My CD drive is not working and will not eject the DVD inside.

It is making a loud noise. I bought it in July 2013, is it covered under apple warranty?

  • My MacBook Pro will not boot. When I inserted the OSx installation DVD, there is no hard drive to select. I can't eject the DVD either. Do I need to reinstall the operating system? Please help!

    I forgot to mention that there is a grey screen on startup also a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the solutions offered on these forum pages. I cannot get past the disk utility screen.

    Regarding the DVD in the optical drive:

    The MBP cannot find the OSX, and either the HDD or connector has failed.  If you can get the installation DVD to work, start the installation process and when the menu bar appears on the display, select 'Utilities'.  From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair'.  If unsuccessful, a new HDD is in your future.
    If you cannot get the DVD to function, then a trip to an Apple store is your best option.

  • My Unused SuperDrive does not work? It keeps ejecting the DVDs.

    Hey everyone!
    This is my first question on Apple Support Communites and I'm really happy!
    I have bought a MacBook Pro and I have owned it since Dec. 31, 2013, and I am so glad! This was a second hand computer bought from a friend.
    I bought this very computer for My SuperDrive, as I knew they were being phased out.
    I put a CD in - and my Mac just spit it out.
    It makes some noises as if the computer is going to read it, but it doesn't. Every Disc just ejects.
    This works for all CDs alike: DVDs, Blank CDs, Audio CDs, You name it!
    I really need my SuperDrive Working but it really isn't.
    Note that the previous owner has NEVER USED IT and I also NEVER USED IT.
    My Mac came with an installation disc for Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and I'm presuming that the Optical Drive was only used to install OS X.
    This is my very first Apple Product so I don't really know much at all.
    I called Apple and they told me to press a few buttons but that didn't work.
    The Apple Employee told me that it SHOULDN'T Be failing as it is a relatively new machine.
    I cleaned it out but I think that it is a Software Problem with OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
    Note: I am currently using 10.9.1 but will update to 10.9.2 when I have access to my Mac.
    The Reason I say that it is a software problem because the DVD Playback file found in the folder: /System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/DVDPlayback
    Says Modified 23 Oct 2013, which was when Mavericks was released. Maybe I could get a hold of the original file to reverse the effect.
    I would downgrade to Snow Leopard, but my SuperDrive isn't working :'(
    Just so you guys know: My MacBook is an Early 2011 13.3" MacBook Pro.
    I am also experiencing other difficulties but I won't get into them now.
    I live in Australia and I am 14 years old. Sorry if I don't know much about Macs yet (but I guess I know quite a bit about Normal Computers).
    Thanks for bearing with my long rant!

    Omi Jack,
    It may be that the SuperDrive lens is simply dirty. You can test this out by purchasing an inexpensive DVD/CD cleaning ket - readily available from most electronics stores.
    If that doesn't 'fix' the problem, it may be that the SuperDrive simply isn't functioning. You could purchase a replacement for it and install it yourself. I don't know Australian websites that specialize in Mac parts, but you can shop at the US website OWC and I kow that they ship internationally. You may also want to use their live chat and see if they know of a vendor in Australia that would have new SuperDrives in stock.
    Try the cleaning method first. You could also take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP an get a diagnosis and estimate for repair from them but I would look into replacing it yourself first.
    OWC also have videos that show you how to replace the SuperDrive in your particular model.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • DVD drive does not burn the DVD but prompts the mysterious 0x8002006D error

    I read the earlier threads about the mysterious 0x8002006D error.
    Then went to look at the console and the DiskRecording log reads:
    Finder: Burn sense: 3/73/03 Medium Error, Power calibration area error
    Finder: Burn error: 0x8002006D The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
    Can anyone tell what this could mean? Is the drive old and tired? I have the latest possible update for this Powerbook G4 1,25 GHz that I can use. What is meant by the latest firmware - where can I check which is the latest firmware for this particular DVD/CD superdrive ...
    I am not trying to use the impossible, the G4 only supports DVD-R and with the speed up to 2x, so it is getting difficult to find suitable DVDs for this. The better MacBook is being serviced, as it has a screen problem, only after 1 year of use!
    Please, can anyone help me, my works do not make any progres and I am in trouble!
    I would be grateful for

    Actually, I found out that for this particular PowerBook model there is no further firmware upgrade for the SuperDrive, only for the models starting from 1.5 GHz. Obviously all I can do is downgrade my OS to the version, which I suspect was the one that still supported my SuperDrive to see, whether it is the Drive that has died or whether it is the conflict with the upgrades and the hardware.

  • 「Display driver has stopped working and recovered successfully」

    I have a MSI GS60 2PC GHOST laptop.
    Graphic Driver: Intel HD Graphics 4600
    When I was playing a game on my laptop, it suddenly lagged or the game screen turned black, then recover, turned black then recover... multiple times and each time I get a message saying that the "display driver has stopped working and recovered successfully" on the bottom right.
    I have tried updating the graphic driver and it worked for about an hour or so, and the problem came back.
    Need help in solving this problem!

    Does this happen when you run the game by using dGPU(NVIDIA graphics) or iGPU(Intel graphics)?
    (Check the color of your power button light, it lights red when dGPU is running and blue when iGPU is running)
    Does this happen on all games you play or just one single game?
    Tell your current graphics driver version(both NVIDIA and Intel graphics driver).
    If you're running the game with NVIDIA graphics, check your vbios version in NVIDIA control panel(Right click on the desktop> NVIDIA Control Panel> System Information>Video BIOS). There is version 80.04.EF.00.22 released on the MSI website, and if you have a different one, I'd suggested to update the VBIOS and see if the problem still remains.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open  > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
    If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

  • Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

    Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore.  I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

    Hey dbwithers,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:
