MacBook does not read [World of Warcraft] disc and ejects it.

Everything was fine yesterday, now all of a sudden today my MacBook doesn't want to read the disc and ejects it, while there's still the small box "Insert World of Warcraft III disc."
I'm wondering what could the problem be?

Make sure the disc is real clean with no finger prints or scratches on it. Also, the laser head could be dirty. Try a cleaning disc.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro Retina Display. In addition, I picked up a USB Superdrive. It appears the Superdrive does not want to accept my discs and just ejects them. What am I doing wrong?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone. See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

MacBook does not read blank DVD

I've been having this problem since yesterday. I've been using the same brand of DVDs for the last five months and have used Toast to burn quite a few DVDs.
Since yesterday, I've been experiencing this problem: I click the burn button on Toast, and insert the DVD. It fails to read it and spits it out.
I've tried running PatchBurn 4, and Reset the PRAM. What happens then is, I can mount the blank DVD on Finder, but when I try it with Toast, it doesn't work.
I then tried mounting it in Finder, started Toast, and clicked burn. I then got this message from Toast:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
Blank CDs mount without a problem, so do DVDs (same brand) that I had previously burned using Toast, as well as DVD movies.
What could be wrong? How could I fix it?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2.0 GHz / 2GB RAM

Wow! I've got the same problem. I was looking for a solution and found your post. This is my brother's kids computer (Macbook) so I don't have much history using it but I did burn a dvd on it around Christmas. Today, no luck. I'm using the same Taiyo Yuden dvd-r 's I used at Christmas and use all the time on my iMac. I can play a dvd and read/burn a cd but if I stick one of the blank dvd's in it just makes and effort to do something and then spits it out. It doesn't open in finder, work with disco or idvd. I guess the whole stack of dvd's could be bad but I doubt it. Tomorrow I have an appt. with a genius to remove one of the screws (crooked and stuck) that holds the ram door (bracket) in place. I'll ask him/her about the dvds when I'm there and post back. Anyone else have suggestions.

My macbook does not read my lacie hard drive

Hello,
I have a lacie external hard drive that I use on my mac book. This worked very well, but since yesterday when I plug it into the USB port, a message appears telling me that my device is too energy intensive (translation of the message displayed in French). Usb keys work very well. Anyone knows there a solution to this problem?
Thanks a lot.

This is a common problem. The MacBook usb ports supply a limited amount of power. If the connected device(s) tries to draw more than that, the connection is terminated.
There really is only one long term solution, viz. a powered USB hub. You connect the hub to the MacBook with a usb cable. The hub is plugged into a power outlet (in the wall) and the usb devices are plugged into the hub.
You can buy a hub with 4 or 6 or 8 or even more ports.

I put accidentally upside down a music CD and it won't go out and it does not read it. How could I eject it?

I don't know how to eject a music CD, that accidentally i put it upside down. And the computer doesnt read it. Please, someone could help me?

all known methods to force eject a stuck cd from a mac:
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the trash can in the dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc Utilityand choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

HT4623 how do i get an iphone to sync to my computer? It does not read when i connect it and it does make a connection sound but my ipod touch has no problem with the same charger.

and my iphone is not syncing either

Try restarting your iPhone, then the computer, then if that doesnt work, try plugging the cord into a different usb outlet. This works for my nano because my laptops outlets are cheap... Hope it helps! if all else fails, ur warrenty will cover it. no worries.

I bought a new MacBook Pro (Mac Os 10.8.4) when conecting my mobile broadband dongle (Huawei E122) the computer does not read it at all. I do not have problems when connecting it to my former computer (PC) and a Mac from last year. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
But thank you for your reply!

Just bought a PNY flash drive and my macbook pro does not read it. Any suggestions?

My MacBook does not start

My MacBook does not start up. I do not get further than the apple logo and spinning wheel

You could try the processes described in the following Support article to test and troubleshoot the computer, before applying the SMC reset section here...
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
This covers several items, including SafeBoot and others, that could help resolve the problem; including the reset notion itself. When you troubleshoot, not all items are necessary; stop at the first one that works. If none of them work, try them again. Maybe up to three times.
If you have the OS X install disc DVD, you may need to use it at some point, in troubleshooting or repair; since there also may be a problem with the hard disk drive or system startup files on it. The booted OS X install disc allows one to use OS X utilities, such as Disk Utility, to attempt repair; not limited to installations, the utility can attempt a repair on an unmounted system disk drive, thus booting Mac from the DVD.
Good luck & happy computing!

MacBook does not see internal hard disk

Sorry if this is already answered somewhere, but I have searched so many forums that my head is swimming!
My boyfriend connected a new USB drive to his MacBook, formatted the new disk, copied some backup data onto it. At some point, the MacBook hung, so he held down the power key until the MB turned off.
Each time we restart it now, we get the flashing-folder-with-question-mark, and Tiger won't boot.
I have tried almost all of the tips I can find, and was even willing to reinstall OS X, however... the MacBook does not appear to see it's internal hard disk. As such, I cannot perform first aid on the disk via booting to setup DVD, and I cannot reinstall OS X.
If I boot from the OS X install disk, and use Disk Utility, the MB only sees the CD-RW/DVD-RW drive and the install disc. No internal HD ever shows up.
Help! I am at a loss as to how to fix...

Let me guess: you're also experiencing a low clicking noise from the right side of your mac immediately after you turn it on, right? Same thing happened to me and others, in fact there are several threads on this subject already:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=960977&start=0&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5325539&#5325539
My drive was done for, and no data could be saved. I ended up buying a new drive, and now I'm just hoping the same thing doesn't happen again. I'm beginning to get a sense that this problem is occurring on a more frequent level now that the 1st generation macbooks have reached their 1-year birthday, give or take. Let's hope Appel fesses up if it is indeed a design flaw.
Anyway, you most likely need a new drive. I just got a Hitachi Travelstar 250 gb for around 200$US, so they're quite cheap, and VERY easy to install, just 3 screws, slide it in, boot up, run disk utility, erase/format and you're good to go.

Macbook does not shutdown

it's kind of weird that i often experience this, especially when i'm using wireless broadband: macbook does not shut down after i click shutdown..it just remain on with the desktop image on it, all other icons and the dock are gone though..i tried clicking the "command-option-esc" command to force quit it but still, it does not turn off..my only last recourse is to take off the battery so to shut it down..
pls help, i don't want to keep on doing this because it surely will affect either my battery or my hardware or, even worse, both..
and also, from the very start, after setting up my bluetooth in the systems preferences, it does not seem to work with any other bluetooth devices that i saved on it..

Hello coaobrien
Welcome To Apple Discussions
Follow "i love my macbo...s' advise.
And in the future don't take out the battery, try pressing down and hold the powerbutton for about 5-10sec. until the Macbook shuts down.
Another helpful tip... In the Mac world there really is no need to power-off your Mac unless you are upgrading and the OS requires it, or if yo are experiencing issues sometime a shutdown and power-up can clear issues and if your Mac is going to be away from AC power For awhile, like days, such as traveling. Then you may think about powering off. Other then that you really just need to shut the lid and let it sleep.

I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
And I'm not from USA

Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do. If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple). If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8. You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.
