Something wrong with my CD/DVD drive??
I think there is something wrong with my CD/DVD drive. here are the things I notice:
At time the CD drive will act up and make a little noise (same normal noise as when mac starts up) but for no reason
When I put my mac on stand by, my CD drive decided to make some noise and then it woke the computer from sleep mode
Any suggestions? What could be the problem here?
Thanks.

well i live in a small town so finding an apple repair service is out of the question....but i will probably just make an appointment....now my biggest problem is i cant find the receipt from best buy where i bought it from. but as soon as i got home and turned it on i registered it online and when i went to check it earlier and typed the serial number it says its still under limited warranty until january 18 2008...can i just tell them the serial number since i dont have the receipt anymore or will they charge me since i dont have the receipt? should i just buy applecare before i make an appointment and bring it in? thanks for all of your help

Something is wrong with my cd/dvd drive
i just inserted a blank disc to burn some songs from itunes and as soon as i put the cd in it started making this grinding sound after the computer read the cd. i tried other cds and dvds as well and it does the same thing. does anyone know whats wrong with the drive? is it broken? will the apple store cover this since its still under the one year warranty for free or will they charge me? also how long will it take for them to fix this? thank you for your help

Not Enough Memory or Something Wrong with Printer error
My Epson 820 printer works fine and I can print a nozzel check pattern from the printer utility software. However, I can't print from any of my software. I keep getting the error "Something Wrong with Printer" or from some software I get "Not Enough Memory".
I'm not having any other problems and can do complex graphics in Photoshop without any memory issues. I've checked my printer setup and it clearly sees my printer. My Epson 820 also shows up in the Printing Options dialog box.
Any suggestions?Thanks for these suggestions. I believe it's my computer. I've started having additional problems. I opened a .pdf in Acrobat Reader and tried to print. After that I couldn't shut down my computer. Alarmed, I connected my firewire backup disk and backed up my hard drive. Then when I tried to eject the external drive, it didn't allow me to disconnect. It reappeared with the disk icon and a second folder labeled as the external drive but showing the drive was empty. I shut down and rebooted; all my files are in tact on the external drive but there's definitely a computer issue here.
Any suggestions how I should proceed? -
It seems like there is something wrong with the USB of retina macbook pro
My mac is macbook pro with retina. It seems like there is something wrong with the USB. It cannot detect my amazon kindle, IBM CD driver and mp3 player, though it works well with U Disk and HDD. I don't know why.
You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
#2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
#3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
#4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years. You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. -
My phone wont let me download anything even free stuff or update.it keep saying something wrong with my billing info so i fix it but still cant download.I signed out sign back in still nothing please help i'm getting angry
If it says your billing info is wrong that means that your credit card issuer is refusing to approve your account. You will have to solve the problem with your bank or credit card company.

I bough a used Macbook Pro mid 2009 that came with OS 10.8.9 it didn't have a backup restore disk with S/N W8******66D
When trying to view some youtube videos; a window would pop up saying "it needs adobe flash player is required for video play back get the latest flash player" but after downloading the file and during installation would have errors and will not installed.....tried to reboot and install again.....but still the same.
The othe thing I had noticed is when using a good Bose headset with mic the sound output would noticed the headset and then switch from headset to Internal speekers and headset.....thinking that there might be something wrong with the plug in port of the computer or the headset.....the headset works with no issues on my iPad so there must be something wrong with the computer.....tried to move the plugin around the port but no change....while the headset is plug in can hear a short clicking noise and the sound would get lost and back again......but with nothing plugin to the port there is no issue with the sound or mic.
Thanks for your feed back......it looks like I have two different issues one is a software issue and the outher is a hardware issue
<Edited By Host>The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check. -
The new version of itunes has conflited with my cd/dvd drive
It seems that the new version of Itunes has conflicted with my CD/DVD drive because when I uninstalled and re installed the itunes my drive has stopped working and I now have an error code of 19 - Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) I have tried to update drivers but I am up to date, I have installed and re installed my drive this did not solve the problem. I am now at a loss as to what to do I have had a live chat with microsoft and they could not reslove it all they wanted to do was sell me another service!!! Could installing an older version of itunes solve this issue?
See TS2308: iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

There is something wrong with the volumes buttons in my macbook pro, every time i pressed the one who raises the volume, it leads me to the screen where (i do not no what its called) the background is black with the date and time and a calculator. However, when i lower it, my safari tab goes out of the screen. What do you guys think i should do? I'm getting very nervous.
hey HAbrakian!
You may want to try using the information in this article to adjust the behavior of your function keys to see if that resolves the behavior:

There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?
Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

I synced my ipod to my computer and all my music disappeared. I tryed resyncing it and it would only sync my apps and not my music. I cant add music to my ipod. I something wrong with the USB port in the IPOD, the USB Cord, or ITUNES itself. Itunes still shows that all my music is there on my ipod. Itunes is recognizing that my ipod is connected, but it doesnt recognize that theres no music on my ipod anymore. Im so sad. Someone please help me. I miss my music.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases.
The ipod is not a storage/backup device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
As the music came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there and in your backup copy of your computer. -
Getting error message as shown: "The file 'Acknowledgements.rtf' cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet file 'iTunes.cab'. Is there something wrong with the latest installer? (11.3.1)
Installs fine for me, so I'd guess you got an incomplete or corrupt download. See the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for direct links and download a fresh copy of the installer.
