IMovie says there is no DVD drive?

Just upgraded to iLife 06 and iMovie says that I do not have a DVD drive installed. I do have a DVD drive installed, it is a third party drive and the OS (10.4.4) recognizes it, as well as iTunes, iPhoto, and iDVD (haven't had a chance to check the others yet). Tried tossing the prefs, and rebooting the computer, but that made no difference.
Any ideas?

Is there a CD/DVD Drive in the new iMac's?

I just bought a new iMac on here and I was hearing that there's no internal CD/DVD Drive in the new models, is this true? If so where can I find an external CD/DVD Drive so that I'll be able to play games and watch my magic videos on the iMac?

ok thanks, do you think that the Apple USB SuperDrive is good or should I go for something else? I've been reading the posts on the review page for it and a lot of them are 1 Star Reviews saying it's terrible, I might go with a different one if I can find one that's compatible with the new iMac's.

Boot Camp Assistant says There is no USB drive connected to the system

I have a mid-2012 11” Macbook Air and a USB Superdrive. I am trying to use Boot Camp Assistant but it is not letting me proceed. With the Superdrive plugged and Windows 7 (full version) DVD in the drive, I get the message “No USB Drive” – “There is no USB drive connected to the system. Please insert a USB drive to continue.”
I checked using Finder and Go->Computer and there is the Windows 7 installation DVD mounted properly. The Superdrive spins up when I plug it in. I tried both USB ports. I tried re-booting with the Superdrive attached. The laptop is plugged in and there is an internet connection. It is running Mac OS X 10.8.3. I read the Installation and Setup PDF guide and there was no mention of the problem. I searched these forums and found that two other people are/have experienced the same problem, but there is no posted solution.

At the second step in the wizard, there is a dialog with three check-boxes. The only way I can proceed is if I uncheck the option "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple". When checked, I get the "No USB drive" message. Checking or unchecking the other two options does not change the behavior ("Create a Windows 7 or later install disk" and "Install Windows 7 or later"). I have tried with the Superdrive attached with Window 7 in the drive, with a blank DVD and without the Superdrive.
You are not following the Boot Camp instructions. Did you select the option to read the instructions? When running Boot Camp Assistant you are given the option to download the support software. If this is selected you must connect a usb stick that is correctly formatted per the instructions. At this point in the process you sshould not have your superdrive or Windows dvd connected.
Read the instructions.

I cannot finalize a project in iMovie, notwithstanding 175g of memory. Could this be a virus or other operating problem. Have shut down iMovie several times and moved more projects to hard drive to free up space. Help!

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the application down in Dock)
But can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)
175Gb should be enough.

Another dead CD/DVD drive

Hi all,
My G4 PowerBook has decided that it won't play CDs or DVDs anymore. Actually, I can't even get THAT far because it won't grab discs either!
In the System Profiler, it says that there is no DVD drive in the laptop. So it's knackered. Probably something simple, but by the time I send it off to be repaired/replaced, I might as well get an external DVD re-writer.
Which I did. (I need a dual-layer burner anyway...)
The external re-writer burns and reads both CDs and (data) DVDs fine, iTunes works, etc, etc, etc but will DVD Player work with it? Nope
If I insert a commercial DVD into my external drive, it comes up on the desktop, I can see the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders fine and - heck! - when I double-click on it, DVD Player opens, but I then get an error message come up saying there is no DVD drive.
And I can't find a way to 'force' DVD Player to read discs from the external drive.
Can anyone a. recommend a patch to do the above or b. suggest some software that will enable me to play DVDs from my external drive?
Ta!!

I suggest you go to the external DVD manufactures web site and make sure that you have the latest updates and drivers for your model.
Don't forget to go to System Prefrences and make sure that you have your external selected to open when a DVD is inserted. Be sure to read the options from the externals web site.

Is there a way to verify that the dvd drive is acting up?

I think my dvd drive is on the fritz, but I'd like to somehow verify that before I take it into an apple store (it's still under apple care).
Not too long ago I noticed that when I ripped cds with the drive, then there would be some cracks and pops during the quiet parts of the resulting mp3s. (well, at least it was more noticeable during the quiet parts.) I would not encounter this problem when I then ripped the same cds with an external drive.
dvds play fine, but when I attempt to burn dvds (using Toast), I often get a "bad sector" error during the verification step. And then when I try to watch the dvd it will play for a little bit but then pause (although I can sometimes jump ahead and have it play fine).
The drive is the UJ-845E one.
Is there diagnostic thing that I can run that will say "hey dude, your dvd drive has this problem: ..."?

You will find that more often than not the problem is simply the use of Bad Cheap Incompatible Media.
There are 2 handfulls of media manufactures out there and of them only 2 or 3 are what I consider Excellent. The rest are JUNK.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
If your Optical Media will play CD's and DVD's Commercial Music, and Commercial Movies.
And will burn then 9 times out of 10 the problem like you describe is from Bad Media you are using.
I find that using Maxell 16X DVD-R media that comes in the individual jewel cases are outstanding.
Reason this media 1st is DVD-R and is recognizable by 93 to 94% of all players and computers.
2nd it is rated as one of those of highest quality.
3rd This media will burn at 1X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X, meaning you don't have to look for older media that matches your or other slower Burners. It will simply work.
Next with the technology always changing be sure you have Toast 7 or higher to avoid problems, I personally prefer Popcorn.
There is a lot to learn and many tricks to learn as well to avoid problems with your burn.
You have just learned the most important.

Install iTunes 7.6, and loose my DVD Drive after it.

I run: Windows Vista Ultimate PRE-SP1. Lite-ON Blu-Ray DVD Player.
I install iTunes v7.6 and get the following after reboot:
"Warning! iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall iTunes."
My DVD drive is no longer recognized by my computer. Windows Hardware says there is a driver error. Re-installation of these Drivers results in same error. Upon removal of iTunes the error magicly dissapears and there is my DVD drive again.
Please Tell me someone knows of a hotfix for this issue! I am missing my iTunes.

No this is an Apple issue. I ran out and bought 4 Mac's laptops last year when I had to buy a "Vista" computer.
Because of my business I have to use PC (software). since I purchased Vista I was unable to use my 3 video pods (my kids and mine). itunes did exactly what you are discribing here. I totally blamed microsoft..
HOWEVER after downloading service pack 1 and purchasing a new iphone 3G it was working like a charm ....NOT a problem. I used "mobile me" to sync my outlook and was happier than I had been in over a year with BOTH my PC and Mac.
After the upgrade last week (I upgraded 8-1-08) my PC sees the CD/DVD drive however itunes is disabling it. I have a ton of software on my PC Office ultimate 07, Photoshop 6 Roxio 10 all of it. NONE of those had updates.
I am NOT happy with the thousands that I have placed into apple the last 6 months. I really thought this was Microsoft...it is not.
I am lucky because I have a Mac Pro to sync my iphone too (even though I am NOT proficent on a Mac yet). I actually signed onto these boards to see if I could run it on Mac since I installed it on PC..
I tried to see if I would downgrade to the previous version ...no luck...apple likes to install as soon as you boot up...I also tried to restore to a previous time (prior to the upgrade) that also didn't work..itunes again downloaded immediatly after a reboot.
Apple needs to get a fix...I was going to automate a business with MACs...I have my kids on both now..I have an appointment with their business sales..
I think I will bring this computer in and tell them we will talk AFTER you fix this simple problem.. I would HATE to lose patients medical records because of a bad download.

Satellite M30x + Win7 : DVD's not detected by the CD/DVD drive

Hi,
I'm using a M30x since 2004 with its CD/DVD drive Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-831 S.
When I was using Windows XP, I never had problems to read or write on CD, CD-R, DVD, DVD-R or DVD-RW. But recently i have installed windows seven, and since this day the drive doesn't want to recognize DVD's. I still can read and burn CD's and CD-R's. I'm trying to burn the same blank DVD-+/R/RW as before but the drive don't want to detect them. The ones I already have burn aren't detected either.
My computer say that the CD/DVD drive work correctly and that the drivers are updated.
I have tried to clean the lens but nothing have changed. And I wanted to reinstall the drivers but I couldn't found them for windows seven.
Thanks for the help.

At first I must say that this old notebook is definitely not designed and not supported for Win7 so if Win7 works well you are really lucky guy. Win7 s not supported and drivers dont exist so dont spent your time searching them on the net.
I dont know if described issue has anything to do with Win7 or not but fact is that lens position for CD medias and DVD medias is different and, generally speaking, when there is problem with reading one of these medias it can be problem with lens calibration what means optical disc drive is defective.
You can test it one more time if you install WXP recovery image and check if this will work again.
Other way I don't think there is anything you can do about it.
BTW: which burning application do you use?

Recovery without DVD Drive

Recently purchased a HP ProBook 430 G1. I attempted to request HP Support online but when I clicked on the link for this model no page was found. Hope someone here can help. The device was installed with Windows 7 (at my request). It came with the Windows 8 DVDs if I want to unpgrade. I would like to do this now. How do I begin? There is no DVD drive and I assume the recovery partition holds W7. Do I need to purchase a portable DVD drive or can I copy the DVDs to a stick?
Thank you in advance.

Your computer shipped with Windows 7 Pro installed from the factory and a set of Windows 8/8.1 Pro Restore Discs. This is a common configuration for business computers. Before using the Windows 8 / 8.1 discs, you must create a set of Windows 7 Restore/Recovery Discs (or USB media), if you wish to reinstall Windows 7 at any time in the future.
You will not be able to copy the Windows 8 / 8.1 discs to a USB stick and you may not be able to create Windows 7 USB recovery media. You may need to purchase an external USB CD/DVD drive to accomplish creating the recovery media and installing Windows 8 /8.1

Initialization error-valid dvd drive not found-no icons, no disk eject

My mac mini is giving me a hard time. Actually, ever since I got it over 5 years ago, it's been a bit of a headache with the DVD/CD drive.
I've even had the drive changed once under warranty. Anyway, I'm trying to upgrade to OSX 10.6.3. For that, I need to put the CD into the drive.
Right now I have my start up disk in the drive as I tried to do some repairs to the disk before I installed the new OS.
But as in the past, my disk is now stuck in the drive. There is no icon of the CD on my desktop. My DVD player program says that no valid DVD drive has been found. I've tried every way I know to eject the disk as this has happened to me before. I've reset the SMC by shuting down, unpluging the power and other cables. Waiting 15 seconds and even a few hours to see if it made a difference. Plugged it all back in and turned it on. The CD whirls around in there as I can hear it, but then nothing. No icons, no nothing. It's as if I don't even have a CD/DVD dirve on the computer at all. I've tried starting up holding the mouse button down before start up, after start up, durring start up... nothing. I've tried starting up from the disk by pressing C. Momentarily (a fraction of a second)I get a little question mark where the grey apple is supposed to appear but then the grey apple appears and the computer starts up from the hard drive and not the disk. I've even zaped the PRAM a few times for good measure. I just spent $20 on Snow Leopard to install it. I really don't want go to the repair shop again and spend more money on something I already fixed once. Any suggestions or further tips would be very welcome and appreciated.

Whew, sounds like maybe Logic Board problems!?
Does iTunes Eject Disc work? (I doubt it, but...)
Maybe Double backed tape on a credit card to extract it???

I have Logic on my iMac and want to install it on my new mac book but my mac book doesn't have a dvd drive. I tried to download the upgrade but it looks for an older version. How do I get Logic on the Mac book ?

I would like to install logic on my new mac book but there is no dvd drive. I tried to downlaod the upgrade but that didn't work. How do I download it for the first time?
Thanks!

You can only use the App Store version to reinstall on your new Mac if you bought Logic via the App Store in the first place.... and then it will appear under the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store App so long as you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase Logic via the App store in the first place.
If you bought the DVD edition of Logic Studio then you must initially install using those original DVDs to begin with and then update to the latest version of your version of Logic via software updates.
No DVD drive? Buy an external one.. Amazon do a very cheap basic one that works well..
or...
Use Remote Disk if you still have your older Mac which has a built in DVD drive...

Recovery without a USB drive or DVD drive

I just received a NB305 as a gift and want to create recovery media. I do not want to spend the money for a large capacity USB drive or a DVD drive. I have an external HDD I use to back up my other laptops. Can I copy the files over to that drive? Can I copy the files over to that drive and then run the recovery software to make disks?
Why is Toshiba so cheap that they didn't include a recovery disk?

they all put it on the hdd no. if you read your users manual then you would know that pressing zero during start up would run the recovery service. and it is a netbook. there is no dvd drive what good would recovery discs do? just get a 16gb flash drive or an external dvd drive to make the recovery media. or you can just hope the recovery partitions dont get damaged but i wouldnt count on it.
