T60 DVD CD not seen or recognized - solution found

Had problem on my T60, DVD/CD not recognized and drive shown as problem. Have two T 60s so swapped drives, bad one worked in other T60 so I knew it wasn't hardware, had to be driver?
Found this solution from MicroSoft support web site. Has self activated install and fix. Worked like a champ, got my drive back after 3 months.
Glad I didn't rebuild this operating system like some other have.

Satellite A - DVD drive not seen by Windows Explorer

THe DVD deive on D is not seen by windows explorer. It used to work but has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts up at boot then ceases.
Any ideas anyone?

Try removing the CD/DVD Filters from the Registry.
When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
4) Reboot.
If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
This utility can remove the filters for you:

BB Playbook not connecting's indirect solution found :-D

Hi BB community,
I bought a PB a couple of months ago, and it was working well untill the last OS update.
So here was the problem: BB Playbook recognized by DM but not seen in PC's MY COMPUTER as a drive. If you can't see Playbook as a drive, you won't be able to access your stuff on your PB. I tried everything to solve this but could find any solution or someone who could help me.
So here is a solution I found:
Step1: tap the settins botton located at the very top-right on the PB screen, or you can just swipe it and let it appear.
Step2: Go to Storage and Sharing.
Step3: Set USB connection to Windows or what ever platform you are using, then scroll a bit to the bottom and turn File Sharing "ON" ( IF YOU WANT YOU CAN TORN ON WIFI SHARING AS WELL, TI WILL ALLOW YOU CONNECT YOUR PlayBook WIRELESSLY TO YOUR COMPUTER AFTER THESE INSTRUCTONS, BUT DON"T FORGET TO PROTECT IT WITH A PASSWORD) and remember the password, you will need it at the final steps.
Step4: Turn your WIFI "ON" on the PB, then connect playbook via USB cable. If you don't have USB just Leave the WIFI "ON"on the PB and on your computer as well.
Step5: Now, Open MY COMPUTER on your PC, then click on "Map network Drive" located at the top-right corner of the MY COMPUTER window.
Step6: You should now have the "Map network Drive" window open. Now, Select a drive Letter you prefere. It is normally on drive "Z". You can (Should) leave it on this letter if you want.
Step7: Now click on : "Browse" botton and a little window should pop up, you will see your Computer's name in the little window and.now wait a bit so that your computer can search and find your Playbook's name too ( If you don't know how to recognize your Playbook name, swipe your tablet on, click on the settings botton again, tap on "storage & Sharing", Now tap on "Properties" and you should have both the "Username" and your tablets name there) and Please remember your username, because you're going to need it for the other step
Step8: When you see your Playbook's name, double click on it, and now double click on "media". another small window will pop up, asking for a username and a password: Username is the one I asked you to remember on the previous step. The password is password you set on your Playbook to protect your WiFi Sharing( remember I asked you at step3 to protect the wifi sharing with a password?. It is that same password). Only you know it. If you don't remember this, you should try to find what this password is. If you can't find it, you can stop right here and go on with life or try different passwords you use, you might get lucky...lol. or if you did not put a password for the Wifi file sharing then you can leave the password section on the window blank.
Step9: If username and/or password are correct, you should see the folders of your PB accessed. Now close all the windows on your Computer screen. now, Open MY COMPUTER, and your new drive "Z" is ready to use if you follwed all my steps carefully. You can use either the USB cable or the playbook's wifi connected to your computer do delete, add and transfer files between your computer and your Tablet. If this was helpful, please leave a like. Thanks :-)
If you need any help, if you need computer remote assistance. i will help you if I have the time.
Thanks

If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

CD/DVD drive not recognized in hp pavilion dv6500

I have a problem with my CD/DVD drive.
My hp pavilion dv6500 laptop is not recognize the drive, dos not show up in the device manager, I right click on the IDE adapters to scan for changes, I hold down the F9 to see the start up order of the drives it’s OK accordingly to factory settings and I would like to ask some one help or advice what to do. My cd/dvd drive was working when I installed the new operating system from the CD on the new WD SATA hard drive. I have not portioned the new HD during installation of the OS because I need all the space on the HD. When I checked the drive letters I only have seen a C drive. Missing the call letter for the CD/DVD drive ‘example E’ for the cd/dvd drive.
The commuter is running great now, but I using an external HP CD drive to install all my software. I using the Driver Detective software to trying to detect the cd/dvd drive, but it’s useless. I do hear the drive when I put in a CD or DVD it is connected to the internal power source, but not been seen or recognized. If any one can help I would be very grateful. [text removed for privacy]

Hi,
You could try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
If the above fix hasn't worked, try the following. From the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Click to open the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers. Right click on the first channel and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When uninstalled repeat the process for each channel. Also if an ATA controller is listed, right click and uninstall this. Again, do not delete drivers if asked.
Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. If your optical drive appears here, right click and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked.
Restart your PC and let Windows re-install these devices. Give it a minute or two, then see if the drive is working.
Let me know how it goes.
Best wishes,

Original DVD does not get recognized

Hi,
My original DVD's were no longer recognized. CD's and DVD's burned by me all work ok.
I think the error must be due to a malfunction of HAL because the DVD.
I lost the weekend searching in google and trying solutions I've seen in the forum, but I had no luck
Does anyone else has had this problem?
notes:
I try this but nothing:

I have installed libdvdcss and libdvdread, everything worked fine, but after an upgrade the notebook failed to recognize the original DVD's.
When I insert a DVD(only with original's) the reader spin but nothing happens, there is not even new dmesg output. This makes me think there must be a error with hal.

Hi,
It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, open Device Manager, right click the DVD drive and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows rediscover the device and check.

Dvd are not recognized

Hi there
in many communities iMac users report the same problem I have, but no clear solution found so far.
My specs:
- iMac 27" (from mid 2010)
- 3.2 Ghz Intel Core i3
OS: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
DVD-ROM OPTIARC
DVD RW AD-5680H, Revision: 3AHB
Issue:
- Many original DVD's are not recognized anymore...since a few weeks, before almolst no DVD was rejected.
-> It seems the more DVD's I try, the less my iMac can read....
No configuration changes, I've only made the regular oficial updates coming from Apple.
Any solution ideas, but cleaning the lenses? Much apreciated!

Have you tried a lens cleaning disk. One that uses dry brushes and no liquids? Have you looked into the OS X Mavericks: Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test?

DVD 1270 not being seen in xp to install at start up windows 7

DVD 1270 not being seen at startup in xp to install windows 7. Boot order works - the machine sees a cd but not a dvd. Installed latest driver for lightscribe from this site. Also tried two other dvds - one a hp 1160 which works on another machine it sees the dvd on other machine running w7 but not on this new one - ASUS mthrbd P867-M Le. ASUS says it is the DVD and to try another. Seems like it may be a config issue. Any ideas? Thanks

Well, if the drive is good, then try a different SATA port. It might be that the OS is looking for the drive per the BIOS and it is not on the SATA 0 port. BTW: Does this motherboard have 6GB SATA ports? Do not use them for DVD drive.

CD/DVD Drive Not Recognized

I have a Dell Laptop with Vista. After installing iTunes the CD/DVD drive is no longer recognized by the computor. I have to remove the upper filter for the CD/DVD drive using 'regedit', reboot the computor and the drive is recognized again. But, iTunes now gives an error with the CD/DVD drive and needs to be re-installed.
I have installed all updates for Vista, Dell support says it's an iTunes problem.
Any Ideas. Would like to import CD's into iTune and not have any errors.

Hello Bob,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communites.
If your optical drive is no longer recognized after installing iTunes, you can try the steps in this article to resolve the issue:

DVD drive not recognized, then all out crash. HELP!

I was watching a DVD, and then I got an email notification which caused the DVD player to freak out and freeze. I restarted the computer to find out that the DVD drive was no longer recognized. Restarted a couple more times...no luck. Now's I've got a DVD stuck in there. So I open up the computer to make sure all the wires are connected. I push the power button AND NOTHINGG! The little power light goes on for about 5 seconds, then turns off. All I hear is a small 'click'. I tried a couple methods to fix it, and only succeeded in getting the DVD drive to spin, but no power in the computer itself. And now it's back to light/'click'/nothing. Am I beyond help here? Do I need a new computer? I'm so stressed out!
Oh and if it comes down to needing a new mac, what would everyone suggest I get besides a mini. I am thinking of a macbook pro, but the price is way high for my funds right now. I also like the imac, but my concern on that is whether or not you can upgrade it after the fact.

I took my mac in to the store to find out the logic board crashed on me. Way too expensive to fix since it's about the same cost as the mini itself. I'm just going to buy a new macbook. (I realize I'm spending more than it would to get a new logicbaord, but I want a new laptop!)

HT5639 after The Boot Camp for Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

after i made The Boot Camp Setup for running Microsoft Windows 8? DVD Drive Not Recognized or Reading CD/DVD

thanks for the response
1. Yeah I thought that's a mandatory thing because i need to be able to control the brightness with my keyboard, updated graphics card, boot camp control panel, etc
2. No there's no enable for this because Windows 8 recognizes it as a "disconnected device" and asks me to reconnect the dvd drive to the machine (which it obviously already is).
3. Ive tried those before, also even editing the registry but it didnt work.
It's weird because it never happened before on Snow Leopard » Lion bootcamp driver updates. Just in Mountain Lion

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
