Lower DVD drive won't open/close since Snow Leopard upgrade

Hello,
I have 2 optical drives in my Mac Pro: 1 Superdrive in the upper slot and 1 DVD-ROM drive in the lower slot (a HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000 which came with my old Dual G4 450).
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I can't use the lower drive anymore, it won't open or close (I used the alt-eject keys, nothing happens). The drive also is not listed in the eject-menu in the menue bar, but it appears in system profiler as:
HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000:
Modell: HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000
Version: 016J
Seriennummer:
Absteckbares Laufwerk: Nein
Protokoll: ATAPI
Einheiten-Nummer: 1
Socket-Typ: Intern
Low-Power-Polling: Nein
Ausschalten: Nein
Anybody any ideas what I can do to get that 2nd drive to work again?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Today I had a little time do do some testing:
The tip with the SMC RESET button didn't help.
Zapping the PRAM/NVRAM didn't help either.
The jumpers were on "cable select" on both drives, I tried to set one as "master" and the other one as "slave". Problem still exists.
I changed the position of the drives to check if the cable is ok. Still the same.
I unplugged the other (working) drive and had just the one plugged in. It shows up in system profiler but not in the drives menue nor in the disk utility application.
I booted from my 10.5 installation DVD and tried the disk utility from there. It's not on the list.
Any other ideas?
Peter

  • DVD drive won't accept disks since Snow Leopard upgrade

    I just upgraded my Macbook to Snow Leopard, and now I can't insert disks into my optical drive. It just won't accept them. Help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Try this:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    No guarantee this will work but it's a start.

  • My dvd drive won't open so I can insert a disc.  It has opened in the past by pushing the button on my mac

    I can't insert any dvd's because my dvd drive won't open when I push the open key.  It has always worked in the past.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    It's possible there is a CD/DVD in the drive that's stuck. Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities. Do you see a CD/DVD in the drive? Try ejecting using unmount.
    If that fails, restart and hold down the mouse button whe restarting.

    Ds store's suggestion:  Reboot the computer holding the option key down, wait for the boot drive options to appear, then press the eject key on the keyboard. When it's out, then select your boot drive and click the arrow key to boot up.

  • E440 CD/DVD Drive Won't Open

    Hello. I bought a Thinkpad Edge E440 and it came yesterday. However the CD/DVD Drive won't open. If it do the paperclip trick, it will, but when I press the button it just makes a few noises and then nothing, if I right click the drive and press eject, same result. Any suggestions please?

    obtain a paper clip, straighten it out and insert it in the small hole found on the bezel of the cdrom drive.  Doing so mechanically releases the drive...
    take reasonable care in doing so....insert it about an inch or so
     I saw that you posted the suggested paper clip trick as a solution, but it does not work for me. my machine is a new (2011) hp. i do not think it matters that it is a bluray drive. any other hints would be hugely appreciated

  • My DVD drive won't open when I click the button

    Hi there
    I'm hoping someone can help me.
    My DVD drive won't open when I click the button.
    I've tried clicking on eject on the DVD Drive icon in My Computers and it comes up with an error message.
    I think I deleted cookies the other day. Could that have anything to do with the problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to send my laptop away to a technician.

    Hi
    Try to open the CD/DVD drive manually.
    Near the eject button you will find a small hole.
    You could use a small object like staple and could push it carefully into this hole.
    Usually this should helps to open the drive manually.

  • TX2 DVD Drive Won't Open

    I bought the Tx2  2 days ago. I had the keyboard stop working on me and was able to get that fixed. Now the dvd drive won't open. When I first boot up the LED light flashes, letting me know that there is power to it but whenever I push the open button, nothing happens. I have tried ejecting it from the drive icon inside of windows explorer and media player.
    I bought this so I could watch movies during my 2 1/2 hour commute so if I can't get this drive open I will be returning it.

    Is there a small paperclip-sized hole on the front of, or next to, the drive? If so, you can put a paperclip in there to manually eject the disc drive.
    Is the drive showing up in the "Computer" explorer window?
    Also, try going to Device Manager and see if the drive is listed or in an error state.

  • Portege R935-ST3N02 with Windows 8 DVD Drive won't open and doesn't appear in Explorer

    I have seen posts concerning this problem under Windows 7, but my new laptop came with Windows 8.  The button on the DVD drive will not open it.  I can force it open using the paper clip hole, but the computer does not recognize any CD or DVD that I put in the drive.  Anyone have ideas on what I should do?

    Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
    If that doesn't work, check if it's listed in the Device Manager.
    Windows key + x > Device Manager > DVD/CD-ROM drives
    If it is listed there, try right-clicking it and selecting "Uninstall." Then reboot your computer and see if it works.

  • Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

    I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
    Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
    Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
    Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
    My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

    I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:

  • MacPro 2007  DVD Drive won't open

    Lion 10.7.4
    Pressing the Eject key on the keyboard does not open the DVD tray.  Usually the Eject symbol appears briefly on the screen and then the tray will extend.  But, this is not working at all.  I've reset the PRAM, but still the problem persists.
    Going to About this Mac shows that the system "sees" the DVD drive, I just can't the the tray to extend.  There is no DVD or CD in the drive at this time.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Galb:
    Sometimes the best solutions are the manual ones.  There is a mechanical fail safe built in to these devices,  I have had to use this method several times myself, so ....
    .....   Try this:
    1) Power off your mac pro.
    2) With your finger, pull down the metal bezel on the affected drive.
    3) You should now see the front plastic bezel on the affected drive, it is usually black or grey.
    4) Look for a small pinhole somewhere on the front. It will have a very small diameter, about 0.5mm.
    5) Yes it's there, all cd/dvd drives have one!   Note: a small flashlight comes in handy here.
    6) Straighten out a standard paperclip for about 2 -3 inches.
    7) Insert the paperclip in the small hole and push, you will have some resistance, and then the drive tray will slowly push out about 0.5 inches or more.
    8) Grab the tray and pull it out slowly!!
    9) You are done!
    10) If you do this gently you won't hurt the drive. Boot up and the tray should automatically slide back in. You are good to go.

  • DVD drive won't open

  • DVD drive won't open... no way to open it!!!

    My problem is that if I press and hold my eject key on the keyboard the eject symbol shows up and fades away on my screen, but the drive will not open. I pulled down the metal cover and was going to try and stick a paper clip into the hole next to the dvd tray, but discovered that there is no hole. I've restarted the computer holding down the mouse button, and i've restarted the computer holding down the eject button to no avail. I've even tried ejecting in Toast and I get NOTHING! So what do i have to do to get the stupid tray out? Pry it open with a crowbar, or maybe blast it open with some C4?

    Hi,
    Just a thought, the ATA cable may be loose or disconnected, if this is the case you'll just need to plug it back in. - Otherwise I'm guessing the drive is dead.
    Here's a link to the manual for how to install the drive, check that the cable is in place. (refer to pages 42 - 46)

  • IPhoto won't open since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to snow leopard iPhoto won't open, it just crashes instantly. I ahve tried reinstalling with no luck.
    Can anybody help with this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan.

    i just bought a new MBP 13'' 2.53 Ghz 4Gb Ram 250GB HD... i tried moving my iPhoto library from my powerbook g4 1.67 machine that was running 10.4.11 (via a Lacie external)
    once i moved this and opened iPhoto (on my new MBp running 10.6.1 - SNOW LEOPARD) it instantly asks me to upgrade the library (saying that the old library needs upgrading for this version), so i click upgrade, and then 2 seconds later it says that the library is corrupt and damaged and i must install from a back up...
    I deleted iPhoto then emptied trash after clearing up some space on the external, meaning i lost iPhoto applicaton - IDIOT I KNOW - so i download iPhoto 8.1 and the library upgrade and error / damaged library message appeared again...
    I have now, (as i type this right now) re-installed snow leopard from the snow leopard disk that came in the MBP box (i have had it like 2 weeks, thats it, it shipped with leopard and i am having to install SNOW LEOPARD, for the 2nd time) to get iPhoto back)... will this give me iPhoto back, or do i have to re-install from the LEOPARD OS disks that were sent in the MBP box, the OS that it shipped with?
    i am very annoyed that it seems that my iPhoto library from a 3.75year old machine cant be on my new machine unless i re-add each PBG4Tiger10.4.11 individual library folder thru the interface of iPhoto on my new machine... (if indeed it will ever open)...
    PLEASE HELP !

  • CD/DVD Drive Not working on iMac using Snow Leopard

    Can anyone help me with a possible solution as to why my CD/DVD Drive on my iMac (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8) has suddenly stopped recognizing any inserted discs?
    It makes a noise - as if it's trying to read them - but then ejects them! Although my iMac is quite old, the actual CD/DVD Drive was only replaced a couple of years ago!
    I'd be grateful of any help, alternatively a rough idea of price for either replacing the drive (if it has gone to the great Apple Drive in the sky) or a plug-in removable drive? Thanks

    Try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) and PRAM OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
    sometimes it helps. You can also try a cleaning disc or blowing some compressed air into the mechanism to get rid of any dust that may be affecting it. The bottom line is that the slot loading SuperDrive, mounted sideways and exposed to the heat generated inside an imac, just doesn't last long. You're better off with an external drive, LG makes good ones for less than $30 http://www.amazon.com/LG-GE24NU30-Super-Multi-External-DVD-Writer/dp/B007WLP0BY/ ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1413369637&sr=8-20&keywords=lg+super+multi+drive

  • Problem with opening .wmv files in QuickTime since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Until upgrading to Snow Leopard any .wmv files would open automatically in QT when double clicked.
    I now get an error message which says "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application".
    I can open the file by launching QT(pro) and opening it from within the player - kind of a long way round.
    Any suggestions what the fix might be would be gratefully received
    Thanks

    Hi,
    try upgrading your Flip4mac plugin to the new Beta version which supports Snow Leopard.
