My cd/dvd drive does not play cd. it starts playing the cd and stop. but it plays dvd . does any

I use this hp pavilion a6200n with vista home premuim 32-bit. I had to take it to geek squad last year because windows could not load at all. now I have the same problem i was having last year, which is crashing al the times and freezing. On top of that, the cd/dvd drive can no longer play cd. can anyone help? oh, let me mention that I tried to use the recovery discs i got from hp to to bring the pc back to factory image, but I keep receiving the error message : system recovery cannot be performed with this disc.

Hi,
Try starting the recovery from the hard drive. HP may have shipped you the wrong recovery disks.

All of my songs now last for one minute thrifty seconds. Most start at the beginning and stop at 90 seconds, a few start in the middle - but total play time is always 1:30. What's wrong?

All of my songs , when played, now last for exactly one minute thirty seconds. Most start from the beginning and cut off at 90 seconds, some start in the middle. What's wrong?

It appears that iOS 7.1 fixed this.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Satellite A40-151 DVD drive will not play DVDs

hi my dvd drive will play music cd's but when i try to play a dvd it just makes a beep and nothing happens i tried windvd and it comes on but everything is blurred and still wont play a dvd

Hello John
Please dont be mad on me but in your posting there is no question or something just small report that DVD drive will not play DVDs.
Anyway, if I am remembering well your unit is about 2 years old and has probably DVD-CDRW (Combo) drive. In my opinion there is no much to do. If the drive has problem with original DVDs I presume that there is laser calibrations problem and the device must be replaced.
I dont know how old is your unit exactly but please check if the warranty is still valid. If yes contact service partner in your country immediately. The drive should be replaced for free. If not you must replaced it on your own. If the drive replacement costs too much I recommend you to use external device (I do it with my old Satellite). On this way I can use newest and very fast super multi DL devices and also create own DVDs.
You can also try to find already used DVD/CD-RW drive and replace it alone. If you need assistance by replacement please write again.
Once again, dont be mad on me. I am ready to write my opinion but it is really annoying when someone write just one sentence and nothing more.
Good luck!

My USB Super Drive will not Play Red Box DVDs, Why?

Can anyone explain why my USB super drive will not play RedBox DVDs?

What Mac are you using with the USB SuperDrive?
Is this USB SuperDrive a third party drive or Apple's USB SuperDrive?
If this optical drive is Apple's own external USB SuperDrive, this only works with newer Macs that have no built-in optical drive any longer and WILL NOT work with older Macs that came with built-in optical drives.
Is the Red Box DVD a standard DVD or Blu-Ray DVD disc?

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

I bought a movie on iTunes and it plays half the movie and stops. I can not get it to play after it stops. What can I do to get it to play the rest of the movie?

Hi, Jjenjen30.
Thanks for the question and I believe we have a solution. The best option would be to delete the movie that is giving you an issue and redownload it via the iTunes store past purchase option. I have included a couple articles that will show you how to process these steps.

If this does not resolve the issue, then iTunes might need to be notified to let them know there is a problem with the content. I have included the steps on how to let them know.

It's possible that the pages you are attempting to open simply won't work with that old web browser.
If you're using Mac OS X Tiger, update to the latest version, which is 10.4.11. (You might be using that already. Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, but I bet that's just a typo.)
Then get the latest version of Safari that will run on Tiger. (And... you have that already: 4.1.3.)
You might try a more modern browser designed specifically for your current OS. That would be TenFourFox.

My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD. I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual. Help?

My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD. I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual. Help? It is her computer, a iMac G3 or G4 with superdrive, the one with the ball shaped base. Thank you.

It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip. Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.

I attempted to download a song. It originally did not download correctly. I refreshed the download and it supposedly completed. Upon playing the song in both my library and on the Itunes store it will not play past the first 5 seconds. How can I fix this?

Hello Whitney262,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I would go ahead and make sure you can first download the content, then remove the song from your iTunes Library, and download again from your iTunes past purchases. The article below will walk you through the entire process:

I cannot play a song I purchased. The message says the computer is not authorized. I deauthorized and reauthorized it and it still will not work. Should i delete the song and download it again?

Yes ... if just one song on an album is doing that, it usually means you've got a damaged file on your hands.

I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.
