Why won't Lion detect my installation disc?

I just got a brand new 15-inch MBP and went to install Logic Studio and the disc doesn't show up anywhere.  Anyone able to offer any advice?  Thanks!

Duh.  I had VMWare running and my CD drive was dedicated to Windows.  I shut down the drive on VMW and it fixed the problem instantly.

  • Why won't Lion let me revert to Snow Leopard?

    "Late 2006" 17 inch iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram, and plenty of space.  Mac OS 10.6.8 fully updated at the time Lion was released.
    Lion won't allow me to run several "must have" apps, so I want to revert to Snow Leopard.  I have a perfectly good Snow Leopard disc (installed once, returned immediately to its original package, and tucked inside a clean cabinet).  I try to restore from Time Machine as described in the Apple article "Reverting to a previous Mac OS X version".  Step one, insert the Mac OS X installation disc.
    I insert my perfectly mint condition Snow Leopard disc.  It spins, then ejects.  Lion does not eject any of my other discs, including discs for apps that Lion claims are PowerPC apps.  Can anyone help?

    This is a very valid point.
    I have two SL disks, a grey one that came with my iMac and a retail one I purchased for the rest of the family.
    In trying to create a partition and install SL on a lion machine, the retail one did not work on the iMac, even thought it loaded on my sons older iMac.  When I tried the Grey Disk that came with the iMac, it worked first time. I wasted about 6 hours trying to work this out!!
    Hope this helps!
    Regards

    If not, burn an AudioCD.

  • Why won't Lion include e-mail attachments?

    Help!!  Lion won't include e-mail attachments.  Does anybody know of a fix for this?

    Please be more descriptive, it works perfectly fine on both of my Lion machines so it's probably something you aren't doing. Please describe in detail so you're painting a picture for us. An example of a screen shot of an email that has an attachment would be helpful.

  • Why won't Encore burn a bluray disc?

    I successfully burned my Pr5 project to dvd. To burn a bluray, I did file>export media. Set  the file= mpeg2 bluray. preset= match attributes,quality 4 . I Checked " render max bit depth and max render quality" and exported. Then I opened encore, established a new project, and imported the sound file as an "asset" and the movie file as a "timeline. . Then dragged the sound file to the timeline. In project settings, I set bit rate to 30because the original was 50. I start the build and the graph shows its transcoding and writing data. when the data graph goes to 100% an error message says" device not ready,code 3, as_storage error= 97060". Total data is 16.5 gigs. I tried 3 separate Verbatim BD-R type LTH discs and got the same result. It's a new LG bluray burner.
    1. Is the disc not being recognized?
    2. By the way, why  does the Encore project setting default to a screen dimension of 1440x1080 even thou the origiinal footage is 1920x1080?

  • Why won't Lion open my apple works documents?

    Actually I think I know why-- they want me to buy something wlse. I'm sure many others are coming to the same revelation. I just bought a new Mac Mini (Lion) after 6+ years on Tiger-- upgraded to 10.4.11. After importing all my data I find that I can't access my .cwk files, nor my .ppt files that I was running with MS Word for Mac. I did a lot of poster art work on the Drawing panels of Apple Works as well. They seem to make quite a deal out of the "Font Book App, but just where am I supposed to use it? Don't get me started..........

    Lion does not support PPC apps. It is a good idea to check compatibility before any upgrade.

  • MSI 6380 RAM Question....Why won't it detect?!!?

    Hi all,
    I currently have 2 x 256 mb PC2700 DDR sticks (double sided) in my MSI 6380 mobo. I went out and bought myself another double sided stick today and the damn board won't detect the extra stick for love nor money  :(
    I know the stick works as it reads fine in other slots. MY brother has told me that some motherboards just don't like having 3 sticks. Is this true of the 6380?
    If so is there any work around?
    Many thanks

    Try running memtest on the new stick you just bought.  It runs under dos so you won't have to worry about only 256 with windows.  Take the old two out and test it by itself.  You might have just gotten a rotten dimm.  Another thing you could try is putting it in another slot.  Your third dimm slot could be bad.

  • Why won't the X Mavericks installer recognize my admin password?

    The X Mavericks installer continues to reject my admin password, here are the actions I've taken:
    Downloaded the Mavericks Update (3 separate times)
    Reset Master Password
    Changed/Reset Admin Password several times
    Verified all passwords in keychain
    Verified and Repaired disk permissions
    I've never had this happen before and I'm at a loss. I'm REALLY hoping I can avoid creating a boot disk and doing a clean install... but that's the only other thing I can think to do.
    Any help is HUGELY appreciated.

  • Why won't video play from external disc drive?

I have a DVD course for work and I can pull up the outline and study guides, but when I go to play there video portion, I get a black screen with controls, but can't get the video portion to play. Anyone have ideas?

  • Why won't iTunes detect my iPod Nano in the Source Panel?

    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and the problem is that my iPod Nano (4th generation) is showing up on the desktop, but not in the iTunes Source Panel. As a result, I can't sync any new songs to my Nano or make any changes to its settings. It had been working perfectly for 14 months on both iTunes 8 and 9. I'm positive that the source of the problem is either the computer itself or iTunes because my iPod works on any other computer that I've tried. We have two other iPods in the house (both iPod Shuffle) and they're both showing up in iTunes without any trouble. I have tried every suggestion on the iPod troubleshooting pages (reseting, reinstalling iTunes, putting into disk mode, updating software, different USB ports, new USB cable...) and none of this works. I even took the iPod to the Apple Retail Store and the best advice they could give me was to replace the iPod. Needless to say, I'd rather not do this since the iPod is working perfectly on its own and on any other Mac that I've tried.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    However, what iOS is on the iPod? If you have iOS 4.1 ( I think) or 4.2 then you need iTunes 10.x that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
