Ejects blank CD-R's after about 15 seconds

My drive appears to be in perfect working condition, as other Cds are accepted as well as blank DVD's, and also the Verbatim CD-R's I just bought work fine as well because they are accepted by my boyfriend's computer, which is a mac bought around the same time, but not a pro model. The CD-R's go into the drive, the computer seems to try a read them three times then ejects them.
Please tell me how I can force or trick my computer into accepting these disc so I can burn onto them.

If you are saying that your computer won't accept these discs but it does accept other CD-R media give it up. For whatever reason this media isn't acceptable to your computer. It does happen.

L7680 Ejects Blank Page before and after print job

My L7680 recently started to eject a blank page before and after a print job; seperator page option is NOT selected. I tried all the suggested trouble shooting points in the HELP section but none have solved the issue.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The setup button on the printer had a choice to return to all factory defaults - that solved the problem but it does take yoiu back to starting again to set other choices you may have made since starting toi use the devise.

My email opens without words then shuts down after about ten seconds. I've tried closing it, tried restarting iPad and resetting the iPad, all to no avail.

For the last three days, when I press my mail icon, it loads the blank template then closes after about ten seconds. I've tried to close and reopen it, have shut down and restarted the iPad and have reset it, but nothing has worked. I tried to use the Apple online support but was told I would have to pay £25! The iPad has not been the same since we upgraded the software as it is much slower, but the emails have not been a problem until now.

Hi Go to Settings Email Accounts Delete email account then add back again. Do this with each account that is not working. Cheers Brian

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

My 24" iMac won't read audio cds--ejects them after about 15 seconds

My 24" intel iMac won't read audio cds. It ejects them after about 15 seconds. I have virtually never played cds on this machine in five years. It plays dads with no problem. Anybody have any feedback. I also saw a fix by deleting some presence files.

I saw this on a forum from about four years ago:
Trash the following folders:
com.apple.kernelcaches (from System/Library/Caches
extensions.kextcache (from System/Library
CDInfo.cidb (from Home/Library/Preferences
Restart
Could this be a fix.
Unfortunately, I can't reset PRAM. I've done it a thousand times over twenty years,but my machine simply boots up without the extra chimes.

2010 iMac Ejects Discs After About 10-15 Seconds. Help??

Hi guys, I just tried to put a DVD into my iMac and it ejects it after about 15 seconds. I tried another DVD and it does the same! Any suggestions? I bought the Mac December 2010 so I no longer have Apple Care. Please say it doesn't need a new drive!

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC; then, try again.

My 2yo MacBookPro comes on but the screen is black and blank. After about 30 seconds it powers down. Any ideas?

If you have attempted the reset, which is holding the home button and sleep/wake button, was it still connected to the computer? Have you tried to do that when not connected. You stated it never came on, how long did you hold the buttons together? If you cannot get it to connect to iTunes then you would not be able to restore the device. You can see if you can put the device into Recovery Mode by following the instructions in this support document. If that does not work, then you are correct, make an appointment at the Apple Store.

HT201177 My new Mac Mini is plugged directly into my tv via hdmi cable and the screen will abruptly go blank and then return after a few seconds. Why is this happening?

So I recently got a Mac Mini about two weeks ago and for some reason while I am on it the display will go blank and then return after a few seconds. It is happening very frequently. I checked the HDMI cable, I checked my tv and nothing seems to be wrong with them and I don't know what is going on.
I am getting a bit frustrated because this Mac is brand spanking new and it is totally acting up for no reason whatsoever.
Could someone please help me with this? I don't want my new computer to be useless. I need it.

Which TV model do you have?
Be aware of the fact that very many TVs do expect video signals on their HDMI inputs, not data signals from Macs or PCs. Please consult your TV manual if PCs or Macs can definitely be connected via HDMI, or if e.g. only DVI or RGB/VGA connectors are to be used.
In case of DVI inputs for data being present, it's not a problem if an HDMI->DVI adapter, or better, cable is being used.
Many users here are overlooking this potential reason for problems, assuming that HDMI outputs must always communicate with any HDMI input, certainly also because TV manufacturers do not "advertise" such limitations loudly.
AV receivers with multiple HDMI inputs and a single HDMI video output to the TV are typically more "tolerant" and provide a sort of "converter" function. If present, feed a Mac's HDMI signal into the receiver, not the TV directly. If the receiver does not have enough HDMI inputs, consider to connect rather a video source (DVD player or similar) directly to the TV than the the Mac.

Firefox4 freezes on startup after about 10 seconds. A second parallel instance of firefox works normally as long as the first instance is left alone frozen. What causes this and how can it be prevented?

I am running firefox4 on win XP. When I start firefox, it says it is trying to restore a previous session which has only the blank tab. After about 10 seconds the whole instance of firefox freezes - none of the buttons work and the only way to close firefox is to use the Ctrl+Alt+Del and task manager. If I open a second parallel sessionof firefox, it works normally, as long as the first session is left alone (frozen). What could be causing the freeze up of the first firefox instance, and how can it be prevented?

I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

Gmail disappears after about 1 second

I just set up Firefox Home on my iPhone 4. I can see my tabs. One of the tabs is Gmail. When I click on the Gmail tab, the email list appears for about a second, then the screen goes blank. I can click on the other tabs see and see the associated pages without this happening. I have tried this over and over. I can read my Gmail in Safari just fine, but Firefox Home blanks out the Gmail page after about a second for some reason. Is this a bug?

I'm not sure what you mean... I am importing from a DV tape which was recorded onto by a MiniDV Camera. When I plug in the camera to my fire wire, Windows gives me the options of AVI and WMV format (I am not sure which one to go with by the way, but WMV format seems clearer and 5 times smaller too.. why is that?)
Any ideas?
Thanks again
EDIT: Also, I borrowed some video files on the net and premiere does the exact same thing- stopping after one second :/

Blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds

hi, we have an ipad running IOS 5 that keeps having a blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds.
I am yet to find out why this is, any clues? (note that both apple.com and facebook are blocked at the router, but nothing else)...

actually we cannot due to policy reasons... it appears through testing that the iPad is phoning home and sending private data to Apple regardless, it is also odd they placed these PRIVACY settings in About hidden away so that no-one knows they are there.
From the iPad homescreen, tap on Settings > General > About
Tap on "Diagnostics & Usage" > select "Don't Send"
So... anyone else know why if we block Apple, the iPad disconnects from the internet via Wifi?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

WIth my iphone 4 in ios 6 when i try to view my puchased in the app store app it starts to load and after about 20-25 seconds nothing loads and the app crashes im wondering if its because i have at least 600 apps in there, but it has never happened to be before.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. How can I go back to attached images?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window. It's very slow and tedious for multiple images. How can I go back to attached and displayed images? If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.

Scott,
My problem seemed to fix itself. Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something. Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it. A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to. Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step. Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again! Solved, but I'm not sure why.
