Mackbook air superdrive WONT READ CD-R WITH PHOTO'S ON

I Have a Macbook Air superdrive but it will not open CD-R with photo's on to my Macbook Air note book

Look in System Preferences > CDs & DVDs > review actions.
Also to show on desktop in Finder, on the menubar, Finder > Preferences > General tab > check CDs & DVDs.

Superdrive wont read discs anymore

My superdrive was working perfectly fine, I used it for hours which i think might be a part of my problem but suddenly after inserting a disc it stopped responding, the disc still spins around and makes noises and seems like its working but nothing shows up on my desktop. after a long time maybe 5 mins or so it says that the cd is blank and asks me how i want to continue!!!! CD i inserted is not blank! PLLLZZ HELP MMEEE

I have always had a Mac Mini desktop. I had 3 Superdrives just quit working or have issues over the years. I could plug in an external DVD drive and the disk and other functions would work fine. But the internal drive would not read the disk! My MacBook would read the disk with the internal drive, but not the MacMini. I have upgraded my MacMini and there is no superdrive, so I connected an external unit and I have not had any problems. My MacBook internal drive has never had problems and it's at least 6 yrs old now.
For some reason, I just never had those superdrives work for very long in the MacMini desktop. If out of warranty, the least expensive way to go is to buy an external drive and see if that works for you. OWC, which carries a lot of Mac related stuff, has some at reasonable prices, fast shipping and they are a reliable company. No, I don't work there.
Btw, I never found any workarounds. Once they started messing up, they only got worse.
Oops, I meant to reply to OP! But, now I can't find a way to change that. Sorry.

Superdrive wont read ANYTHING!

I just bought my mini yesterday and the superdrive has already stopped working. In the beginning it was fine until i put in a DVD and started to copy some files, it had a problem copying one file and then the screen froze. After that i had to restart and eject the disk. I tried putting all sorts of disks in, even the mighty mouse installation got ejected. What should i do?

I have tried Sony, Verbatim, and Philips...I thought of that too...also I mixed up with +r, and -r...no changes...but Thx...!

Superdrive wont read

My disk drive quit working today. I tried to burn a cd and a couple error messages popped up, and now when i try to insert any cd it will spin in the drive and then eject it. any suggestions?

To Apple Discussions.
If you've also tried the DVD troubleshooting solutions in the OS Help Menu then, I'm sorry to tell you that you have no alternative but to take your computer to your local AASP.

SuperDrive wont read disc

Whenever I insert a disc it will immediately eject it. I've tried to update the software via the utilities folder, that keeps giving me an error message "There was an error installing this update. Quit all open applications and try updating again. If the problem continues, contact Apple support." Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Same problem.. after the Firmware update, I can read only the official audio cd...
All my movie DVD doesn't work and it is impossible to writ any disk...
All @#ªΩ for simple noise...
I think that i will bring my computer to apple for fix it. Hopfully it is under waranty!
I'm already watching and asking for serval forum and people... and it's look like if I downgrade by myself my computer it will not be under waranty longer...
I will tcheque for sevral days more any way.. if i see something I will keep you in touch. :-s

Would Lightroom 6 be able to read and work with photos in a Lightroom CC catalog should I decide someday to cancel my subscription at some time in the future?

I will download and use Lightroom CC but want to know what my options will be should I someday cancel the CC subscription.
I know that simply cancelling the subscription would mean that one no longer has access to the Develop module. Could a person cancel the subscription, purchase the stand-alone program and continue to have full access to the photos in the catalog including edits?

Depends what you mean by "in"!! I know the photos are in the folders that I have created.
Thanks for the fast answer.

Import contact with photo from google

How Do I import contact with photos from google to iCloud?
I uses iPhone6 , 6+ , iPad Air all iOS8.1 and Mac Air Yosemite
I uses google contact with photo all but I need to export all contacts to iCloud but after I imported the photo not have any more. How should I do to import all contact with photo from google?

The thumbnailPhoto attribute is for an octet string, so I can see why that would not work as it should be essentially a byte array (or a binary blob holding the JPG/GIF), and that is what is expected when importing that attribute.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

Macbook air superdrive compatible with macbook pro

i have the macbook pro laptop. is the macbook air superdrive compatible with this? iam using a external drive atm but it was not an apple product. my computer has been upgraded this is the reason for the external drive. can anyone advise?
thanx Tracy Ann

Actually there is nothing different from the Apple Super drive to any other DVD drive made for notebook computers.
Any external DVD drive will work with a Macbook Pro.

MacBook Air Superdrive?? Does it work with MacBook Pro

Hello,
I need an external Superdrive. Does the MacBook Air Superdrive work with MacBook Pro??

No, it does not (at least, not without opening the drive and modifying the internal components).
External optical drives from Sony and LaCie work well with the MBP. Here's ONE EXAMPLE, here's ANOTHER EXAMPLE, both from Amazon.

Can I use the MacBook Air Superdrive as an external CD reader?

Simply put my MBP's optical drive is shot and I don't have the £200 odd that is needed to repair it. So for now I've considered an external option and was told that I could use the MBA superdrive. However on plugging in, nothing happened, attempted to put in the disc and it was like there was no power in it.
Does anyone know whether it can be used as an external option or is the MBP finicky and will only read one drive at a time?

No, the Air Superdrive will not work for you. Sigh, i could have saved you the trouble of wasting money.
What you need, and what would work better is a Lacie Portable Firewire DVD+/-RW drive, which only costs £99 (including VAT or £85.02 ex. VAT, i assume you are in the U.K), and plus it also comes bundled with Toast 8 Titanium.
Go here and check it out http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=10985 .

Can I use the macbook air superdrive with my non server mac mini?

I recently removed the optical super drive from my early 2009 mac mini to switch to a 2 HD setup. I have an opportunity to get a macbook air superdrive (external) for a really good deal, but I am unsure whether or not it will work. The specs say that it will work with a min that has no optical drive, but does it matter if I removed the drive myself instead of buying the server version of the mini?

Ahhh, you did not say that you don't have one yet. Perhaps you should csll an Apple vendor in your area and ask. Although it is supposed to work with a Mini, I don't know about a Mini from 2009 since the optical drive was not released until the 2010 MBA came out, I believe.

HT2801 Can I use the MacBook Air superdrive with my MacBook Pro?

Can I use the MacBook Air superdrive with another Mac, such as a MacBook Pro?

No, it only works with the MBair and the Mac Mini.

Have you tested external Air Superdrive with Powerbook via a USB hub?

Have you tried plugging the Air Superdrive into their Powerbook via a powered USB hub? It seems the testing I've read with non-Air Macs has been just direct into the USB ports instead of via a powered hub. Can't a high-powered USB hub make up for the difference in power necessary to sufficiently drive the Superdrive? Does anyone know how the output of the Air's USB 2.0 port compares with that in a Powerbook G4?
Thanks

It has been reported outside these Apple forums that merely supplying more power to the MBA SuperDrive (in any of several ways) doesn't make it work with other machines. I've seen one website describing a hardware modification inside the SuperDrive's case (invalidating the warranty, of course) that was successful in enabling other machines to recognize and use it. It wouldn't be within the Terms of Use for these Discussions to say any more than that here; even saying that much may be going too far.
