Mac not reading Elements 6 disc

I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard. It's been awhile since I've tried installing Photoshop Elements 6, but I am trying currently. Disc is good, no scratches, used for install plenty of times in the past. Every time I insert it into the laptop, it takes the disc and thinks on it, like it's going to load. But then just ends up spitting the cd back out. Any help as to how to correct this?

Not mounting. No other drive to try at this very moment, but hopefully when I can get ahold of a friend. Disc is most likely good though, kept in original casing, and was working just fine when I installed in the past, before Snow Leopard. However, I've been seeing a lot of similar posts to this without a definite fix. I didn't have this issue before Snow Leopard. Is it some sort of compatability issue? Is there something that needs to be downloaded for a fix?

My Equium U400 is not reading or burning discs.
Can anyoe help please ?

Hey,
Ok, your notebook isnt able to read or burn disks but what does this mean exactly?
Is your drive listed in device manager?
=> You could try to remove it and restart your notebook.
Do you see yellow exclamation marks in device manager on ODD?
=> Check the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Its known issue.
Do you get an error message if you try bruning a disk?
=> Try another burning program like CD Burner XP
Have you checked the Toshiba website for a firmware update?
Which OS you are using?
As you can see, a lot of not answered question they would be important to help you.

Mac not reading certain DVDs.....

Can someone offer a download/quickfix to this problem? One DVD in particular works fine on my DVD player connected to my TV, but will not read on my computer.
Is there something I can download to improve the readability of the software? I have Toast 7 and IDVD, but I think the problem isn't with either player, but something with the machine.
Thoughts ?

Many have reported mixed results reading DVDs on Macs and here are the most common reasons:
1. If these are all commercial movie DVDs, and they are the standard size on
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
and the problem is strictly with playing movies, I'd contact Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
2. There are some programs in the media content of discs that only work on Windows or a special DVD Player called Interactual Player. http://player.interactual.com/default.asp?code=MAC
3. If these are homemade DVDs it gets stickier. Many people burn to DVD something other than the standard Video_TS folders, thus they aren't playable in a standard DVD Players. DVD-R DL is not as supported as DVD+R DL.
Older Macs don't support DVD+R DL or single layer at all. To find out if yours does, check the specs of your Mac:
http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.html
If the Mac only supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, or CD-R, then it doesn't support DVD at all. Combo drive Macs support playing DVD-ROM and DVD-R discs, but now DVD-RW or DVD+R unless the specs actually say those formats are supported. Superdrive Macs of varying vintages may support DVD-R, and DVD-RW, but not DVD+R or DVD+RW when it comes to burning.
PC burnt DVDs in UDF or Joliet may not read at all whereas those burnt in ISO 9660 have a much better chance of being read. For UDF, you may need:

4. DVDs burnt for different regions than a region locked DVD drive may also not play:

Desk top computer will not load or read Elements 10 disc

I recieve Elements 10 for Christmas. I put the first disc in and it does not even load? I just loaded a wireless network software disc on and it worked fine. My computer is a 2007 Dell Inspiron 531s and am wondering if it is too old to support this software? Any help would be great. I would assume if it could not support it, at least the disc would try to load? Thanks

If you look at your optical drive does it have a DVD symbol on it? It is possible you might only have a CD drive and not a DVD drive.

Mac not reading Disc full of .VOB and other DVD files

Hi all! I wasn't sure where to put this so here I am.
I'm currently transferring old VHS cassettes to DVD-R using the Sony RDR VX530. The disc plays in the Sony. I finalize it and take all appropriate steps. When I insert the DVD-R into my MacBook, it says "Burnable Disc" and shows no files. None at all. I took the disc to my sister's house and put the disc in her Windows laptop and ::BAM:: all the files were there and playable on the windows machine. What gives? I can put other dvds in the drive and see the Video_TS and Audio_TS files, but not the ones I record on this machine. The machine only has two recording options, VR and Video, both of which have to be finalized. Is there a solution besides me having to go borrow a windows laptop to connect to the network so I can pull the .vob files onto my mac?

It sounds to me like you didn't finalize your DVD!
Most DVD recorders and DVD cameras don't finalize the DVD until you specifically tell them to. This finishes writing things like file system information on to the disk but it also makes it so that more data cannot be written to the disk in the future. (This is why it doesn't do it until you tell it to).
Some Windows computers have software that allows them to read disks that haven't been finalized yet. I actually think its a feature of Vista and 7 but I'm not sure about that. Either way, look in your DVD recorder's manual about finalizing the disk to get it to work on your Mac.

My PowerMac G5 will not read my Leopard disc, dual layer dvd, how do I force boot from UBS DVD drive to install?? Or is there another way. It just keeps spitting out the disc!!

I have a power mac G5. Ir originally had Tiger on it. When I reinstalled for some odd reason the disc decided to install Panther, no clue why!! Either way I got a hold of a Leopard disc for this computer. It is apple certified and bought from Amazon and works for this computer.
Hoever, for some odd reason it keeps spitting it out. Discs under 4.7 GB is reads fine but the bigger discs it wont seem to read. What I need is to know how to get, or force, it to boot from an extrenal dvd drive. Or any other methods to get it to install.

I do not believe you can "Upgrade" directly from the "Panther" installed on your computer to "Leopard". You have to have at least "Tiger" installed already Before you can install Leopard. Thus your Mac is not recognizing the Leopard Install disk.

Mac not reading RAID drives

I have been having problems with my ATA VideoRaid drive of sometimes the computer not recogning it and not mounting it to the desktop or finder. I go to the system profiler, and it recognizes it there. It is connected through a SCSI cable connection. I go to Disk Utility and it recognizes it also, it recognizes the ATA RAID drive, and it also recognizes it as the name I have given it, MediaExternal. But the MediaExternal portion of it has like a blank document image next to it.
The MediaExternal is the way I formatted the drive, Mac OS Extended. I have been having problems with this RAID, with it loosing sync during a video capture. I use this RAID with Final Cut Pro editing system. I have fixed the problem with the sync loss, mostly after buying Disk Warrior and basically erasing the whole drive, and trashing the preferences in FCP.
But now my problem is with the drive not mounting on the desktop or finder. Any advice!
G5 Dual 2 GHz PowerPC
8 GB DDR SDRAM
Mac OS X 10.4.8

It won't allow me to verify permissions or even repair them. It will only allow me to verify disk and repair disk, in which both of those came back ok. I really can't back anything up, because it won't even allow me to access the files.

Mac not reading Airport express.

Hello..
I just bought the airport express and I connected the ethernet cable from my cable modem to the port. At this point the Airport light was green and the lights on my modem were flashing as if it was working.
Thinking this was a great start I went to the Aiport Setup Assistant and chose to set up a new airport base station. An error comes up telling me "no new airport networks were found". I can't get the internet to work, and I've tried with my mac and my girlfriends pc.
Two things:
1. What can the issue be?
2. Why are the modem lights flashing as if there is a connection to something.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

Make sure that you have Airport turned on in the
Airport menu in the menu bar. If it is turned on,
make sure that the Express is in an unconfigured
state. To do so, press and hold the reset button
until the LED flashes rapidly. Then try running the
Airport Setup Assistant again.
Yes it says that its on, but yet I am getting no bars on my mac.
Do I need to configure anything on my mac so the Airport signal is read. It seems like my system just isnt reading the port. AHH..Sorry..not super computer savvy, yet really want to get this working. Thanks so much.

HT1338 why wont my mac mini read snow leopard disc, it will read other dvd's and cd's

I have a mac mini since 2009 I recently got the snow leopard from apple but when I insert it it in the drive it just makes a few noises then ejects the disc. I have tried other dvd's and cd's and it reads them ok any help appreciated

It's possible the DVD is damaged, scratched and/or dirty. Check out KB Articles: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 How to Handle and Clean CD and DVD Discs and Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD
Or you can request another DVD from Apple and/or get your $$$ back.
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

DVD/ CDROM Drive is not reading or burning discs

My DVD/ CD Rom Drive has stopped reading discs of any format.
I have tried to update the driver and have been told that I am running the most recent available. Following some research online I understand that it may be something to do with the recent upgrade of iTunes and that it causes some conflict with the device driver.
I have deleted the Upper and Lower Registries as advised by Microsoft but this also hasn't assisted me. I know the system is connecting to the hardware as it thinks the device "is working correctly", but it just isn't finding the discs.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Why can my mac not read autorun CDs ?

I have x-rays, which I can read on any PC, but not on my Mac - how can that be remedied ?

Because the autorun CD is coded to run on a PC and not on a Mac.

XMP Files from MAC Not Reading On PC

My question is two-fold, so I apologize that this is long, but it will be best with the backstory:
I shoot Raw on a Canon 5DMIII and import my images into Lr5 on my PC as CR2 files. I am beginning to work with an editor for the post production of my images and upload my files to her via Dropbox. In effort to keep the files as small as possible (and upload/download times shorter), I export my images as DNGs. Specifically, I ensure the 'Use Lossy Compression' option is checked and the 'Embed Original Raw File' is unchecked. I then resize the image to 2000 pixels on the Long Edge and the overall file is under 1MB.
She then imports the DNG files into her iMac for editing also in Lr5. Prior to my exporting, I will edit a few images as sneak peeks for my clients, flag them as a 'pick' and code them as 'red'. When she imports my DNGs, she can see the 'red', but she cannot see the flagged images. Fine, this is something I can live without. She does her editing, also flagging them as a pick and coding them red. She then exports as the original file.
She then uses ExifTool, opens the terminal application and write in: "exiftool -xmp -b -w xmp -r", drags in the DNG files and exports the XMPs. She then sends the XMP files back to me, I place them into my folder with my original RAW files, tell my PC to 'replace' the XMP files that are already in the folder. Then in Lr5, I highlight all my files and select 'Read Metadata From File'.
Now, initially, nothing happens. I am unable to see any images flagged or coded red. However, I do see the 'attention' icon (I'm sure that is not the right name for it) on the upper right corner of the images she has edited when in the library module. If I click on it, it tells me that the MetaData has conflicting information and do I want the file or catalog to be primary. I click on the 'file' option and only then do I see her edits, including the 'red' coding (but not flagged as 'pick').
Part 1 Questions: Why when I am instructing it to 'Read the MetaData From File' is it not automatically picking up her edits? Am I doing something incorrectly when I put the XMPs back in the original folder with the RAW images and have the XMPs replace the originals? Is it normal for the 'pick' flags to not transfer?
Part 2 Questions: When she edits my images, she creates a virtual copy and creates one color and one b+w of each image for my clients. As such, she sends me back two XMP files for one image. How do I get these 2nd XMPs to map to the virtual copy within my library, as I am only creating the virtual copy of an image once I know it is one she selected for the final gallery. If I create a virtual copy of an image she edited after-the-fact, the b+w XMP cannot locate it.
Any guidance is appreciated! Thank you!

I never tried this, but I'm pretty sure that with DNG files, Lightroom will ignore xmp files, even when you instruct Lightroom to "Read Metadata from File". Lightroom expects all the metadata to be in the DNG file, not in the xmp file.
Pick flags, as far as I know, are never written to xmp file; nor are they written to DNG files.
If you're going to make this transfer procedure work, you need to do it by either (a) embedding the metadata in the DNG file and send those back and forth; or (b) use RAW and xmp and then sending the xmp files back and forth (plus I guess you have to transfer the original RAW once to your editor)

My cd rom drive is not showing up, my dvd is. but its not reading any new discs i put in the drive.

I was having problems and on the support page it said to uninstall the driver and then reinstall. the support page said that i would have to restart my PC and then the found new hardware would come up....That never happened. please tell me what i did wrong

Touchsmart PCs only have one drive, it would show as a DVD not a CD in device manager.
