Superdrive Dead - won't accept media

My disk drive was working fine (I played a dvd 20 hours ago) until I inserted an audio disk and quickly ejected it from my wirless keyboard. It ejected fine, before iTunes even opened, and I just quit iTunes when it did open. Now it is lifeless, and won't react to or accept inserted media. Please help!
- I've reset the SMC, reset the PRAM/NVRAM
- I've reparied permissions.
- I've opened iTunes and used eject from the menu.
- There is no disk image hiding on the desktop or anywhere else.
I have one cause for hope, and that is the drive is still recognized in system profiler:

An update - I attached a new external superdrive and had the same issue - the drive would not respond when connected to my computer, though it responds fine when attached to my laptop and is listed in the system profiler.

Superdrive won't accept CD.

hello!
I have a problem with my superdrive on macbook.
So, it don't accept disks when it works. But if i turn off the computer and put disk to the drive(as we usually do it - more than half of CD), and turn on computer, it get it in! It take place with strange sounds. And than computer works with that CD normally. But than, if we eject it, it won't accept it again..
in programs such as TOAST TITANIUM i saw that they detect open tray. And can't close it.

I'm sorry to say that my iMac thats worked faultlessly for over a year has now succumbed to this problem, whenever I insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R it spits it right back out, interestingly enough it will accept burnt CD-R's but not DVD-R's (sometimes they get stuck in there and I have to restart to eject it), I have tried all of the "fixes" as stated above including an archive and install of Tiger and booting from my external HD with Panther but to no avail, looks like it was a good call to have an extended Apple Care.
I've searched a lot of threads about this and haven't found a solution I just hope Apple support doesn't try to fob me of about not using Apple blank media like some people have reported.

Why won't Adobe Media Encoder export WMV?

I am using Adobe CS6 Design Standard with Adobe Media Encoder, and I'm trying to export video files to WMV using the Encoder. I'm am running Windows 8 and for some reason the option to export to WMV does not come up for me. I only get four options of formats, while online it says I should have many more. This is a full version of CS6 that I bought and paid for, and every program is up to date.

Can I just buy the converter plugins or do I have to buy premiere pro or after effects?

The formats and codecs available for export through Adobe Media Encoder differ depending on what Adobe applications you have installed. The vast majority depend on the video applications, After Effects or Premiere Pro, being installed.

MCP 15 won't accept dvd/cd anymore

I have an Macbook Pro 15" and it won't accept any DVD or CDs anymore. The issue is both in osx lion and windows xp (bootcamp). It just pushes out the dvd/cd after a few seconds. They're not damaged. I'm trying to install a brand new game right now.
I don't know what have started this issue. I normally don't use this drive, so I have no idea when it first occoured.

It worked!
My superdrive is as good as new. I can read and burn cd/dvd now.

New mac mini won't accept dvd's/cd's in the combo drive

Hello friends:
i have a new mac mini that I bought about 2 months ago (Intel, 2.0 ghz). Everything was working fine until I went to put in a DVD today. The combo drive won't accept a disc. It's not that it won't read the disc, it physically won't suck it into the drive. Instead it just sits there. If I try and push it in, nothing happens... it just bounces back out at me as if pushed by a spring. And, no, there isn't already a disc in the drive.
Can anyone suggest how to get my combo drive to work again?

Hi jrm27,
I have an older Mac Mini 1.66 GHz, but I haven't seen this problem.
I take it that the disc does go in a little way. I would think that that rules out that the drive thinks there's a CD already in the drive. I know that when I have a CD or DVD in the drive, the little doors (they're really there) are closed and won't let me insert a 2nd CD.
I presume that you have restarted your system since this started to occur?
When the system is rebooting, hold down the mouse button. This is supposed to force eject a CD. It might also trick your system into thinking there's no CD there, or resetting something.
Try different types of CDs or DVDs, just to make sure that there's not something screwy with the media that you are using. Try an old-fashioned music CD or something.
Are there any sounds the drive makes?

Premiere won't accept new source files in slightly different formats...

I'm using CS3 (and I installed CS4 and got the same problem). I've created a video using six different source videos that were originally encoded in XVID. I now know that was a bad idea but at the time I didn't know how to convert the video so I went ahead and used them. Now my project crashes to the desktop whenever I open it without any sort of error message.
This is a project that I started over a year ago and I set it aside because I didn't want to deal with the issue, but I really want to finish this project. Now I have a better handle on what sort of codecs work well with premiere and I use Super C to convert the videos to a friendly format and I haven't had any problems with my projects crashing since then.
So now I've revisted the project that is crashing and I have tried converting the original source videos to a more friendly format, but hte problem is, even when I get it to a format that is pretty much exactly the same settings as the original (size, fps, etc) premiere won't accept it. When I open the project and it asks me "Where is the file..." I'll point to the new file and premiere tells me "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match original file's type (audio and video)".. I try this after opening the project by right clicking on the asset and choosing "link media..." but of course I get the same error message.
What i've gotten done in the project is like 10 hours worth of work and it would be a shame to lose all of it just because Premiere is too picky about switching from one media type to another .. what are my options in getting this to work?

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, Xvid is a delivery-only format for delivery-only, but you know that too.
What I would do would be to Open that original Project, and then Offline the original Video. If you named the converted files the same, except for the extension, you should be able to then Import the replacement files and manually replace those. Make sure that when you choose to Offline the Assets, that you do a Save_As, so that the original Project is NOT overwritten - keep it safe.
You might try to Relink from the Project Panel, before you do the Import. I do not know if that will be allowed, due to the extension difference, but that would be the easiest way, if it works. Try that first. With the material Offline, Rt-click on each AV file, and choose Link Media. If you used the same file names, you should be able to find the converted versions. Let us know if this works, or if you get rejected.
Good luck,
Hunt

SuperDrive GA32N won't draw disks

Not sure what happened, but suddenly my Mini won't feed any disks.
I have tried to reset PRAM, and cold booting (removing/inserting power cables). Still won't accept any disks.
Any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? I am running Lion 10.7.4
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA32N:
Firmware Revision: KC12

Hello everybody
Please excuse my poor english language, I'm french and I don't use to write in english.
I have the quite same problem than "Rayray519": I have got a Mac Mini, year 2010.
the superdrive is able to read some disks, but isn't able to burn some "-r" or "-rw" dvd or cd when I want to creat some disks.
Now I am unning under Lion, but when Snow Leopard was on, the problem already existed. The burning job always begin, but after a few seconds, it stop with an error.
My firmware revision is KC08
Thanks a lot for responding at my questions: how can I do for upgrading the firmware (is it interesting to do it)? or do you thing about an hard problem on superdrive?
Regards,

Premiere 12 won't load media

Why won't my premiere 12 add some videos from my digital camera but will load other videos from the same camera?

We have Windows 8.1. My camera puts out MTS video, but it fails with these as well as MPG video that I convert. I've always been able to hit add media and highlight several sources and they would load for the project. Now I'm lucky if one will load. I am adding video files to the project. I press add media. I choose the files and folder option and then I see my videos listed. I highlight one and the add media box showing the video loading appears. At this point about 90 % of the time it seems to freeze and show no progress on getting the clip over. I have walked away and given it over an hour and yet nothing loads. I will then hit cancel. At this time I get a message that it is not responding and the program crashes. So I begin again and try one video file at a time and it will work for a couple and then crash. I'm caught in a perpetual cycle. I'm not loading huge videos. I have been adding two and three second clips.
Thanks,TLB

New MBP... won't accept CD-RW (high speed 24x)

Can anyone advise why my new MBP won't accept Memorex high speed CD-RWs... (24x) in fact, it's not the high speed issue bcuz I've tried a regular 4x CD-RW and it won't accept it either...
The error message is simply, your drive can not red this disk - then offers options to ignore or eject...
Any help is appreciated... Thanks in advance

Have you tried using other brands of CD-RW media besides Memorex? That would be a good first step to take if you haven't already done so.
Does the disc drive make any funny noises after you insert the disc or does it sound normal? If the drive sounds normal and reads every other type of media correctly, you may want to repair disk permissions and reboot, via the Disk Utility application. If that has no effect, reboot the computer and reset the SMC if you have to....its an easy process, as shown in this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
In addition, make sure that you have the latest version of the SMC and EFI firmware, directly available from the downloads page here on Apple's support site.
If nothing else works, you could try backing up your files and reinstalling OS X, but I would get on the phone with Apple Support first. Since your computer is new, it shouldn't cost you anything. 90 days of complimentary telephone support come with every new Macintosh.
Good Luck.

Same pc, replacement motherboard installed, won't accept activation

Hi all,
I have adobe installed on my main desktop and a laptop. The desktop recently went for repair and came back with a replacement motherboard (exactly same make/model etc) but now adobe won't accept the activation. I had assumed that after roughly 2 weeks the 'old' activation would stop, like when a hard drive dies. This doesn't appear to be the case however. So I'm left with the same pc but Adobe thinking I have 3 different installations. What to do? Many thanks

Activations cannot just "stop", because the server handling them doesn't know anything about your dead system. Call support by phone and they'll sort it out.

ITunes won't Accept!!!

for some strange reason iTunes won't accept file's whose format suffix is: .rmj, is there a decrypter for this format of file available for download??

Aaron, .rmj files are REAL MEDIA streaming files that are not meant to be 'saved' . . . they do it that way for a copyright reasons, I suppose.
That said, I Googled ".rmj", and a LOT of converters are out there will do what you want. Since I've never used one and since I didn't see any free ones, I won't make a recommendation, ...well, you Google .rmj and you can decide what would be best for your sound needs AND your wallet.
Good luck!

Macbook won't accept CDs

My macbook will burn DVDs fine (I'm actually burning one right now). But for some reason, whenever I insert a CD into the drive, my computer makes a few noises and then spits the CD right back out.
I though maybe if my computer prompted me for a CD maybe it would accept one. So, I tried to burn a playlist from iTunes, and then inserting the CD when it prompted me for a blank disc. Still the same problem - I inserted the CD, iTunes said "checking media," and then the disc came right out (with nothing burned on it).
I'm using CD-Rs that say TDK on them (if that helps). They work fine on my parent's PC, so I'm not sure why they're not working here.
Any help?

We are having very similar problem on a 1.83 GHz Macbook (2006).
The mac reads DVDs fine (can't write DVDs, it's a CD-burner only), but won't accept CDs, either commercial ones or just burned.
We changed the system (upgrading to fro m10.4.11 to 10.5.3), but no avail, the problem is still there.
We created an empty user and tested the drive with this user, still the same.
The only thing we did not do yet is starting the mac from a CD (I think we'll have to use a Linux CD for that).
Anyone has got an idea out there?
Thanks,

Gas stations won't accept my Mario Kart $10 gas coupon.

Labelflash-Ulead-Won't accept any images

Hi,
I have a Toshiba A305-S6872. The system came with ULEAD Movie Factory 5. I am playing around with the labelflash and trying to make a label on ULEAD. I used the drop down to choose the D: Matish DVD Drive. Then when I try to add an image, it won't accept any image. If I put it on color it just does nothing. But when I click texture and browse to find the image it tells me the image is the wrong format or corrupted. I ahve tried every available image on different media's. I have used pictures from my camera disk, the web, my files, etc. It won't accept anything. I have read the ULEAD manual and can't find any reference to the format. I am trying to make the label without a disk in because I just wanted to get familiar with the software. I haven't found the disk yet. Could that make a difference?
Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Thanks, Lynn

I had the same problem while trying to make a label for my disks. It did not matter if I was using a printer or using labelflash, the ULEAD DVD program would not load images. I searched hours on the support sites for my computer and the software. Finally I found that a service pak fix may be needed for some programs that might be entirely compatible with Vista.
Try:
http://www.ulead.com/spotlight/vista/runme_2.htm
Go to this site and download the appropriate service pak for your version of ULEAD DVD moviemaker. I have a 5.3 version so I downloaded the 5 plus. Now my pictures and images are accepted by the ULEAD program. The entering choices of the program are different so you choose one, such as Audio/Data. Then in the verbstrip Files you can choose label@once to make your disk label.
Hopes this works for you! I'm not a computer geek. Just your average person with a computer!
