My drive wont read disks after update to 10.6.3

Hey.
After I update my MacBook Pro Uni fall 08 to Mac OS 10.6.3 my drive no longer wants to read cds nor dvds, well it sounds like the drive tries to read the disk, but it just enters a infinite loop, anyone who knows what to do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The first thing to try is to run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it to see if there's a speck of dust or dirt on the lens that's causing read/calibration problems - it's surprising how often this simple process can resolve things ...

Wont read sim after update

iphone 4 wont read a sim card after updateing to ios 6 plus

Okay - if the phone was an AT&T one & has an AT&T SIM in it, try reseating the SIM as outlined here.
What message do you see on the iPhone's screen?
You may want to take it to an AT&T store and get the SIM replaced, just in case your current one has issues.

Screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7, cant play games anymore

Help my screen wont tilt anymore after updated to iso7. When playing a game the person wont move when i tilt to left or right. ive unlocked the portrait and still wont work.
Nothing tilts when i trun phone side ways. any help would be great
Cheers

Maybe, maybe not. Most games now require an Intel processor, but:
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Ipad air wont turn on after update today?

ipad wont turn on after update today. cannot do a hard reset either...
tried holding the power and home at the same time, still won't turn on suggestions?

How long did you hold the power and home buttons? You need to do that for about 30 seconds, sometimes even more before the apple logo appears.

Hello Alfster76, Did you uninstall the DVD drive in the Control Panel, Device Manager, then reboot the system and see if it finds new hardware and installs the drivers for it?
Sometimes this works. If not, you might check the data and the power cables going to the DVD drive, just to insure they are properly connected.
If this does not resolve the issue, the DVD drive may have become faulty.

My iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

my iphone4 wont turn on after updating to ios5

Hi
Sounds like it's broken in a potentially major way after the drop. You really should take it to your nearest Apple Store/Apple Authorised Repair Centre a diagnosis and quote.
Can't think of anything else any of us on this user-to-user forum can do for you?
HTH?

D drive wont read my CS2 disc

My D drive wont read mt Cs2 disc. It says there is no disc in the drive, but ive tried it on other comps and it works. I tried burning the disc and that didnt work and i have no ext hard drive. anything suggestions?

Assuming the cd you burned was intended as a backup of your original Adobe CS2 disc, perhaps you didn't finalize it when you burned it. Use the original disc instead. If you don't have an original disc, you might consider that this forum is sponsored by Adobe.

MacBook Pro 17"... JUST REPAIRED VIA APPLE STORE ...CD/DVD Drive wont mount disks

Macbook Pro (17") wouldn't boot to desktop/homescreen, so I went to Apple.
They sent me to Micro Center for data recovery. Success.
After that, back to Apple then they sent me to Best Buy for new Hard Drive. Success.
Back to Apple. Everything working ok except that my Adobe Creative Suite programs no longer work.
So I try to reinstall via data CD, as I did when I originally installed the programs, but now my CD/DVD drive wont mount ANY disks!
It accepts them, makes some odd noises, then spits back out. Please help!

I'm confused, why did Apple 'send' you to 2 non Apple places for repairs? Did you buy the product from Best Buy? It doesn't seem like Apple made any repairs, so you'll have to get either Micro Center or Best Buy to repair the issue for you.
How long ago were these repairs?

Ipad wont open attachments after update

After update my ipad wont open attachments ie word and excel. It did prior to the update. Is there a setting I am missing or have to adjust.

I have the same problem - only it is intermittent. Today both my mobleme and gmail accounts on my iPad received emails with a .doc attachment and showed it as a mime file with 0 bites. My iMac received the .doc account. But, at other times, I've not had this problem. The inconsistency is going to drive me to pound the iPad to bits with a hammer because I bought it to substitute for a laptop when traveling for work, so if I can't rely on it to receive emails, it is worthless to me.
I've read through 20 pages of discussions and so far, this is the first reference to the issue I'm having.

CD/DVD drive wont take disk...NEW PROBLEM

I went through all the discussion boards looking for someone who had the same problem as me and no one did! Two days ago my CD/DVD drive was working fine, then yesterday I went to insert a DVD and it would take. It goes all the way in, thats right ALL THE WAY in, so I know nothing is in the drive or obstructing it. I can push the disk all the way but the drive wont take it in and read it. I have to keep poking it with my finger to bounce the disk out. It is as if the "grabbing" mechanism is completely broken or something. I have tried re-booting but nothing seems to change it. Please help.

This issue may require some qualified technician to replace the optical
drive; depending on the usage and age of the computer, the unit may
be wearing out or some part in there has failed. And depending on the
age and use pattern of the computer, the hard disk drive may also be
getting weak. {Sometimes, for a little more than the cost of one service
replacement, a second can be performed at the same time.}
If the problem is just some foreign object which somehow got into
the drive, perhaps a good service tech could look inside & see it;
maybe even remove some obstruction, if one exists in there.
Otherwise, the options are probably limited due to the way the drives
are compact and generally the computer would need to be opened
up to get into them. Some independent service techs and small
companies who know Apple products can do a good service and be
able to restore functions. Some may be able to give you a fair price
because they have access to the parts and are knowledgeable, too.
The iBook series takes some effort and skill to get into them and do
repairs, and not cause other damages as a result of this effort. My
suggestion would be to inquire locally, if at all available or likely, for
someone qualified; then inquire farther away. I had a good service
from wegenermedia.com on my older iBook at a good price; and
sent it across the continent via the US Post Office. A flat-rate box
with bubble-wrap & other padding may be adequate...
Estimates are subject to inspection in many cases, and at times,
a part may be prohibitively expensive if the tech or company is
not one who does this work often. wegenermedia is a specialist;
there probably are a few others who do portable Apple repairs in
out-of-warranty computers, to factory qualified specification.
Good luck in this matter, & happy computing!

Wont wake up after update to 10.8.2

Wont wake up after upgrade to 10.8.2

I've seen many posts on this issue which apparently appears after the 10.8.2 update.
First try a SMC reset.
Then do a Disk Repair
Then download and install the 10.8.2 Combo update.
You can install it right over the Delta update you recently installed with no issues.

Macbook Cd/Dvd burner drive wont read Cd's properly, but Dvd's are fine.

Hello.
I recently updated my Macbook 1,1 to Snow Leopard, and got new RAM and HDD. Therefor I'm importing my cd collection once again, but when i put in a CD, it makes loud weird noises and either ejects the disc automatically, or doesn't import/read the cd probably (and very slowly).
The weird thing is, is if i put in a DVD in the drive, it read it fine, with no noises or slow speeds.
What should i do?

In the past, this sort of behavior has indicated on my home computers that the optical drive is beginning to fail. If this is the case, then the cheapest and easiest solution is to purchase an external optical drive. See link at the bottom of this post. On the bright side, you may be able to use this as an opportunity to get some added functionality (ie lightscribe).
