Music CDS no longer read and DVDs work fine?

MAC NOW JUST EJECTS ALL MUSIC CD'S. DVD WILL PLAY BUT MUSIC WILL NOT. I'VE BEEN RIPPIN' MP3'S OFF OF THE DISK ON2 MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THEN NEXT THING I KNOW... IT STARTED SPITTIN' THEM BACK OUT. SOMETIMES IT WOULD DO IT 2 JUST 1 OR 2 AND I FIGURED THE DISK WAS MESSED UP OR SOMETHING. Please help

This is a hardware issue. Likely your optical drive has failed.   Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

  • CDs eject without playing but DVDs work fine.

    CDs eject without playing but DVDs work fine.  This is after installing Mavericks.

    Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • Superdrive: Cd reader and Burner works but DVD's won't read

    Hey, anyone have any ideas?
    My CD burner and player work great, I burn off of it all the time. However if I try to insert a DVD it makes noises, like it's trying to read but spits it back out. I tried resenting it but nothing is working.
    Anyone have any clue why one would work and the other wouldn't I thought they were one in the same?
    Thanks ANYTHING would be helpful

    I am having the same issue and it does notappear to be a software issues unless it is a firmware one....
    normal CDs enter the drive and mount just fine yet DVDs do not. The Dvds that I insert into the drive will not mount and the drive kicks them out a few seconds after I put them in. NOw this seems to only occor for movie DvDs, DvDs that have minor scratching, but are still readable in my MDD G4 desktop and certain commercial game disks.
    Only 2 possibilities come to mind: 1, a firmware issue yet it is fully upgraded; 2, a physical issue with the drive and movie DvDs being a slightly different physically then other ones (this is not likely but it is the only thing I can come up with.
    The discussion linked above does not pretain to this issue. as this is a more select issue that seems to be more hardware related than simple prefrences related.

  • Superdrive no longer reads data DVD's

    Since the upgrade to Leopard, I can no longer read any of my data dvd's.
    It reads cd's and music dvd's fine, but none of my data back up dvd's will read.
    After a minute of grinding, the icon appears, but if i try to read any of the content or copy any to the HDD, it grinds and grinds and pretty much crash's the machine.
    I have to close the lid on my 1ghz 17" laptop, and then unplug it, and pop the battery out. Then restart.
    It worked fine with Tiger, and my G5 reads the dvd's fine. So it is a software issue.

    This is a generalized “DVD reading problem under Leopard on Matshita DVD hardware” post. My apologies if it is in the wrong place, but you all seem to be closing in on my own problem.
    My PPC G4 running 10.4.11 reads/plays my audio CDs and my movie, data and OS installation DVDs with no problems. It has a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104 DVD reader. My (late 2006 white) iMac Core 2 Duo with a Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J DVD reader running 10.5.1 has SERIOUS problems.
    It reads/plays audio CDs but it clicks and thrashes around before finally ejecting most of my movie, data and OS installation DVDs as well. If I persist (repeatedly re-inserting the DVD) it may finally recognize it but most of the time it does not.
    I have tried going back to Tiger with my original grey installation discs but even when I can get them to be recognized there is no optional choice to archive my current system folders – its erase or nothing. Sigh. Something happened with DVD recognition/reading at 10.5.
    Any advice from the community would be most welcome. Apple techs - what are your thoughts?
    Thanks.

  • HT204406 I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens-how do I get it to download on my computer

    I purchased music on my iPad (and it works fine).  It populated my purchased list on my home computer but will not download (purchase is no longer a given option) ?? when I access it in the iTunes store I can click on play but nothing happens…how do I get it to download on my computer ?

    If you connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases then it should copy over to your iTunes library. Depending upon what country that you are in you might also be able to redownload it on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

  • I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

    Question
    I can no longer send or respond to email from my Firefox browser. I closed and sent from Internet explorer and it works fine. What changed? The only thing different this morning, I downloaded Adobe uprade?

    I had this hotmail issue myself a while back. I Googled, scanned MS website, scanned MSN website, visited forums, couldn't figure it out. I tried Firefox and Opera and even changed the Opera mask setting from Opera to Internet Explorer. Nothing worked. My best guess was that I was signing on (with the new MSN Live as opposed to MSN Hotmail - the OLD interface) with the "Remember me on this computer?" box checked. I now make sure it is un-checked (which is not the default) and hotmail lets me in.
    Not exactly sure if that is the real remedy, but thot I'd throw the story your way just in case...

  • My camera Canon G3 (i know it's old) no longer connects to iPhoto (8.1.2) on my iMac, I have checked with my friends iMac same model iPhoto version and it works fine using my cable, I would appreciate any help getting this sorted

    My camera Canon G3 (i know it's old) no longer connects to iPhoto (8.1.2) on my iMac, I have checked with my friends iMac same model iPhoto version and it works fine using my cable, I would appreciate any help getting this sorted

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Firefox will not display my photo website properly nor play the music from it on my new computer. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on those.

    Just set up a new PC and downloaded Firefox. It will not display my Zenfolio Photo website correctly nor will it play the music that accompanies the main page slideshow. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on them. All are Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Note that there is nothing wrong with setting Flash to "Ask to Activate" and click the Lego block icon on the Navigation Toolbar to activate the Flash plugin when needed.
    You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have once you have installed the plugin and checked the setting in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"

  • New project to DVD works fine, but sharing to a Blu ray fails, with a error message "video rendering error 60."  What is that and how do I fix it?

    getting an error message "video rendering error 60" when burning a new final cut pro project to Blu ray.  Burning to regular DVD works fine.  I have burned many other projects successfully to blu ray.  What is this message and how do I fix it?

    If this same timeline can be exported to other file formats and can be shared successfully to DVD, possibly it's the longer render time in the Blu Ray processing that is the problem. In the Finder in Applications, right click Final Cut Pro dot app, choose Get Info and verify that Prevent App Nap is checked. If it isn't, check it and try again.

  • Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine, but I have another machine with just "Reader" installed - is there als

    Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine. I am looking for the cheapest solution to get the stuff running on another machine... is there any way to do that with the Acrobat SDK, or do I need to purchase a full version of Acrobat XI ($$) ?

    The Acrobat SDK is nothing by itself. It is just information on how to automate Acrobat - just as the Office SDK doesn't include Office, but is for people who already have purchased Office but want to automate it.
    These automation things are MARKETING TOOLS FOR ACROBAT. Consider this and the technical limitations make a lot more sense.
    So, yes, you need to buy Acrobat. Standard is cheaper than Pro.

  • Lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    lightroom 5 on a Mac os 10.8.5 will not start. It fails to open. And it worked fine the other day.

    Reh... Doesn't work on my 2012 Mac mini. A function key set in Sys Prefs worked in Leopard and Lion on my MB but I cannot get any key to work using SysPref Dictation & Speech. It is befuddling and now I have to go to Edit-Speech to turn on and turn off speech to selected text.
    I have used Macs and Apple 2es since cave man days and Apple is becoming so befuddling I am wondering if there is even an advantage to it over Windows XP. I spent a lot on this little box, it looks good (the first one had to be exchanged as it wouldn't link to my keyboard ???) but Apple intuitive does no longer seem meaningful.
    If speech to text no longer is accessible by short cuts using Fkeys, why bother to have it in Syst Prefs?
    Apple is losing its way. The pleasure is gone and no one at Apple seems to care.
