G5 will not take (grab & load) CD.

It was working fine a few days ago. Would there be a reset, of is the drive shot? It will not grab, and load CD.
Thanks!!

me too. i'm not sure when it was last working, likely around the november 2007 timeframe. i went to do a software install, and couldn't. the eject works just fine, but there is no grab and load. iTunes doesn't see a music disk either.
tried repairing drive permissions on the OS (hard) disk. also tried powering off for 12 hours, in case a power reset or heat had something to do with it.
i added 4GB about a month ago, but i'm not sure how that could have affected anything.
any ideas or help is most appreciated?
thanks,
bert

  • Mac Mini 2.53 C2 Duo will not take any disc

    Hi all here is my problem… I have a Mac Mini C2 Duo 2.53 that will not take any disc DVD or CD when it is turned on. If I turn it of and put a DVD or CD in the slot it will load on boot and play and read. If I eject the disc and load a new disc with in 5 seconds it will load a new disc if I wait longer than 5 seconds I can't load any form of disc I have to turn off the Mac.
    I have Installed 2 different BD drives and 2 different DVD drives all with the same result. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers Patrick

    I have installed now 6 different drives all new… all do the same thing I could cry have reset the SMC a few times no luck. The drives work fine in a different Mac Mini just not in this one. Is weird that they all work when the Mini is booting but not afterwards. I don't want an external drive as this defeats me buying an older Mini with internal drive.

  • Itunes will not recognise and load my library

    I know just enough about computers to be dangerous.  After years of relatively hassle free itunes I now have a distinct problem.  my most recent hard drive failure resulted in the purchase of another new drive and the loadingf of all of my programs.  This has happened numerous times in the past without upset but this time after inmstalling the latest v11.1 itunes it will not recognise and load my library.  I run 64 bit Win 7 an d to date I have:
              Uninstalled itunes and bonjour, deleted my original download, redownloaded and reinstalled.
              Checked preferences / advanced / path to make sure it is looking in the right place - changed paths and back again.
              Yes, it is 64 bit itunes.
              I only use MS Windows Defender and it has never blocked me before.
    In the past as soon as itunes has installed it has gobbled up my library but this time all I see is that stupid Mr Scruff et al.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    @CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
    It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
    Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

  • Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0

    Mac mini server - will not take 4GB so-dimm in bank 0
    Hello,
    Memory works ok as long as the old 2gb 1066 so-dimm is in bank 0.
    Switching the dimms around is no go. It seems to need that bank 0 populated with an old 2gb.
    I can use only one 2gb and one 4gb for the mini server to boot.
    It seems to have a hard time figuring out the 2x4gb configuration.
    Tried PRAM and NVRAM reset. Always getting 3 beeps.
    Any chance of getting the full 8gb detected?

    Hi All,
    I had the same problem that you, I had a mac mini server late 2009 with 10.7.3 OS X, with 4 GB of memory.
    I have got these two memories on amazon:
    "8Go mémoire - Kit double canal SAMSUNG original 2 x 4 Go 204 broches DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 SO-DIMM (2x M471B5273BH1-CF8) mémoire portable ordinateur DD"
    First test to install in the mac mini:
    Slot 0 - 4 GB
    Slot 1 - 4 GB
    3 beeps
    2nd test
    Slot 0 -
    Slot 1 - 4 GB
    OK
    3rd Test:
    Slot 0 - 4 GB
    Slot 1 - 1 GB
    3 beeps
    4th Test:
    1 - 1 GB
    2 - 4 GB
    OK
    5th test:
    reset PMU
    Slot 0 - 4 GB
    Slot 1 - 4 GB
    3 bips
    6th Test:
    I did a test of the 2x4 GB in a mac mini 2010
    OK
    7th test:
    Slot 0 - 2 GB
    Slot 1 - 4 GB
    OK
    After to read this forum I gave up and I decided to let the mac mini with 6 GB. Well, as I wanted to try it again one last time, I tried to put the slot 0 memory forcing a bit. But I did not noticed nothing special.
    Well, at this last time, it works. 8 GB in the mac mini server
    here some screenshots:
    I hope this info will help you to resolve this problem. But seriously, I am not giving you nothing else than hope

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • I just purchased PSE 8 for my windows 7 and it will not let me load the "content" cd,

    I just tried my new PSE 8 for the first time and it will not let me load the "content" dvd, it states that PSE is already running (it is not) and to close program and start again.  Any ideas?  This is my first time using any kind of video editing software also.

    Photoshop Elements (PSE) doesn't ship with a Content DVD.
    I think you're probably referring to the PRE Content DVD that comes with Premiere Elements (PRE)
    The PRE User to User Forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements) may be a better place to post this question.
    If you bought the Bundle of PSE and PRE it would have come with the PRE Content Disk, but the PRE Forum is still where you might find some help.

    It can be tricky sometimes.  Go to your youtube account in Safari and try logging in.  They might have changed the security requirements.  In addition, you might find this software easier to use for uploading video to youtube.

  • Rebel Xsi display stopped working will not take photo

    I have had this camera for a few years.  I took it with me and left it covered in the car (hot day) and now the display will not light up and the camera will focus on an object but will not take photo.  
    Would heat cause the display to stop working?  What can be done to possibly correct this issue?

  • HT3728 Express will not take software upgrade.  Message says to install 5.6 and when I do it will not show, says not compatible with this version of Mac. 10.8 OS-X, why not?

    Unable to update airport express.  When connecting msg says to install 5.6, download and will not take install says it is not compatible.

    This is a dilemma. Older Express models require AirPort Utility 5.6.1 or a similar, older version of AU. Mountain Lion will refuse to install it. What to do?
    As it turns out AirPort Utility 5.6.1 runs perfectly fine on Mountain Lion. If you had the foresight to have archived it somewhere (such as with Time Machine or equivalent) you can simply copy the app to your computer and use it. The problem is that the installer package will refuse to work on a Mountain Lion system.
    If you don't have an already-extracted version of AU 5.6.1 there is a solution: you simply need Pacifist to extract the app from the installer package. I also found another technique described on this page:

  • Iphone bought in USA will not take greek sim card, iphone bought in USA will not take greek sim card

    I bought an iPhone 5 in Boston, "unlocked" . The salespeople told me it simply needed to have a sim card inserted, in any country outside the USA.
    When I went to my local phone store in Greece, I was told this iPhone will not take a Greek sim card.
    Now I have this very expensive phone which I cannot use in the place where I live.
    What do I do now?

    thanks so much. you give me courage.
    I am certain that this phone is legitimately unlocked,
    unless I was handed a locked by mistake, but I really doubt that.
    I emphasized to them where I was taking the phone, small island in Aegean, far from apple stores and assistance, also emphasized my weak computer knowledge.
    So far, I have only gone to the one local electronics store which services the national phone company.
    There is also a Vodaphone outlet, where I will have an exploratory conversation, as soon as possible,
    I also have yet to make it to the somewhat vestigial office of the national phone company.
    Thanks for hope and a sense of direction.

  • Pre9 will not take large photo files, is 13 any better

    pre9 will not take large photo files is 13 any better

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 running on - with version 9.0/9.01, it is a 32 bit application whether it is run on 32 or 64 bit computer. So, you will get that "too large" error message when your still total pixel count exceeds the limit.
    If you go to Premiere Elements 10, 11, 12, or 13 (the current version) and you are running one of those programs on a 64 bit computer, each will be a 64 bit application and program will not throw off the "too large" error message. I have challenged these latter applications with stills 10000 x 7500, and each was imported with issue.
    But, the question becomes, because you can, should you? No matter how high the resolution of the image, it will be forced into the resolution characteristic of the import. Just how much you can get away with in this regard goes to your computer resource and how many of these stills oversized for the project settings.
    If you put Premiere Elements 13 on a Window 7 or 8 32 bit system, I am fairly confident that you end up with "too large" error message. That would not be the case if Premiere Elements 13 on a Windows 7 or 8 64 bit system.
    Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
