1. Clean the DVD with a microfiber cloth.
2. Clean the optical drive with a commercially available cleaning kit.
3. Reset SMC.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

    Hi Ally,
    You could purchase a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit, or you can try with materials you may already have on hand. Use a credit card, or something similar, and wrap it with an LCD cleaning cloth type product (basically a thin micro-fiber type cloth). Gently slide the "cleaner" in and out a few times in the left side of the optical drive opening. Make sure you can hold onto the cloth so it doesn't get stuck inside the drive. This cleans the lens, which may be all you need.
    For temporary use, try holding the MBP upside down. If there's a gap between the disc and the lens even a tiny bit larger than it should be, holding everything upside down may bring the disc close
    enough for the lens to read it. https://discussions.apple.com/message/15364924#15364924

  • Can someone tell me why my Macbook Pro does not have IDVD?

    Can anyone tell me why my $$$$ Macbook Pro does not have IDVD? I when to do an IMovie and media shared to IDVD and me computer could not locate. I thought that all Macs have IDVD.  Maybe they forgot it.  I did a search in applications and it said it had no file.  I uploaded the newest IDVD and it told me that I needed IDVD it was not on my computer. Something is wrong with this

    iDVD has not been available with iLife since the upgrade to Lion. It is no longer in production. Try purchasing one of the older iLife '11 boxed set DVDs on Google or eBay.

  • Macbook Pro will not read CD's.

    My Macbook Pro will not read CD's. They have data on them, but they open up as blank CD's when I insert them into the drive. I know that they are not blank because on another Macbook Pro, they open up just fine. Some CD's will work while others will not. Why would a CD open on another Mac that is just the same?

    I am having a similar problem.
    Mine is a Mid-2009 model that I bought used on Craigslist... and now I notice the problems.
    If I insert a commercial DVD, it spits it out after about 10 seconds. If I insert a burned DVD, it asks me if I'd like to write something to it.

  • HT1338 I can not empty my trash can my MacBook Pro can not save anything because of it.No room available error.what can I do? I also have Windows 7 on  my Mac.

    I can not empty my trash and my MacBook Pro can not save anything because there is no space left".No room available error."what can I do? I also have Windows 7 on  my Mac.

    If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
    Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

  • New MacBook Pro has trouble reading DVD

    Our new MacBook Pro will not automatically open a DVD when it is inserted. Had to go through DVD player and it said it did not recognize format. Had to manually select the app for it to play. DVD player is 5.1.1. Is this a bug? Linda

    One DVD or all? Commercial DVD? One you burned? One you found lying on the street? More details would help...
    Assuming you mean this occurs with multiple (all) commercial DVD movies, go to System Preferences > CDs & DVDs and set the 'When you insert a video DVD:' pop-up menu to Open DVD Player.
