DVD Wont Load and Automatically Ejects After Upgrading to OS X 10.5.7

I took the updates last night for 10.5.7 , iTunes, etc, and now when I insert a DVD (data disc burned from the same MacBook Pro and used to work fine), it just ejects the DVD after a minute or so. I rebooted the MacBook Pro, and it still happens. There are no messages in /var/log/system that yield any clues. I set CD & DVD options to "ignore" for music, pictures and video CD/DVD.
This is a huge problem for me. As I said, it's a data disc not a movie, and I need this stuff for work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.

I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

  • Firewire disk automatically ejects after sleep mode

    I have Maxtor OneTouch Firewire drive that occassionally will automatically eject after after my system awakes from sleep mode. Usually just need to power down the disk and then power back up for it to reconnect, but sometimes that doesn't even work. I have latest firmware from Maxtor, but that didn't help. This is really starting to annoy me. Any ideas?

    No ideas? anyone??

  • When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  Any suggestions?

    When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works!  I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info???  Any suggestions?

    To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
    I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
    Best of luck.

  • Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBookPro ?

    Why has my Safari and MAIL slowed after upgrading to Mountain Lion ? I have mid-2009 MBPro and have very fast Internet access router.

    I have noticed the same thing on my MAC.  Mail has become very "clunky"- Before Mountain Lion, whenever I clicked on a msg or a function (delete), it would respond immediately.  With Mountain Lion there is an unacceptable hesitation.  What is going on with this latest update?

  • Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

    I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
    First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
    The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
    Good luck

  • HT4623 Can not get pass Term and Conditions page after upgrade?

    Can not get pass the Terms and Conditions page after upgrade?

    Restart your phone and if that doesn't help, reboot the device.
    Restart the iPhone by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPhone by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the phone start up.

  • IPhone wont show up in itunes after upgrading to leopard and iLife 08

    Hello:
    For some reason, my iphone does not show up on my itunes after upgrading my mac to leopard and ilife 08. The phone was syncing properly before the upgrade. I also installed all the patches that were available for downloading but I did not try syncing between the main update and patches. I am running itunes 7.6 and had been running 7.5.1 before that. My iphone is on firmware 1.1.2 and I have it set to manually sync. My ipod video is syncing fine but I had that set to automatic syncing.
    I checked the system profile and the usb is showing the iphone just fine.
    Can anybody help?

    Yup. It does work, had the exact same problem, iPhone showed in system profiler under USB, and iTunes would not recognize, reinstall fixed it all. It almost looks like a permission problem after the reinstall to where some .plist files got wrong settings set, repairing permissions might work too.

  • Keyboard: Lost Volume Controls and CD Eject after (****) RAM upgrade

    G5 1.8 MHz tower, OSX 10.4.8: Upgraded RAM, chips kept producing errors, so replaced them with different brand. However, during the error/shutdown/reboot process the apple volume keys and CD eject buttons stopped responding. Replaced keyboard with working spare, rebuilt permissions, tried disconnect and reconnect, changed keyboard for Macally Icekeys and installed software, zapped PRAM, carbon-copy cloned OS to another G5 (1.6 MHz) on which the keyboard worked, and found the error recurred after the new OS was up and running. Recurrs in admin and user boots on both G5's. Therefore must be in OS. Didn't want to do reinstall of OS, so hoped I could find relevant code and review it. Only effects the volume up, down, mute and CD eject keys on apple pro and macally keyboard. Now how's that for bizarre?
    Nothing in system prefs seems to permit modification of keyboard, Macally installation didn't fix it. Assume during reboots with faulty (unsuitable) RAM - which was DDR 400 3200U chips, 512Mb, 3.0n/s (not 2.5 - unobtainable here at present) the OS became corrupted. (Hence copying startup drive to other G5 reproduces the error.)
    Interestingly software options such as commandE in iTunes and Toast6 work to eject. I think therefore it's a keyboard recognition problem, only for those four keys.
    Nobody can say I don't try hard to cause (and resolve) problems.
    My FINAL SOLUTION will be to reinstall the OS, and do all the upgrades again, but I thought I'd see if anyone else had any thoughts. Oh, I didn't reset the CUDA switch once I'd decided it was probably software related.
    (Classics, SE's, LC's, PPC's) iMac's, eMac's, G3's, G4, G5's, G5 iMacs,Powerbook G3   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Reluctant PC user also (Don't ask)

    Further: Finally used Cartbon Copy Cloner to copy boot drive to spare HDD, then reinstalled OSX, copied original files/preferences etc back, and keyboard works, fully functional.
    Did have to do all the updates for OSX10.4 iof course. But still no anwer as to why?
    A failure to recognise keyboard, corrupt system files.
    No thoughts?
    No easier solution?

  • CDs not recognised and automatically ejected

    I have a 3 month old mac mini, yesterday I was putting CDs onto iTunes and having left a Cd in for maybe 20 mins (it went on to iTunes okay), I changed the "when you insert a CD" iTunes Preferences setting from "Import" to "Import and Eject". Immediately after that it would no longer recognise any CD and just automatically ejects them after about 20 seconds or so. I've reset the iTunes Preferences back to "Import" done the basic checks, repaired permissions, reset the SMC, but still nothing. The machine is still under warranty but my reseller informs me that it can be picked up within 5 days and then looked at and repaired, so maybe a 2 week turn around - definitely NOT acceptable!. Any help would be much appreciated.

    You might try going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and change the Music CD setting from Open in ITunes to ignore.
    Probably best to quit iTunes before doing this.
    Then insert a Music CD. It should show up on the desktop. Right-click on it and eject it.
    Then go back to Sys Prefs' CDs & DVDs and reset Music CD back to Open iTunes.
    Hopefully that will straighten things out. If not, there is probably just a "plist" file somewhere that needs to be deleted -- and some other poster will know what that is.

    1 dashboard client process was not reponding, after quitting it, it loaded ok but the cpu is running at 20% whereas it had never been more than 8% when viewing dashboard previously.
    dashboard client has 3 processes when open
    Had look at that site and i couldnt find this process on their list.
    kernel_task
    it has no process id, the user is root 1.2 52 140.00 MB 291.38 MB Intel
    That's the main part of OSX (it does have a process id: zero). It always runs, and directly or indirectly starts & controls everything else. (I never noticed it's not listed on that site.)
    also not listed on the site
    #122 iavd root 98.9 5 16.29 MB 604.24 MB Intel
    Google says it's part of iAntiVirus. I'd recommend uninstalling it; there are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero. There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt). For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
    also if why safari is powerpc if the mac is intel? safari takes forever to open on the main user but is fast on the other user of this iMac
    #248 Safari Andrew 11.9 14 165.41 MB 1.34 GB PowerPC
    It sounds like you have an old PPC version of Safari, running under Rosetta. Did you transfer from a PPC Mac and somehow brought over an old version?
    Make sure there's only one version on your Mac; there might be an older one in a sub-folder inside your Applications folder, or in a user home folder.

  • [K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

    Hello everyone!
    I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
    The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
    When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
    Can you tell me what's wrong?                   
    Thanks, bartull@           
    PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

    I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash.  I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash.  My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
    DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure.  Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
    Good luck.

  • I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this? 

    If you have this product,

    you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.
