My Imac The DVD drive have stopped working, the DVD goes in, the computer read it and it comes out again ..
Sofaware is: OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
Can anybody please help, or would I need to buy a new drive?

Have you tried one of those CD cleaning Discs yet?
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

  • I have an hp dv6910us and the system speakers have stopped working. I cannot reinstall the driver.

    I have an hp pavilion dv6910us and the speakers have stopped working and no longer show as installed as a device.  I have tried reinstalling the audio device driver, but the hp website does not list a driver for my specific laptop.
    Right now it shows that I have a bluetooth audio device installed.  I have never installed this device and don't know where it came from.

    I had the exact same problem, updating updating the Mbox 2 drivers on the Avid website has fixed the problem.

  • My dvd drive has stopped working... put disk in...spits it out! Can anyone help?

    My DVD drive has stopped working...put a disk in...spits it out. Can anyone help?

    If you have a mid 2010 iMac, it is not PPC.  PPC refers to pre-2006.
    The 2010 is getting close to the age the PRAM battery might go, so that could be at issue.
    The other issue is that the drive itself could only handle up to a certain speed DVD disc:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP588
    Slot-loading 8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    Writes DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 4x speed
    Writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed
    Writes DVD-RW discs at up to 6x speed and DVD+RW discs at up to 8x speed
    Reads DVDs at up to 8x speed
    Writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed
    Writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed
    Reads CDs at up to 24x speed
    If any are near the top end, that could explain it.
    Some copy-protected commercial DVDs that were recently released may have difficulty with Apple's drives.
    Some non-region discs may have difficulty if you are outside of the country region the disc was made.  Apple gives you several attempts to setup regions.
    If you or anyone else stuck an SD card in the CD drive by accident, it would spit out discs regardless of what kind you put in.  Good to try a commercial music CD you know worked before, or a commercial DVD you know worked before under 10.6.8.  
    I know for instance some Netflix DVDs won't read on my 10.9 installed iMac of the same age but will work on the 10.7 installed MacBook Pro that is newer.   And switching back to 10.6 on the same iMac doesn't make a difference.
    http://www.macsales.com/ offers external drives as well as internal replacement drives worldwide.
    Bluray is not compatible.
    Discs with sticky label may not work because they make the disc out of balance, and the sticky can get into the drive mechanism.
    Barring anything else, it could have gotten dust accumulated.  Bring it to the genius bar of an Apple Store if still baffled.

  • Upgraded itunes now my dvd drive has stopped working

    I recently updated itunes and now my dvd driver has stopped working. My computer won't even recognize my dvd drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and uninstalled itunes several times. I've tried system restore. I've even looked for an older version of itunes and no luck. I took it into Fry's electronics and they fixed it but when I hooked up my ipod it stopped working again. I don't know what to do. This is really frustrating and I am just tired of itunes messing with stuff and constatly crating new versions. I've read other threads and have tried some of the suggestions with the registration which didn't work.
    Can you please help me.

    You might get more help if you post your question in the correct forum.
    This is the 'iTunes for Mac' forum and I can see from your post that you actually have a PC.
    PC users will not really be reading this forum, which is the help you need.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • My keyboard shortcuts on the iPhone 5 have stopped working

    My keyboard shortcut have stopped working. If I restart my phone they start working but then will stop. Any ideas?

    Searching around suggests this is a common problem. I've got the same issue. I just read that shortcuts are now sync'ed across other iOS devices. It probably has something to do with that. Sorry this isn't a helpful reply! But just wanted to chime in and indicate a lot of us have this problem.

  • My extensions have stopped working. They appear in the Add-on list as installed, but they don't load with Firefox.

    I have many extensions downloaded. They all worked earlier today, but now none of them are working. They appear in the add-on list as installed, but they don't load. I cannot find them anywhere in any Tools or Options. I use Speed Dial, Read It Later, etc., and they're all gone.

    You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • My headphones have stopped working on my macbook pro. they are plugged in and dont even register on the output sound

    i need help!!!!!!

    Do you get sound from the internal speakers?  If you hold down the opt/alt key and click the speaker icon on the menu bar, what options do you have under 'Output Device'?  Look into the headphone socket, can you see a red light?

  • DVD Drive won't work! (DVD region settings?)

    My DVD drive does not seem to be working. I sent it in for servicing and was told that they changed the drive.
    However, it still does not accept/recognize DVDs at all when I insert them. I recently travelled overseas and changed my region from region 4 to region 1. I have not changed it back, but cannot figure out how to even open the settings.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    The drive automatically detects that a disk with a different region was inserted. You can only change it 5 times however. If you continue having problems take it to your nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
