Why won't my computer accept CDs

When I put a CD in my Macbook Pro, it whirs around for about a minute, but then my computer just spits it back out. The CD's work in other computers I've tried them in and I've tried both new and old CD's with my computer. Nothing works. What is wrong? How can I fix it?

It could just have a dirty lens. Try a CD cleaning disc.

  • WHY WON'T MY COMPUTER ACCEPT LATEST UPDATE

    FIREFOX COMES ON MY SCREEN WITH A NEW UPDATE AND IT HIGHLY RECCOMENDS I DO SO . I AGREE BUT IT REFUSES TO ACCEPT MY UPDATE. WHY WON'T IT ACCEPT THE NEW UPDATE??

    I tried creating the new user account but that didn't change anything. Neither did updating to OS X 10.4.3. It just doesn't make sense because I've had the same thing happen with tv dvd players not being able to play stuff but all the computers can and stuff like that, but my dad's computer, which is the same model as mine, can play it and mine can't. It just keeps spitting it right back out. :\ Any more suggestions? I bought the extended warranty, I might try giving Apple a call.

    Likely either the batch of media is defective, or the drive itself is not working.
    Swap for different media; for a different batch from a different vendor, and also try +R media. 
    The slot-loading drives on various Mac systems can and variously do fail.  If different media doesn't work, then you probably have a failed drive. 
    If your Mac is of same the vintage as OS X v10.4 that's listed in your footer and you're not in a position to replace or repair the optical drive in your Mac, then you might consider using an external USB CD/DVD device.  If you don't have another Mac around to perform the recording on, that is.

  • Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents??

    Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents saved in pages and save them again? It keeps saying access denied when its my computer and I have Lion OS X

    Right click the document and select 'get info'.  Check the permissions for the file.  If several of these files have the wrong permissions then you may need to repair user permissions.  See this for instructions:

  • Why won't my imatch upload cds I downloaded onto my iphone?

    why won't my imatch upload cds I downloaded onto both my computers onto my iphone?

    I'm not entirely understanding your question. Are you asking why iTunes Match doesn't scan, match and upload content from an iOS device? If so, it is because the service does not work that way. The service only scans an iTunes library and for music to be available in the cloud it must be in the iTunes library.
    Music ripped from CDs is scanned, matched and uploaded as long as the tracks meet the minimum requirements.

  • HT1338 Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get internet

    Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get the internet.

    Turn Off your computer. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your computer. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

    where is the stand alone installer ,why won't my computer upset from10.9.1 to 10.9.2

    Go to About This Mac in the Apple menu.
    Click on the Version number in the window that opens. It will change to Build number. What's the build number?
    Also, what error message do you see, or any other helping description of what happens when you try to update.

  • Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

    Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone?  No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.  I have checked all the settings and all seems correct.  It simply won't pull in all of the contacts.  Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

    I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

  • Why won't Elements 10 accept my password when it did before?

    I have tried numerous times to put in the password when opening Elements 10.  It would not accept it.  so I decided to get a new password.  In filling out the outline they want you to click yes on the Personal URL.  Meaning I assume that you put your pictures on the wed for others.  I do not want this. Am I not understanding that.    [email protected]

    Double post.

    Why won't Apple TV accept my AppleID password?

    Same here. When I want to sign in to iCloud I enter my password as requested which then takes me to the Apple Terms & Condition screen, so I hit the agree button, then it says connecting but then takes me back to the Terms & Condition page. It keeps repeating the same thing every time I hit the Agree button.

    Because you cannot use a credit card issued in another country.  This is how the system works.  Sorry
    I don't think Apple is striving to be just like every other company.

  • Why won't my computer burn music onto blank CDs

    I am trying to burn music onto my blank CD but a notification will pop up saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the lazer power level fo this media." Sometimes it is able to burn music onto the CD though. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Try:
    - A lens cleaning disc to clean dust off the laser lenses,
    - A slower burn speed
    - Better quality CDs
    - It is also possible your drive is faiiling and will need replacing or you use an external Superdrive.
