Try it on a different computer to make sure it is not a problem with the optical drive?

Disc drive will not eject in Windows 7
I just upgraded from XP pro to Windows 7 home premium yesterday and it's all been working great save one little detail: my disc drive will not eject discs. I've tried the eject button (I'm on an aluminum macbook late 2008) as well as manually ejecting the discs from explorer. When I boot up in OSX I can eject discs fine. It's probably also important to note I'm using the bootcamp drivers that came with my 10.5.6 OSX installation disc, so I don't know if those are up to par for running Windows 7.
Any suggestions would be greatHi,
I have the same problem with windows 7 not ejecting discs (with macbook pro late 2008 with latest Bootcamp drivers installed).
At the moment I can eject the dics only by putting windows 7 to sleep (closing the lid) and on wake the disc ejects by pressing the normal Eject key.
Hope apple (or MS ??) will fix this...

Tools/Add-ons, then the page will not 'load' symbel just keeps going round
the Add-ons page will not load, it just goes round a long long time and will not open,
WinXP, Avira AV, Firefox 6By default the "Get Add-ons" tab is selected if you open the about:addons page (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons)<br />
That page tries to load content from the Mozilla server and that can take some time especially if the Mozilla servers are busy.<br />

You don't have to do anything. The other discs are for Premiere Elements and Apple computers.

Optical disc drive will not open
Hi there,
All of a sudden my disc drive will not open. Neither will it open when rebooting and ejecting it before windows has finished start-up. I've checked power cables etc. etc. I do see the drive in Windows Explorer, and there are no mentions of driver issues or whatsoever. Can anyone help?
product: hp pavilion p7 1040nl
operating system: windows 7
error message when trying to open drive in explorer (front button doesn't work): An error occurred while ejecting 'DVD/CD-RW drive'Open Device manager, expand DVD/CD-rom drives
right click on your dvd drive and select "uninstall", then reboot your PC, windows will reinstall the device, see if it opens now.
If it still will not eject, take a small paper clip that has been straigtened out and slide it in the eject hole on the drawer front, see if it will open this way, doing this will check to see if it is jammed. If it opens with the paper clip and the drawer works smoothly then there is something wrong with the drive itself and will need replaced -

Pioneer DVD -RW drive will not load CD/DVD media iMac Yosemite
I have a 20-inch, Early 2009 iMac that was recently updated with a SSD Drive and I ran all the installation media that cam with it originally.
I did update to the latest and greatest Mac OS Yosemite to recently discover that the Pioneer drive (see details below) will not load disks. Any disks. It makes that loading noise and it seems to struggle until it spits it out again.
I am pretty sure it worked since I have loaded Software from the Installation DVDs but I cannot confirm the if the problem started since Yosemite update. There may be a separate contributing factor, he is 2 year old and since he has seen Music CDs loaded there previously he was showing interest in poking thinks in the slot.
How can I identify the real problem? Is the drive faulty or is it some incompatibility with the system?

Safari will not load completely, just the top line
safari will not open completely, just the top line appears. I have an Imac oper at 10.5.8
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

Hello,
Today, I bought myself a Windows 7 64-bit Installation disk so I can put Windows 7 via Bootcamp. However, everytime I insert the disk, my iMac will make strange noises. For example; first it will try to load the disk but then shuts down. It will start up again but then fails again. This will happen for about 5 tries and then it will eject the disk out.
I have tested different types of CDs after this problem occurred and I have mixed results. I have tried my old Vista 32bit installation disk which had worked before perfectly but now it will not load. I tried my mother's Windows 7 disk and that doesn't work. I have tried a DVD movie (The Simpsons Movie first thing I saw) and that loaded fine. I tried my OSX Install disk and that loaded up fine.
Could this problem be fixed by myself easily or do I need to visit an Apple store/repair store and ask them about the issue? My warranty ran out around 2 years ago.
Here are my specs:
iMac Model: Mid 2010
Processor: Intel i3
Processor Speed: 3.06Ghz
Ram: 8GBThese are Bootcamp installation notes etc. Worth checking to confirm you have the correct version of Bootcamp for your computer and MS OS.

I have a macbook pro that's about two years old and having the functioning disc drive I paid for would be awesome. The drive rejects any disc I try to put in, is there a way to fix it? Or would it be smarter/cheaper to just buy an external drive?

Just got a new 30gb video ipod to replace my 4gb nano that didn't work. I am having the same problem, the driver won't load. I've tried everything posted. What else can I do? Is there something wrong with my computer (HP pavilion)?
HELP!!!This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
okay, let's try running through Mark's driver reinstall instructions again:
