My macbook keeps ejecting iLife 11 family pack

My macbook keeps ejecting iLife 11 family pack  disk?

The drive accepts discs but they do not mount or are automatically ejected
Check the disc's surface for scratches and dirt, since these things can prevent the disc from appearing on the desktop.
Reset the Power Manager (PMU) or System Management Controller (SMC).
Ensure your drive can read the specific type of disc being used. For example a "combo drive" can read a DVD-R and burn a CD-R however it cannot burn a DVD-R. The utility System Profiler may provide additional information regarding what media your computer supports.
If the discs continue to not be recognized, please contact Apple, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional troubleshooting, evaluation, or service.

  • I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc.  It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc.  It ejects every time now.

    I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc.  It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc.  It ejects every time now.  I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it.  I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that.  Why won't this work?!

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • My macbook keeps ejecting the install dvd at restart???

    my macbook keeps ejecting the install dvd at restart???

    Try zapping PRAM. Hold down the cndopt+RP keys on restart (with the Leopard disk in), and release them after 3 "bongs". Then, immediately hold down the C key.

    My MacBook keeps ejecting all my cds/ dvds.  Help!

    It sounds like the superdrive is bad. The only other thing you can do is try to put it back in again. Some times the 3rd time works. None the less it will need to be replaced.

  • Upgrading to iLife Family Pack

    Hello
    I owned iLife 08 for my Macbook but we now have two more Macbooks in the house so I purchased the Family Pack.
    Can I change licence somewhere on the Macbook where it is already installed so that the Single User licence is available for me to sell, as I have the Family Pack? I will just install the Family Pack on the others.
    Many thanks
    Deborah

    Deborah:
    You don't need to worry about licenses. Just install the the family pack on the other Macs. That's all that's necessary.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Macbook keeps ejecting audio CD

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro keeps ejecting a particular audio CD that I am trying to load. The drive is fine as it plays all other CD's and DVD's without incident. The problem with this disk is that it is disk 2 of a multi disk album. Coincidentally the two CD's have the same number of tracks, so I am willing to bet that the computer thinks that the second disk is actually the first one so it ejects it as soon as it reads what it is. Any help as to how to mediate this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    There are a couple of possibilities:
    The CD could be damaged or a bad burn.
    Your SuperDrive could be failing. Ejecting a CD without reading is a common indicator.
    If the CDs are readable by other readers then this is probable. In the last 4-5 years, I've had to replace all the superdrives in my systems at least once. "Correct" replacement drives are available at OWC
    New Super-MultiDrives for Apple Mac Pro - up to 24X DVD, 16X DVD Dual-Layer, 48X CD Read/Write Speeds
    Amazon, or other sites. I always check what OWC is selling first since it's correct, available, and reasonably priced.
    Disk Utility isn't going to repair a problem on a CD or DVD.
    Having the CD come out with scratches isn't a good sign either. It is possible to polish out scratches on a CD/DVD, but it's best done with a rig like this:
    Digital Innovations Skip Dr. Classic Disc Repair System - Walmart.com
    good luck

  • Why my macbook keep ejecting cds or dvd

    why my macbook pro keep on ejecting cps ?

    Have you tried starting up while holding down the Option yet? That should prompt the Startup Manager window.
    To install from the DVD disc, startup while holding the C key down and inserting the install disc at the same time.

  • Macbook keeps ejecting OS X 10.6.4

    Basically want to factory reset my Macbook. I insert the Installation dvd it came with (10.6.4), spins while for a while then ejects. Currently running 10.6.8.

    Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
    Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
    Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
    Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
    Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
    Try the combo update again.

  • Why does macbook keep ejecting install DVD?

    Was given an old Macbook with only a Windows XP OS on it.   Boot camp can't find mac OS.   Trying to install "Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD-ROM Full Version In Retail Box" I just purchased.  Problem is when I select the disk to boot from at startup it ejects itself and immediately loads the Windows.  What am I doing wrong or is this installation impossible?  It successfully reads this DVD & all other DVDs in the windows environment.
    2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 1 GB RAM
    I've tried resetting PRAM & SMC already with no success.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can i use my iwork family pack for ipad2?

    I bought iwork when i purchased my macbook, it is the family pack and has installs left on it. Can i use it for my ipad2(that they say will take 4-5 weeks!)?

    Hey RedEyedJedi & welcome to the forums.
    iWork for the iPad is a different application. The discs you bought won't work. If you want iWork on your iPad, you need to buy it through the App Store.

  • I work family pack - macbook air

    Hello,
    Im trying to install the iwork (bought the family pack) in my macbook air and it asks me for the serial number, which I cannot find. The trial version has already expired, and I had to use my other mac as a remote drive for the dvd. any of those things can be the problem?
    it doesnt work without this serial number, and keeps me asking for it...
    anyone??
    thanks in advance!

    First, you have posted in the iWork for iOS forum (iWork for iPad & iPhone). The confusion is probably understandable since there is no general iWork for Mac forum, just for each component.
    Your question is a common one. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Loaded iWork08 on new MacBook Air, won't accept my family pack SN

    I purchased the new MacBook Air 13" basic model, loaded the iWork 08 by establishing a link with one of my iMacs, sharing the drive. The programs were successfully installed, the icons were added to my dock, and all was well. When I entered the serial number upon launching the programs, my serial number is declared invalid, and I was invited to purchase a current serial number. I purchased the family pack and have installed it on two or three iMacs, which should leave me a couple of installs.
    Any Ideas what I should do next?
    It is good to know you experts on everything Apple are out there to help when needed, I only wish I knew enough to help you sometimes.
    Thanks,

    Yvan, thanks so much for your response. iWorks was the first program I added onto my MBA. I used the install disc in my iMac, and everthing seemed to appear install fine, just like I remember installing the iWorks on that iMac. I used a prceedure that I got from a forum on MacRumors.
    I followed the same protocol installing Office:Mac 2008, and entered on of my serial number, and those programs are working well.
    A lot of applications put their components in a single area : the Applications folder.
    iWork (without a final s) behave differently.
    The three apps themselves must be stored in a single subfolder of the Applications folder and some files are stored in the folder which I described.
    This scheme is interesting for users with several user accounts if some have iWork installed in the account and others haven't.
    The files stored in the described folder may be used by every accounts storing iWork.
    Few files are shared this way in iWork '08.
    Many files are shared this way in iWork '09 and I guess that they will be more numerous in the next version.

    I am also having a similar issue. I used Adobe Lightroom and my whole display goes black. Even my laptop screen and the lights on the keyboard go black. I can still hear the fan running, so I assume it is just the display. This is my first Mac and I have had nothing but issues. I think I am going back to Windows after this.
