MBP superdrive does not accept commercial audio cds

Hi people,
My superdrive mostly does not accept commercial audio cds when i keep on trying it accepts them sometimes but you cannot say under which circumstances.
I already tried to resolve this with a "reset -all" in the single user mode but this just lead to acceptance of the first inserted audio cd afterwards it was problematic again to load audio cds.
Does anybody know something that helps to make the drive reliably accept all cds of this kind?
THANKS

Yep, to me this is an issue with your optical drive.
Contact Apple (in the USA call 800-275-2273 for other locations check [this list|http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html]) or carry it in to an Apple retail store for repairs. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first or you may wait a long time to talk to a Mac Genius. Tell them what has been done and get it repaired.
Best of luck.

  • New MBP Superdrive does not burn DL DVD - I'm taking it to Apple today

    My two-week old MBP is wonderful. Except for the inability to burn double layer DVDs. I took the advice of the Apple salespersons and bought DVDs at another store. They said these would work. Out of the first four attempts BURN did make two DVDs of my pictures. Then errored out on the next eight attempts. So I have an appointment at the Apple store later today. I will keep you posted.

    I'm at the Apple Store Genius Bar right now. Bottom line seems clear that I purchased a bad batch of Memorex DVDs. Two of mine failed and two of theirs worked. Same brand, etc. Oh well. Guess I'll buy Verbatim next.

  • 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.

  • USB Mac drive FileVault encrypted - does not accepted the Password

    Hello,
    I've got the following problem:
    I bought an external USB hard disk (Seagate GoFlex 320GB) and configured it on my iMac (3.4GHZ, 16 GB Ram) with  Mac OS Extended (Journaled, encrypted), formatted it & did a partition layout.
    This hard disk worked without any problems on iMac, MBP and MB Air. I could copy data onto it and access it without problems. Unfortunately, last week, I connected this USB hard disk to my MBP (Generation 2012 with Mac OS Lion 10.4.7) - and the MBP crashed totally and I had to fully reboot it.  Since this coincident I can't access my USB hard disk  --> it does not accept/ take my password anymore - no matter where I connect & try (iMac, MBP, MB Air…)
    In short words - the MAC's recognize the USB disk & the "enter password" sign appears on the screen - I then enter the correct password (no doubt!)  - but the USB hard disk does not accept it & in the disk utilities program I can't make any changes either (no removal of the password, no changes of the password, no decryption,…etc.)
    As the data on this USB hard drive are extremely important (I need them more than urgent!) - could you please help me with a solution to this issue?
    thanks

    This knowledge base article gives info on resetting the password.

  • Superdrive does not burn Cd-"checking media"

    In the past couple of weeks, I would burn a CD with iTunes 7.0.1 and then any other blank CD I insert would just keep spinning and iTunes would report "checking media". Sometimes the blank CD would be rejected. Each day I can burn a CD and then after that I can't burn a CD until I restart.
    I have been able to burn DVD's without any problems.
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This is what I have so far. When I am able to burn
    an audio CD with iTunes, the CD text does not show
    up, just Track #s.
    That is normal. iTunes does not handle CD Text.
    Otherwise, I get the message of
    "Checking media" and the drive keeps spinning.
    Have you tried different media, such as Verbatim.
    I quit iTunes and used Toast to burn a data file. That
    was okay. But when I tried to burn 2 songs from the
    iTunes library with Toast, the burn went okay, but
    the song titles were incorrect.
    Also normal. Song titles are not stored on audio CDs. iTunes get the song titles from an online database of CDs. The CD is identified by the lengths of all the songs on the disc. If you burn only part of a CD, it will not find the correct song titles.
    I also used Disk
    Utilities to burn a data file and that went okay.
    Data disk are burned with a directory of file names, so do not have the song name problems of audio CDs.
    Should iTunes be re-loaded?
    No. I think your only problem is bad media.

  • My tv does not accept the connector that my apple tv has

    my tv does not accept the connector that my apple tv , what can I do?

    You'd need to look for an HDMI to RCA adapter of some kind - as the RCA connectors are generally for standard definition video and stereo audio, the picture quality may not be great as AppleTV really expects an HD TV of 720p or more.  You would have more issues if the TV is not widescreen as well.
    I can't really recommend an adapter for those connections as I've never used one.  The annoyance with HDMI is despite offering good quality, adapters are frowned upon by the media 'industry' who don't want anyone being able to record/copy via analogue connections.
    I'd maybe look on Amazon in your country or e-bay for something, but as I say you can't guarantee it would work.
    The AppleTV 1 had analogue connections but that was component video (as well as HDMI) not really composite (yellow RCA) though some reported some kind of 'hack' that allowed one of the component RCA connections to output composite signal.  That model is discontinued and really doesn't support many of the newer features.
    Current AppleTVs are not an ideal mix with modern TVs I'm afraid.   You may not want a new TV but rather than trying to find an adapter it might be worth considering an entry level HDMI TV as they are far cheaper these days.

    What model MBP do you have? What OS are you trying to install? And, from where?

  • GB won't open- This is what I get... Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser

    Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index  st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser.  Then I get this message...
    Instrument Library Invalid
    GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
    Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
    Any solutions?

    Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
    Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
    The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library. 
    Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
    Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
    And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
    If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup-  If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
    What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?
    Regards

  • Error on start: Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

    I get the error "Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
    Without this directory you can not use the LoopBrowser. Please make sure this directory exists" when starting Garage Band. I also cannot use the onscreen keyboard, or musical typing in GarageBand. All other sounds work fine.
    The only thing that changed since I last used GB was that I installed Leopard. (and that was a while ago, so I thought all was well and got rid of my last Tiger backup. )
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hello farahani hairon nizar,
    If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.
