click any media that requires QuickTime Player 7 for playback and it is not already installed, you will be asked if you want to download it from Apple.
Hope this going to solve your problems.

Leopard DVD won't boot after bad install

I ran the leopard installation yesterday and I realized that i needed to do some more work on the drive before i installed, so i clicke cancel and restarted the computer. Now the dvd won't boot. I installed tiger again(came with laptop) and tried doing various other things with the disk. Almost any ntensive use of the disk (booting from it, trying to clone it, etc.) will result in the superdrive powering up and then down repeatedly, sans result. I left the leopard dvd to boot for hours and when it tries it gets to the grey logo and the drive does that power up/down cycle endlessly. I can boot from ubuntu's disk and the tiger disk that came with my computer. The disk mounts to the desktop, btw, and i can browse the files and everything. Apple support was no help.

I've been doing some work with the disk. I did another attempt at creating a dmg from it and got the same result, so I googled the error which led me to a thread on this site with a similar issue. The error was input/output error. They found that it was due to a corrupt file... so I did a cp -r of the disk and it said that a few files did not exist:
cp -r "Mac OS X Install DVD" /Users/mattebooks/Desktop/Leopard
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.5.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.1.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk.dylib: No such file or directory
cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
So I set Finder to show hidden files and went to these files libpython and libpython2.5 are aliases of libpython2 and libpython2 is an alias of a file in a non-existing folder. A little more digging and I find out that the python, ruby, tcl and tk framework folders are all missing, all from the same folder... interesting. Maybe I could add the files in and reburn the disk. My guess is that the loader looks for these files repeatedly. The path to the files is /System/Library/Frameworks/... If anyone could email these to me I could try and rebuild the disk...

Assistant NET8 and DBCA won't start after installation HELP

HEllo,
I've installed oracle 9.01 and later on 8.1.7 i cannot use the assistants net 8 and dbca after installation. Does anybody have the same problem. I think is has something to do with jre versions.
I alse got the same problem when i installed db9.0 and oracle appserver 1.2.2.2 on the same machine. SOme config assistant won't start after install.
ALready tnx.
Francus

Hello, yogendra k saini
I'd installed oracle90 and 1.2.2 in different oracle homes. There was no error message. When i pressed the icon. Nothing happens.
Yesterday i installed also a 8.1.7 database on the same machine as the 9.0.1.4 database. After a reinstallation of appserv 1.2.2a everything seems to work fine.
but it is still a mystery for me why, because when i only install a 9.0.1.4 database and appserv 1.2.2.2 something goes wrong. Maybe APpserv 1.2.2. doesn't work fine with 9.0 database. That's not exactly true because i used appserv 1.2.2 for forms en reports...

Problem: DVD won't loop after burning in iDVD '08

I need help.
I made a slideshow in Keynote '08 and sent it directly to iDVD (iLife'08) for burning. I wanted to burn it to DVD and have it show continuously (loop) at a kiosk.
I selected the presentation and had set iDVD (Advance Menu) to "Loop". The loop icon showed up on the "map menu" for the selected presentation.
As I read in other forums, I also set the "button" for Play Movie with a TRANSITION.
After burning and playing it on two DVD players, the DVD won't automatically loop. It just freezes after it completes one play.
I also did the "REPEAT" button on the DVD Player Remote and still won't loop.
I went back to iDVD and removed the Loop option and burned DVD. I was hoping that I can play it back with just setting the DVD player itself to REPEAT disc. Again, the DVD won't repeat or loop.
I also converted the keynote presentation to quicktime first then moved it to iDVD for conversion and burning to DVD. The results are the same above.
I need to know if there is a step I am missing or a procedure not followed properly.
Thanks in advance!

Check these instructions from iDVD Help to see if you missed anything.
+_Here are ways to turn looping on or off_:+
+Double-click a slideshow button on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor. Click the Settings button and select the “Loop slideshow” checkbox.+
+Select a slideshow icon in map view, and then press Command-I to open the Slideshow Info window. Select the “Loop Slideshow” checkbox, and then close the window.+
+Click a movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu, or a movie, slideshow, or autoplay movie icon in map view, to select it, and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
+When looping is turned on, a checkmark appears next to the command in the menu. To turn off looping, select it again to remove the checkmark.+
+To turn looping off for a background movie on a menu, open the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (but with no buttons or text items selected), press Command-I. Move the Loop Duration slider to zero.+
If you have followed these directions and are still having the same problem, give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
Do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
If the problem persists, do the following for troubleshooting purposes. While working on your project in iDVD, create a disk image. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. You will be able to see just how your project will work when viewed on a regular DVD player. You will be able to catch errors and correct them before burning and possibly wasting a disk. If the disk image plays correctly, then you know that the encoding is being done correctly. This would point to problems with the burn process. If there are problems with the disk image, then the issue is with encoding.
I hope this helps.

My dvd won't eject

I bought my desktop 27 inch mac last year and haven't had any problems. however, suddenly when I put in a dvd, i get a message that the disc is not supported. Mind you, I'm inserting dvd's from Netflix and legit manufacturers. Today, I tried to circumvent the problem by opening dvd player before inserting the disc only to get the same message; and now the disc won't eject via the player, or via the keyboard. I'm stumped.

Hi, orange07 -
Don't know about the DVD not working. But, to eject it try this:
Restart. Immediately press the left mouse button, keep it held down. This is a hardware-based instruction to the Mac to eject all removable media.

TC Won't Eject After Backup

My TC has always performed flawlessly. Recently I have noticed the backup desktop image does not eject after the backup is complete. I have to manually eject it under Finder. Any thoughts on this?

There is nothing wrong with this. Mine does the same thing occasionally.

Iphoto won't start after installation from dvd

Hi.
I installed iphoto 11 from the DVD.
Then, before running it for the first time, I used software update to check for latest updates. I installed them.
Finally I run iPhoto. A window appears telling that if I want to run iPhoto i must install latest version upgrade.
I run software update again but it finds nothing!
What can I do?
Regards
Alberto

Download and apply the iPhoto 9.1 updater and then the 9.3 updater. If that doesn't work delete the application and reinstall it and then go the 9.1 and 9.3 route.

My dvd doesn't work after installation of Mavericks, any suggestions?

After installing Mavericks 10.9.2 my DVD quit working. It will load try to read and then eject.

PRAM reset would also be worth trying.

Blang DVD won't eject

While I was playing using VMWare Fusion I have inserted a blank DVD in the drive. I have a Macbook 1,3 running Leopard. I guess because playing with Fusion the DVD drive was not mounted either in Mac OS neither in Ubuntu (running inside VMWare Fusion). I cannot eject the DVD anymore. I have tried:
- to press the trackpad button pressed while booting
- reset the PRAM (Command - Option - P - R)
- reset the PMU (remove the power cord and the battery and keep the power button on for 10s)
- I have even tried to boot into single user mode (Command - S) and after performing:
/sbin/mount -uw /
/sbin/SystemStarter
it just hangs and could see the messages:
IOATAController device bocking bus
and the prompt is not returned.
My Macbook boots but it takes a loooong... time to boot now.
The System Profiler shows the DVD drive as being OK.
What should I do to remove the drive? This is a blank DVD, I don't care to damage it, just I want to eject it somehow...
Please help!
Thanks
Codrut

I don't know why, after resetting the PRAM, PMU several times I managed to eject the CD by pressing the trackpad (mouse) button. Now drutil can see the drive:
codrut-popescus-macbook:~ codrutpopescu$ drutil list
Vendor Product Rev Bus SupportLevel
1 MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857D KBVB ATAPI Apple Shipping
I guess I can close this thread.
Thanks

Help! the DVD won't eject from my Macbook.

I turned it off for an hour to cool down and try again but it still won't work.
It's making the eject noise but the DVD doesn't come out, and it just seems to restart the film again as though I've put in a new DVD.

hold down the mouse / trackpad button when restarting the computer until the disc ejects
