PS Elements disk automatically ejects without installing

I upgraded my harddrive and ram and had to re-install Photoshop Elements 6. When I tried to re-install, the disk is automatically ejected without installing. Any suggestions?

Try copying the files to your hard drive and open the .exe from there,

Firewire disk automatically ejects after sleep mode

I have Maxtor OneTouch Firewire drive that occassionally will automatically eject after after my system awakes from sleep mode. Usually just need to power down the disk and then power back up for it to reconnect, but sometimes that doesn't even work. I have latest firmware from Maxtor, but that didn't help. This is really starting to annoy me. Any ideas?

No ideas? anyone??

Why does my iWork 09 disk eject without installing?

I purchased the iWorks 09 Family Pack today. It will not install. After putting in the disk drive it ejects after about 20 seconds. It does not trigger any other apps as far as I can tell. I ran the disk utility to make sure there were no problems there, but it reports everything OK. Very frustrating and I would appreciate any help in getting to the bottom of this.

I posted a reply to this same question you asked in another thread.
I think your problem is likely due to a dirty/faulty disk or disk drive. Since you obviously have more than one Mac, try the disk in another Mac. If it accepts it, I would use Disk Utility to create a disk image of the DVD which you can then copy to the other Mac(s) & install from the image (just like downloaded disk images). If the disk itself is faulty & you bought it from your local Apple Store or other reseller, take it back, explain the problem & ask for an exchange.

Acrobat 9 Pro ejects without installing

Any help would get appreciated.
I just recieved the CS5 Web Premium. One of the three discs is 'Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro'. I put it into my MacBook Pro (that just sucessfully loaded the first CD of the series - Adobe CS5 Web Premium) .... there is some whiring and then the disc pops back out.   No message, no nothing.
I put the disc in my very old PowerBook G4 and up pops the Install window but I only have one license and so can't install it here... unless I want to travel with two lap tops..   No.
Why is the disc getting spit out of my new MacBook Pro with no message but being accepted by my prehistoric PowerBook G4?
Help!!
Thanks
Rebecca

Same problem here. This is my third disk (at one point a half cocked Adobe support person sent me a windows disk). Tech support has been very little help. I've already lost a job because lack of software. Part of the solution was to remove Version 8 Pro and now I can't reinstall that version. Any help would be nice.

HT1473 In Mountain Lion, after inserting CD ... rather than Import, disk is ejected without any import - of either tracklist or music. What can I do?

Since installing Mountain Lion, my iTunes ejects the CD just prior to showing the screen asking if I want to Import ... so, neither the tracklist nor the music is imported. What can I do???

If you tried every possible solution in the all those links baltwo provided, there is nothing more anyone here can suggest other than waving a wand over the computer or you throwing salt over both shoulders.
Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you. Let the geniuses there figure it out. Diagnostic testing is free.

How to Install Elements 5 Without Installing the Flash Player that is On the Photoshop Elements 5 CD

Having just changed the operating system here from Microsoft Windows XP Pro to Microsoft Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), it is desirable to install the Existing Photoshop Elements 5, Without Installing the Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs on the Elements 5 CD. The Elements 5 Setup Wizard does not appear to offer an option to "uncheck" or otherwise prevent the Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs from being installed. It is not desirable to install and then uninstall the unwanted Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs. It is also not desirable to purchase a newer version of Elements at this time.

If you cancel out of the Setup Wizard and then go to Start>Computer and right click on the cd and choose explore, you should be able to go to the folder
that has photoshop elements 5 and run the Installer or Setup.exe and bypass all the other out of date stuff like flash and adobe reader.
Also, after installing pse 5 you'll want to apply the 5.02 patch so pse 5 runs better on windows 7.
(it says for vista, but works on windows 7 x64 as well)

Why does imac G5 eject leopard install disk

Why does imac G5 eject leopard install disk? I'm trying to help my father get online to read the newspaper using an iMac G5 1.8 GHz 17". I've installed a new hard drive and reinstalled software and rus software updates until I've reached 10.4.11 and the lovely "your software is up to date" message. When I put in the Leopard 10.5.1 Install DVD, it auto ejects within 15 seconds and never gets mounted and never shows on desktop. When I place the same DVD in my Intel MacBook Pro running 10.6.8, the disk mounts and the install window opens as usual. Any suggestions on what i'm missing here? thanks

Panther Install disks get ejected on attempt to uprgrade from OSX 10.1

I just bought a used Powermac G4 877 Mhz that had OS 10.2 installed. It has upgraded memory, ungraded Pioneer Combodrive (DVD-RW CD-RW)and an updated video card. I have Panter OSX 10.3 (Panther) Install disks. My goal was to upgrade this new G4 to 10.3 with these disks.
I first used the seller's 10.1 Install disks to clean out the system and start from scratch. Then I attempted to load my 10.3 Install disks to begin the installation. I held down the "c" key as you are supposed to when you restart the OS but instead of coming up in the Installer, the 10.3 disks for ejected and the operating system booted into 10.1.
I'm not sure if this symptom is related but I notice that there is no sound coming from Playing iTunes songs after I installed OS10.1
I'm taken a step backward because when the Mac was sold to me I checked out from the Profiler that the OS was v10.2. Now I'm at v10.1 and don't have a way to get to 10.3 because of this problem.
Any suggestion on fixing this problem would greatly be appreciated. What happened and how do I fix it?

For whatever reason, the sypmtoms of this problem went away just by re-doing the installation of OS X 10.1 from the original installation disks and downloading a few security updates to 10.1 until the OSX 10.1 Updater said I was "up to date".
After this install, I was able to load my 10.3 Panther install disks w/o them being ejected and w/o a non-response (i.e., no error diaglogs and no appearance of my installation CD on the desktop) from OS 10.1.
If anyone cares to offer up a reason for why near-identical recreaation of the steps resulted in the original problem, I would be interested in hearing.

Windows automatically ejects my OS X disc; unable to install drivers

I've just installed Windows XP using Boot Camp. I've successfully gotten through the installation and am able to start and run Windows. I'm at the part where I'm supposed to insert the OS X disc so that drivers can be installed. However, whenever I insert the disc, after several seconds it's automatically ejected.
The disc is a 10.5.4 retail copy. I've also tried using the Snow Leopard update disc, since I didn't know if that included the drivers, too, but that disc is also automatically ejected. I do not have access to the OS X disc that came with the computer, but 10.5.4 is newer than what came with this particular computer (a 15.4" MBP bought in Feb. 2008, about a month before the last revision of non-unibody laptops were rolled out).
I have successfully installed Windows XP (from the same Windows XP CD) on this same computer in the past, using, I'm very certain, the same 10.5.4 retail OS X disc to install the drivers. I'm not sure why it's not working this time, if it's a problem with the disc, the drive, or something else. I understand that Apple doesn't really provide a method to get those drivers other than installing them from the OS X disc. So I'm at a bit of a loss on how to proceed.
I do have the OS X disc and it is readable in OS X itself. Is it possible, perhaps, to copy the appropriate files from the disc, while in OS X, onto the Windows partition, so that I can reboot into Windows and update the drivers from the copied files rather than from the OS X disc? If so, what do I need to copy from the OS X disc?
Or is there some other workaround I should try first?
Message was edited by: Justin J. Rebbert (Clarifying problem in subject)

I too am having this issue. I originally installed Vista using Boot Camp and used the OSX install disc that came with my Macbook Pro to install the Apple drivers.
I just removed the partition last night and have now installed Windows 7 using boot camp. I can read the disc on my regular PC just fine - but Windows on my Mac keeps on ejecting the disc.
However, I have had huge problems with this Macbook disc drive. I think the disc drive is the sole reason that I would never purchase another mac. I hate it. It's noisy and unreliable. I constantly have to share disc drives off of other computers to run discs.

Can't eject keyboard install disk

Hoping someone can help me. Bought my brand new Mac Mini yesterday with only a new LCD - as I planned to use old keyboard and mouse. However while setting up (didnt even get to power up stage!) discovered that old k/brd and mouse aren't USB so immediately rushed out and bought new ones (Microsoft Wireless). Initially Mac didnt recognise my keyboard so inserted install disk - all went well until it asked for restart. It shut down and half restarted - disk didnt, and wont, eject and nothing at all showing onscreen tho it does light up. What can I do? I desperately want to play with my new machine!!!!
Mac Mini 1.66 Mac OS X (10.4)

That will solve it. I had the same problem. Found out that there is an issue with Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse. Just plug in a usb mouse and restart while holding down the left click. The disk will eject and everything will work fine. I've been using the Microsoft keyboard and mouse since with no problems.

How to restore from Time Machine WITHOUT install discs using a second Mac

It's a question that is asked repeatedly all over the web by Mac users like me that bought in to Time Machine (TM) on the assumption that if their computer died one day it would be a piece of cake to restore from it, only for that day to come and then to be told "ahh, okay the first thing is to get your computers install discs..." (loud crashing sound of world falling around ears).
I've never been able to afford a new Mac and both of my machines were bought second-hand. Neither came with Leopard (both have Tiger and have been upgraded to Leopard via the net). This was never supposed to be a problem as I've been backing up with TM. However it appears that Tiger discs are as much use as an inflatable dart board when it comes to using TM. So I've been faced with the possibility of having to spend £130 (about two hundred Pres Sheets, Yankees) on the Leopard install discs just so that I can have the option of restoring from TM. Bonkers.
However after much nashing of teeth, a very long weekend learning all sorts of things about 'Target Mode', 'Single User Mode', 'Verbose Mode', 'Open Source 9' etc the following solution has worked without the need to go out and buy those over-priced discs...
What you will need:
1 broken Mac requiring restoration
1 second donor Mac running Leopard (or Snow Leopard so long as the broken Mac can run it)
1 firewire cable with the correct fitting at either end to attach both Macs together
1 Time Machine backup
Note: The following is for when you have given up trying to boot from your hard drive. In my case I couldn't boot in to Safe Mode etc. so was forced to format my drive and re-import everything. If you've read this far I'm assuming your at the same point as well and have tried everything else that's out there first.
Also - both my Macs are Power PC's so can't run Snow Leopard, so I can't say 100% this will work with SL (Intel) machines. From what I've read Snow Leopard will work with this procedure too, but if you've found differently please feel free to add your experiences below...
STEP ONE: Format the corrupt Hard Drive or replace with a fresh HDD
*Link the two computers with a firewire.
*If you're replacing your HDD, remove your corrupted hard drive from the 'broken' machine and insert a new one.
*Power up the broken Mac whilst holding down the 'T' key. This will start it up in Target Mode and you'll get a nice firewire symbol floating around that machine's screen.
*Power up the second 'healthy' Mac. This will be our 'donor' machine. When it starts up after a few seconds you will see the hard drive of the broken Mac appear on the donor Mac's desktop.
*Using your donor Mac's 'Disc Utility', format the broken Mac's hard drive (now's the time to partition it etc. if you want to).
STEP TWO: Clone your donor Mac
Your broken Mac is no longer broken and now needs a new OS. But you don't have the discs, right? Well get this... you can clone your donor mac on to your machine, even if they are totally different i.e. a laptop on to a tower.
*Again using Disc Utility, click on your donor Mac's hard drive. The restore tab appears as an option.
*Click on restore and drag the donor Mac's hard drive that contains the operating system in to the Source box.
*Drag the newly formatted hard drive on the broken Mac in to the Destination box.
*Click restore. Your donor Mac's hard drive will now be 'cloned' on to your no-longer-broken Mac. Once this is done, eject the first Mac's hard drive from your donor Mac's desktop. You no longer need the donor Mac.
Ta daa! Your machine now starts up happy and smily again. Time to restore all that stuff that's been sat on your Time Machine drive...
STEP 3: Restore from Time Machine using Migration Assistant
This is the really clever part that prompted me to write this piece in the first place. Time Machine IS accessible without those Leopard install discs you don't have. You need to use something called 'Migration Assistant'.
*Start up your machine as normal and you'll see it is an exact clone of the donor machine. Weird huh?
*Attach your Time Machine hard drive. It will show up as an icon on the desktop and because of it's size, you'll be asked if you want to use it as a Time Machine backup. Err, NO YOU DON'T! Click 'cancel'.
*Open Migration Assistant (if you can't find it just type it in to Finder and click). There are three options, the middle one being to restore from TM or another disc. Yup, you want that one.
*Migration Assistant will now ask you what you want to restore in stages, firstly User Accounts, then folders, Apps etc. It will even import internet settings
And that's you done. Let Migration Assistant do it's thang... altogether I had about 140gb to restore, so it wasn't exactly speedy. This wasn't helped by the fact that my TM hard drive is connected via USB (yes, I know). Just leave it alone and it'll whirr happily away...
Before I go - you don't have an option of when to restore from, and will restore from the last Time Machine save. At least then you should be able to access TM and go 'backwards' if you need to.
Also - for a Mac expert, the above will be up there with 'Spot Goes To The Farm' in terms of complexity. However, for the rest of us the above is only available in fragments all over the net. By far the most common response to 'how do I restore from Time Machine without install discs' is 'you can't'. If I'd found the above information in one place I could have saved a lot of hair pulling and swearing over the last couple of days, so forgive me for sharing this workaround with the rest of the world. Meanwhile your expertise will come in very handy for the inevitable questions that will get posted below, so please feel free to help those people that won't be sure if this solution is the right one for them. I'm no expert, I just want to help people that were stuck in the same situation (and looking at the web, there's a LOT of them).
Hope this is of use to someone, thanks and *good luck*!

Most maintenance and repair, restore and install procedures require the use
of the correct OS X install DVD; be it an original machine-specific restore/install
disc set or a later retail non-specific general install disc set.
By having an unsupported system, perhaps installed via an illegal download or
other file-sharing scheme, where no retail official discs are involved and the
initial upgrade was done by other means outside of the License Agreements,
you are asking us to discuss a matter of illegal installation and use of a product.
There are no legal complete OS X system download upgrades online; only bits
that are update segments to a retail or as-shipped machine's original OS X install.
+{Or an installation where a previous owner had correct retail upgrade discs, &+
+chose to not include them with the re-sale of the computer it was installed in.}+
However, to answer the initial question. To get and use an externally enclosed
hard drive in suitable boot-capable housing, and get a free-running Clone
Utility (download online; often a donation-ware product, runs free) you can
make a bootable backup of everything in your computer to an external HDD.
This is the way to make a complete backup to restore all functions to the computer.
The Time Machine has some limits, in that it can restore only that which it saves.
It does not make a bootable clone of your entire computer system with apps and
your files, to an external drive device. A clone can. And some of the clone utility's
settings can also backup changes to an external drive's system; if that other drive
is attached to the computer correctly.
Carbon Copy Cloner, from Bombich Software; and also SuperDuper, another of
the most known software names you can download and use to clone boot-capable
system backups of your computer's hard disk drive contents, are often cited.
However you resolve the matter of the running OS X system in your computer,
derived from what appears to be questionable means, is part of the initial issue.
Since you do need to be able to fix an existing installation by unmounting the
computer's hard disk drive and run the computer from the other (install disc or
system clone) while it is Unmounted; and use the correct Disk Utility version to
help diagnose and perhaps be able to fix it. You can't use a Tiger version Disk
Utility to fix a Leopard installation, and so on.
So, the situation and replies as far as they can go (since the matter does
constitute an illegal system, if it was arrived at without correct discs) is a
limited one. And file sharing of copied Mac OS X (and other) software is
also considered illegal.
And, one way to get odd malware and unusual stuff, is to get an unauthorized
system upgrade from an illegal source online. You never know what's inside it.
The other reply was not a personal attack; the matter is of legal status and as
you have a product with a questionable system, the answer is to correct it.
And if you want to save everything in your computer, make a clone to a suitable
externally enclosed self-powered boot capable hard disk drive. With older PPC
Macs, that would best be to one with FireWire and the Oxford-type control chips.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing!

"Disk not ejected properly" message after Maverick update

Hi there,
After uprgrading to Maverick OS, i keep getting the message "Disk Not Ejected Properly" after booting my iMac. If i close the message, ejects the external disk, which dissapeears from Finder. After few seconds message pops-up again, with my disk appearing in Finder but unable to access it.
Nothing seems to solve it. Restart, shut down, change of USB port ...
This only happened after first time of booting Maverick update ...
Any idea what i should do ? Is this a bug ?
Regards,
Simion

This is happening to me but not after reboot it just happens randomly for no reason. I have tried repairing permissions nothing showed regarding usb, verified the HD came back ok, verified the external having the issues no problems found.
Mine is a 2TB seagate desktop external usb2 connection and powered.
This for me doesn't happen under either 10.8.5 or 10.7.5 which I have on two other external HD's for testing purposes.
It only started since installing Mavericks via clean install
It can happen for me after boot up and after the desktop has been showing for any amount of time and then it just happens again and again out of the blue without any warning of any kind.
Hopefully a fix comes along soon as it is quite annoying
