ML dvd won't eject after use

This issue has been happening ever since I upgraded to ML.
I insert a DVD and after I use the drive for any purpose then try to eject the disc it will not eject unless I reboot the machine. I have tried everyway there is to eject and the OS responds as if it did but it doesn't eject. I can't remount it either. The other thing to note is when this has happend Disc Utilitiy won't run at all.
I am on the latest ML version.
Thank you!

This didn't help. My issue is I can't eject the DVD after it's use without rebooting so I am not sure what repairing volumes would do for that. I did try it thought on every volume but it operates the same.

  • DVD won't eject after installation

    I have just installed elements 11 and premier elements 11 and installation seemed to go OK.  After installation the DVD door won't open to retreive the DVD.  I have never had this happen before.  Any suggestions?

    Restart the computer and remove the discs.

  • DVDs won't mount after Security Update 2006-004

    DVDs won't mount after installing Security Update 2006-004 via the Software Updater in OS 10.3.9. CDs work OK.
    I've repaired permissions, reset PRAM, tried booting in OS 9.2.2 but can't get the DVDs to mount/play or be seen by disk utility.
    Please help.

    Thanks

    How recently before installing the Security Update did you use the DVD drive (for DVDs)? If it was not immediately before the update, the two are probably not related. Also, if you restarted in Mac OS 9 and the DVD drive still does not work, it would seem to indicate the problem is hardware, not software.
    You can try opening up the iMac and checking the connections to the DVD drive. Also, it is possible that your PRAM battery is dying (unless you have replaced it recently); that can cause unexpected problems.

  • Won't read DVD, won't eject it either

    Just got a new refurbished macbook, and whenever i put in a DVD the DVD doesn't show up on the screen, and it only plays after a few minutes. It is also difficult to eject the DVD and won't until after several tries

    It reads and burns CD's and CD-R's no problem. It will read and play any DVD-R that was NOT burned using iDVD. (A standalone DVD recorder) I just burned a quick test DVD-R with iDVD 5.0.1. Interesting that it plays fine in both the imac; PC and a conventional home DVD player.
    However, any DVD-R that was burned on the imac using iDVD PRIOR to Tiger will NOT read. (the imac claims it is blank)- I have trouble shooted it to be a Tiger and/or idvd 5.0.1 problem with DVD-R media. In summary, everything burns and reads EXCEPT for DVD-R media created with iDVD AFTER Tiger. I can play on the imac a DVD-R burned with iDVD after Tiger.
    DVD-Rs created not using Tiger that were burned two years ago on a standalone machine play fine. So this seems to be a post Tiger issue with DVD-R media. Pretty crazy stuff.

  • DVD won't eject and MacBook pro 2,16 new

    On a new Macbook pro 2,16 last generation the Disk won't eject, I have tried F12 and start but won't come out, anybody had the same problem the MAC try to eject the DVD but it won't come out

    I would like to share with you my experience.
    Only 2 hours after buying the MBP, I decided to re-install all the system to save space inHDD.
    The second disk was stuck, I tried to pull it out without success.
    I tried to see whet happened and i concluded that the CD hit the top of the slot.
    So I decided to push with my thumb, reasonnably on the right hand side part of the computer (close to the trackpad) to move down the SuperDrive...An it worked.
    I have to mention that I trid to find in the NET what was the fittings condition of the SD, and I knew there was some degree of feedom verticaly. I assumed it was just a matter of few millimeters.

  • Problem: DVD won't loop after burning in iDVD '08

    I need help.
    I made a slideshow in Keynote '08 and sent it directly to iDVD (iLife'08) for burning. I wanted to burn it to DVD and have it show continuously (loop) at a kiosk.
    I selected the presentation and had set iDVD (Advance Menu) to "Loop". The loop icon showed up on the "map menu" for the selected presentation.
    As I read in other forums, I also set the "button" for Play Movie with a TRANSITION.
    After burning and playing it on two DVD players, the DVD won't automatically loop. It just freezes after it completes one play.
    I also did the "REPEAT" button on the DVD Player Remote and still won't loop.
    I went back to iDVD and removed the Loop option and burned DVD. I was hoping that I can play it back with just setting the DVD player itself to REPEAT disc. Again, the DVD won't repeat or loop.
    I also converted the keynote presentation to quicktime first then moved it to iDVD for conversion and burning to DVD. The results are the same above.
    I need to know if there is a step I am missing or a procedure not followed properly.
    Thanks in advance!

    Check these instructions from iDVD Help to see if you missed anything.
    +_Here are ways to turn looping on or off_:+
    +Double-click a slideshow button on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor. Click the Settings button and select the “Loop slideshow” checkbox.+
    +Select a slideshow icon in map view, and then press Command-I to open the Slideshow Info window. Select the “Loop Slideshow” checkbox, and then close the window.+
    +Click a movie or slideshow button on the DVD menu, or a movie, slideshow, or autoplay movie icon in map view, to select it, and then choose Advanced > Loop Movie or Loop Slideshow.+
    +When looping is turned on, a checkmark appears next to the command in the menu. To turn off looping, select it again to remove the checkmark.+
    +To turn looping off for a background movie on a menu, open the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (but with no buttons or text items selected), press Command-I. Move the Loop Duration slider to zero.+
    If you have followed these directions and are still having the same problem, give this basic remedy a try. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    Do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
    If the problem persists, do the following for troubleshooting purposes. While working on your project in iDVD, create a disk image. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed on your computer's DVD player. You will be able to see just how your project will work when viewed on a regular DVD player. You will be able to catch errors and correct them before burning and possibly wasting a disk. If the disk image plays correctly, then you know that the encoding is being done correctly. This would point to problems with the burn process. If there are problems with the disk image, then the issue is with encoding.
    I hope this helps.

  • Aperture library won't open after using new iphoto

    My Aperture library won't open after accidently using iphoto to view it. It says Aperture is outdated but I run 3.4.5 version which is the last.
    Now I CAN'T DO MY WORK thanks to this lunacy.
    Anyone any suggestions how to fix this ****?

    Also one more thing
    On the MacBook Air - Where aperture is working fine and loading the library, i tried to change the name of the library and then when I tried to open it it shouted with the error ""Error Opening Library--The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again""
    But when I changed the name back it was working fine again on the MacBook AIr
    Should i be worried that when i look at the get info on my library it says it's an aperture library 3.5.1 ?

  • JPopupMenu won't disappear after using it!

    I'm using a JPopupMenu on a JTable. When I rightclick on a line in my table, I display a dialogbox to make some selections which you can close by clicking an OK button. The problem is, that when I close the dialog box the JPopupMenu won't go away. More exact: Parts of it persist on the screen, but it is more like a background image, since it then is no longer functional (menu items are not highlighted etc.). Does anybody know a workaround to this problem why the pop up menu doesn't go away after using it?

    Have you tried firepopupMenuCacelled() ??
    This is a method of JPopupmenu that notifies listeners that it hacs been cancelled.... ??
    Or maybe a mouse removed listener event to close the JPopupMenu... ??

  • Leopard DVD won't boot after bad install

    I ran the leopard installation yesterday and I realized that i needed to do some more work on the drive before i installed, so i clicke cancel and restarted the computer. Now the dvd won't boot. I installed tiger again(came with laptop) and tried doing various other things with the disk. Almost any ntensive use of the disk (booting from it, trying to clone it, etc.) will result in the superdrive powering up and then down repeatedly, sans result. I left the leopard dvd to boot for hours and when it tries it gets to the grey logo and the drive does that power up/down cycle endlessly. I can boot from ubuntu's disk and the tiger disk that came with my computer. The disk mounts to the desktop, btw, and i can browse the files and everything. Apple support was no help.

    I've been doing some work with the disk. I did another attempt at creating a dmg from it and got the same result, so I googled the error which led me to a thread on this site with a similar issue. The error was input/output error. They found that it was due to a corrupt file... so I did a cp -r of the disk and it said that a few files did not exist:
    cp -r "Mac OS X Install DVD" /Users/mattebooks/Desktop/Leopard
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.5.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.1.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
    So I set Finder to show hidden files and went to these files libpython and libpython2.5 are aliases of libpython2 and libpython2 is an alias of a file in a non-existing folder. A little more digging and I find out that the python, ruby, tcl and tk framework folders are all missing, all from the same folder... interesting. Maybe I could add the files in and reburn the disk. My guess is that the loader looks for these files repeatedly. The path to the files is /System/Library/Frameworks/... If anyone could email these to me I could try and rebuild the disk...

  • My dvd won't eject

    I bought my desktop 27 inch mac last year and haven't had any problems.  however, suddenly when I put in a dvd, i get a message that the disc is not supported.  Mind you, I'm inserting dvd's from Netflix and legit manufacturers. Today, I tried to circumvent the problem by opening dvd player before inserting the disc only to get the same message; and now the disc won't eject via the player, or via the keyboard.  I'm stumped.

    Hi, orange07 -
    Don't know about the DVD not working. But, to eject it try this:
    Restart. Immediately press the left mouse button, keep it held down. This is a hardware-based instruction to the Mac to eject all removable media.

  • TC Won't Eject After Backup

    My TC has always performed flawlessly. Recently I have noticed the backup desktop image does not eject after the backup is complete. I have to manually eject it under Finder. Any thoughts on this?

    There is nothing wrong with this. Mine does the same thing occasionally.

  • Blang DVD won't eject

    While I was playing using VMWare Fusion I have inserted a blank DVD in the drive. I have a Macbook 1,3 running Leopard. I guess because playing with Fusion the DVD drive was not mounted either in Mac OS neither in Ubuntu (running inside VMWare Fusion). I cannot eject the DVD anymore. I have tried:
    - to press the trackpad button pressed while booting
    - reset the PRAM (Command - Option - P - R)
    - reset the PMU (remove the power cord and the battery and keep the power button on for 10s)
    - I have even tried to boot into single user mode (Command - S) and after performing:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    /sbin/SystemStarter
    it just hangs and could see the messages:
    IOATAController device bocking bus
    and the prompt is not returned.
    My Macbook boots but it takes a loooong... time to boot now.
    The System Profiler shows the DVD drive as being OK.
    What should I do to remove the drive? This is a blank DVD, I don't care to damage it, just I want to eject it somehow...
    Please help!
    Thanks
    Codrut

    I don't know why, after resetting the PRAM, PMU several times I managed to eject the CD by pressing the trackpad (mouse) button. Now drutil can see the drive:

  • IPhoto library DVD won't open after installing iLife '06

    Apple Care recently prompted me to erase and reinstall. After doing so, I installed iLife '06. My iPhoto library was backed up to a DVD. How do I now import those photos into my new iPhoto? When I insert the DVD, I get the message "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto - You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." Now what?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iLife '06

    Hey. Thanks for all your help. Got 6.0.4 and was able to import my photos. Had to KEEP the existing library AND create a new library using my backup, then import. Crazy. Yeah!

  • SSD won't boot after using Win 7 recovery discs

    Hi, I bought a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB for my HP Pavilion dv7-4012eg which had a 1TB hard drive (same size).
    I took off the original hard drive and attached the SSD on the primary slot, leaving the original hard drive unattached until I configure everything with the new one not to confuse things.
    I had burned the 6 recovery DVDs from my HP and had used them before on the original hard drive without any problems.
    So I did the procure I am used to, and after the 6 DVDs the recovery said the laptop was going to restart to install and configure the OS. But when I restart it says there's no bootable device, that I should insert one.
    I inserted the DVDs again and went through the whole process again just in case, but still got the same no bootable device message.
    I installed Ubuntu and it was very successful, and I can boot Ubuntu fine. When I try to boot the Windows partition now it starts something but says something like that the installation was not finished.
    I also have my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OA HP license readable under my laptop, so I tried to download the Win7 from the Microsoft Software Recovery but it says to contact HP because the Windows was pre-installed on my laptop.
    What can I do? Any ideas why I got the no bootable device error after going through the 6 recovery DVDs?
    Cheers.

    Hi @jessymeyer ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a  superb  place to find answers and tips!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you are replacing the hard drive in your Pavilion dv7-4012e with a SSD.  You were able to do the recovery but when it went to reboot you got the error no bootable device found.
    Did you change the boot order in the bios back to the HDD first?
    You could also try restoring the defaults in the bios so that it will scan for hardware and find the new hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • Burned DVD won't work after DVD player 4.6.1

    I made a DVD of my daughter's wedding two days ago and it played fine on my iMac G5. Yesterday I updated the DVD player with the DVD 4.6.1 update and now I can't get my DVD to show up on the desktop or play in the DVD player. Any thoughts?
    ds

    I also trashed the iDVD plist to see if that will speed up my DVD burning.
    Ain't gonna' happen. You should create a disk image and then burn DVDs.
    File/Save As Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Disk Utility to burn the DVD.
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and Tiger.
    b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
