I hope my drive is not defect.
I thanks all answers

My MacBook Pro now no type of DVD reads more since few meets.
Sorry My English is terrible

This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

Hi
This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

Region Code 4:
Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
Apparently my first response was off in left field. The DVD player has its own code. My recommendation is to change the code when it asks. It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code. If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's. I have been using it for years without a glitch. I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types. Please let us know if it works or not.

PDX index works in adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe X !!

Hello I have some commercial genealogy DVD's, bought a few years ago, with PDX files on them that work fine with adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe reader X. Adobe reader X says they are invalid PDX index files. Ofcourse adobe says that version X is Backward compatible and I must contact the vendor of my dvd's !!!.
Does anybody else has this problem ?
I do not have the pro version so I cannot rebuild the indexes myself.

PS for now I have removed version 10 and re-installed version 9.4

You may try Adobe Reader 9 or create new catalogs with Acrobat X Pro."
I actually contacted my vendor and he is sending me a new disk free of charge . He told me he had to destroy his whole stock of cd's that contains old pdx files.

Combo Drive Plays DVDs, reads data CDs, ejects commerical CDs...

My Combo Drive currently will not:
-burn CDs
-play music (commercial) CDs
-load software (commercial) CDs
It will:
-play DVDs
-recognize and read previously burned (non-commerical) data CDs
Commercial CDs are not recognized--the drive struggles with them for a minute or so and then ejects them.
I've read of similar problems elsewhere, but my situation seems a bit different because the computer will recognize and read previously burned data CDs, so I don't think it's a problem with the lasers. What is different about commercial music and software CDs? Also, what would that have to do with problems burning data? Could this be a software issue?
Thanks

I read elsewhere on the site about resetting the PRAM and that solved the problem. Drive functions normally now.

My combo drive is refusing to read discs...solutions?

My iBook G4 "Mid 2005" 1.33 laptop's combo drive is rejecting every disc I put in it. It will read and recognized every other form of storage but a cd or a dvd. I'm not sure what to do or how to fix this. I tried Apple's troubleshooting guidelines and they didn't help at all...does anyone have an solutions/suggestions? I'm at a total loss as I've never had one of these drives fail on me before and I don't want to use an external drive.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You could attempt to use a cleaning DVD to clean the drive, but where it's refusing both CDs and DVDs, you're likely going to have to have the drive replaced.

Combo drive - ejects DVDS

The combo drive for my Powermac G4 (mirror drive doors, running 10.4.7) will play and import CDs just fine, but won't recognize DVDs. I've tried putting in various movies, burned DVDs, etc. and it just spins for a while and spits them back out. They never appear on the desktop and DVD player doesn't open.
What's wrong? How can I fix it?
Thanks,
David

Help with combo drive

recently, my combo drive has been importing and burning cds slower than it used to (about half the speed). i have repaired permissions, and i use onyx and macjanitor often. i wonder if i need to clean out some preferences or something, but i am at a loss. any ideas?

Hi, J.F.R. I suspect that when you connected the new drive's flex cable to the main logic board, you may not have pressed it securely into place, with the result that the drive is not comunicating properly (or at all, perhaps) with the computer. Double-check that connection by disconnecting it and then pressing it solidly down again; it should snap slightly into place when properly seated.
If that doesn't help, call MCE, explain the situation, and ask for advice. That flex cable is the only electrical connection between the drive and the Powerbook, so if it's solidly connected and the drive still doesn't work, the drive itself is suspect.

Combo drive spits out disks! Ptoooey!

I too am having an issue with my drive. No CD or DVD will mount. It does not matter if it is a blank disk, music or data CD. I will put in a disk (many different brands/speeds tested) and the Mac thinks for a few seconds, then just spits it out. I have read through a bunch of the threads here dealing with the same or similar problems. I am starting to think that one of those updates I downloaded from Apple screwed something up. This was not happening before the last updates were released...
I did not see a fix for this in any of the threads.
Hey, Apple! There's obviously a problem with the eMac. How about fixing it?! >:(

I don't have any kids, and I don't stick anything in my superdrive except discs, but I have the exact same problem. Just got an American Gangster DVD from Netflix, and the macbook sounds like it's trying to read it 3 times, then ejects it. This happens with lots of different discs I get. I called Apple support, and they had me press a combination of keys, reboot, etc. That's a lot harder than playing the disc on my girlfriend's Windows laptop, which plays any disc I put into it -- even if it looks like someone placed it on concrete and then danced on top of it. Apple superdrive, you are junk. Why did I pay so much for this thing when a Windows laptop is $600?

Satellite A60-302: CD drive read DVDs and CDs but not burned discs

I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite A60-302 and I have a problem with the cd drive. It can read dvds and discs that I buy but it wont read all burned discs (even ones that I burned with the laptops own burner). Only from time to time it will read a burned disc.
I have tried cleaning the cd drives laser eye but it didnt help.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Hi
This sounds like the CD burner doesnt burn CD properly.
You have suggested that you have used different kinds of CDs.
In the user manual you will find a list of compatible medias.
These medias was tested and should works properly.
But if this happens with all CDs so possibly the drive cannot works properly and only a replacement could solve this issue.
