Mac keeps ejecting game disk

I bought X-plane 10 and when ever I insert the disk my Mac doesn't recognise it and just ejects it straight away.
The game requirements are: Intel processor, Mac OS X 10.6 or later, Dual core CPU 2GHz+ with 4GB RAM.
My Mac has: Version 10.9.1, 3.06 GHz Intel core duo, 4GB 1067 MHz RAM.
Should this game work on my computer? Is there anything I can do to make it work?
Thanks.

Check with the develope to see if the app is designed to run with Mavericks! Even though it says it compatible with 10.6.x or later it simply might not be.

I am also having a similar issue. I used Adobe Lightroom and my whole display goes black. Even my laptop screen and the lights on the keyboard go black. I can still hear the fan running, so I assume it is just the display. This is my first Mac and I have had nothing but issues. I think I am going back to Windows after this.

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)

My computer keeps ejecting my disks. What's wrong?

I bought a new computer game and when I put the disk in, it makes the sounds as if its loading the disk, however, nothing happens and it just ejects the disk. I had a disk in last night and it worked just fine. Usually if this happens, it fixes itself after a couple tries. Any help?

Make sure the new computer game meets the Mac OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 requirements.
You can probably find that information from the game manufacture's website.
Just because the game is new doesn't necessarily mean it's v10.8 compatible.
Open a Finder window then press Command + Q on your keyboard to access Finder > Preferrences > General
Make sure: CDs, DVDs, and iPods is selected.

Keeps Ejecting PC Disk & Apps Sometimes Cover Desktop on Launchpad

Hi. I'm loving OS X Lion and I like the gesture to bring up Launchpad and I can't wait for all apps to have fullscreen abilities so you could just swipe between apps. I still believe the gestures that Lion replaced specifically the reverse scrolling and on finger swipe is only intuitive if you're actually using a multitouch screen like maybe an angel adjustable multitouch iMac or multitouch Cinema Display which hopefully will be come out in the near future (with option to use the usual keyboard, mouse, trackpad) but I'm kept it on default, maybe it'll grow on me and may actually be more intuitive even for the desktop. I also can't wait for all apps to use Versions. I do hope they change their theme, the colors are too subdued. It's a subdued Aqua. Launchpad's metallic icon is good. I think Apple should change the theme to "subdued Aqua" to anodized aluminum to give icons and UI elements more distinction. Sometimes the color is too subdued, you think it's been click or is not available.
After upgrading to Lion though, sometimes the apps in Launchpad would cover the Desktop on top. I'm not sure if it's because my apps is always maximized (not really in fullscreen mode) or it's a glitch or a bug. If it's not a glitch, what's the solution for this?
Also, I'm not sure if it's Windows on Boot Camp or Lion but my PC DVD keeps ejecting itself which it hadn't done before. Any solution for this as well?
Thank you in advance.

My mac book keeps ejecting my disk

how can i stop my mac bok from ejecting disk?

Often cleaning the DVD lens will make it functional. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
Occasionally using a different brand of disk will solve the issue. Verbatim seems to be the best in that regard.
Ciao.
The last resort is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

Why does my mac keep ejecting my WB external even after I repaired it in the disk utility?

it also does this with my itouch and I have to keep reinstlling itunes just to synch my music.

By WB do you mean Western Digitial? If so there may be a problem with the HD, WD EHD's don't have a good track record with OS X. They are popular because they're cheap however the enclosures they use eventually cause problems with OS X.

Firewire 800 keeps ejecting my disk

Thought it was a fluke, but it keeps happening. My LaCie drive keeps disconnecting and I get an error message that it was improperly disconnected. I've tried two different firewire cables. I'm not touching the cord. It just suddenly loses the connection. Is it possible that I have a bad firewire port? I just bought the MacBook today. Should I return it for a replacement?

Hi,
I am encountering a similar eject disk problem. When attempting to clone (with CCC) iMac's internal HD to external firewire 800 connected HD, the cloning stops fairly quickly and Firewire HD is ejected with an error message stating disk has not been properly ejected. The result is that the cloning partition becomes corrupted and can't be repaired by disk utility.
Since I am using a quad interface HD NewerTech Voyager Q ''toaster'' for internal drives, I managed to make a functional clone the iMac HD with usb connection.
But if I attempt to boot with firewire connection the corruption problem is recreated > Backup screwed.
I was wondering if my firewire port could be dead ? I tried multiple times formatting the HD and start the process again but firewire connection and cloning leads to failure at each trial.
Any idea ? (Note: everything in my setup seems up to date)

Trying to back up with time machine for first time. It keeps ejecting the disk a few minutes in. Any ideas?

I am using a WD My Passport to try and do a time machine backup for the first time, on my iMac desktop.
the first couopleo of times I did it, it was really slow and then crashed after a few mins. I started again as if it was a new external harddrive and some home it tarted a bit faster, getitng to aboyt 6GB of the 280GB within 10 mins and then crashed again. All I see is that it is no longer working and a message pops up saying 'Disk was not ejected properly', even though I havent touched it.
Am I doing soemthing wrong or have I got a dodgy external disk?

My mac keeps freezing, the disk utility states the hardrive is failing

Hi. My desktop was upgraded to the snow leopard and has had increasing problems with freezing. Now it wont start up at all, so I have to open it with the Disk 1 OS.. then I went to the disk utility to try and repair it. But it says the hard drive is failing. When I did the hard drive test, it passed without any issues. I am confused and cannot restart my computer.

If by the "hard drive test" you mean the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that you run by starting up the Mac into it, it is possible (but not very likely) that reformatting the HD using Disk Utility while booted from the installer DVD & then reinstalling the OS from the same source will set things right.
To do the reformat, select the entire HD & use the "Partition" tab to choose a new, single partition scheme from the popup.
But if you cannot even get that far, or the process fails, then your drive is dying, even if AHT can't detect it.

IMac Bootcamp keeps ejecting Windows 7 installtion disk

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro which used to have Windows 7 on via Bootcamp but the Windows partition started crashing so in the end I uninstalled windows using Bootcamp reverting my hard drive to just one partition. Now I'm attempting to do the same thing again. I followed the correct procedures but for some reason my mac keeps ejecting the Windows 7 installation disk. It's the same disk I used when I first installed Windows. Any ideas?

This is for UltimateRainbow
On the OSX side, if you put in the Windows DVD, can OSX read the DVD?

Please help! 1TB SSHD drive in my optical bay keeps ejecting itself.

I recently purchased a 13in macbook (non-retina, build 13e28), 500gb HD with the optical drive running the latest version of Mavericks 10.9.4. I decided to install a Samsung SSD (120gb) along with a 1TB Seagate SSHD (a hybrid SSD). My intention is to use the SSD for startup and for all my apps and to use the SSHD for storage of my music. I have all my music from my 2008 macbook in an external disk and while I was transferring all my files (music, movies, pictures, documents, & downloads) the SSHD ejected on its own and I was prompted with a small window that said "Disk Not Ejected Properly - Eject "SSHD" before disconnecting or turning it off".
I've rebooted several times and even re-installed the OS on my SSD to see if that would fix anything. I also verified/repaired disk/permissions on the SSHD and it still keeps ejecting the disk within 2 minutes of re-booting.
Can someone please help me resolve this? Thank you!

Check the specs for storage of your macbook. It probably can only handle up to 750 GB.

Mac mini mid 2010 hard disk keeps ejecting itself

My mac mini is set up with two sata disks installed, one is a 128 ssd and the other a 1tb hdd. Since installing mountain lion, the hdd keeps ejecting itself, and i get a message saying - this hard disk was not properly ejected. then i wont find the disk in finder, or disk utility!. I then have to remove the hdd from the mac mini and plug it into a usb caddy, which finds it no problem, and then when i put it back in the mac mini, it works again!! so the disk is not faulty i dont think. It then works for a period as random as a few hours, to a few weeks and then i will randomly get the "this disk was not ejected properly" message and it has again dissapeared. I use the mac mini as a media centre and it isnt really being pushed hard when the failure happens.
Anyone have any ideas as to whats wrong?

Hello, Sorry for the late reply.
When i open console after the ejection i get the message:
01/11/2012 22:32:42.000 kernel[0]: Failed to issue COM RESET successfully after 3 attempts. Failing...
01/11/2012 22:32:42.000 kernel[0]: disk1s2: no such device.
Hope this gives a clue, i'm tearing my hair out over it. there is absolutely nothing wrong with the disk itself.
If i do a full shutdown and restart, it finds the disk again no problems, but if i simply choose to restart from the menu, it does not find the disk again.
Thanks for any help you can give on this. I have only been experiencing this issue since i upgraded to mountain lion.

Mac Book / 10.5.2 ~ Keeps ejecting CD-R but DVD's seem okay.

Hello there,
My apologizes, I know that there are different threads throughout several discussions on this or something that may seem very similar but regrettable I have not been able to find a solution.
I have a first generation Black MacBook running 10.5.2, I had a problem with my drive and in November Apple replaced it under apple care. Currently I have a :
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857:
Firmware Revision: HBEA
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media:
Type: CD-R
Blank: Yes
Erasable: No
Overwritable: Yes
Appendable: Yes
Write Speeds: 8x, 24x
The problem has a few different elements:
1. When I insert a CD-R disc that I know works (tried on a windows box), I get the standard Finder Message saying "You Inserted a blank CD. Choose an action from the pop-up menu or click Ignore." I click Eject and try again with the same result each time.
2. When i try to record my own CD-r from a new spool it looks like it will burn but I get an error saying "... calibration problem . . ." and the disk fails.
I have tried to reset my PRAM no luck
I have tried to hold my MacBook upside down no Luck
i have re-installed 10.5.2 combined update. no luck
Checked the disk and permission . no luck.
If you are able to offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for you help and any reply you may offer.
In Peace,
-h

Did this happen right after you got it back from Apple?
No it did not had burned over 50 disks before it began.. Started within the last 2 weeks. Cannot recall any particular change I made to the machine to prompt or trigger this.
If so, you should of sent it back then.
How long did you hold it upside down? The entire sequence.. Stated upside down. Put the disk in.. waited till i saw the Dialogue Box then turned it over in total about 10-15 Seconds.
When you say tried to reset pram, did you successfully do this? I believe so. .The machine restarted and beeped then went over the inital start up chime again. So i bleive it was successful
Did this start after you installed Leopard? I have only been using Leopard since I got the replacement drive. I thought 10.5.2 could have triggered it but no confirmation.
What brand of disk are you using?
Several including (imation, datawrite, princo) I know you will likely comment on the names of the disks. but i do not believe it to be the disks as even with the quality ones it is the same problem and when i place a burned disk in the drive it still thinks it is blank.
Thanks again for the help.

My MBP keeps ejecting my install disks!

I thought I'd make backup copies of my SL disks, but the Machine keeps ejecting them. It reads other disks just fine, including the Tiger install disks off an iMac.
The SL disks will read fine in the iMac, but the MBP doesn't want them!
And once I've solved that, how do I copy them? On the iMac I keep getting the installer if I click on the disk icon.

The SL disks are DL DD DVD's. Perhaps your optical drive is having problems reading those. Take it to an Apple store or AASP.
How to Make a Non-Commercial DVD copy of MAC OS X
Making a DVD Image:
 Step 1. Insert the retail Mac OS X Install DVD into your drive. 
Step 2. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). 
Step 3. In Disk Utility, you will notice a white pane on the left hand side. In the pane, select the Mac OS X Install DVD by clicking on it once. 
Step 4. Click New Image on the Disk Utility toolbar. 
Step 5. A dialog box will appear. Give the new image a name. I used 'Mac OS X Install DVD'. Select the destination where you wish to save it. Leave Image Format at Compressed (default) and Encryption at None (default). 
Step 6. Click Save to begin creating the image. 
Step 7. Once your image has been created DO NOT mount it. Leave the image alone and proceed to the next section.
  Burning the Image:
 Step 1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). 
Step 2. Click Burn on the Disk Utility toolbar (upper left). 
Step 3. Navigate to where you saved the DVD image created in the previous section. Click on the image file, then click the Burn button. Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step. 
Step4. Insert a DVD when prompted and proceed to Burn it. (use good quality media).
