Updated to Mavericks:cd/dvd drive no longer works since update. How do I fix this?

I updated my macbook pro with the Mavericks update last week. Since then, my cd/dvd drive no longer works.
It worked until I did the update. How do I fix this? Can I delete the update and if so how do I do that? or
is thiere a fix for this?

1. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222

Best.

    After recently installing itunes on my new PC running windows 8, the CD/DVD drives no longer works, gives a code 19 message. Seems itunes is impacting the registry of the DVD drive. What is best solution to keep running itunes normally in the future & get the CD/DVD drive working again? if I delete the upper / lower registry keys what other functions are impacted? I see others say itunes asks for a reinstall...then same problem all over again! THX

  • I have a problem with my ipad. I can make online documentation before but when I updated my iOS, I can't longer make notes. How can I fix this problem?

    I have a problem with my ipad. Before I can make online documentation but when I updated my iOS, I can no longer make notes. How can I fix this?

    What does "online documentation" mean exactly?  Are you using the Notes app to try to create notes in iCloud, for example?
    If so, that should still work in iOS 7.1.
    If not, please tell us specific symptoms of what is (or is not) happening.

  • After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    Okay, update on my previous message:
    I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
    This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
    So my solution is:
    1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
    2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
    3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
    4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
    It worked for me.

    What I know is that the phone worked perfectly fine until I upgraded the software. I've tried resetting the network settings to no avail. I've shut the phone off, put it in a ziplock baggie and then into the freezer for 15 minutes. This made the wifi work temporarily but then it goes back to being grayed out. The wifi does not work at other wifi sites away from my home as well. Seems like an apple issue to me and would appreciate someone coming up with a fix, apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. Thanks for replying to my query, any ideas?
    It's likely a hardware issue.  The iOS will not directly cause this issue.
    Use this article first:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1559
    If that fails to resolve it, then try setting it up as new and testing again.
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
    If the issue remains even after set up as new, it's a hardware problem, not a software problem.  You'll need to contact Apple for you hardware service options.  If within warranty it should be free.  If not, expect to pay $149 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4, $199 USD + tax if it's an iPhone 4S.

    Apologies for the slightly pedantic answer, but in application terms, "closed" and "quit" are two different things. An application such as Safari can have several windows open, and each of them can be closed using the red button in the corner.
    However, even after all windows are closed, the application is still running until you specifically quit it. You can tell it's still running by the small light under its icon in the Dock. If you hold your cursor down on the icon for a few seconds, you should see a pop up menu with the "Quit" option - click that to quit it. Or, click the icon once (this may launch a new window), then either go to the Safari menu and click Quit, or click cmd-Q, to completely quit the app.

  • HT1723 Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?

    Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?
    I've had my mac for less than a month and for the first time I put in a disc. I can hear a laser sort of noise as well as the disc flapping about or a motor sort of sound? Sounds really bad to me :/
    Someone please help!

    Sounds like a hardware issue.
    Did you buy the system from Apple? If so how recent is recent?  If it is new you have 14 days to return it, not sure what the situation is with refurb systems. If it is over 14 days you should still have warranty support make an appointment at an Apple Store or contact Apple support.
    If you bought it from someone other then Apple you will need to contact them.
    good luck

    Hello, @jcrev 
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that the notebook isn't seeing the CD/DVD driver correctly. I will attempt to assist you with this issue.
    As you've completed the Windows document with no results, I cannot guarantee this will help, but recommend reading it over to see if anything differs: CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8).
    If nothing differs or the document does not resolve the issue, then you may want to contact phone support for repair/replacement options.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html
