Noisy SuperDrive That Won't Load Discs

I've been trying to import all of my CDs into iTunes over the past few days. I probably imported 15 or so the other night. When I tried to import another today, it wouldn't register the disc.
I insert a CD into the optical drive and it makes a low-pitched noise (that I can't begin to describe adequately...) six times then ejects the disc. I also tried inserting a DVD and the same thing happened. The disc never mounts, so it's bascially inoperable.
Any ideas...? I've looked through the Apple documents and tried such things as resseting the PRAM and the PMU to no avail. I've also made sure the computer is level.
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Are the disks difficult to insert? It's possible that your drive isn't aligned properly, and the discs are getting hung up on the edge of the drive and not mounting properly.

  • I have a few aps that won't load on my phone but show up fine on my itunes account.  I can't delete them.  What can I do to fix them??

    I have a few aps on my phonw that won't load onto my phone.  I have the 3G.  But they show up in my itunes account.  Some are double in my itunes, one saying loading or waiting, the others are fine, just not on my phone.  I can't delete them.  When I try to press them they just jiggle and no x shows up.   I tried to delete them via my itunes, they are still on my phone.  What do I  do.  If I factory reset I loose all my calendars and contacts.  Help!!!

    Google for DFU mode and try that.

  • How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

    How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
    It also helps  if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.

  • Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading sites, it tries to load to Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I stop this?

    Latest version of Firefox is having problems loading some sites, it tries to load and then gets taken over trying to load Google Analytics. No error messages, just a page that won't load. How do I get rid of this, it is a "pain in the neck"
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    I just spent 3 days with this issue as well. I finally fixed it by reluctantly adding yet another add-on called ADBLOCK
    I was able to selectively block google-analytics. Now pages that weren't loading before are now loading.
    eg vimeo.com starbucks.com & other random sites.
    This was a tough one to fix because there is NO ERROR MESSAGE..page just shows it's loading...forever..& the bottom of my browser says 'waiting for google analytics'. I finally figured out google analytics is the culprit. Ironically, some help pages in trying to find a fix wouldn't load for me due to google analytics arghhh!
    Im on a macbookpro & Safari worked fine for these same sites. It was just Firefox. I nearly switched back to Safari because of this stupid issue.
    I'm wondering if this was caused by recent firefox 'updates'...

  • How do I uninstall an extention that won't load.

    When I start Safari it complains about an old extension and says it won't load it. I already have a newer version installed. I can see the new version of the extension under preferences, but not the old version. How do I get rid of the old version, so I don't continue to get this warning?
    Uninstalling the new version does nothing for this problem.

    Try moving the extension to the trash from   ~/Library/Safari
    If that doesn't help, go to ~/Library/Safari
    Move the Extensions.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If you aren't sure how to find those files..
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Click Go then type or copy/paste:    ~/Library/Safari
    Click Go.

  • IMac 17 won't load discs

    Hello. Just noticed a bug with my 2-year old iMac 17. It won't load DVDs or data CDs. It just makes noise and then spits them out. Music CDs work, however. Tried a few of the tricks suggested here on this board but to no avail. I don't use the drive a lot and just noticed it. The only significant change to my machine is I upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.7. Not sure if it could be related. Any ideas?

  • App that won't load

    When I first got my iPhone everything was good. I downloaded Alice and wonderland lite. Few weeks later it's said I needed to update it. It said I had to have wifi or to use iTunes I hooked it up to iTunes and it won't load it. So what do I do?

    At the iTunes menu bar, go to Store and select Check for Available Downloads.
    Or you can download the app with iTunes on your computer. You should have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes but if this is not selected, before selecting this with your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This will copy all 3rd party apps on your iPhone to your iTunes library on your computer.
    Make sure the problem app is selected under the Apps tab along with all other 3rd party apps on your iPhone if Sync Apps was not previously selected followed by a sync.
    If no change with this problem app, deselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync to remove the app from your iPhone. Reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync to install the app on your iPhone.

  • One particular website that won't load on my MacBook Pro

    I have been trying to access a website that continually fails to load (in most cases, described below) on my MacBook Pro in Safari, Google Chrome and Firefox.
    The site: http://www.crestedbuttemusicfestival.com
    My Mac won't open this site at any time from my own home. My internet connection is Qwest DSL, and yes, we do not have the fastest speed offered by Qwest. I rent and don't manage the kind of speed I have.
    My Mac might open this site in Safari in a location with a faster speed. But it still won't open in Firefox or Chrome.
    I do have the most recent versions of all browsers in question.
    When it fails to open in Safari at home, yes, I've reset Sarafi and cleared the cache each time.
    The folks who own the website say they have no idea what's going on. But I met someone else who told me the same thing happens to them once in a while (versus my "all the time" experience.)
    This is the ONLY site that my computer will not open.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated! It is a non-profit music festival that has no reason to be falling under any kind of parental control filters, which I don't think I have in place anyway as I have no children.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I can open that page no problem.
    Your profile... v10.6.5
    If that is the case, you need to update your software. Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) then click: Software Update ...
    If in fact your software is up to date and you are running v10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.4 ... then from the menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then try that site.

  • How do I cancel a download that won't load

    I tried downloading a movie from iTunes. It lost connection and stopped downloading and now none of my apps will update. It just says waiting. How do I cancel the movie that started loading?  I only see the pause and resume buttons on the iTunes download tab. I'm using my iPad and don't have the computer to connect to. Thanks.

    On the iPad, tapping the icon functions the same as pause/resume

  • Is there a way I can disable images for just one specific website that won't load properly?

    The website Epinions.com is not loading properly for me (since it went through an upgrade). Pages will begin to load and stop midway or only load a small amount. I'm getting frequent timeouts where pages entirely fail to load. I think one reason this is happening may be because the site is much more image heavy than it used to be. I would like to disable images on just that one site rather disabling all images in general. Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?

    Try to update to Firefox 8 to see if that helps.

  • After the iOS6 update I have apps that are missing & some that won't load or open!  When will this be fixed?

    I try to open some apps and the loading screen comes up but the it cuts off and will not open no matter what I do.  I have reinstalled the app and rebooting the iPod?!! Don't want 2 reset the iPod to original settings will lose all saved material with games and videos!!?

    Hi. Thanks! I guess I didn't state the problem clearly. The downloads are stalled--18 of them. The last time I tried to update (after a sync with my iMac), they stalled and never finished. Now I can't use any of those apps. I have a feeling it's one bad app stalling everything, so I'm going to try syncing with just bare bones apps. The iPad is strictly used by my kids, so I'm not that adept with it.

  • I have CD's from 2002 that won't load on my pc. How can I get them on itunes without re-buying them?

    Pleas help, I recently purchased all of the CD's form Nickleback and some are too old to load onto my computer. They work on cd players fine and the newer ones work on computer so i assume thats the problem. Anyway I wanted them on my itunes but dont want to have to buy them again. Any suggestions on how to do this? thanks

    Yeah, if they didn't work on anything I wouldn't be so confused. I assumed it was age simply because they are older CD's, but I bought them brand new even though they date back to 2002. And since my laptop is a few years old, I figured it doesn't have the same software as my new PC, but must still be too new for the CD's. To be honest I thought DVD drives jst played all CD's, didn't think they could pick and choose.
    Is there anyway to use the barcodes etc on iTunes to get the songs on to it? Or will I have to buy the albums off of iTunes...

  • I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display).  I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

    So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this.  The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine.  The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem?  If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha.  Thanks,
