Mac wont accept disc wont go in

Wont accept disc, wont grab and go into drive. Tried to eject just incase there was a disc left in, non ejected.

First, does System Profiler see the optical drive? If it does not the drive is dead.
Go to: Apple Menu / About this Mac / More Info.
In the left column, click on Disc Burning. The optical drive should show up there.

    My Mac wont except dvds or cds. It doesnt even make any noise it acts like a dvd is already in there, but there isnt, please help?

    When you push one in, what happens? Whir and spit out? Can't put one in? Which machine? Details please. If the SuperDrive is empty, then Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC and try inserting a disc again.

    Hi there,
    If you go to the Apple equivalent of: Appdata\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates (sorry am a mere PC user )
    If there is a file titled iphone1,22.1_5F136Restore then try deleting it and then running iTunes without your iPhone attached.
    Go to the menu and select Help/Software Updates which should then notify you that there are updates and allow you to download them in advance of restoring.
    Hopefully this will download the update. Once completed attach the iPhone and restore.
    Hopefully this might sort your issue out.
    Ciao

  • TS1543 my mac wont stop at single user it continues to root, how can i get to single user to enter info needed to reset password

    I my mac wont recognise my password, i have tried to reset password using single user but my mac wont stop at single user it just continues to root, how do i get it to stop at single user so i can add info needed to reset password?

    Are your sure that wasn't a Verbose boot (Cmd-V) you were trying? That would go on to a regular boot.
    Try a PRAM Reset, then try the single user, Cmd-S, at the startup chime. For the PRAM Reset, hold down Option - Cmd - P - R all together until it chimes a total of three times, then let go to finish booting.

  • G5 mac wont boot up past white apple screen

    Hi there Peter,
    Not cheap anyway you look at it sorry, professional Data Recovery being the most expensive.
    Unfortunately, Disk Utility can't fix all that much, and the only other Apple Options are erasing the HD, or installing OSX to a second drive, then using Migration Assistant to move stuff over to the new HD.
    If Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...

    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

    This one would require another HD with plenty of space to recover to.
    You should use another Boot Disk or other Mac with this one in Target mode to do the recovery.
    They have a free demo to see what it could recover.

  • Mac wont sleep!

    My Mac wont sleep. Also constant clicking/grinding noise. Tried disconnecting USB and Firewire connections. Running a Cinema Display with an DVI to ADC adaptor and this has worked fine for 2 years but suspect has something to do with the problem. Thanks

    Try a simple SMC reset:
    Reset the SMC (for MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models with internal batteries):
    1. shut down the MAC
    2. Plug in the MacSafe adapter (i.e.power cord/charger)
    3. PRESS AND HOLD SHIFT+CONTROL+OPTION+POWER buttons at the same time
    4. Release all keys and buttons simultaneously
    5. press the power button to turn on your mac as usual

    Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
    Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
    The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

  • The image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire

    the image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire

    There's no such thing a a FireWire to HDMI converter. Do you mean Mini DisplayPort?
    Are you trying to extend your desktop onto the TV or mirror it? Have you gone to System Preferences, Displays, and either clicked the Mirror Displays option, or used the Arrangement tab to move the two screens into the correct alignment? There should also be a Detect Displays button somewhere in the Displays panel.
