What does it mean when my dvd burner does not have a disc in and randomly turns on while surf net

My HP Pavillion desktop with a HP w2207h monitor started randomly playing dvd without a dvd in it. I was just surfing the internet and it turned on spinning with no dvd or cd in it. What does this mean?

The sound you heard could be your hard drive.  It makes a spinning sound like the dvd drive sometimes. Did you notice if the light on the dvd drive came on as well, if not then it was the hard drive making the noise.

  • My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud storage and backup, it says that I have 5.0 GB of total storage and 5.0 GB of available storage.

    My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!

    It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

  • My Netbook that my phone is sync to does not have a cd drive and I want to put my digital copies onto it

    My Netbook that my phone is sync to does not have a cd drive and I want to put my digital copies onto it but I do not know how to, I have a laptop I can put the disks in but I don't know if it will let me copy the file to a flash drive any ideas? also I keep getting this message about updating my media player security and when i go to the site it links to the update button is greyed out and will not allow me to do it

    If you import the CD on your laptop with a disc drive, then you can place the music files on a flash drive and transfer them over to your netbook. You could also choose to email the music files from the disc drive laptop to yourself to download them onto your netbook through your mail account.
    As for your second question, is it windows media player you're trying to update? Try downloading the latest version of WMP to see if that resolves the issue.

  • Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

    Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

    Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with.  The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
    Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac:  http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
    Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website:  http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial   A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers.  A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.

    Been using an Avastor HDX-800 for storage and backup, also a SUPERDISK for smaller stuff; recently the SUPERDISK does not appear on the screen, and the light blinks while you hear it spin, also the Avastor has started to have the same problem, both USB conncected, both worked well before, but both now spinning, blinking, and not showing up on the screen as before,
    Interestingly they both appear in the System Profiler, but just not working the same as before
    I have tried other USB ports, but the same responce,

    yes I did reset the PRAM, but no benefit, still the same problem
    my usb devices are:  keyboard, mouse, printer, SD-USB-M3, and LaCie d2 DVDRW:
    the mouse and printed are plugged into the keyboard: i have tried to move, these around, and have even tried just the mouse, printer and SD-USB-M3, but still the same problem

  • Recently updated to itunes 10.6.1, but during update it says itunes does not have a valid signature and update fails ,now older version is not able to connect to itunes store

    Recently updated to itunes 10.6.1, but during update it says itunes does not have a valid signature and update fails ,now older version is not able to connect to itunes store error 306. I am using windows 7.

    (Apologies for butting in, wha.)
    now older version is not able to connect to itunes store error 306. I am using windows 7.
    If you still get the 306 after updating to 10.6.1.7, perhaps try the following user tip:

  • AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet.

    Wi Fi problems
    I have recently changed from a old netgear router to using a vigor 120 modem with airport extreme
    Internet connection is established but my airport express reports "AirPort does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet." although status is ON and the correct wifi address appears.
    My iPhone also identifies the correct network but cannot connect
    Any suggestions?

    I don't have any phones, so not aware of the options, but on a Mac to fix this problem it'd likely be...
    Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028445#17028445
    Or...
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
    Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
    Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.

  • HT1539 can i add my digital copy to itunes with out using the disk? my netbook does not have a disk drive and i want to add my movie to my ipod can i do it with out the use of the disk and just the code?

    Can I add my digital copy movie to my iTunes with out using the disk, my gateway laptop/netbook does not have a disk drive I have the unused code and everything, I just can't stuck the movie into the computer itself and my desktop computer has no internet on it. Is there a way to add my movie to my iPod touch 2nd generation tuning 4.2.1

    Hiya!
    It depends on what kind of digital copy you have.  This article goes ino details regarding the two types, and depending on the type you have, you may or may not need the DVD to redeem the code.

  • How do I run a script so that the user does not have to click into and out of a read-only calculated numeric field?

    Hi all
    I have a read-only calculated field, and I want to build actions on it, dependent on what the answer to the calculated field is.
    I have used action builder, and it works, but only if the form filler clicks in and out ("exits") the field, which they didn't have to enter in the first place, because it populates as a result of a previous script.
    To be more precise, The questions asked before this field are:
    Date of submission (submitdate):
    Date of event (eventdate):
    Calculation occurs (days between event and submission), and answer is populated in a field called 'daysbetween'
    Now I have a set of conditions:
    If the daysbetween is < or = 14, then I want a message to come up saying ineligible to apply
    If the daysbetween is >14 and < or = 28, then I want a message to come up saying a fast track fee will be applied, and I want the fast track fee box to be populated, and I want the fast track fee box to appear.
    I used the action builder to get all of this to work, except that it only works if the user then clicks in and out of  the 'daysbetween' field, which they shouldn't have to, because it's already calculated for them
    I feel like I have to put this script in an earlier field...but I don't know where - action builder won't let me do it in the 'eventdate' field
    Thanks in advance

    Put a shift register on the border of your loop. Have a case statement that contains the "Get time" function in one case of the case statement. Make that case = 3 and wire the loop iteration to the case selector. Have the time value loaded onto the shift register in the "2" case (interations count from zero), have the shift register passed through on all others ("Default"). Then subtract this time from current to get elapsed time. You probably want to put the subtraction/comparison in a "sub-case" in the "default" that only is valid for interations > 3 or you will get some really ugly "times" until the shift register is loaded, or you could initialize it from outside the loop with the time, but this will cause it to show elapsed times from the beginning that suddenly jump back to a low number after iteration 2.

  • How to re-install Adobe software on new computer which does not have a disc drive? [was: Software Transfer Debacle]

    I just received a new computer for Christmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer the software I installed on my old computer to my new computer. But wait, there's more, my new computer does not have a disk drive. Any ideas?

    Very easy. Tell me what version Photoshop you have and I'll direct you to the proper downloadable installer file.
    Have your serial number ready. You can activate on 2 computers, so don't deactivate the old one until you are updated and sure it works on the new one.
    As a side note: You never copy or transfer Photoshop to a new computer, you have to install.
