Superdrive ejecting discs after few seconds ...

Hi,
Everthing worked well for 5 months ... After last update of the Tiger to 10.4.5 I have noticed that whatever type of disc I insert superdrive is ejecting it after few seconds. I've tried CD Audio , DVD's ever Tiger installation discs .. all were ejected after few seconds ...
Do you have any ideas what may be wrong ?
it's strange ???
Kind Regards
Ralph

hi ralph--
i would try various things for this. first i would boot to open firmware holding apple-option-o-f and then type in the following commands--
reset-nvram (hit return)
set-defaults (hit return)
reset-all (hit return)
the last command restarts the computer. if that does nothing, then try an smu reset, which is quite simple for your model of computer. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446. also, install any available firmware updates for your computer. they are available on this page. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303903 if that doesn't do anything, then i would try disk repair http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672. and if that fails, then i would try the archive and install http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120. but if you archive, make sure you repair the disk beforehand, and do software updates after. i would not archive and install without go through the other troubleshooting steps. hope this solves your problem.

How far should SuperDrive eject discs?

How far does your SuperDrive eject discs?
The one on my MBP Core 2 Duo 17" 2.33 GHz ejects recordable discs only about 1-3/8 in, which makes it impossible to remove them without touching the top or bottom surface. My newer MBP Core 2 Duo 17" 3.06 GHz ejects them much farther (about halfway), so they can be handled by the edges instead.
The problem doesn't occur with commercially pressed installation discs, only with discs I use to record on (Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD+R, Verbatim 8X DVD-R and Taiyo-Yuden 8X CD-R).
This is the second replacement of the drive from AppleCare with the same problem. (At least I think they replaced it a second time. The service record said, "Doesn't eject media" instead of "Doesn't fully eject media," so maybe they tested it and thought it was fine.)
Is this normal behavior? Anyone else seeing this?
Thank you,
David

My MBP 15" doesn't eject very far, but a little more than what your's does (I'd say around 2"). It does ok for me, though.
Do you notice any difference between commercially recorded discs and recordable ones?

Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

Disk Utility will tell you something about it's SMART status:

Hello I have a problem with a Wifi Survey app, this app is from Access Agility, however this app was working fine, but without advise stop of working, I tried to open again, but app be close after few seconds. Every time that I tried to open it, in diagnostic and use create some files, in special one named LatestCrash-WifiSurvey.plist, this one generate an incident identifier E73B0164-CDFA-4E9E-839E-A0C021BD17A2, but this incident identifier change every time that I tried to open, the last incident identifier is: DE600EB3-AB57-4C33-8DE8-71F6788A7441.
After of it, I checked that the app had a new version available for downloading, I took a backup of my ipad and then upgrade this app, but is the same problem, all I want is to save the projects I had in this app, I´m afraid that if I delete this app and re-install it, probably I loss my projects.
Thanks for your help indicating how I can save my projects and see them for example in an iphone for assurance that data is not lost.
Something that called my attention is part of the log that shows a big CPU processing, but the strange thing is I killed all applications.

Acrobat XI Pro automatically closes itself with no messages etc. after few seconds

Greetings all,
I don't know why but my Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.0) automatically closes itself (with no warning, no messages etc.) after few seconds. I installed the AXI as a part of the CS6 Master Collection on my Windows 8 (x64) laptop. Just as suggested at some other posts in the forum:
I checked the "security settings (enhanced)" tab but the protected view option is already off.
I searched for the eula.exe under the "Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0" folder but there is no eula.exe. May it be not present because I installed it as a part of CS6 Master Coll. package?
I am using Eset Endpoint Antivirus as a third party Anti Virus Software.
The problem occurs when:
I open up a pdf file from outlook etc.
I manually open a pdf file from windows explorer
I open adobe acrobat with no file to view
As I mentioned above, I see no error messages or warnings during the closing down. It acts as if I clicked the close button on the top right corner. I know that there are a lot of posts in the forum about this issue, but none of them helped me to solve my problem. I would be glad if you can help me with this problem.
Thanks,

Hey i was having this issue also with Adobe Acrobat pro... it only seemed to be affecting one program that produced PDF output automatically. When the processes finished the PDF is supposed to be displayed and instead it would rapidly flash across the screen and close. THen i would have to hunt for the PDF to review its content. I tried a couple of things like deleting my preferences for acrobat C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0. You might have to show hidden files. In the explorer window select Organize-> Folder and search options-> once that opens view -> check show hidden files, folders and drives. then navigate that path above. Make sure adobe is closed then delete everything in there or move it off to another folder if your worried it will break it further.
That did not fix the problem though. I opened the application and ran my process again same results (adobe closes pdf auttmagically). so i opened adobe acrobat and navigated to Edit -> Preferences -> look under the General tab and click the select default PDF handler and that seemed to fix my problem. I also disabled the enhanced security look further down in that list under security enhanced. then a reboot so it is possible that the enhance security setting was the cause i think i will play with that for a minute to see if it was but i think my issue was the default handling. good luck

I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it?

I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it??

Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

My 2007 intel imac ejects discs within 2 seconds

My 2007 intel imac ejects discs within 2 seconds. The last time I used my disc hardware was to install software for a new Cannon all in one. It worked perfectly. I have tried many discs including one movie made on this same machine. Pleease help me troubleshoot before I have to transport my computer to the Apple store. Thank you in advance.

It could be that the laser has dust on it; a laser cleaning disk is available at stores which specialize in audio and video- BestBuy, or OfficeDepot would be a place to start. Run a cleaning session to see how that plays out. It could be the optical drive itself. The best approach is first to try steps that do not involve transporting your iMac as you indicate.

For powersaving I use tlp and I have this device blacklisted, so it shouldn't be the cause. And the autosuspend for USB is set to 2000s. I tried to google but nothing helps.
Thanks
Edit: It was because of two bad cables, the third one works. Sorry

First, connect it to another computer and try a differnet video connection. THis will tell you if the computer is doing something to contribute to teh problem...a.k.a. sending a sleep signal. If it still does not work and exhibits the same behaviour, then I am inclined to think that the backdisplay charging system (the inverter board) is not working correctly... that is, a capacitor(s) has failed.

Hi members & mvp's
I face same problem, after creating Adobe ID and after installing Creative Cloud app, the installed Ps and Lr can't be launched... Lr at all, no action, but Ps works for a few seconds. I could achieve "system info" from help menu as follows:

I guess my PC is powered enough, but I'm afraid other trial versions and registry rubbish are locking CC server communication. Do you know some tool to clean up previous installation of Adobe products?
Thanks in advance!

IPod Touch frozzen after few seconds of activity

Hi Everyone,
While my WiFi connection is active (attached or not on any WiFi spot) after few seconds of activity my touch screen don't regognized my finger's movements, only the menu button is working. I must wait the screen saver for using my iPod. I have restored the software three times since I bought it last week but nothing change. If I turn off my WiFi connection it's working better.
Have you discover the same problem ? Is the processor too slowly or the WiFi card ?
Thank you for your help !

I,ve used mine for 3 days (with periods of instant freezes)and now it's is totally frozen. Touch screen just won't work. I've notice some association with the wi fi use and the instant frozen state. But now I cant do anything with the Ipod.
I'll keep looking for answers and fixes
Anything you find, please let know and I'll do the same for you.

TA21328 youtube videos stop playing after few seconds

While watching videos on youtube, sometimes the videos are stopping or freezing after few seconds of play. How can I fix this?

If you have a slower connection and try to watch hd then your computer won't be able to keep up. Could that be the problem? If it is, just click on the quality wheel, and watch at a lower quality, say 480.
