My cd slot is not reading the cd

my cd slot is not reading the cd I put in and spits it back out after a gfew seconds and it used to work fine. I have an imac 21 inches

Your CD/DVD player uses a laser beam that is focused on the disc by a lens, one for CDs and one for DVDs. If this lens accumulates dust the beam will be diffused or incorrectly focused, and the player won't function correctly.
At your local computer store or an office supply store, you can buy a cleaning disc that incorporates a number of minute brushes. Load this disc into your player and follow the instructions for cleaning. The process will take only a minute or so.

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
(What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

As I can sometimes do, I did not read the directions before delving into LR. Now I find my self with image history in LR on 2 or 3 of my HD's. I would like to now consolidate it on one HD but fear in doing so I will lose the images I have created within

I would like to now consolidate it on one HD but fear in doing so I will lose the images I have created within LR. Is there a tutorio or some other way to get me back on track with this application?

Your image history (if I understand you properly) is stored in your catalog file, and nowhere else, and so it is only on a single drive.
Do you mean you have edited photos on multiple drives? This isn't a problem for Lightroom at all, the software doesn't care, and you can leave things just the way they are. But if it bothers you for some reason, you can move the photos to a single drive if you want. In Lightroom select the desired photos or folders (it's easier to do this using Folders) and drag them to the desired drive.
Alternative if you will be moving lots of folders: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

Help required please. "Itunes can not read the contents of my iphone"

Greetings all,
I know this question has been asked before and I apologize for asking again but all the solutions provided don't seam to work for me, can anyone help me please.
I am receving the message: "Itunes can not read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab In iPhone Preferences and click restore torestore this Iphone to factory settings".
Now a little about my iphone, Itunes and my laptop and what steps i havealready tried.
I have an iPhone 4 running software 5.0
My itunes version is 10.5.0.142
I know these are not the most up to date versions but I have had this issue for almost 3 months now and updating the software back then was the first step I tried. I don’t believe updating to the latest will fix this issue as updating the last two times did nothing.
Every so often after starting Itunes, The program will stop responding and will require the three finger death kill (CTRL, ALT, DELETE) to open task manager to end the task of Itunes. Once it shuts down, I restart the iTunes and it runs smoothly, apart from not reading my iPhone.
When I run a diagnostic in itunes under the help tab, I get these fail messages:
Network Connectivity test: Secure link to Itunes store fail
Device connectivity test: Under support services: Itunes helper is not running. And under ports: No iPod, iPhone or iPad found.
Device Sync test: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found.
*See below for full diagnostic report*
I have restored back to factory settings twice.
I have shut down and restarted both my iPhone and laptop.
I am running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop.
I am using ZoneAlarm as my fire wall, and have been disabling it when syncing my iPhone to prevent other error messages.
The iPhone is plugged into a genuine Iphone USB cable and is plugged into a USB port not a USB hub on my laptop, I have tried plugging it into all 4 USB ports and this issue still persist. The Cable is less then 5 months old, is not frayed or damaged in any way, have also borrowed 2 other cables from friends and still the same issue.
The iPhone does not even come up in windows explorer as a digital camera.
The iPhone is NOT jailbroken
I do not live close to a so called genius bar, however I have made the journey to them on 3 separate occasions last year when I first received my iPhone for a different issue, the so called genius's could not fix the problem so they just gave me a new (refurbished) iPhone, which did not extend my warranty. I will not be taking the iPhone back to them as I believe they can not resolve many issues, this is why I am reaching out to the power of the people in the wider apple community.
I have read in other forums about ifunbox and other programs for jail broken iPhones to isolate folders “iTunesDB” and "iTunesCDB" and delete them. If this is the issue is there a way to access these files through windows explorer as my iphone is not jailbroken.
I hope I have provided enough information and someone can help me fix this issue. If I have left anything out, please let me know. I thank everyone in advance for your patience and support.
Thanks

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Itunes will not read the ripped CD

My hard drive crashed. With a new drive,I have now imported all my previously saved music into my Itunes library perfectly. Now, after having ripped a dozen full CD's, the new music has been loaded and can be played, but itunes will not read the titles, artist or the CD title. Only my past music is labeled.

hi Patricia!
sounds like the new configuration isn't performing Gracenote queries properly. let's try checking through a few of the usual suspects:

So the CS4 will never be able to open Raw 5D Mark III files.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

Purchase CS6 full version (CS4 is too old to qualify for an upgrade)

Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

I cannot open some files from Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

Eliana,
If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the second one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

BB Curve 9220 not reading the memory card

Hello,
I have a Blackberry Curve 9220
v7.1.0.746 , Platform 9.50.0.80
1 week ago I was using this phone and that time i didnt have a memory card in this device. I opened wechat and it showed either to insert memory card or to disable usb mass storage in this device. I didnt have a memory card that time, so, i tried todisable the usb mass storage and I did that.
Today, I inserted a memory card in this device, it shows that "Media Card is presently not inserted in this device"
When I searched the internet I got some solutions. They showed that to enable mass storage mode and check media card support on.
I turned Media Support set to ON.
I have made sure that the media card is formatted and inserted properly.
BUT
When i pressed the option (BB Logo key) button , it didnt show the option to enable usb mass storage. It just showed these options : "Switch app" ,"Select Text" , "Save" , "Help" , "Close".
There is no option to enable usb mass storage and it is not reading the memory card
Please tell me what to do !
Thankyou

Hi Manabb04
Enable or disable USB mass storage mode
If you connect your BlackBerry smartphone to your computer using a USB cable but does not appear as a drive on your computer, you may need to activate the USB mass storage.
On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
Click Device> Storage.
Press  > Enable USB mass storage.
If necessary, type the password for the smartphone.
Your smartphone appears as a drive on your computer.
To disable USB mass storage mode, press  > Disconnect.

"could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand the file."

"could not read the file because the plug-in could not understand the file."
I keep getting this error when trying to open some of my illustrator files. Usually after trying 5 or 6 time it will mysteriously open without a problem. I've reinstalled Illustrator and that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 and that didn't work.
Why does it sometimes open and sometimes not???
I've lost I don't know how many hours screwing around with this and REALLY pissing me off!!!
AURGH!

I think this has something to do with the PNG plugin.

Windows error message "Setup could not read the CD you inserted..."

I partitioned my Macbook HD using bootcamp assistant and allowed 32GB for the partition. Then I tried installing windows using the assistant. I only get as far as verifying the windows CD (not far as which file system to use FAT32 or NTFS). Then I receive the error message, "Setup could not read the CD you inserted, or the CD is not a vaild windows CD." I am using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 version - not an upgrade. Also I tried booting up straight to the CD but that did not help either. Any suggestions?

Please disregard my question. Although my Windows XP Pro documentation and folder did not say upgrade I just looked at the CD for the tenth time and just saw Upgrade printed on the CD. I'm not making excuses but the holographic images make the CD a little hard to read. Sorry for the trouble. I guess I will be going out and buying the full version now.

My cd slot is not reading the cd
