My cd rom drive is not showing up, my dvd is. but its not reading any new discs i put in the drive.

I was having problems and on the support page it said to uninstall the driver and then reinstall. the support page said that i would have to restart my PC and then the found new hardware would come up....That never happened. please tell me what i did wrong

Touchsmart PCs only have one drive, it would show as a DVD not a CD in device manager.

  • HT201272 My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem?

    My audio books are not showing up in purchase history, but everything else is okay... is anyone having the same problem? I have already authorised my new computer and I am currently downloading my purchased music and videos however the books (audiobooks) are not showing for download.
    Hope someone can help!

    "My audio books are not showing up in purchase history,"
    That is correct.  You cannot redownload audiobooks.
    " is anyone having the same problem?"
    Everyone and it is not a problem.  Audiobooks simply are not available for redownload.

  • Windows based WD external hard drive not showing up in Disk Utility to reformat to Mac... how can I erase the drive

    We have a WD external harddrive previously used with a PC that we want to completely erase and reformat for use with our iMac desktop for use with Time Machine.  The drive shows up on the desktop of the Mac, but it does not show up in Disk Utlity, assuming because it's Windows format.  Outside of the standard "erase" feature in Disk Utility, is there any way to reformat this drive for Mac OS X?  Or how can I get this drive to show up in Disk Utility?  Note: The drive functions properly, has power, and we are able to view its current contents through the desktop icon, so it is a working drive.  And we are ok with losing all the current data on the drive.

    Hmm strange, I had just moved my external Lacie drive from my windows machine to my iMac and it was showing up in disk utility still formatted fat32 or whatever. I would disconnect the drive and restart the machine then replug the drive and try again.
    Also not that it will make a difference ( I dont think it will but hey why not ) try accessing disk utility from the install disk?

    If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
    Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
    Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
    Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
    All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

  • Purchased songs show up on my ipod but will not play!

    I am about ready to drive over my ipod with a car! I have the 80GB ipod and it was working fine until recently. For whatever reason, songs that I had previously (as in months ago) purchased on itunes show up on my ipod, but do not play. All other songs (ones that I downloaded from cd's) show up and play. I have tried everything I can think of but it still won't get them to play! HELP!

    See this.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

    Hey corky60,
    I'd go ahead and give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:
    1. Try the iPod troubleshooting assistant:
    2. Restart the iPod Service
    3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Change your iPod's drive letter
    7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
    8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
    9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
    10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
    You can read more about each step in detail in this article:

  • How should i save a mp3 song so that i can add to itune library? i keep coping to library but its not showing up

    how to save mp3 song and then transfer to itune library? i keep coping to library but its not showing up

    Download it to your computer and make sure you know where the file is.
    Right-click the file, choose Properties and look at the General tab. Make sure the "Type of file" is "MPEG Layer 3 audio file" and that the "Size" is at least several MB.
    Are we good so far?
    If so, find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (which is inside the iTunes Media folder) and drag your MP3 into it.

    You have no choice but to lose your data back to the last backup you made.
    Here's how to do the recovery.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once to succeed:

    I'm sure next time, you'll be more vigilant about keeping current backups.

  • HT201272 I pre ordered Avicii's album, it says purchased but not showing up in my purchased folder and not allowing me to download. Just says purchased

    As I said I pre-ordered the album, however I had already bought the two songs (Wake Me Up and You Make Me).When the preorder went through in the first place, it was not showing up as a download, it showed up as an iCloud download. I thought it was weird however I still went forward and downloaded it. Wasn't a huge deal but the two singles werent showing up as part of the album, they were the singles. That bugged me so I thought deleting them all and re downloading them would work and I would have the whole album instead of a part album and two singles. However, now in iTunes it says that the album (True) is purchased and there is no way of re-downloading. It is not showing up as a purchase anywhere else though... I've gone to the iTunes front page, went to the purchased tabs and it says the last purchased song was "Skip to the Good Bit" by Rizzle Kicks (good song btw). On my iPod there it is not in recently listened to or added< almost no record that I've bought these songs. I would even re-purchase. I wouldn't entirely want to, but thats not even an option...

    Hi there MeganElizabeth02061999,
    You may want to check your past purchases and see if you can find the tracks there. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • I tries to backed up and storage on iCloud but its just shows down below "Estimating time remaining" but theres no time remaining !!! And i connect to the Wifi already and i buy a storage capacity !!! But its not backing so what should i do in that case !

    I tries to backed up and storage on iCloud but its just shows down below "Estimating time remaining" but theres no time remaining !!! And i connect to the Wifi already and i buy a storage capacity !!! But its not backing so what should i do in that case !!!?    

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
