hi can anyone help my slot drive will not take cds its as if its locked shut

If you cannot insert any CD or DVD at all and there is no CD in that drive, then the mechanism might be defective. I've had that and Apple replaced the drive under warranty. To find out, I'd suggest an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free diagnosis - if it needs repair and you're out of warranty, they'll tell you how much it would be (in that case, an external burner might be less expensive).

Help! My slot-loading drive will not take discs/d-drive not being read.

I have a Toshiba Satellite U505-S2975.
When I try to insert a disc into my slot-loading disc drive, the drive will not grip onto the cd and suck it in. Nothing happens at all. Also, I noticed that the d-drive was not showing up under my computer. Does anyone have any possible solutions to this problem?

I tried the solution and it didn't work also, I have windows 7.

Toshiba Satellite L305-S5909 - DVD ROM / CD Drive will not Run CDs

I have a Toshiba Satellite Model Name: L305-S5909 Part Number: PSLB8U-05302F running Windows Vista 64 with Service Pack 2. The Drive in my computer is, Mat**bleep**a DVD-RAM UJ88OES
I really don't know when this started but we just discovered that our DVD / CD Drive will not run any CDs or DVDs inserted. When I check My Computer or Windows Explorer the Drive shows up. Also I checked the Device Manager and it's there also. I have tried uninstalling the drive and letting Windows Reinstall it and that did not help. I have also upgraded the computer bios also no results. And I have tried different disks, cleaning the optical eye, etc. The eject command from the computer works but will not run anything inserted.
Any Ideas?

i had the same problem with my L505D-S5965. you are going to most likely have to replace the dvd drive. the optical eye burned out in mine and from what you have already tried to do to fix it. that is probably what happened with yours. if it is under warranty you can send it to the depot or take it to a toshiba service center near you. if not you can change it yourself.it not to hard.
hope that helps

IIMac (crt) OS 9.2 will not boot and slot drive will not release CD

I have just received an iMac (from a friend) its was working find, but now I can't get a music CD out of the slot drive. The OS will only start if I hold the "shift key." I'd like to re install the OS. I've tried the "hold the mouse button down at start up" thing, but that does nothing.
Any other options?
Help!

Hi skierward,
You probably have an Extention Conflict. Boot the machine with the shift key held down, as you have been doing, then go to Apple Menu>Control Panel>Extention Manager. Change the 'Extention Set' to Basic, and reboot. Hopfully this will help. Once you can boot normally, hopefully you will be able to eject the CD.
You can also try Open Firmware.
To eject a disc with Open Firmware commands, follow these steps:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-O-F.
Note: The Command key has the Apple icon on it.
3. Release the keys when you see a white screen that says "Welcome to Open Firmware."
4. At the prompt, type: eject cd
5. Press Return, then wait a few seconds. The disc drive should eject any disc that is present, and "ok" appears behind your command when the action is complete.
6. Type: mac-boot
7. Press Return..

Mid 2010 Mac Mini slot drive will not accept disks.

Problem:
Tried playing a new commercial DVD but all I got was the rainbow pinwheel, I tried to eject the disk which took maybe 2 minutes but did happen. I tried inserting disk again into slot drive and it just won't go in and appears to hit something about halfway in, I assume it's the drive spindle that maybe hasn't retracted properly on the last eject.
I have;
successfully played this DVD in this drive the day before,
since played this DVD in another player,
tried other DVD's and CD's since the problem arose and none will go in.
shut down and powered up, reset the SMC, NVRAM and PRAM nothing changes for the slot drive.
As this machine is the heart of my Media Centre it's a real problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in antici-pation,
John

Thanks, I had read that discussion but must have missed the part about downloading the "ForcEject" tool so I will try that in the morning although I know there is nothing in the drive but maybe it'll reset the drive load/eject sequence.

HT4623 I want to unistall the ios latest version - don't like it? Can anyone help me? I am NOT a techie.

I have an IPhone 4 I installed the latest version of IOS and don't like it. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall and go back to what I have before? I am not a techie...
Thanks

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Can anyone help - my podcast feed is not updating

Hi,
Can't get my latest episode picked up by iTunes although the feed passes routine validity check. It's active on feedburner now. This is episode 160+ of a weekly cast - I have never had to wait more than a few hours to see it picked up in iTunes.
I know standard answers to the question are to give it a couple of days, but - again, I have never seen such a delay before and wonder if something else is amiss.
I access iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/cheap-astronomy-podcasts/id323506039.
My active feedburner rss is here (with new episode): http://feeds.feedburner.com/CheapAstronomyPodcasts
Thanks,
Steve

A delay of a couple of days is entirely normal, though it does vary quite a bit. Your latest episode does appear when subscribing: the Store will pick it up when it gets round to checking your feed.

HT204387 Can anyone speak to why Apple will not allow iPhones to connect to Bluetooth enabled OBD-II readers for car diagnostics?

Hi! I have been reading up on Bluetooth OBD-II readers that plug into the onboard diagnostic port of your car and connect to apps like Torque. However, the readers cannot connect to iStuff (iPhones, etc.) because Apple apparently does not support the necessary Bluetooth profile to enable this kind of connection. Does anyone know why? And, is there anyway we could change that? All Android phones connect no problem. Thanks!

Apple doesn't share this information with us nor can we speculate about it.

Can anyone tell me way this will not work

You might want to consider actually describing your problem, if you want an answer. (Hint: "Doesn't work" is unhelpful.)

Qosmio G30: CD/DVD drive will not burn CDs or DVDs

hello everyone..
I am using a G30 notebook and from the moment i bought it i couldnt burn CDs nor DVDs using the built in rewriter!
Every time i insert a blanc CD/DVD into the drive, it cant be read and an error message appears (E:/ is not accessible, incorrect function) when i try to click on the CD/DVD ROM.
If anyone has any idea on what to do, please share it.
Thank you

Hi Mohamed
The same suggestion you can find here in this posting:

PS: If you use or have installed two burning applications on the OS so remove one and use only one burning program; for example Nero.

DVD drive will not burn CDs?

I am having trouble copying CDs. I've tried to copy an audio CD using both Windows Media Player 10 and Toshiba's Sonic Record Now, but both produce an error towards the end of the burn process.
I've reinstalled the DVD Driver and reinstalled Windows Media Player, but these actions haven't remedy the problem.
Has anyone got any other suggestions that might help?
Thanks in advance, Monkey

Hi
Try to remove preinstalled Sonic software and use Nero. I have used Nero on many different notebook models without any problem.

DVD drive will not take disc

I know there are other threads about this, but it seems like my situation is a little different than others. My combo drive has worked fine since I bought my laptop. Now, of course, it stops working one month after my warranty expires. It just won't take my disc and there's no disc in the drive. I've tried all of the following:
1) Resetting
2) Resetting PRAM
3) Resetting PMU
4) Resetting Open Firmware
None of these options worked. Is there anything else I can try, or do I have to shell out the money for Apple to fix it?

I am having the same problem. If you hear get some advice that fixes the trick, I'd be grateful to hear from you. Thanks and good luck!

Can't load the weather app,will not take

can't load weather app i am useing a hp officejet 6500a plus with a windows 7
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Shaun555,
The first thing I would try is to unplug the printer for about a minute then plug it back in. Then try the app again. If it still does not work, check for product updates from the printer's front panel. Go to "Setup" > "Web Services.." > "Product updates" > "Check for product updates". If it has an update go ahead and let it install it. After it installs the update it will reboot the printer. After that, try the weather app again.

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
