Internal Super Drive stuck when coming out

Hello friends,
I have a superdrive and when i press eject button, it comes out 1/5 way out then it is stuck there. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Do I need to get a new drive?
If I do which model works for it?
Thanks

I have a superdrive and when i press eject button, it

Do I need to get a new drive?
If I do which model works for it?
Any Pioneer drive should work w/o a problem.
There are a number of reasons why the drive tray isn't opening fully.
Is the superdrive OEM, or aftermarket?
Have you disassembled the machine at some point, to incude removing the DVD drive?
i ask b/c if the mounting screws are loose or missing, its possible for the drive unit to shift, which may cause the tray to hang on the frame.
If the CPU has been in a dirty/dusty environment, it is possible there is an accumulation of crud inside the drive, stopping it from opening.
Is there a disc in the drive? It could be seated incorrectly, stopping the drive from opening fully.
If the drive has been havily used, it is possible that the worm gear that opens/closes the tray has come partially off it's shaft.
(I've seen both a TV top and a computer DVD drive do this.) It can be fixed, but you'll have to take the drive apart to get to the gear.)

    and (from hardmac.com):
    "Steve did not change his mind and still think that BD DRM are just inacceptable for mass and consumer market due to restrictions that make advantages look like non competitive. He admitted that retrospectively he feels ashamed that Apple’s name is associated to Blu-ray, as he thinks that BD supporting associations look today more like M*fia than anything else. Concerning authoring on Blu-ray, it seems impossible to provide software supporting such format for consumer market. In addition to DRM, here it is the cost of licenses that slow down the entire process; one would have to start paying 3,000 USD to AACS, then 80,000 USD to Sony, 40,000 USD to Sonic, etc. HE considers the Blu-ray as a “bag of hurt”."

  • 7.3.2.6 crashes when coming out of standby mode

    Has anyone else seen this problem with iTunes 7.3.2.6?
    It crashes when coming out of standby mode. There is an error report I can send to Microsoft, but since it's an Apple program, I never send it.
    Using standby was OK with iTunes 7.2.

    Okay. Let's try getting a fresh one through to Roy.
    If the log has been "live" for a while, info about every crash of any description will have been being added to it (with my Morrowind crashing on a daily basis, i once found a DrWatson log on belladonna that was over a GB in size). So it'll be easier for him to work through a log with just one crash on it.
    Will run through my standard instructions just so i don't forget anything. (Sorry, I know you're up to speed on this sort of thing, no offense meant.)
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
    In the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Why does my MAC sometimes crash when coming out of sleep mode?

    My mac freezea sometimes when coming out of sleep mode, and occasionally the screen will go black. At other times I will be using the MAC and it will just freeze. The only way to get out of it is to kill power and reboot. It seems to be happening more frequently.
    It was suggested that I fix permissions and start in sleep mode. This has helped in the past, and I am going to do it again now. I also recently upgraded to 10.6.8, and after that the crashes were fewer, but now they are increasing again.
    I am including a log of the recent crash a few minutes ago.

    Okay thanks, but I am a newbie who is not a very tech kind of a person. The only periphals I have are a kodak camera dock, a Canon 310 copier/fax/scanner and a pair of altec speakers. How do I determine  if they all have drivers for my MAC? They all seem to work okay, if that is a sign, though the Kodak camera Dock is a bit slow. How also do I determine if they are Apple energy compatible? With each of these peripherals, do I simply disconnect them from my MAC one at a time to see if there improvement?

  • Compare DVD-R burn quality by internal Super Drive to External DVD-R burner

    Has anyone compared the video 'quality' of a DVD-R burned using the internal Super Drive
    on my MacBook Pro (Windows 8.1 64 bit) to the same DVD-R burned using a standalone
    Sony DVD-R Recorder / player?  One would think the quality would be slightly better using
    a standard external DVD-R disc burner.

    I see no difference in the video quality.  Although I use a different external burner than your brand.  It's possible some external burners are better than the optical drives on a MacBook Pro or vice versa.

  • IMac hangs on spinning color wheel when coming out of screen saver

    Since updating to the latest version 10.5.5 my iMac hangs when coming out of screen saver mode with the spinning color wheel and I have to do a hard reboot.
    I did some searching and it looks like this was also a problem back with and earlier version of 10.5
    I use the pictures screen saver.
    Anyone else have this problem since the last update??

    You should attend to your iMac. Even the best machines need periodic attention.
    Like an iceberg, most of Leopard is "under the ocean" or as we say, "under the hood." There is an extremely powerful BSD OS down there and it is really that, not Leopard per se, that need an occasional "tweak."
    Actually there are automatic routines that do much of the hidden maintenance but permissions repair is not one of them.
    Again, you do not need to run permissions repair every day. Not even every month, but it's best to do it anytime you install new software - before and after installing the software.
    Some, but not all of the issues you see here are the result of not maintaining the computer.

    Southmike, I'm glad I could help you out.  When I tried using the settings you stated, it didn't help me resume from standby.  However, I did finally get standby to work by first resetting the BIOS to default, and then setting the Power Management to:
    ACPI Standby: S3
    Call VGA BIOS (no idea what this is): Enable
    USB Wakeup: Enable
    Power Management/APM: Disable
    And, I also disabled a few other things I dont use like onboard Audio and RAID and voila, now WinXP can go into standby and resume from it piece of cake.

  • T440s new wifi 17.12 driver fails after coming out of hibernate

    Coming out of hibernate no wireless networks are available. A reboot resolves the issue.  
    Plugged in or on battery - same issue.. Bluetooth enabled or not - same issue. Tested twice to make sure I wasn't crazy. I hibernated and came out at least 8 times a day on old driver. Same with sleep. 
    Downloaded this driver here for AC7260 which connects to an Asus RT-AC66U. This new driver (mine is for 8.1) is for a lot of machines and a lot of wifi cards.
    http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t44... Installed everything except the enterprise tools because I know how they conflict with connecting to wifi, and I would prefer to connect to wifi through Windows. I tested with the tools as well.

    Happy hunting

    Skoop:
    Interesting.  Fortunately for my T440s, this was resolved a couple releases ago.  Or maybe the last one. This particular update broke it therefore in the long run, Lenovo will have to take a look at this, at least for some of us. To note the bluetooth driver was not updated with this package. Only the Wireless.
    I myself have had no issues with the 7260 on a couple different machines, including an HP and this Lenovo.  Although, I am on Windows 8.1 with the latest updates and you are on Windows 7.  Perhaps prolonging the jump to 8 may be bad to your health. haha.  Why are you on Windows 7?  Don't like Windows 8?  I remember when Windows 98 came, I refused to go to it.  The same with XP lol (I skipped the umentionable) I had a really hard time letting go of that one.  skipping another unmentionable) For awhile I didn't let go of 7, however by Windows 8.1 update 1 (or whatever they call it) I was sold.  Things are handled more efficiently.  Perhaps Windows 7 only came with your machine, however if you have Windows 8 recovery discs for your machine, I suggest you use them or buy a license (especially if the trackpad matches the T440s hahahaha trust me like night and day, but still bad) Windows 8 will soon be an unmentionable because of the charms bar, lack of start menu etc with the upcoming release of 9 beta. (screenshots recently or possibly leaked) At least getting to 8 may solve some problems until 9 comes.
    I attempted a manual install of the wireless drivers alone myself to skip the software install.. This was a trick we used to use in support back in the Windows 95 days.  ESPECIALLY for modem drivers. hahaha Then we had to change IRQ's and so on, search for phantom drivers blah blah Anyway I am reliving the old days. There was a Win8 and Win8b directory for this particular driver package.  Neither worked for manual install.  Which is VERY odd.  I checked out most directories and could not find anything applicable...but i didn't put too much time into it so perhaps it is there lurking in one of the folders. I had a close look at the .inf's within 8 and 8b as well, but only long enough to no waste the day.
    Looks like you being on different hardware (perhaps) and on Windows 7, you have been experiencing this problem for much longer than us T440s folks on Win 8.1.  I myself resolved the issue a long time ago by not allowing it to turn off or "save power".  At least i think that is what I did. Make the jump to 8 and simply install that classic start menu software.  It at least gives you a normal start menu and more and then you can disable any other Windows 8 stuff you don't like.
    By the way, as far back as I can remember Lenovo's (previously IBM) extra wireless mgmt software has been breaking machines.  Like forever. I really cannot believe that this has not been done away with yet. Like, I REALLY can't believe it. I saw that yellow bulb and my eyes popped out of my head and I threw out a big chuckle.  I mean at least they could have fixed the fact that perhaps after install, it prompts you as to whether or not you would like to use the "Windows tool, or the Lenovo tool" haha nope.  Such an easy thing to code. However as I type this, I realize exactly the types of machines we have here....they are the same as they were a decade ago. These machines should be marketed to tech geeks who like to tinker and fix things. No offense to Lenovo...however a lot of software, bios updates the machines themselves, (buggy down to lights not staying on on the keyboard as you boot up) and even their support website....(I mean seriously when you return to the main driver page you really have to sort by date, again?  Like again? hahaha The layout is terrible,,and pricing errors.  How can I explain this.  I know - ueverything is unnecessarily complex. Even the bios looks yesteryear. (other than Uefi portions I'm sure although I have not trod there) I always come back though, probably because I like to tinker
    I'm rambling. Bottom line I may be wrong however maybe a jump to Windows 8 may help some others on other platforms.  Who knows.  In the meantime, it seems at least two of us on two different hardware platforms had things busted up by this release.
    Cheers

  • Screen freezing/blanking when coming out of sleep

    Hi,
    Wonder if someone can help.
    I have a iMac (20-inch Mid 2007), that's been running fine up till about a year ago.
    Now sometimes when you take it out of sleep, one of the following will happen:
    - Screen will come on, then just go blank.
    or
    - Screen will come on, screen freezes but the cursor will still move around, but nothing will be selectable.
    With both you can hear the hard drive and fans still spinning. The only way to bring it back is to completely power it off, and on.  But sometimes after doing this, after signing in again, it my freeze or blank out again.
    When the iMac is on, its normally ok, but if after bringing out of sleep you try and open things, it can then go blank or freeze as above.  But when Its been on for 5 minutes  its fine and runs fine for hours or even days if you leave it on.
    It doesn't always happen, many times when you turn it on, its fine, just getting more and more...
    I have upgraded to latest OS and recently upgraded the 250gb internal hard drive to 1TB drive, I cleaned the fans out while doing this, but again issues remain.
    Can anyone suggest what could be causing this?  I would be fixing it myself, as its out of warranty and more than capable of doing a full strip down.
    Thanks

  • Internal super drive cannot burn DVD from iDVD

    I using MacBook pro 15" from 2010, when I using iDVD brun my DVD when the process go to multiplexing the disc kick out from super drive cannot complete the burning, but I used another mac to burn is work, I think is my Macbook pro super drive got a problem, so how can I fix the super drive problem, I try to download the super drive framware 3.0 but got the message said the update not for my macbook pro, I buy the new extenal super drive, go the message the super drive not support for my mac, I really need help. please please.

    See Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic: Multiplexing Error
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Mac Pro Super Drives Stuck Closed

    Hi there, I've got an odd problem affecting both my MacPro's super drives. They're original factory super drives and recently they've both stopped opening.
    To clarify, it's nothing to do with the flip down door mechanism, the drives themselves will not open. They respond to both manual and eject key requests whiring first open, and then eventually closed, but unless you insert a pin into the release port they both fail to 'unlatch' themselves from the closed position. Once manually unlatched they'll slide open and closed under their own power, and the drives themselves both work fine. But without fail you have to physically unlatch them to actually get a disk in or out.
    So it's not the platter motor, there's nothing software related here, and it's nothing to do with the mac case itself as they exhibit this behaviour when removed from the housing.
    Anyone got tips on fixing the 'latch' mechanism?
    Ev.

    Mac pro 2008 or older? (uses IDE/ATA drives and 40-pin cables)
    Or 2009 and newer? (uses SATA drives and compact cables)
    Have you changed anything or added any software that might have anything to do with DVD readers?

  • Satellite A105-S4284 gets Blue Screen of Death when coming out of standby

    MySatellite A105-S4284 runnings Windows XP gets a BSOD after coming out of standby or hibernation. With standby, I'll see the login screen where I enter my password, and then it may show the desktop background or even the open app (Outlook or Word, typically) for a second, afterwhich the BSOC appears. For weeks I was getting a black screen sporadically after standby. Researched the problem and saw recommendations to update BIOS. So I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and then I started getting blue screens of death rather than a black screen. Thought the problem was McAfee, because I'd get crashes right after McAfee became active in the background, sometimes without going into standby. Cancelled McAfee, took it off with the cleaner, used Avast instead, and that seemed to help. But then BSODs came back. I uninstalled non-essential software, clearned registry with CC Cleaner, freed up more HD space and defragged, ran SpyBot, etc - but I still get the BSOD almost every time I go into standby or hibernate. 
    The stop messages on the BSOD don't show a driver. and all begin with 0x0000007E (0x000000C5, ... and then differ after that.  One recent one followed with 0x804E13D5, 0xAA6B9B8C, 0xAA6B9888). Does that mean anything?
    I've installed Microsoft's debugging tools to look at the dumps after a BSOD. Here is output for two recent crashes. Doesn't point to a driver. NTKRMLMP.exe is what crashes - do I need to replace that from the I386 folder somehow? I did have my Matsu**bleep**a DVD-CD drive suddenly quit a time or two until the computer was restarted. Should I reinstall the DVD driver? Or the graphics driver? Worried that I might break something by doing that.

    In safe mode it is not possible to standby. That is disabled. Tried to make it possible with Toshiba's power control service, but it is not available. 
    In a new account, the BSOD still occurs. I created a new account, logged out of my account, and went to the new one. Tried standby. It came out of standby for a second and then had the blue screen of death. 
    In checking the event manager, I seen errors shortly before crashes sometimes that involve the CD.
    So I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the DVD RAM driver and ran it, reinstalling the driver, and then restarted.  I also saw that there was C-Dilla driver in my drivers. I uninstalled the SafeCast program that I think is associated with C-Dilla, moved the C-Dilla driver out of the drivers to a distant folder, unchecked C-Dilla in MSCONFIG so it won't load (it was still there after removing SafeCast), and then reinstarted. So with a new DVD Ram driver and neutering, I hope, of C-Dilla, I tried things again and the system appeared to be crash free - better than it had been. But then a crash occurred - BSOD - and upon restart, the CD locked up, and crashed again. 
    After restarting, there was a new dialog that popped up after Windows launched indicating that there had been an error with SONIC DLA. Before the crash, there was an event n the event viewer:
    My last error comes from the Plug and Play Manager:
    The device 'MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ-841S' (IDE\CdRomMAT**bleep**A_DVD-RAM_UJ-841S________________1.60____\5&226f6cf2&0&0.0.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
    Hmmm. So things are still vulnerable. Any ideas? Buy new CD drive? Or new computer?

  • Internal Hard drive dismounts when downloading from iTunes Store?

    I am having an issue when I download content from the iTunes Store to my Mac Pro.
    I have my Media Library on the second Internal Hard drive (an Hitachi). When I download content after a while -usually half-way through a download or after a few minutes if its large amount to data/content (App updates etc) -the second internal hard drive will dismount. Stopping the download and making the disk inaccessible.
    The internal hard drive seems to be fine otherwise. It has plenty of space and I use it as a scratch disk for video editing HD content.
    To re-mount the disk, I have to do a complete shut down, remove the hard disk (I check for dust/damage etc) and re-insert and re-start the system. If the systems down not pick up the hard drive the first time I try and again and it usually recognized then. I have tried using an external hard drive as well (not sure what make the hard disk is but its an iomega unit) and the same thing has happened.
    As you can imagine this is very annoying. I hve a work around currently where I set-up a tempoary Media Libabry on my system disk and download anythin I want from iTunes and then manually move the content to the second drive-not ideal but it works. I have had this issue for a year- so I have been very patient and hoping it would get resolved through updates-as I am sure there ha to been other people with the same issue.
    Can anyone help me identify where the problem is? Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? I am stumped and really not sure where to start.

    Hello Nesquik,
    Yes, I did notice it too. A lot of noise when downloading, It sure looks as if there is no buffer or not enough buffer. Going back in history when there was no smartdrive
    I hope they can fix it, very annoying. Not only because of the noise, but I also get the feeling that my harddrive must be degrading. If you only could say that you want to download on a different location (choosing the SSD) and afterwards moving to the Media Folder on a normal harddrive.
