No longer accepts discs

Hi,
I've got a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.6 (PowerPC) it's supposed to be able to read and write CD/DVDs of all formats. However, just recently it has stopped accepting discs of any kinds. When I insert a CD or DVD into the computer it just thinks about reading it for a second and then spits it back out. I've looked in Disk Utility and at no point is the disc ever read (or at least not to the point where Disk Utility will show it on the left hand side). I'm thinking about taking this machine into the genius bar in case it's a hardware question, but I was wondering if anyone had seen or heard of a problem like this before? Thanks so much.

There have been a few posts about this kind of thing. Check the DVDs and your PowerBook G4 12-inch forum.

    Hey walteka,
    You're on the right track by starting off your troubleshooting with a restart. I found this article that details other troubleshooting steps to try:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    It is very detailed and I would read through it all, but I would concentrate on the "If you still can't send or receive iMessages" section.
    Cheers,

  • AppleTV no longer accepts new 3rd party remote

    I got a new UVerse remote since the old one went belly-up.  I wanted to program the new one with the AppleTV.  The AppleTV would not accept input from the remote.  I messed with all the remote configs, and deleted one that WAS working for my Harmony remote.  It would no longer accept a connection from the Harmony.  I wiped the AppleTV back to factory, and it still tells me it cannot get a signal from either the UVerse remote or the Harmony remote.
    Whenever I try to program, and click on the "Up" button, the light blinks, and the AppleTV beeps.  So, it is clearly getting the signal, even though it says it isn't.
    I feel like I am missing something very simple, or one of the most recent updates broke something.

    I know how you feel. I have (2) apple TVs. I think I upgraded a couple of weeks ago, Ill check my version tonight. But I get loooooooooooooooooooooong pauses when I go to my "artists" section under music. Its like it locks up for a minute or 2. Then finally list all my artist. I have 20,000 tracks, but Im not streaming.
    I agree apple dont release an update unless you know theres its perfectly bug-free version. There just too eager in recieving those movie revenues to care anymore it seems.

  • Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL.

    Firefox 33.0.2 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Since upgrading Firefox, it no longer accepts URLs in the URL bar - it works if I have a bookmark, a link or from History, but not if I enter or paste a URL and hit <enter>, in which case nothing happens at all.
    I have found that issue reported for Ubuntu (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1011935?esab=a&as=aaq) but not for Windows. The solution there to change the keyboard is not feasible since it's a laptop with a built-in keyboard.
    I did not have this issue with FF 28 (I finally upgraded because I was getting BSODs) and I don't have this issue with any other Browser on same platform.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Solaris Management Console no longer accepts logins after running JASS...

    I have an unusual problem... I have a Solaris 10 system (with the 2/16/2005 patches on it. I am able to use the Solaris Management Console (v2.1) with no issues to make my disk storage adjustments, etc etc.
    The problem is when I run JASS with the secure.driver setup. After that, the Management console no longer accepts the root password to authenticate. So, I know that JASS tightened something up, but I can't figure out what it did. Worse, when I undo the JASS run, it doesn't undo whatever it did to the security of the Management Console.
    Any idea where the Solaris Management Console gets it's security information (and configuration) from? And how I can undo whatever JASS did to it?
    Again, I've reinstalled this test box 3 times, and I know it's the JASS step that's locking me out, and not the recommended & security patches.
    Thanks to all!
    -- M

    As a followup - right after posting this message, I opened a support case for this, and the solution is that you need to go into /etc/security/policy.conf and backup JASS's change to the default encryption model.
    Change CRYPT_DEFAULT=1 back to CRYPT_DEFAULT=__unix__
    Then, you have to clear the password using "passwd -d", and then reset it again to what you want. Then, the management console will work.
    I guess the management console is set to always use the __unix__ method, and not look at the policy.conf's setting. So when JASS wanders from the default, it breaks SMC.

  • Adobe Reader 11.0.09 - some certificates no longer accepted for signing PDF forms

    After installation of the patch 11.0.09 of Adobe Reader some certificates are no longer accepted for signing (not enlisted in list of certificates) when clicking the sign fields of PDF forms. The forms were created using LiveCycle Designer.
    Is it by design or is it a bug? If it is by design, what is the change, which caused this behavior? We are facing the problem, when our users are no more able to sign the request forms using their client certificates.
    The example is on the following screenshots.

    Hi Milan,
    Yes, there has been some enhancements in this domain, You may check the release note of 11.0.09::  11.0.09 Planned update, Sept 16, 2014 — Acrobat and Adobe Reader Release Notes

  • IMessage no longer accepts images to be dragged into the message box

    My iMessage iMac app no longer accepts images to be dragged into the message box since upgrading to Mavericks. I used to be able to just drag in .jpg images and they would appear in the text field to be sent to another persons iPhone/iPad/iMac. This no longer happens and just ignores that I have dragged it. Not even a "not accepted" icon appears.
    Is this just me? Or a bug in Mavericks?

    Its working again now after a restart so must be a bug.

  • HT1277 Why is mobile me no longer accepting my password?

    My password still works for other application. However, mobile me no longer accepts it and no, I have not changed it nor mistyped it.

    I'm having this same problem. I can no longer get my email using Mac Mail or Outlook. I can log into the website and get it just fine, so I know my password is working fine.
    I have deleted the account and started over from scratch, but it will not log in.
    I get: Logging in to the MobileMe IMAP server "mail.me.com" failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct then click continue. If the infomration isn't correct, you cannot received messages.
    As I said, everything is correct. I changed the server settings as suggested above, it did not help.
    Nevermind....all of a sudden it's working.

  • Oh no! "Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs."

    Tried to submit an app to the Mac App store and I received this now:
    "Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs."
    Looks like a fix is in for Adobe Air (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3680732), but I'm not sure if the same is being performed on Director.
    I'm not using any Xtras or anything, I think this is just embed within the Director builds.
    Looks like submitting anything to any Apple App store is going to be on hold for everyone until this gets fixed.

    Hi,
    Looks like this issue has been fixed in April 8th, 2014 release of AIR SDK. So the latest release 13.0.0.111 on May 13th, 2014 will have this issue fixed.

  • HT4623 my device no longer accepts the creation of any account

    my device no longer accepts the creation of any account

    Thanks for that. There was some code in the GET_P method which I had unremarked. I assume it was always remarked out because once I Unremarked it again all worked okay. I did not really look at the code but when I did I could see that it was being set to a Pickllist, which was not what I wanted.
    Many thanks
