My cd player on my apple will not accept the blank disc to burn it keeps spitting it out

My imac
cd payer will not accept a blank cd -r to burn music it keeps spitting it out

Typically this occurs if the CD/DVD drive has been captured by a virtual machine, such as VMWare Fusion or Parallels.  If you have a virtual machine, then either close it, or disconnect the CD/DVD drive from that machine.
If that fails, try my other solution:
Subject:   Blank CD/DVD Not Recognized by Mac OSX
Problem:  Inserting a blank CD/DVD does not automatically launch the preferred application.  The report indicates "unrecognized format"
Solution:  Deleted the WDNotifier.app from the "Macintosh HD - Library - Startupitems" folder, then re-start Mac OSX.
Analysis:  WD Notifier is capturing the blank CD/DVD status and blocking it from being reported to Mac OSX.  This appears to be a Western Digital bug in their app.

  • PLEASE HELP. my 2007 macbook will not accept the reinstall disc mac os x 10.4.9 after i erased everything.  the screen is grey with a flashing folder with ? on it.  what can i do to fix it?

    i erased everything from my macbook and try to reinstall the MAC os x 10.4.9.  but now when i restart my computer the screen is grey with a file folder marked with a "?" flashing.  when the dics is already already inserted and i restart it, regardless if i hold down the "c" or "d" key with rebooting, the disc is automatically ejected and then it goes back to the grey screen with the flashing "? folder".  
    if i was to try and reinstall the "for mac computers" os x 10.5.4 the computer will load the disc and bring me to the language select menu but as soon as i click the "next" button it tells me that the software is not able to be installed on that computer.
    i have no clue what to do.  the computer was working COMPLETELY fine before i erased something.

    Yikes, what happens or shows if you hold the Option or alt key on bootup?
    The 10.5.4 Disc at least sounds like a Gray Machine specific Disk, or wrong Partition Scheme!???
    Does that one allow Disk Utility to run?
    Did you Erase to GUID?

  • My Iphone will not accept the Apple airport express as the Wi fi network so I can facetime, how do I fix?

    My Iphone (I have a 4s and 3G) will not accept the apple airport express as the wi fi network so that I can face time. How do I resolve this?

    What are the exact specifications of the wireless network you've created? (If you're not sure, open Airport Utility on your computer and check the Radio Mode in the Wireless tab). Bear in mind:
    - iPhones earlier than the iPhone 4 cannot connect to an "n-only" network - they need b/g compatibility.
    - No iPhone can connect to a 5GHz network (Compatibility mode will also fix this).

    Off the top I dont thing its good practice to post an email address here
    I dont see how a google password change would impact on ur Apple ID/iTunes account
    Have u access to the old email address? If not and you fail the apple security process then you need to call them
    Have u tried  to manage ur apple id from :  appleid.apple.com

    Hello buddyacw
    You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

  • I have the right serial number to install arabic onto Ai, but the installer will not accept the serial number

    I have the right serial number to install arabic onto Ai, but the installer will not accept the serial number

    I'm also getting the "invalid serial number", but I'm wanting to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.1.4 to take advantage of HDV 720p/24 support. Is the 5.1.4 update even an option still? I really don't want to be forced to upgrade to FCS2 and shell out $500, just to get this one feature that was included in a patch.
    I went to the Registration page and it actually allowed me to register the serial number... (which I'm pretty sure I already had), but it still won't let me in to download any updates. Also, the email confirmation that was supposed to be sent has not arrived 20+ minutes later.
    Very strange. I called Apple support and they estimated a wait time of 15 mins... ugh.
    Anyone have other suggestions?

  • WET54G v3.1 Will not accept the default password for web setup

    The setup:
    1 2WIRE wireless router for AT&T DSL connection
    1 wireless laptop, online and good to go
    1 desktop, too far from router to connect with an ethernet cable, this computer does not have wi-fi
    1 new WET54G v3.1, trying to setup as a wireless-ethernet bridge to get the wired desktop on the network and online
    I have set up the desktop with static IP: 192.168.1.1; Subnet 255.255.255.0; Gateway 192.168.1.226.  The WET54G is directly connected to the desktop.  I open Internet Explorer and go to 192.168.1.226.  After entering the password "admin" and leaving the username blank, the login prompt simply reappears as if the password is incorrect.  I have reset the WET54G to factory defaults numerous times (held the reset button for over 30 seconds).  It simply will not accept the password.
    Any suggestions?  I tried live chat but the chat window was so slow and buggy that both times it seemed we were about to make progress the window would freeze up or refresh entirely and disconnect me.  Extremely frustrating to say the least.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hi brickmonkey, 
    Sorry for taking so long to get back on this.  We left for a long vacation and I got ridiculously busy when we got back.  ANyway I just spent some time working on this and wanted to report back.  Still didn't get it to work.
    Got into the 2Wire and wrote down it's settings:
    Router Address: 192.168.1.254
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway: (???) I did not see this under the summary page, but it was on the internet connection details page., it's a 151.x.x.x number, which the WET54G was not happy to accept as the default gateway.  It gave me the error "DUT and Gateway cannot locate in different subnet."  Also, on that internet connection details page, an additional subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 was listed, but I'm guessing 255.255.255.0 is the correct one to use, right?
    Because it wouldn't accept that 151.x.x.x address, I can't get any farther.  I did notice when setting up the SSID and security to match that of the 2WIRE, the channel was fixed at 6 and the dropdown was disabled.  I changed the 2WIRE from 1 to 6 in case that was an issue.  The WET54G is in Infrastructure mode, as the guide you linked to indicated.
    Any thoughts with this new info?
    Thanks again for your help with this,
    Sean

    we have 2 itouchs, we a separate itunes account for each one. We have one home computer to use them both on for sync and icloud, the icloud will not accept the 2 accounts?

    Do you know what happens if you delete the icloud account from an iphone 4s?  Will it delete the pictures, documents, etc. from the phone, or just unlink the icloud from the phone?  I want to associate a different icloud account to the phone.
