What to do when Macbook keeps on ejecting the CD/DVD I insert?

I just bought a CD and a DVD. As soon as I got home, I wanted to listen to the CD so got my laptop and insterted it right away. CD was being read (well, based on the "sounds") but seconds after, it'll be ejected. I tried to insert the DVD I got as well and the same thing happened. Google-d some solutions and found the "CMD+OPT+P+R". Tried that one but it didn't work out. Any other ways to fix this?
PS: Got my fingers crossed that this won't have to do with replacing my drive or whatever.

Hello,
I would try resting the SMC first and see if that helps you

    Try zapping PRAM. Hold down the cndopt+RP keys on restart (with the Leopard disk in), and release them after 3 "bongs". Then, immediately hold down the C key.

  • My Macbook Pro always ejects any CDs, DVDs that I insert. How do I remedy this?

    My Macbook Pro always ejects any CDs, DVDs that I insert. How do I remedy this?

    Before taking it for repair, try a drive cleaning disk. They are US$5-15 at most computer, electronics, and office supply stores. Slot-loading drives get dirty and the inexpensive cleaning disk is the logical step before spending a lot of mony.
    Case in point: A friend has an older MacBook Pro and its optical drive had not worked in years. When he took the computer to an AASP for servicing another issue, he asked about replacing the optical drive. The Service Provider said it woul cost US$140 paarts + labor to install a new one--something my friend could not afford at the time.
    I loaned my friend my drive cleaning disk and now his original drive works like it did when new.

    I suspect you are correct.  I would suggest you bring it to a repair facility that may have better diagnostic tools, preferably an Apple store genius bar.

  • What to do when MacBook Pro glitches and freezes, then won't turn on?

    My MBP glitched and froze the other day, so I turned it off and turned it back on and it was fine. A few hours later it glitched and froze again, I turned it off but this time it wouldn't start back up again and it made a beep every 10 seconds when I would try to turn it on. I took it to the Apple Store and the replaced the RAM under warranty. Today, it glitched and froze again but I got it to come back on. I don't know what to do, and it's only a matter of time before it does it again and it won't come back on.

  • My MacBook keeps spitting out CD and DVD or it won't take it at all. What do I do?

    I tired putting a CD in my Mac but it keeps spitting it out. It wouldn't go all the way in either. Sometime it won't even take the CD. What do I do? Its really important.

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Or buy an external optical drive.

  • My new MacBook keeps freezing at the login. What possibly could be the problem?

    I have taken my computer to the store 3 times and the last time left it there for 4 days. Each time it miraculously works and there is no identified problem. I have not put any software on in for two months to see if it was the problem.  It randomly freezes at the login window and have to restart several times.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Are any wired peripherals connected? If so, disconnect them and test.

  • What is wrong when I keep getting "Secure Connection Failed" message?

    Why am I getting the msg "Secure Connection Failed" on most sites I used to be able to access before power outage?

    Rename (or delete) secmod.db (secmod.db.old) and maybe also cert8.db (cert8.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the files.
    The file ''cert8.db'' stores your user certificates, so if you have user certificates then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
    See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
    If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

  • TS1398 What to do when you keep getting the message "Can't Connect to ITunes Store" ?

    This is the second new phone I have had in less than 3 months with this very same problem.  After 3 days of talking to more Apple reps than I can remember, they finally got my replacement phone working last week and now it's back to the very same problem I had to begin with.
    Has anyone else had this problem and how did you manage to get it fixed?

    Brad805,
    Thank you so much for your help.  It must have been the Wi-Fi connection at work because once I got home, the phone was working fine.
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • My macbook keeps freezing with the left side of the screen on the right and the right side of the screen on the left. Help

    My 17-inch early 2011 macbook pro keeps freezing on me.  The freeze usually occurs when I'm importing or exporting pictures, when I stream anything, or If I am watching a dvd.  The left side of the screen shifts to the right and the right side of the screen shifts to the left.  lines also appear on my screen and I can not force quit any open application.  I have not dropped my laptop at all. 
    Mac OSX Lion version 10.7.5
    2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
    I would like to avoid going to the an apple store to fix this problem if possible.  The closest one to me is 40 miles away. 
    Help : )

    If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
    The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
    Good Luck and Best Wishes
