OSX Yosemite does not recognize superdrives.

Performed a clean install of Yosemite on my Mac Pro (Early 2009), I had previous been running Yosemite from an upgrade. Performance was slow and after one root, it no longer booted, i.e. errors on boot drive. I restarted with the Recovery Partition and performed a clean install. Now, performance is good, both internal Harddrives are working well, however; my internal Superdrives are not showing up recognized.
System Report show this for my internal superdrives.
Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions of where to start on troubleshooting this?

Back up your Mac, if you have not done so already. To learn how to use Time Machine to back up your Mac read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
... errors on boot drive.
Those errors are likely to occur again, and when they do you may not have another opportunity to back up.

  • My Macbook Pro (OSX Yosemite) does not recognize my Rocketfish music receiver via Bluetooth.

    I bought a Rocketfish music receiver in order to stream music on my MacBook Pro using Yosemite to my stereo receiver.  I cannot get my laptop to recognize/connect to the Rocketfish or my iPhone 5 even though the iPhone 5 connects to the receiver.

    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.

  • Yosemite does not recognize scanner

    I have a MacBook Pro 6,2 (2.4 Ghz i5 and 8 Gb RAM) and I have just installed Yosemite 10.10.2. I am testing it carefully to make sure all of the applications that I need are properly supported. Yosemite does not see either of my scanners. I have 2 scanners; an Epson Perfection V600 Photo and an older HP Scanjet 5590. System Preferences does not see either scanner and I cannot, therefore, add them. I have downloaded and installed the latest driver and software from Epson. To test the scanners, I connect them directly to the MacBook Pro via USB. Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 does see the Epson scanner in the "select device" dialog that follows "Create PDF->From Scanner->Select Device" dialogs, but then returns an error stating is cannot communicate with the device. Acrobat Pro 9 does not see the HP at all. Image Capture does not see either scanner. Both printers (HP LaserJet 2035 and HP OfficeJet 8100) are visible and work properly, connected through my home network (Mac Pro wired, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air wireless), both are connected via USB
    My intention is make sure all of my existing hardware and software works as it should in Yosemite before I upgrade my Mac Pro desktop (still on 10.8.5 Mountain Lion). I cannot risk killing the whole thing. And I am not a Macintosh neophyte; I still have my old Mac Plus in a box in the garage and I have relied on Macintosh since 1986.
    Is there some installation or configuration detail that I am missing?

  • Powerbook does not recognize Superdrive

    Yesterday my Powerbook was acting funny and hanging at the white Apple logo at start up so I decided to stick in my boot CD so I could run some disk utilities to diagnose and remedy the problem. My Powerbook refused to boot from the CD (although it was working mechanically... you can hear the disc spinning) and after some PMU resets and PRAM resets I breathed life back into the computer. Then, however, the super drive refused to spit out the CD. Nothing I tried would make it cooperate. So I then checked the System Profiler and checked Disc Burning and got a disturbing message -
    "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly."
    The drive would always spin up, but refuse to read. I finally got fed up with it and cracked open my Powerbook took out my Superdrive and opened the case and rescued the Boot CD manually. My computer is no longer under warranty and I have been inside of it before and removed even more critical components such as the hard drive, so I'm certain I didn't break anything on the way in or out. Now, the Superdrive is still not being recognized by my computer and no longer accepts discs and spits them back out with a unenthusiastic tired tone.
    Is there any way I can resuscitate my Superdrive?
    Are there any methods I can use where I can confirm whether or not the Superdrive is dead or just experiencing difficulties?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    I have an update to my problem.
    I recently got my computer to recognize the Superdrive. The steps I took to do so were:
    -I opened up my computer to check the drive and connection cable to make sure there was no way a lack of connection.
    -Reset PMU
    -Reset PRAM
    -Went into Open Firmware and used the commands (reset-nvram, set-defaults, reset-all)
    Booted my computer and sure enough my computer now acknowledges the existence of the superdrive; HOWEVER, it still does not accept any discs. It does not accept them to even start spinning, as soon as the disc is pushed in the drive throws it out with a negative ****** tone.
    Due to the new developments, is there any way to fix the problem?
    Do these symptoms indicate a dead Superdrive?
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Idvd does not recognize superdrive

    i have a macbook pro 15" and it has a superdrive, but just now when i opened idvd to burn a dvd an error message popped up saying that "this machine does not have a superdrive so i will not be able to burn a dvd?" then i quit idvd and opened it again and was able to burn the dvd. does any one know what happened? or what caused that. i just received my computer back today from a repair that was done concerning the screen and the computer freezing. but now im paranoid that its not recognizing the superdrive.

    "this machine does not have a superdrive so i will not be able to burn a dvd?"
    Don't be paranoid. It's actually normal. When Apple Certified Techs open or go into the guts of your laptop and open up the machine completely, they often test items as a whole and also individually which means they need to disconnect various items and then put them back the way they were.
    If you got this error message when you opened iDVD, it's very possible they had to remove a component or perhaps the S-Drive and put it back in when they were done. If they did this while the system was powered up, then next time the app is opened it will remember it didn't have the drive at that particular time. So next time it's powerd up one would get a message saying there is no S-Drive. If you see the message again, then I'd be concerned. That would indicate the device was not properly reinstalled and may have a loose connection.

  • Disc stuck and Mac does not recognize superdrive

    I have an iMac G5 (no video camera). I have been using the superdrive without problem until today. I placed a DVD in the drive and nothing. I have tried every method I could think of to eject it. Ominously, the drive does not even appear when I run system profile.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this short of a repair trip to Apple? Thanks!

  • Yosemite does not recognize external displays...

    I will bring this up again since I know a lot of people are having this issue, myself included, and the previous forum indicated that the problem was not solved although it as marked as unsolved  
    Can anybody offer some help?  Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro (15'' 2013) won't connect to any external monitor, projector, etc.  Not OK.   IF you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, DO NOT UPGRADE!!!!!

    Hi SS7886247,
    I see that you are having issues with your external display since the update to Yosemite. I would like to suggest that you perform a PRAM reset to see if this troubleshooting step affects the issue:

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

  • Mountian Lion does not recognize Yosemite in Start up disk

    Greetings All,
    I recently installed Yosemite on the partition of my HD (1TB) I ran Mavericks on.
    On another partition of the same HD I run Mountian Lion (I use Pro Tools 9.06 on it).
    When working within Mountain Lion, I used to switch to Mavericks (and vice versa) via System Preferences / Start up disk. Now Mountain Lion apparently does not recognize Yosemite as a bootable disk: in System Preferences / Start up disk Yosemite does not appear (as Mavericks used to do).
    Does anyone know what's the cause of Yosemite not being available as Start up disk in System Preferences in Mountain Lion?
    Kind regards,
    Gerrit

    Your hard disk drive is shown divided up into three partitions: Mountain Lion, Yosemite, and the Data partition, all of which are indented in the list on the left in Disk Utility. The "media" on which the partitions exist (your Western Digital hard drive device, which is not indented), is shown in the traditional configuration we've known for years (so I apologize for introducing "Logical Volume Groups" to the discussion). It's been my experience that sometimes, installation of Yosemite will take the partition arrangement you have and convert it into a Logical Volume Group which becomes much more difficult to work with, and much, much more difficult to explain.

  • HT1199 I have a desktop mac operating on Mac OSx 10.4.11 and the system does not recognize my iphone and I am unable to upgrade to the newest itunes version. What do I need to do?

    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
    More about Macs
    The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
