Why won't my CDs/DVDs play any more!?!?

Hi knowledgeable and helpful peeps here's a problem for you... my CD drive suddenly seems to have stopped working. It seems to coincide with the latest iTunes update. Used to work fine before, was able to rip CDs with no problems. Now it won't work! Looking at the device properties for the drive it still says 'this device is working properly' (when it clearly aint!) When I put a CD in, the light flashes and every so often the cursor changes to a little cd icon then changes back to normal, and ultimately nothing happens! They're not recognised in iTunes or any other media player. I ran the CD diagnostics in iTunes and here's what it said:-
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)
Time Computers P4M266-8235
iTunes 6.0.5.20
CD Driver 2.0.4.3
CD Driver DLL 2.0.3.2
LowerFilters: PxHelp20 (2.0.0.0), Pfc (2.5.0.204),
UpperFilters: GEARAspiWDM (2.0.4.3),

Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Drive is empty.
But there IS a CD in the drive! Can anyone help? I'm not very knowledgeable about PC's but have tried all the troubleshooting/help programs on Windows with no luck. So frustrating! It just seems to have happened since getting the latest update of iTunes, but maybe thats just a coincidence. I've had the pc for about 18 months and have encountered no problems like this before. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Well what your describing isn't really a itunes issue, its more an issue with either "The System or windows" OR its a issue with the drive itself.
You need to see if windows can read from the drive by putting a CD in the drive, then going to "My COmputer" and clicking on the drives icon or rightclickthing the icon/drive and selecting "Open"
Also goto the PC makers site and install BIOS, chipset and CD ROM FIrmware updates

Why won't my OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A burn to DVD-R?

Why won't my OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A burn to DVD-R?

Ahh...but it may. you could try the following-change the brand of blank DVD-R you use. Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden are good, maxell, maybe, Sony, and TDK not so much. Also, see if cleaning the drive's lens helps, as may repairing permissions. Could be that your drive is starting to fail. replacement may be an option, and not that expensive. Really, any ATAPI dvd burner will work as a replacement (in a pinch), just make sure to set the jumper the same way as the Optiarc (master, I think),. if using two, then cable select
HOpe this helps

Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

Hi,
It may be worth trying another burning application to see if this helps the issue.
Download and install the free utility, ImgBurn and use this to create the DVD. Guides on using this to burn to single layer and dual layer discs are below.

Burned dvd plays on Mac but not on player

my burned dvd plays on my Mac with no problems but on my dvd player, it just stops after 3 few seconds. any ideas what happened there?
i used iDvd 4

Welcome to the Forum.
The most likely reason for consumer DVD players to skip or stop on DVDs that play well in computer DVD drives, are excessive burn errors that the consumer players 'choke on'. All burned media (CD and DVD) has burn errors. Burning at lower speeds tends to reduce the error level, hence the recommendation to burn low-speed media for maximum player compatability. Computer DVD drives have a high level of error correction (after all - you wouldn't want to loose any data on a data DVD) and can handle the errors. Consumer DVD players don't - after all they are designed to playback pressed DVDs with low error rates.
Some consumer DVD players are more sensitive to these errors than others.
Sometimes using a different brand of media will help.

There wasn't an answer, just a question. If you can provide a little detail around what's actually happening, and more about the environment (e.g. what model computer, its configuration, etc) it'll help people provide a solution .

Combo won't read burned DVD

Hi, i know this is not new but since i can't find any solution and apple support prefer staying behind the scene, i posted my problem.
I have a DVD with all my works files which is burned at the office using PC. Once i was home, i tried to copy the files to my emac (1,25 GH, 512, Tiger 10.4.2). It works for a while and then it stopped and saying can't find xxxxx file which is actually in the dvd. So i tried a couple times and did not work. I rejected the dvd for the first time it won't come out and i restarted the emac so it came out. After i restarted the emac, the combo drive won't take any burned DVD anymore ( i have memorex DVD) but it can take any comercial DVD or CD, e.g i insterted the Tiger upgrade DVD and it works good or Adobe CS CDs it works good. I was cleaning the lens using Memorex lens cleaner, it still throws my burned DVD out after a few second.
So what should i do? is it software or hardware problem? hey apple guys where are you !

The Apple Discussions are peer-to-peer exchanges among Apple users; if you want to contact Apple Support, try the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the Discussions pages.
If you look over other posts in this forum, you'll notice a common current complaint involves using 8x DVD media; can you try using 4x media?
Also, there are differences between DVD-R and DVD+R media; for Ma cuse you'll generally want to use DVD-R.
As a general tip when burning CD-R or DVD-R on PCs to be read on other computers, burn the PC disc as a read-only (closed) disk. Leaving the disc appendable or multi-seeion capable can make it unreadable on other computers, even other PCs that don't have the exact version of the same burning software you used to create the disc. Finalizing or closing or making the dic read-only --- whatever the burner program calls that option, it tends to work better.

WHY WON\'T QUICKTIME HOME MOVIE PLAY ON TOUCHSMART

Why won't a quicktime home movie play on touchsmart 310
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Have you installed the quicktime software from Apple? There are other players that may also have the required codecs to play the video.
That is what is required in order to play a quicktime movie.

MBP won't read burned DVDs after Mountain Lion upgrade

Well, I think this is the last Macintosh I'll be owning. I've really had it. And now with the decision to cancel the 17" laptop, what's my inscentive to stick around?
OK, rant over. I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. All went fine, however, I did not notice until today that the machine will no longer read my previously-burned DVDs. The machine thinks they are blank DVDs! Interesting that I can insert a movie DVD and it reads/plays fine.
Has anyine else had this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks-

What version is Pages? If you have at least Pages 4.0.5, try deleting the preference file. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list.
If you're version of Pages is older, try updating.

Macbook Won't Read Burned DVD+R from DVD recorder

I have a 2.0 GHz Macbook with 2GB Ram and a good working Optical drive that reads all media formats without any problems EXCEPT burned (and finalized) DVD+R discs from a DVD Recorder (attached to a television). I can play these burned DVDs on stand-alone DVD drives linked to TVs but I cannot play them in my Macbook. I have heard of other people having this problem, yet I have never found a solution for it. Does anyone have any ideas or comments on this topic?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for the reply Boece.
To answer your questions:
I have tried these recorded DVD+Rs in older PC laptops that have had little trouble reading them. I have also tried them in other Macbooks, which have responded similarly to my macbook when inserted.
I have played commercial DVDs, CDs, and recorded CDs in the drive and have had plenty of success. I have also played recorded DVDs that were made on computers with ease. The only type of media I seem to have problems with are DVDs not recorded on computers.
I do not have my own recorder, rather I had a friend record the DVDs for me so I don't know about other burn speeds (although I'm quite sure this isn't the problem as the DVDs do read on other computers)
When the DVDs don't read they simply eject. I never get an icon on the desktop or any error messages. The drive spins up and back down twice, then ejects the recorded DVD+R.
