I still have Cd/DVD drive issues

The CD is ejected after a short while and never mounted. I have cleaned the optics of the CD drive and reset my PRAM.
Has anybody discovered a complete solution for this problem.

That's good that it is in device manager, but what about in Computer with the rest of the drivers?
Also, are the drives listed in Computer and device manager or just device manager?
I want to verify if the symptoms are present for a particular software issue before looking at other issues.  I really doubt it is a driver issue at this point.  If it was, then I suspect the issue would be present from day one. 
It could be that the lens has dust buildup preventing it from working properly.  They do make CD cleaning kits that have a special CD designed to clean the laser as it passes over the lens.  If you happen to have one of these, or access to one, I recommend trying this step to make sure it isn't as simple as dust buildup interfering with the laser. 
It could also be hardware failure, but I would like to try a few other steps before coming to that conclusion. 
It may be worth reviewing this document as it covers a lot of the most common issues behind DVD drive issues. Feel free to skip any steps you have already tried. 
Let me know what happens.

  • ITunes for 64bit Windows 7 Driver/CD/DVD/Drive Issues-

    Hi There
    I am sure that there are many many users out there suffering the same frustration as me in regard to ITunes just not working properly with Windoews 7 (64Bit).
    I have been trying to solve the mystery of "ITunes for Windows Registry Settings Warning When Opening Itunes.
    I have tried all the recommended actions to correct this problem without any success and I do mean ALL.
    Below is a screen shot of my registry, can anyone see anything wrong with it?
    In the meantime (Last four months) I have stopped using ITunes and instead have used Digital 7, this will be my very last attempt to get ITunes working properly, failure will mean consigning ITunes to the same place as any other Software that does not do wshat it says on the can.
    I hope someone can help.

  • How do I install photoshop CS5 on my imac that does not have a DVD drive

    I have photoshop CS5 and just got new iMac that does not have the DVD drive. I would like to avoid having to purchase the external DVD drive. Does Adobe offer options that I can still download CS5 that I have purchased on my new machine?

    Marin bortnem you can download the installation files for Photoshop CS5 at Download CS5 products.

  • Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

    The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
    I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
    I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

    Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
    The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.
    Last time you do a impulsive purchase huh?

  • Can I install leopard dvd even if my macbook doesn't have a dvd drive?

    can I install the leopard dvd even if my macbook doesn't have a dvd drive?
    I am unsure if I should buy the dvd

    All Macbooks shipped with drives that read DVDs.
    If you want to install Leopard and your drive is broken, you will need to use an external drive or a disc image on an external hard drive.

  • We do not have a dvd drive. how do we install the photoshop software?

    I would like to install but do not have a dvd drive. how do we that?

    There is no macbook of any vintage that doesn't have a dvd drive if it has any kind of optical drive, but you can always install the trial and enter your serial number into that. You will lose the special link to uploading to costco if you do it that way, though.
    What makes you think your mac can't read a dvd?

  • I have no DVD drive on my computer.  Where are the downloads located?

    I received discs for Photoshop elements & premier elements 12 with my new camera but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive.  I assumed it would be no big deal to download them from the Internet...wrong.  .I have serial numbers to install Photoshop but I cannot find where the downloads are located.  I find plenty of "trial" downloads but I should not have to pay for a product I already have.  Can anyone help me out there in cyber-land?  Adobe has no information on the website and I am unable to locate a live person.  So, that is you!  Hey live person, can you help this little ol lady?  Thank you so much!!

    I am okay with a computer but not a geek that is for sure!
    I downloaded the assistant and nothing happened.  I went to the site you so kindly suggested and started the download, and when I tried to apply it to the computer it said elements were missing.  I deleted the download and then started again.  Right now it is once again downloading the assistant. 
    Arggggggh!

    Thanks for the update.
    What was the problem...the length of time for the download or just getting any download at all?
    If necessary, I will go step by step with you through the tryout download from Adobe. But, the purchase of a USB external DVD/CD burner for your computer is a good idea and investment.
    If you do the shopping for this, check out how many connections are necessary for it to the computer....none, one, or two...check out the length of the USB cable.
    Please let us know how we can help. But, your mentioned place of purchase has a squad who should be able to help your with the purchase.
    Thanks. Please update us on your progress when your schedule permits.

  • What if i am trying to install photoshop elements 10 but do not have a dvd drive

    i am trying to install photoshop elements 10 on my windows xp computer but do not have a dvd drive on my computer just a cd drive. what do i  need to do to download this software?

    You can download the trial version of the software.  Which region of the world did you purchase your copy of Photoshop Elements from?

  • If I buy a dvd copy of elements can I use that serial number or Key to install it on my imac that does NOT have a DVD drive?

    Buying the DVD is less expensive but I don't have a DVD drive.  So I want to know if I can use the serial number or product key from the box to license a trial download?

    It should work.  You can always contact Adobe Support if it doesn't.

  • Any solution to DVD drive issue post Lion install yet?

    Any solution to DVD drive issue post Lion install yet?

    Since installing Lion no DVDs are being read by the superdrive, this is a problem that has been highlighted by quite a lot of people.
    CDs are being read fine.
    After inserting the DVD there is some noise, sounds like it is trying to pickup the DVD then spits it back out.

  • TS3074 what do you do after you have done all of this and still have not resolved the issue?

    what do you do after you have done all of this and still have no resolved the issue? itunes still will not load, or reinstall. i have updated my computers OS to the posted above settings for Vista. still gives error code 1114. NOTE!: My itunes WORKED JUST FINE UNTIL a new update was ready for download yesterday afternoon.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
