My CD Rom, DVD Drive says "Disc is full when it's brand new.

I have downloaded burner software. Autoplay does not show. My CD Rom/DVD drive will read a disc but will not format or burn a disc. A new disc will show as full or no disc. I'm using Windows 7 Professional as my OS. and I have downloaded A Shampoo, burnaware free and expressburn software.

What type of DVD are you attempting to burn: DVD -R or DVD +R? Some burners will accept either format but some are type specific. Try using the other format (-R if currently using +R; +R if currently using -R) and see if that helps...

CD ROM / DVD Drive not recognised and virus on computer

Can anybody help please?
My CD ROM / DVD Drive has failed. I have tried troubleshooting etc but to no avail. The computer does not recognise I have a cd rom / dvd drive as it says it is not recognised by the registry?
I also have a virus I cannot get rid of, this may be part of the problem (Trojan-Spy.HTML.Smitfraud.c) I have run numerous virus, spyware and trojan checks but there is no cure yet?
I tried system recovery but it will not let me recover to a previous date.
I cannot use my recovery disc because the computer does not recognise the drive. A catch 22 situation.
Can anyone offer any advice other than throw it out of the window?
Help from anyone would be much appreciated.

HI Paul,
I think your first priority will be to remove the virus from your notebook. The following link contains details of the virus :-

Is you CD-ROM shown in the BIOS ? If so then set it to be the first selectable boot device and you should then be able to load your recovery disk and reboot from it.

Can't insert a CD/DVD into the disc drive. Recently installed a new harddrive, and the CD/DVD drive hardware is no longer recognized. Also, with new harddrive, OS was updated from Snow Leopard to Mt. Lion 10.8.5 on late 2007 MBP.

Also, when I check out the hardware list, under Disc Burning - the following is reported: No disc burning device was found. If the device is external, make sure it’s connected and turned on.
The disc drive worked fine prior to the HD upgrade and OS update to Mt. Lion.

After installing Quicktime CD-ROM/DVD drive doesn't work.

We use Quicktime to view files created by agencies. After installing Quicktime 7.1 the CD-ROM/DVD drive on the IBM thinkpad no longer works.
error - This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
The only way to resolve this issue is to edit the registry and remove the Upper and Lower filters.
Why does this happen? Can you please let me know if this will be amended soon, and is there a way of installing the software to stop this from happening?
IBM Thinkpad Windows 2000

Last night I had the same problem. Tried to upgrade and got the version with Itunes to see what it was. After reboot, Both physical drives and a vertual drive now have the yellow mark. This program should not have touched device drivers. Uninstalled both quicktime and Itunes and rebooted. Same thing. Reinstalled Quicktime. Same thing. Ran reg mechanic. it said 2 dlls where missing:
PxSFS.DLL
pxwma.dll
These don't seem to be device drivers, so should not have had an effect, but I replaced them which made reg mechanic happy. Problem is still there.
In Event viewer for application I now have this error at each reboot:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( IDriverT ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: Service started.
For System Event I have this at each reboot because the cdroms are disabled:
The Cdralw2k service failed to start due to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
Looking through this thread it looks like just other users replying. Where is Apple? they created this mess.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions,
Did you get the flash drive from a reliable source. There are some available on the net that show a large capacity but are only 512 mb. or 1 gb. drives that have been altered to display a much larger capacity.
Good luck,

Exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" disc is full"

when exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" disc is full" It is a new mac with 2gb extra memory. I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc. Help, this is a student''s work and would love to help them burn the dvd slideshow.

IS this your Hard Disk is full?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of HD space to function normally. It uses this space for things like Virtual Memory and temporary files and other OS operations.
I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc
How did you do this? Did you empty the trash?

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting dvd, I have a macbook PRo

My dvd drive makes an awful noise when inserting a dvd. Does that means it needs to be replaced?

It's more like a grinding sound. I was trying to convert the dvd with Mpeg Streamclip when it started , After that I tried with Handbrakes and got the same sound. I gave it a rest and inserted another dvd and it was fine. Now I don't know what to do, looks like the drive is ok..

Hi, ive been backing up my computer to an external hard drive (with time machine). When i buy a new macbook will that hard drive put all my info on to the new computer?

When you boot the new machine for the first time, you'll be prompted to import your data from a Time Machine backup.

Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when trying to export when their not ?

Hi
Final cut pro x keeps on saying files are full when i'm trying to export when they are not full and also what setting do i export them on for a small quicktime?

The preset that will give you the smallest file is email and you will have 3 choices of size. Not sure what you consider small, but also take a look at Apple Device.
Your error message is Files are Full or DIsk is Full? Will need more info about your system specs, the format of the clips you're using and your project settings.

IPod classic won't restore. Claims disc is full when it is empty.

Because of my previously spoken about problem, I decided to do an iPod restore after backuping everything on the iPod onto my harddrive.
But iTunes won't let me, claiming that the disc is full when in fact it is not.

Hey Mieczysław Bukowski,
Thanks for the question and detailed information. It may be best to troubleshoot the error code you are receiving. To do so, see the steps in this resource:
iPod: Can't restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439

DVD drive says disk is blank

DVD drive something wrong, I suppose. You may be better off making Genius Bar appointment or Authorised Service Centre to repair.
Or get external DVD drive.

Help - DVD drive eating discs

I'm sick over this. Have seldom used the DVD drive on my iMac 17" FP--so it should be in excellent condition, but today, when trying to play an audio CD, the drive literally ate the disc. It made a ferocious rasping sound. I ejected the media. The bottom had been so severely abraded it looked as if it had been spun on a lathe.
No, this machine is no longer under warranty. I dare not imagine how much Apple would charge to fix it.
How can I repair this? Is it even possible? Might I be better off attaching an external DVD drive via FireWire?
Appreciate hearing from you,
JLS

xfm,
I too have the exact same error messages, but with a UJ-846 drive and Verbatim DVD-R 100-pack spindles.
My drive reads CD/DVDs OK, no problem, but gives problems when I put in a blank disc. I had this problem a few weeks ago with CDs as well, but then opened up the Mac mini and 'cleaned' the Superdrive with some compressed air, and that seem to have sorted the problem then.
Today though, for some reason NOTHING works, I even left the Mac mini 'naked' (without casing) while trying ten times and blowing air in between each time.
I have two batches of Verbatim DVD-R (100packs) bought in two different stores about a month or so apart, and one batch of CD-Rs that are yet another make. All of them with the same problem.
I think this is a hardware problems and it absolutely stinks that it only happens after the Apple warranty has expired. I've done about a 100+ disks on the Mac mini, which in my mind is hardly any at all, so it can't be 'worn out'.
Any ideas, or anyone with leverage at Apple that can kick some a*s
PS. I also have a MacBook Pro C2D with a busted spindle in the SuperDrive (UJ-857D), so me no like SuperDrives very much.

My iMac's DVD drive launches discs across the room when I eject them.

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem, and also, if anyone might have a solution for it.
As of recently, [I don't know the exact date that the problem began, but it's been awhile], whenever I eject a DVD from my iMac's DVD drive [by either ejecting it in Finder, or by pressing the keyboard's Eject button], instead of just coming out halfway like it used to, the drive now launches the DVD across the room.
I'm starting to get annoyed by this problem, especially when I burn something and am not around to catch the disc when it comes flying out, and later find it lying on the floor in the corner of my room.
So does anybody know if there is anything that I can do about this?.
I did that online-chat thing on Apple's website, and the guy told me that I have to bring it in to a service centre, and then disconnected.
I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
Also, I don't even know of any [or if there even ARE any] that are in Montreal, Quebec, [which is where I live].
Oh, and I bought an AppleCare Protection Plan with the iMac when I bought it last January [2005].
Soooo... Does that do anything for me?.
Thanks so much!.
-Steven.

20" 1.8gHz iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) The DVD drive is a Matshita UJ-825 DVD-R drive.

Hi Steven,
I had the same thing happening with mine. When I was on with Apple Care, they asked me if I would be willing to send them my computer in exchange for a new one (refurbished). It turned out they new about the problem & are trying to figure it out with computers that are actually experiencing the issue. This was just a couple of weeks ago, so you might call & check about it. They cover all shipping costs.
Good luck
