Chances are good that your internal optical drive has failed.
The slot loading optical drives that Apple uses in their computers is not of high quality and their reliability varies throughout different Mac computer models.
Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.
Most Mac compatible drives you will only find to be purchased online.
Here are two on Amazon.com that are cheap and Mac compatible

Here's another source for Mac compatible optical drives. These are better quality optical drives.
These are also tray loading drives.

I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?

I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working perfectly. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?
Where does the imovie.library reside? where do the events and projects reside?

Hi winkydb,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not see the events or clips you were working with previously, first see if you can switch back to the library you were using with this method:
Show or hide the Libraries list
You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
The default location for iMovie libraries is the Movies folder in your home folder.
You can find this information here:

HT1338 I have a lot of files called FILE0001.CHK etc. on my MacBookPro - they cannot be opened and an app search produces no solution. Does anyone know what they are please?

Thanks Charlie and Leroydouglas - apologies for not responding sooner - I am new to the Community and couldn't see how to respond to your queries without 'replying' to myself - hope this works. I do not use Windows on my Mac but it is possible I ran ScanDisk on my previous Windows laptop. Perhaps I have inadvertently brought these files to my Mac?? Can I delete the files or will I be losing something I cannot verify? So appreciate your input - thank you.

My iPad screen went all white when I was trying to close an app. I cant turn it off and iTune cant sync with it either. Does anyone know what I should do to fix this.

I have an iPad 2 that is about 2 years old and is in good shape. I was trying to swipe off an app when the screen went all white. I held down the power button to shut it down but it wont do any thing but go black. When I press the power button it come back all white with no icons and no passcode pad. Does anyone know how to fix this or what it is?
Thanks

TThanks for the suggestion but it turns out that you have to hold down the Home button, the Power button AND the Volume UP button at the same time for several seconds until,the Apple appears To fix the white screen of death. Found that on another help site. It works and boy an I glad. Pass it on.

I recently got a new iPod, and with it of course the iMessage feature. However for some reason all my incoming text messages are copied to my father. We do not and have never shared an Apple ID. Does anyone know what is happening?

Note that I have also tried creating several different Apple IDs in the hope this would solve the problem, however it has failed to do so.

That means there is a common email address( or maybe a phone number if one ID is associated with an iPhone with iOS 6). On each device go to Setting>Messages>Send and receive and make sure that the same email address or phone number is not listed on both devices.

Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

I first noticed a problem, even on a strong wireless network, with my laptop involving a failed connection to iTunes. Now, it is appearing on every iTunes-enabled device I own (even my phone). Does anyone know what the heck is going on??

I can't update, purchase, or anything… even on the strong internet signal! Is something down??

A simple search of the Internet would have revealed that Apple is reporting issues with iTunes currently.

When using a web site that opens a window within a window, Firefox doesn't perform this task as it normally would, but Internet Explorer still performs it as it should. Does anyone know what the problem is?

This seems to be a problem with secure sites ie my banking and university web sites, once again it is when a new window is meant open up.

I'm trying to burn a playlist to a CD-R blank disc and I keep getting an error message (2131). Does anyone know what this means?

I'm trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD-R disc at a low speed (12x) and I keep getting the error message "2131." Any idea what this means?

It's usually related to old firmware on your CD/DVD drive, but we'd better have a look at your DVD/CD tests first, just to be sure.
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

My iPod 4g iMessage wonn't sign in and I've been signed in before. Does anyone know what to do?

Can anyone help me? I had to replace the screen on my ipod and now everything works fine, exept iMessage. It won't let me sign in and it keeps saying "Error accured duing iMessage login."

You can try here:

However, I suspect an Apple server problem. Many users have been reporting problems with Messages and Facetime today.

I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks for providing the model information.
I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
Please post back your results.

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

Follow the instructions very carefully.
