My cd/dvd drive will not accept discs

Last night I was burning some music to a disc from itunes... the first disc worked fine, then on the second I received an error message and now ever since the drive will not accept a disc (I can pop it in and it makes some noise and then kicks it out) and ideas

hftvhftv, greetings;  Not at all.  One can utilize a lens cleaning DVD, shoot some compressed air in the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eye glass cleaning cloth)  around a stiff piece of paper or thin plastic and insert it gently inside the slot.  All of these techniques have had success in the past.
Ciao.

  • My CD/DVD drive will not eject disc

    I have just recently purchased a new Macbook and I had the system for less then a few hours and there was already a problem with the system. The only thing that I have done to it is run the system updates and install the new Leopard OS. Upon completing the installation the disc would not eject from the drive. I have tried all the ways possible to eject it, but every time it makes three clicking noises as if it is trying to eject then the disc just reloads. I have even gone so far as to bring it in for service where they just shipped it to Apple to fix it. They claimed that the bottom of the case was bent and that Apple replaced it therefore fixing the problem. To my dismay when I brought the system back home the problem was still there. Apple wants me to ship it back to them, but I was hoping that there is some unseen solution to my problem, because I'm getting really feed up with this because I have owned this product for almost 3 weeks now and still have not been able to use it. So any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

  • DVD drive will not take disc

    I know there are other threads about this, but it seems like my situation is a little different than others. My combo drive has worked fine since I bought my laptop. Now, of course, it stops working one month after my warranty expires. It just won't take my disc and there's no disc in the drive. I've tried all of the following:
    1) Resetting
    2) Resetting PRAM
    3) Resetting PMU
    4) Resetting Open Firmware
    None of these options worked. Is there anything else I can try, or do I have to shell out the money for Apple to fix it?

    I am having the same problem. If you hear get some advice that fixes the trick, I'd be grateful to hear from you. Thanks and good luck!

  • Combo Drive Problem: Not Accepting Discs

    Recently, I swapped out a broken Matshita drive.
    The new slot-loading optical drive will not accept discs.
    What confounds me is that the drive (seems to) show up in the System Profiler:
    MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8124:
    Firmware Revision: DZ13
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
    Media: No
    If it is a power connection issue, would the device appear in the System Profiler?
    Anyone have a theory?
    iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    John,
    I agree with JeremyP, it sounds like your combo drive has serious problems & needs to be replaced. My guess is misaligned laser. If you live near an Apple Store, take it there to have one of the geniuses look at it. I had to have mine replaced when it rejected more DVDs than it accepted. It's refusal to accept CDs was probably not far off.

  • DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

    HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there.  It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies.  I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive.  Computer is out of warranty.

    Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
    I'd recommend starting with this document:
        Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
    Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?  
    Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
    Let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • CD/DVD Drive will Not read CD/DVDs

    This desktop is only about 3 months old and so far has worked great!! But since last week for some reason the CD/DVD Drive will not read any disc. The tray will open but then nothing happens at all once a CD/DVD is in. Doesn't even sound like it is spinning. Any ideas?? Please help!! Thanks!!

    Also it is running Windows 8 and is a Ideacentre K410. And the CD/DVD Drive it is showing I have installed is TSSTCorpDVD-RW SH-216BB Not sure if that has always been the drive or not.

  • 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 CD/DVD drive will not open

    My CD/DVD drive will not open when I insert any type CD/DVD. The CD/DVD just runs but will not open.

    Try cleaning the lens:
    Use a DVD lens cleaning disk.
    Use a few shots of compressed air in the slot.
    Wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth?) around a business card and gently insert it in the slot.
    If no success, a trip to the genius bar at an Apple store is the best option.
    Ciao.

  • DVD Drive Will Not Eject

    The DVD Drive will not open with the keyboard eject button. The only way to open it is restart it and then put in appleoption+OF then type "eject cd" then type "Mac-boot" but there must be a simpler way to do this with out rebooting it every time you want to open the drive bay. The key board is brand new. I am using a IOgear Miniview III KVM switch. It works when you plug the keyboard in directly into the mac it works fine. Is there a KVM switch driver that is compatible with the Powermac G5 and a PC.

    Open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and enter "drutil eject" without the quote marks. If you need to use this command often, it can be made into a double-clickable application. To do this, open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder, paste the following in:
    do shell script "drutil eject"
    and save it as an application.
