TS2839 how do i fix my dvd drive on macbook pro.  it is not accepting or taking in any cd/dvd's

Trying to install OS in my macbook pro.  DVD/CD drive is not letting or accepting the cd.   I could put it in 1/3, but the macbook does not take it in.  It seems something is stuck.  I checked to see if any cd is in there and even tried rebooting and holding down the trackpad to see if something ejects.   Please help. 

You are going to have to take in for service, either at an Apple Store or a Service Provider. The slot-loading ultrathin drives in these Macs are somewhat fragile. Unless something is physically stuck inside, like a small diameter or irregularly shaped CD, there's a good chance that a part may be bent or damaged.
Here's additional info on CD/DVD issues and how to deal with them, but I wouldn't hold my breath: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2801

  • HT2499 Hi. When I inserted the DVD into my Macbook Pro I could not play because it required to choose region????? So I could not make it. If you have any idea please let me know. Many thanks.

    how do i fix line through bluetooth on macbook pro

    Howdy tayden44,
    If you are having an issue with a jagged line throught the bluetooth icon in your menu bar, you should restart your Mac. If the icon does not change, disconnect all USB devices and restart again. See this article for reference -
    Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions - Apple Support
    In particular the section titled What do the icons on the Bluetooth menu bar mean?
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I fix a Configuration Error on MacBook Pro?

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 8 gigs of memory. I was running CS6 and my video board went out. I got it fixed but lost all my data on my hard drive. So I tried installing cs6 from a disk image that I had saved and after entering the serial code I received that my license was revoked. That could be true since I was at another company when I purchased it. Now I'm trying out the TRIAL Adobe cloud solution and after installing and getting updates, when i clicked on the app I get a configuration error when trying to open the . Do I need to delete some library items that are conflicting when I tried to install CS6?
    Here is the error:

  • How to partition already partitioned hard drive on Macbook pro 10.9.4

    Hello
    I have a macbook pro. I partitioned the hard drive before and installed windows 7. Now the hard disk size of windows is getting full. So I need to shrink the windows part.
    I tried to partition it again but bootcamp disappears. I have deleted the 3rd partitioned I created so that the bootcamp ca work.
    How do I shrink mac os harddrive to add to bootcamp?

    You have royally screwed things up. The only way to fix it is to repartition the entire drive back to a single volume. If you use Boot Camp then you cannot make additional partitions. There can only be two - OS X and Windows.
    You may be able to straighten things out using iPartition 3.4.5 and/or Camptune X 10.4.

  • Wireless use of pc DVD drive by MacBook pro

    Can you use the DVD player in your pc remotely from your MacBook pro please? I have read that this is possible somewhere but can't find out how.

    If you need an optical drive in your computer you can always go with a model that has them built in. Or if you go for a Retina-display model, you can always add an Apple external SuperDrive to your order ($79).
    It all depends on what you need.

    I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13'' and lags often. I empty my rubbish bin every time its full, I close programs that are not in use at the moment and even refresh once in a while. For example, I only use Google Chrome and its still lagging even though I dont have any prgrams running. I also checked my stroage to see how much free space I have which is 450.75 GB free. What do I do?

  • How much to fix a dead screen on macbook pro

    So, my friend's family all have macs, and love them, But thursday thier macbook pro screen died, they can still hear the computer running, but the screen is just black, as if it is turned off. So they went out and just bought a new one. It is at least 6 years old, I do not know any model numbers or anything. I am curious in buying it from them, and fixing it, to play with, and learn how macs work, since all I have ever used is windows (Except Ipads and Ipods), since Imacs, and macbooks cost over $1000. I was wondering about how much it would cost to fix it, if anyone has an idea. Also, if it costs too much to fix it, is it possible to hook up an ext

    Take the broken computer to an Apple Store for a free diagnostic test.  Ask the repair tech how much it would cost to fix.  No one here can tell you because we don't know what is wrong with the computer.

  • Possible to swap ibook G4 dvd drive into macbook pro?

    My unibody macbook pro's dvd drive has stopped working. Whenever i put in a dvd in, it just gurgles and tries to churn the disk to no avail. I was wondering if it were possible to harvest the dvd drive out of my old ibook g4 and put it into the macbook pro.

    AFAIK, the drives are of a different height...thus that iBook drive won't fit.

  • Using Apple TV with external DVD drive on Macbook Pro

    I am unable to play DVDs from my external hard drive attached to my Macbook Pro via the Apple TV on my Samsung smart TV. What am I doing wrong. Thanks.

    Thanks for your answer Brian. I am running Yosemite on a 15 inch Macbook Pro. I use a 'super drive'/external DVD player for DVDs. I am trying to play these DVD's that I have purchased on a large screen Samsung Smart TV using my Apple TV. I get sound but no video. I suspect that they cannot be played using Apple TV. Is that correct?

    It is bigger than a dot, true, but on my MBP (2011) it's on the right-hand side next to the optical drive, and I have no tiny dot for ejecting the drive with a paperclip!  Mine looks like this:

  • USB dvd drive for macbook pro retina

    I have recently bought a new MacBook pro and was looking for a good USB DVD drive. The reviews of apples's own super drive have not been very good. Any suggestions of alternate brands that are compatible would be much appreciated.

    That's why I recently purchased the MacBook Pro with the built-in optical drive.
    I've had good luck with the drive below on other Macs.  I see some people in airports with DVD drives duct taped to the bottom of their computers, the drive below may be a little bit to do that but perfectly okay when not traveling.
    They also have a Blu-ray version of this drive is well.

  • Is it available to replace DVD driver in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb?

    I'v external DVD driver and I'd like to replace DVD driver with in MacBook Pro with SSD 512GB Crucial m4 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb.  Is it available? All your opinions are welcome.

    Here is a post from another thread on this problem.
    So here's the deal, don't expect SATA III devices to work on the optical port.  I just went thru this on both my 2009 and 2012 13" MBP's.   The 2009 is SATA II (3Gps) and the 2012 is SATA III (6Gps).   A SATA III SSD (OWC 6G) will only connect at 1.5 Gps on the 2009.  On the 2012, it actually connects at 6 Gps, but every drive I tried crashed (dropped drives, file errors, kernel panics), including a Samsung 830 and  Seagate Momentus XT 750.  Out of desperation, I stuck the (slow 500 Gb) Apple HD in, it connects at 3 Gps and works like a champ.   Check your System Info on SATA info.   If you have a 2009, don't waste your $$$ on high end SSDs or drives.  If you have newer, BEWARE, you're likely to have issues with high end SATA III devices.    On the bright side both Samsung and OCZ V4 work great on the main drive (450 MB/s read) and boots in 10 seconds!!      The optical drive SATA port is a major issue for everyone ( like me ) who buys MBPs because they can trip them out, this is a real nagging issue/obstacle.   This is a firmware issue that needs to be addressed by Apple. I'm hoping for a firmware update and that Apple isn't doing this intentionally.

  • How to change a faulty hard drive on MacBook Pro

    The hard drive on my laptop is failing: overall performance has greatly diminished, the computer has slowed down, sometimes even crashing;  looking at /var/ log messages, plenty of I/O error messages are building up.
    Added to this, the System Information (system report) says that the Hitachi (750 Gb, 7200 rpm, model HTS727575A9E362) SATA drive is failing (S.M.A.R.T. status)
    I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011).
    So, my question: what's the best way to change it for a new hard disk drive, and be sure it's compatible?
    The computer's warranty has already expired, and have no extended coverage....I've been looking around the www for laptop hard drives in Apple retail stores, and can't find any. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    apple doesnt sell hard drives.  Look on newegg.com or macsales.com.  Any 2.5" that is 9.5 mm or less in height will fit.  Here are installation instructions: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+Late+2011+Hard+Drive+Rep lacement/7513
