Disk Not Ejected Properly

Windows automatically ejects my OS X disc; unable to install drivers

I've just installed Windows XP using Boot Camp. I've successfully gotten through the installation and am able to start and run Windows. I'm at the part where I'm supposed to insert the OS X disc so that drivers can be installed. However, whenever I insert the disc, after several seconds it's automatically ejected.
The disc is a 10.5.4 retail copy. I've also tried using the Snow Leopard update disc, since I didn't know if that included the drivers, too, but that disc is also automatically ejected. I do not have access to the OS X disc that came with the computer, but 10.5.4 is newer than what came with this particular computer (a 15.4" MBP bought in Feb. 2008, about a month before the last revision of non-unibody laptops were rolled out).
I have successfully installed Windows XP (from the same Windows XP CD) on this same computer in the past, using, I'm very certain, the same 10.5.4 retail OS X disc to install the drivers. I'm not sure why it's not working this time, if it's a problem with the disc, the drive, or something else. I understand that Apple doesn't really provide a method to get those drivers other than installing them from the OS X disc. So I'm at a bit of a loss on how to proceed.
I do have the OS X disc and it is readable in OS X itself. Is it possible, perhaps, to copy the appropriate files from the disc, while in OS X, onto the Windows partition, so that I can reboot into Windows and update the drivers from the copied files rather than from the OS X disc? If so, what do I need to copy from the OS X disc?
Or is there some other workaround I should try first?

I too am having this issue. I originally installed Vista using Boot Camp and used the OSX install disc that came with my Macbook Pro to install the Apple drivers.
I just removed the partition last night and have now installed Windows 7 using boot camp. I can read the disc on my regular PC just fine - but Windows on my Mac keeps on ejecting the disc.
However, I have had huge problems with this Macbook disc drive. I think the disc drive is the sole reason that I would never purchase another mac. I hate it. It's noisy and unreliable. I constantly have to share disc drives off of other computers to run discs.

My CD/DVD drive automatically ejects every disc I put in.

Hi!
I have an Mac Book 15" - Late 2011 / OX 10.9.2 8 Gig RAM AND 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor.My CD/DVD drive automatically ejects every disc I put in immediately. I can't figure out why it's doing this as till December 2013 it was doing fine? I had to reinstall OX and Maverics as my Laptop was lost and recovered and I had actioned erase all data.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you suspect it could be the latter, you may just have to replace the optical drive, or add an external one that supports Mac OS X utility booting, and not use possible rootkit CDs again.

Mac Keep Ejects Installation Media, Hard disk is empty, How to install OSX

I installed Ubuntu in my Mac Mini, Later my apple wireless keyboards pairing is not working and to pair i need to have OS X installed, since no osx installed, to boot i used to press the option key. So now I formated linux, now my hard disk is empty no partition or nothing. But the problem is my mac mini keeps ejecting OS X installation media (original dvd set came with mac mini) but I can boot from ubuntu live cd. How can I solve this problem. Some one told me to reset my pram, but I was unable to do it. Pressing Command Option P R does nothing. Please help me out. without my machine working I'm like a dead man.

Yeah I managed to get one, and tried c key to boot from the disk. It doesn't work. The current status of my machine is. My hard drive is clean (unpartitioned space, I formated it). Still Mac Ejects OS X installation media which came with the mac mini, But I can boot using Ubuntu,Solaris,etc disks and I can install them. How can I install OS X in this situation. Since I'm doing my PG course in Computer Science, the system is an urgent stuff for me.. Please help me out.
And why mac is ejecting the actual original installation media even when it's taking all other disks ?? I tried two different disks to make sure if it's the trouble of the disk, but that's not the case. I only ejects OS X disks and ejects all OSX Disks (i tried tiger disk, and leopard disk)

How do I fix iMac that automatically ejects disks without reading them

How do I fix an iMac that automatically ejects disks without reading them?
Have tried resetting the SMC, didn't work.
If I have to get a new drive, how much do they cost on an iMac and where do I get it fixed?
Very disappointed if we have to spend money to fix computer as we have not had this computer for a very long time and we bought a Mac because it was supposed to be better.

Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
Also might try one of those cleaning CDs.
Replacing it isn't very easy, but...

Automatically ejecting or unmounting a drive on shut down?

Greetings,
Is there a way to write a script for automatically ejecting or unmounting a drive on shut down?
I have a couple of firewire external drives that need to be unmounted before I shut down the computer and sometimes I forget (running the risk of losing data).
Is it best to do it with Applescript or Automator?
Thanks folks!

I'm highly confused here.
Part of the clean shutdown process is to
unmount any mounted drives. Adding a logoutHook
script isn't going to change that - it would just do
manually what the OS would do automatically.
Now an unclean shutdown such as a kernel panic
or power outage isn't going to unmount your drives,
but you also don't get an opportunity to unmount the
drives yourself.
What makes you say your drives aren't getting
unmounted?
This may help with my question above.
I have WD drive, and this is what they recommend for me to do.

They want me to unmount the drive before I shut down.
Is there a way to write a script for automatically unmounting a drive on shut down? With a script?
Thanks fo the replies!

Nano Automatically Ejecting

Just got what I believe is a 6th gen Nano under the replacement program. I have songs stored on it and it has been sync'd. I have selected "manually manage music and videos" and the "enable disk use" is checked but grayed. When first plugged into my Mac with USB the nano shows up in "devices" in iTunes and as a device on my desk top, but when MacBook Pro goes into sleep mode the nano automatically ejects. I cannot get it to show in devices again unless I unplug the USB and re-attach it. It will also not respond to "SYNC" when sync button clicked. I have tried pushing the sleep button and the nano will come out of black screen but still not show up in devices. I also have an iPod Touch and this is not happening with it.
Is this normal behavior?
PS: How do you tell what generation this nano is?

More information:
I plugged in my iPod Touch again and as always it automatically initiated "Sync" as soon as it was connected. ITunes does not Sync the Nano (6th gen) when it is plugged in, and as stated the Sync button also does not respond. The Nano did go through an initial Sync procedure when it was first connected to iTunes as a new device with no songs recorded on it from my iTunes library.
The other difference in the Touch and Nano is the Touch does not show up on my desk top as a device but the Nano does. Both of course are listed as devices in iTunes, until my Macbook goes into sleep mode then the Nano, as stated in my original post, automatically ejects.
And yet another difference is the Touch does not have an option to "Enable Disk Use" in the summary window, but the Nano does offer that choice.
Hope someone can confirm if this is normal behavior for Nano.

CDs not recognised and automatically ejected

I have a 3 month old mac mini, yesterday I was putting CDs onto iTunes and having left a Cd in for maybe 20 mins (it went on to iTunes okay), I changed the "when you insert a CD" iTunes Preferences setting from "Import" to "Import and Eject". Immediately after that it would no longer recognise any CD and just automatically ejects them after about 20 seconds or so. I've reset the iTunes Preferences back to "Import" done the basic checks, repaired permissions, reset the SMC, but still nothing. The machine is still under warranty but my reseller informs me that it can be picked up within 5 days and then looked at and repaired, so maybe a 2 week turn around - definitely NOT acceptable!. Any help would be much appreciated.

You might try going to Apple Menu > System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and change the Music CD setting from Open in ITunes to ignore.
Probably best to quit iTunes before doing this.
Then insert a Music CD. It should show up on the desktop. Right-click on it and eject it.
Then go back to Sys Prefs' CDs & DVDs and reset Music CD back to Open iTunes.
Hopefully that will straighten things out. If not, there is probably just a "plist" file somewhere that needs to be deleted -- and some other poster will know what that is.

Disc automatic eject

Hi,
I have a problem with my optical drive.
When I try insert any DVD or CD, its automatic eject.
How can I fix this problem ?

Thanks

Get a optical disk reader cleaner. If that doesn't fix it, then the reader is kaput and you should return it to Apple (or Apple Store) for service.

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?

How do you "pause" an open application, like Mac automatically does when the memory is full?
I would like to do so proactively when I am not using a certain program but need to keep it open, and I want to free up computer resources.
In other words, I want to keep a given program open, but stop it from "thinking".

There is an application that I can only open a set number of times before it expires. Every time the program closes, you get one less use out of it. I want to use it as long as possible, so I thought I would just keep it open all the time. However, it consistently turns on the fan on the computer, so I imagine it uses a lot of resources. I got the idea after the Force Quit program "paused" it once after getting overloaded with all the apps I had open. It stopped the fan, and I was able to open it and run it again later with no problems. The tricky thing with trying to intentionally overload the system is that it's a hit or miss on which open program the OS will pause (to my knowledge).

Why won't my mac automatically select my home network?

Why can't my Mac AUTOMATICALLY connect to my wireless hub. I get a message that the network can't be found. This occured after I had to reset the hub and then had to re-setup the network.

Go to  > System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi. Click the Advanced… button and select the Wi-Fi tab.
Under Preferred Networks, select your old network, or better yet select all that appear, and click the "–" (minus) button for each one. Check the box "Remember networks this computer has joined" if it is not already checked.
OK then Apply.
In your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, select your network and provide its password.
Your Mac should now remember it.

ITunes automatically ejects iPod

I'm new to iPod/iTunes and I'm really really disappointed. I payed US$ 300 for my Nano (it is more expensive here in Brazil) but it is not working, thanks to iTunes.
My USB drive is really working well - I must say it before you ask it.
The problem is that as soon as I connect my iPod to my computer, iTunes opens by itself (without my permission. I've already tried to change it but *the program doesn't accept my settings*). And when iTunes is completely loaded, it automatically ejects my iPod. This is REALLY annoying me.
I've been searching on the internet for two nights and it seems that nobody has a solution for that.
What should I do now?
PS: YES, I'm using the latest iTunes version, my Windows IS XP/SP2, I've already tried those 5R's thing.

I had already tried it and it didn't work, because, as I said, iTunes automatically ejects the iPod, so the changes that I try to make in its configurations are not accepted.

What can I do if a disc automatically ejects?

I'm trying to burn music to a CD but every disc I insert automatically ejects.

You don't want to change the player Region Code. If I remember correctly you can only change the Region Code three times and it sticks to the last Region Code you selected.
Does the DVD play in another player?
