frjoe,
A few suggestions:
-Here is an tech article dealing with CDs and optical drives:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58382
-Your optical drive will not read CD-RWs so make sure it is a CD-R.
Since you are in the G3 Discussions, I would head over to the Older Hardware > Older Powerbooks for additional help if necessary:

  • I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?

    I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?
    I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
    Thanks so much!

    To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
    For an admin password:
    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you cannot do the above then try this:
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
         you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
         then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
    Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
       1. Type fsck -fy
       2. Type mount -uw /
       3. Type passwd <username>
    I have never tried this method myself.

    Where are you located? Many Middle Eastern countries have removed functionality from Facetime. If you are not located there, then you need to go to Settings, Facetime and make sure it is turned on and activated. Check this support document for help in that manner http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268.
    If it  is turned on and you need to troubleshoot just using it, check this one http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367

  • DVD/CD rom drive reads CD's but does not read DVD's

    i m having a problem in my laptop satellite c855d-s5106
    my laptop's DVD ROM (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT80N) reads CDs but when I insert a DVD in it,  it doesn't even recognize that there is a DVD inside. my dvd indicator light blinks for just about 8-12 seconds and when i double click to E: (DVD drive) it says please insert a disk into Drive E: Also there are no error massages.
    and i 've tried many things like registry cleaning, reinstalling drivers even upgraded my windows 8 to 8.1 but the fault is same
    also could anyone provide me the firmware (update file) for HL-DT-ST GT80N  
    any help will be appriciated  
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Called them and went through a BIOS reset and did not fix.  One DVD-ROM will read another will not.  One right out of the box in pristene condition won't read, another that has been used and has some scratches won't.  Started talking a factory reset which is not an option at this time because of all the work related stuff and setup.  Said she was kicking it up a level but they were all tied up and I have to call back.  Case number 20140506452110.
    Again, you close the door, it tries to spin up then spins down, then it tries again and spins down and nothing.  In file manager the drive is shown but no disc lable and when try to open get the "please insert a disc into drive e:" message.

  • I am having trouble setting up my time capsule...it connects but does not read my ethernet internet connection...linksys works fine...help please.

    I have the same issue.  I spent 45 min on the phone with cable company internet tech, he could not figure it out.  He was able to see the TC receive an IP address, but I was not able to access the internet, even though I had a green light on TC and my wireless network was working.  I thinks it is an Apple issue. I removed my new TC, reconnected my Netgear wireless and eveything is back to normal.
    I hope Apple or someone has an answer.
    Same response to you.. test by ethernet if you haven't already.. and your arrangement is not too difficult.
    I am guessing you got into the TC to set it up? How?
    If the computer does not receive the correct gateway and dns address you will be able to get access to the TC but not the internet. Check the network settings. Compare what you get when connected via the Netgear which is working with the TC which is not working.
    You might be able to get around it by manually setting IP address.
    Please make sure you have cable modem plugged into WAN port.. Apple's label is not exactly clear.  but the WAN port is slightly separate from the others. And has a different symbol.
    I also bet you have Lion on the computer.

  • My MacBook Pro accepts the DVD but does not read it ( no icon too )- I cant eject it too!!

    Hi,
    I have a MBP 8.2. My MBP accepted a DVD in but after some whirring noises, it does not show any DVD icon or read the DVD. I checked to see if i could see the icon in My diskUtility; but it isnt shown there. I opened iDVD and checked if i could open a new project,; it asks me to insert a DVD. So apparently it doesnt know there's a DVd in it.
    I tried restarting while pressing the trackpad button, but it doesnt work . I think Ive tried almost all the tricks mentioned on every site. I dont want to do the Card trick as it would make my warranty void. I should also probably mention there is no emergency eject hole.
    Please HELP! Is there any other way to get the CD out? . Also would upgrading to Lion help with this problem??

    Have you tried to enter in Terminal (in the Utilities folder):
    drutil eject
    and then press the 'return' key.
    If that fails, position the MBP where gravity is your friend, shake it a bit with a vacuum cleaner engaged.
    Last resort is the Apple store.
    Ciao.
    Installing Lion will not solve this problem.

  • Windows x64: install went fine but will not read from write to any ipod

    Quicktimes 7.0.4 and the latest version of Itunes is installed and everything has worked fine other than I can not add any music to any of the three ipods that i have at my house(Pretty Big Freakin Problem). I have read previous posts and understand that apple posted that itunes does not support x64, but does anyone have any idea if there will ever be a supported version? Or should I just sell or get rid of my ipods? The apple post doesn't even say if they are going to work on this upgrade. Any help in solving this issue or letting me know if this is just a dead end, would be greatly appreciated.

    In the PSE 12 folder, double click on the Setup.exe
    If you get this, just click on Ignore

  • Why my self-signed applet could not read local disk but could write?

    I used a self-signed certificate for the applet yesterday and it worked
    fine at the beginning time, that is, it could write/read file to/from
    local disk, and it could connect to other MDS servers. But later, a
    problem happens. It could write file to local disk(I tested it and created
    files to C:/ under windows) but when it try to read that file, it got a
    io acessing exception. It could connect to other servers. I am puzzled
    about this problem, and I wonder why I could write but could not
    read. Need I deal with any policy file issue here?

    hi,
    i 'am doing something which is similar to the stuff ur doing .I wanted to write into file on the local disk on which the applet is running.for this i have signed the applet .do i need to make it self signed wat is difference between the self signed and signed applet .The problem which i facing is that it still gives me the security exception even if i define the policy file for that applet............Can u help me reagrding this
    Thanks in advance
    your great help would be apprecriated

  • Superdrive has full DVD function but will not burn or recognize CD's

    OK folks here goes... When I bought the machine it came with a combo-drive (it was new on a close-out deal, G5's had just come out) and I promptly purchased a Pioneer DVR-105, installed it in the top bay and moved the combo to the bottom. The bottom never burned anything (read CD's & music CD's fine) but that was OK the top was great burned and read everything.
    I had lost all burning function through 10.4.* so I replaced the drive with a Pioneer DVR-112D and regained sporadic burning and reading function, of CD's and DVD's, and the bottom bay was unrecognized.
    Fast forward to 10.5 the DVR-112D, recognizes, reads & writes DVD's (haven't tried the DL's yet) but will not read or write CD's or music CD's burned or otherwise. It sounds like it is trying to read and after a long while spits the tray out.
    System profiler seems to recognize and bless the drive with the full litany of burning capabilities, and I'm at a loss. I recently put the DVR-105 back in the bay and it was working in the same capacity. I switched back because the 112 is much more capable.
    Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks............. Perry

    When you moved the original drive to the lower bay, you must change the drive jumper from Master to Slave, failing to do so will likely render the drive unusable as the system cannot "see" it. Try reset the jumper on the back of the drive, and perhaps you can use that for CD's..
    Like Perryb, I want to install a Pioneer DVD superdrive into my G4 (in my case a 115D) and was going to place it in the Zip drive bay. Thus two questions:
    1 Can the new drive be placed as the lower drive or do I have to move the combo drive down and place it as the upper drive?
    2 If I do move the combo down, where can I find the information about resetting the jumper from master to slave? (The profiler identifes the ATA drives as Combo = 0 and Zip = 1)
    3 Do I have to set anything on the new superdrive before installation?
    Thanks,
    George
