Issues with CD/DVD drive on Satellite A350-12D

Hi,
I just bought my Toshiba Satellite A350-12D laptop two weeks ago, and am generally pleased with it, however I cannot get it to read data-DVD's properly.
When I try to read a data DVD that I burned on my desktop PC, the laptop starts to read but takes very, very, very long.
When I try to copy the data on the DVD to my laptop, it takes forever (I've tried once for 45 minutes and then gave up) and after a while it starts claiming it can't read most of the files on the DVD.
It's not the data on the disks that's causing problems, cause when I transfer those from my desktop to my laptop on a USB stick instead of a DVD, the files are copied immediately without a problem.
At first I figured it might be due to the DVD disks themselves (I use TDK DVD+ROM), or maybe Vista was the culprit, but I've tried the exact same disks on my friend's Medion laptop that's also running Vista and she's having no issues whatsoever.
Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this or better yet, what could solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm I think this could be a problem of non-fully compatible DVDs.
My notebooks drive couldnt read or write some DVDs from different manufacturers.
I tested many disks and now Im using TDK DVD-R.
But its always different. Possibly your drive would not support this disk properly but another disk would be supported better
I think you should test it simply. There are many different disk manufacturers so dont give up buddy

HT3964 I'm having issues with my DVD drive rejecting discs.

I tried using the reset and it didn't help. Anyone else have the DVD drive reject any discs put in? If so how did you get it fixed? Any help would be appreciated!

Satellite Pro L500-12E - Issue with CD/DVD drive and display

Hello...
I have some questions about my laptop..
1. Is it normal that on some DVD/CD's the DVD rom it very loud and vibrates a lot, spesialy on older CD's..
2.The cover/lid of my laptop when i close it its kinda not in line with the rest of the pc it is not totaly alligned but its kinda hard to see expect when you look for it..but its properly on and its not lose or anything just not alinged to the "body" of the laptop
3.The lid again, Underneath the screen where the lid is mounted to the "body" off the laptop if.. it is not glued to the screen like the rest of the edges its just putted next to it you can drag in it so you can see the wires going into the screen etc
is that normal?
-thanks

1 I can imagine that CDs/DVDs are louder. Maybe are they a little bit out of shape and by spinning you can notice some vibrations. Be sure the discs are placed properly into optical disc drive.
2 It is not easy to discuss about it without some picture but I don't think it is some serious issue.
3 What you see is probably cable for WLAN antenna. WLAN antenna is placed behind the LCD.
I cannot confirm this is normal or not normal because I don't have L500 but if you want to have professional opinion visit nearest Toshiba service and show what do you mean exactly.
For me all this don't sound as some serious issues or hardware problems.

Having issues with my DVD drive...

I never used to have problems playing DVDs until recently, and why, I have no idea. I've looked up other threads on the forums and I don't quite see my problem showing up, so here it is.
Every time I insert a DVD, the drive recognizes and registers the disk, but as soon as the DVD player attempts to open, the entire system freezes. I can't eject it; I have to simply restart my computer. I thought this was just a problem with one movie, but I've tried several and I can't play them back any longer. I can't open them with any other program I have either.
I just recently updated my OS, if that helps, but I'm not really sure what's going on. Any help would be fantastic.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

Issues with External Hard Drives

I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

Permissions repair complete
My concerns are:
* Some of the permissions repaired yesterday appear to have needed to be repaired again today
* There are several files which carry a warning that they won't be repaired as they have been 'modified', and some of these clearly relate to disk management.
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on???
Thanks!!

Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

Need advice with internal DVD Drive

Hello, my dvd drive reads CD's but not DVD's (Movie or Data). It makes a clicking sound then ejects the DVD which made me think it was a hardware failure, but when I put in a CD,it is fine. I've deleted the dvd.plist and ran permmission fixer. Any ideas, or should I just get a new drive.

Go here and scream at Apple for refusing to address this ongoing issue. Explain the issue(s) you are having. -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
People keep starting new discussion threads on this same old problem. If you have the money to go out and spend around $20 (US) on a DVD lens cleaner, please post your result here.
I posted the following response yesterday in a similar thread:
I realize this isn't a forum for venting, but I'm really getting sick of this ongoing issue. Where is Apple in all of this? Read on, if you want to see how far back this goes.
I have an older G5, purchased in November 2003, with a Pioneer Stupordrive which exhibits the same awful behavior. I've been following these G5 Superdrive discussion threads for nearly a year, and I've tried most of the suggestions offered. None have worked for me, and it appears that there are a large number of Mac owners with similar DVD drive problems.
My Stupordrive used to mount and play ALL DVDs. That lasted for about 1-1/2 years from purchase. Now it plays some retail DVD movies, but not others. It burns DVDs just fine, but won't read them (see below). Sometimes it ejects them, other times it just sits there trying to mount with the "unfomatted floppy" sound until I manually eject via the eject key (takes two tries). I have used various brands for burning, including the over-priced DVD-R's (4x) from the Apple store. No problems with burning or reading CDs. I will try Verbatim, but seriously doubt it will make any difference. The worst part of this is that I have about 25Gb of unreachable DATA on DVDs.
This problem seems to be prevalent, and is independent of OS version, purchase date, or configuration. Before I go out and spend money (even $40) on a new drive, I want to be sure it will not behave the same way because of some fundamental flaw in the G5 architecture or the OS.
I have an ancient Micron PC that's six years old with its original DVD player. Guess what; it mounts and plays/reads every DVD I put in it, including those I burned on the Mac.
Can anyone suggest a drive that will work on the G5 and last for more than a year or so?

Boot Camp help on MacBook Pro with no DVD drive

I purchased a 2010 15" Pro from a friend that just ordered a new Mac. He removed the CD and installed a 128 SSD as the primary drive and used a DVD shell kit that now houses the 2.5 SATA drive as the 2nd drive.
I want to load Win 7 using Boot Camp but I am running into a problem. I have downloaded all of my drivers and have a USB DVD attached. I get as far as installing windows in the Boot Camp setup, the Mac reboots to install 7 but when it reboots I get a flashing icon at startup the switches between an 'X', an 'apple' logo and the 'NO' symbol (circle with a slash).
How do you load windows with no DVD?
I made a bootable USB from my 7 ISO but that doesn't seem to work either. Any suggestion?

ISO issue: burn to DVD has to use another program or if you use Disk Utility use the slowest 2x burn speed
A driver is provided in download for MacBook Air models that lack a DVD.
Swap the superdrive back for the install is what 98% finally bit the bullet and works.
There is also an issue with having two drives present during Windows install.
So you need a USB-DVD driver on USB flash for those Macs that do not have a DVD (no one uses CDs)

Known issues with the Super Drive on an iMac 2.7 Ghz

Are there any known issues with the Super Drive on an iMac 2.7 that would result in speed issues and a grinding sound?

Vertically installed super slim DVD drives are not as reliable as a plain desktop burner. I've had one fail in two of three iMacs and have always had an external which I use most of the time. Other than that, the brand new iMacs do not have a Super Drive, so if that is what you are inquiring about, the point is moot. You need to buy an external anyway. As far as speed, I have never used a burner at high speed - unless you have a professional model, you can easily get burn errors when burning at a fast speed; sometimes consumer models do well burning with high speeds , other times not.

Scary "rattling / vibrating" noise with iMac DVD drive

I have an iMac for 2 months now and experience problems with the DVD drive. With some DVDs (not all, but still too many for my taste) it spins around quite fast and makes a scary sound as if the DVD is vibrating (rrrrrrr) inside the iMac's superdrive. I am a bit affraid it will damage my DVDs. When I try to burn a DVD with iDVD or Toast the DVD is ejected by the system with a HW error.
I called the Apple help desk and was asked to burn a DVD with finder. That went ok. Next DVD with iDVD failed. I was asked to install iDVD again, because they thought it could be a software issue. The next DVD I could burn without problems, so the case was closed. Later burning some DVDs failed again, but at the moment the majority succeeds. And reading some already written discs makes sometimes a scary noise, but I can still read them.
I am not sure if I should call apple again, because it not always fails. It is very disappointing to be having these problems with my first Apple. Didn't expect that at all. Every time I insert a DVD now, I wonder what will happen. But it would be a pity to have to add an external dvd reader/writer to the beautiful integrated iMac.
Anybody a suggestion, or is it better to call Apple again?

I also have this problem with my 2.4ghz, 24" iMac. It started a few months back and it didn't seem to affect the media I stuck into it and for about 75% of the time the vibration was minimal. Now some DVD media are getting stuck in the drive and it takes a lot of tries with the eject button before enough of the DVD or CD shows itself to pull it out ... otherwise it gets sucked back in and I am back trying again.
What has just freaked me out is that some of the discs I have just burnt, when inserted, ask whether I want to write them i.e thinks they are blank ... when they go perfectly on my powerbook or my wife's G5 iMac. I just thought I would check out the support forums for a lead, but doesn't seem like a regular fault so its off to the repair shop under warranty (up to a week wait around here).
So can't help that much iDijkman ... I suppose get it fixed while you still have some warranty.

Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Purchase new superdrive, takes 2-3 weeks for shipping at my city.
It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

How to buy and install mac os x 10.6 in a late 2007 mac book with no dvd drive?

i want to buy snow leopard for mac book with no dvd drive, but the only choice in app store is dvd copy, no digital copy!

You'd have to have someone with a DVD drive make a Disk Image of the DVD, have them Restore that .dmg to a Flash drive that's big enough, the boot the MB using alt key to choose to boot from the USB Flash drive.

Panther on Emac with no DVD drive?

Hi
Does anyone know how I can load Panther into my emac when it only has a CD drive - the installation discs for Panther are DVDs?
Many thanks

mousetarget,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If you have or can borrow another Mac with a DVD drive that can boot Tiger, you can connect the two with a Firewire cable and put the eMac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. You can also use an external DVD drive. A safer option is to use Apple's Tiger Media Exchange program (which has been continued past it's original July 2005 expiration date) to exchange your Tiger DVD for a set of CDs for a nominal S/H fee. That way, if you ever need to reinstall Tiger and don't have the second Mac or external DVD drive handy, you can still proceed.
