My cd drive dosen't work

so basically what happens is, that i put a cd in, it takes the cd i can hear some noises, then it makes a buzzing type of noise. then pauses, makes the buzzing noise again, then pauses and makes the buzzing noise for the third time and then spits the cd out. no screen pops up saying any error or anything. i've tryed multiple cds, and even a brand new one, none of them work, they all have had the same results. it used to play cds right away when i got it, it played like a total of 4 cds and now it dosen't play any. so any light u can shine on this dark situation will be much appreciates.

Hello!
I have one of the original MacBook Pros. My optical drive has been choosy from the beginning. 10 CD's or DVD's will work fine and then the next one won't work. I've put up with it until today when I unwrapped a brand new CD and my drive spun it up 2 or 3 times and then spit it out. I've checked and there doesn't seem to be a fix other than to take it in to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized repair center and have them swap out the optical drive.
It seems that this is a very common problem among those of us who bought some of the first MacBook Pros. So common, in fact, that I think Apple (or Matsushita) should perform a recall on all these drives.
I drove an hour and a half to my nearest Apple Store only to find out it would take 5-7 days for it to be repaired. Since it is my work machine, I can't be without it for that long.
Hey Apple! Why don't you take care of us "early adopters" who believe in your product enough to buy the first generation. It is obvious that this is a widespread problem. There was another guy at the Apple store in Atlanta tonight with the exact same problem with his MacBook Pro. I've been an Apple user for 15+ years and this is the first machine I've had problems with. And this is the second problem I've had with this machine! My original battery died before there was a recall. My warranty had expired so I bought my first Apple Care warranty and now I'm glad I did.

Hi
Well, it seems that drive has a malfunction.
You can try to boot from the recovery CD and try to install the OS again. Maybe it helps.
If not so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba service partner in your country.
It sounds like you notebook is covered by warranty so I think all replacements will be done for free.

Windows 8 HP TouchSmart IQ510la Wrong Monitor Detection and TouchScreen Dosen't Work

Greetings;
Well i've finally managed (trought a complicated and unnecessarily complicated process) to install Windows 8 Pro, and it worked (Not completly im trying to solve so many issues, somebody made a serious mistake when it said Win8 will work well with my TouchSmart) but now one of the many problems i have is that my touch screen dosen't work. Also when i go to Device Manager on Windows 8 the monitor is listed as PnP Generic and that shouldn't be, i have alredy checked on the forums and tryied every solution for these problems, my graphic card drivers are updated, but i haven't been able to download any drivers from HP driver page for my model for Windows 8, so i wished to ask a few questions:
¿Is HP or Windows working on this issues?
¿Is there a solution for this issues? and if yes ¿Where? if no then the question before applies.
¿Is there a work around this? and if yes ¿Where? if no then the first question applies.
Also i think i should provide this
Model: IQ510la
Serial#: {Removed for privacy}
Product#: FK963AA - ABM
Thanks in advance

How do i get itunes to display my library (which is on an external hard drive)? It worked OK on old PC, but not new my new laptop. They are M4A files. are

My itunes library used to be on a PC - but shortly before the PC went to PC heaven I transferred the library onto an external hard drive. It worked fine. Now I have a laptop - but I can't get itunes to pick up the library location. I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display. I have tried holding down shift when starting itunes - but when I do that it looks for *.itl files, and all my files are M4A files. What do I do next?

You mean you transferred the media, not the library...
Now I have a laptop - but I can't get itunes to pick up the library location
The library location is in your /Music/ oflder.
Your media files (not yet in your new iTunes library ) is on the external drive.
I have changed in advance preferences, but the library does not display.
Because you have not yet added anything to your library.
Quit iTunes.
On the external, create a new folder named My iTunes library (or something).
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library... and select My iTunes library on the external.
Go into Windows Explorer and move all the media files on the external into /My iTunes Llibrary/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes/ folder.

Satellite A60-652: ati2dvag driver has stopped working

Hello,
Recently I have some problems with my graphics. My satellite freezes up, and goes to a low resolution with a few colours. A message says the ati2dvag driver has stopped working. After rebooting the satellite shows a blue screen and reboots...same thing happens. Only shutting down and retrying after a few minutes gets me back to normal Windows.
I tried to look for some new drivers, but I can't indicate my model (SA60-652)... is this model too old for updates???
Toshiba SA60-652
ATI MOBILITY RADION 7000 IGP
ati2dvag driver (6.14.10.6430)
Windows XP (SP2)
AVG virus scan
Hitman Pro anti-spyware
ATI hydravision installed but never used :-/
Notebook recently has been rising in temperature...I will deal with this after my final thesis (8 may)
Please can you help me?
If you can, please be clear in instructions, 'caus I don't know a lot about computers... (PEBCAC)
Thanks!

Thank you for this answer,
I found the driver myself, uninstalled the old one and installed the new one (same driver, so actually just a reinstallation).
I use the programm Speedfan to monitor my cpu-temp, and I noticed a few months ago that temperature stayed between 60 and 70 degrees. Now my laptop is easily rising to temperatures of about 87 degrees. Think this is the answer... The notebook even completely stopped working suddenly a few weeks ago, due to high temp. I will look into it to clean the fans and stuff. Guess I'll find some more info on that on other forumthreads.
Thank you for your help

Satellite P300: Display Driver has stopped working using external monitor

I have a number of these Satellite P300 PSPCCA-OC201Y and recently bought external monitors for them.
Since then we seem to be getting "Display Driver has stopped working and has recovered" messages, then after about 5 of these, it crashes.
Starting with one machine, I have updated display drivers, bios was current, all to no avail.
I then did a complete system restore back to original. Has not solved the problem.
Any ideas?

hi Keven Dickenson,
as you said you restored the system and still there is no way to get things work it may be a hardware issue...
i my opinion you should consult a servicepartner to check this out...
is there any of the machines working with the external monitor at all?
if none of them is able to connect to ext. display maybe your installation has a problem or the monitor is faulty...
try it with another monitor and recover one system to factory installation....

Hi,
the problem whit NI 9223 module and the example that you talk about is know. Indeed, there is a CAR - Corrective Action Request - #30724 that deals with the erroneous implementation of the example.
To improve the code, the owner of CAR, suggest:
Added pipelining loops and removed from FPGA VI to Increase maximum acquisition rate and modified host VI to implement proper DMA FIFO programming practices.
I try to implement and improve the code. Bye

My external hard drive has stopped working on my MacBook Pro

Hi guys,
So my hard drive, which was working earlier today, no longer registers when I plug it into my Mac. It flashes once and then stops, and it does not appear anywhere on my laptop. It still works in other laptops so I know it is not dead and other USB drives etc still register on my laptop.
I have read through the other discussions but nothing quite fits my situation. If anyone has any sort of information or advice that may help, I would very much appreciate it! Thank you.

Basically my external hard drive would not eject so i force quit it and the hard drive does not come up at all anywhere on my mac pro OS X version 10.9.4 and it isn't visible in disk utilities no and it doesn't say format either and i have tried it on a windows computer it does not show on their either. the format is Fatdos i think so i can use it on windows and mac and i cant see anything in system reports and yes it is connect by a USB. also it isn't making any noises either

My computers hard drive has stoped working, how can I retrieve my Itunes library from my computer?

My computers hard drive has stoped working. How can I retrieve my itunes library? My back ups were on this hard drive as well.
When I brought my computer to be fixed they said they would retrieve photos and music and documents but loose my programs. That being said I am not sure if I will recover my music from itunes because it may fall under the program category. I support itunes by purchasing from itunes, but now i am in a position where i may loose years of purchassing music and it has me feeling a little bit sick to be honest...the stress this is causing is really big. DÙoes anyone have any experience with this type of problem?
Help is appreciated, thank you.

If the data is recoverable from the drive then they should have recovered the entire iTunes folder which includes the library database. Restore this into the <User's Music> folder of a replacement system, install iTunes, and it should be as before.

What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive
Microsoft Fix-it
Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
System Restore
Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
System Recovery
If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
Contact Customer Support
If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

See this Microsoft article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us For ways to fix manually

My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.
