Wont Read hardly any CD's

Okay, since the last trouble i had with this, was the softare update wouldnt work, i got that fixed...soo this is the problem now...
I recently burnt a back up cd, well four, so i could do some "spring cleaning" or whatever after xmas....after i finished doing the back up cds, on these regular Imation CD-R | 1x-52 compact disc recordable 700mb, 80min cds.
I could burn songs, files, ect on them perfectly, and i ran a test on it and it read it fine. I shut down the computer for the night, and when i restarted it the next day, it wont even read the disc, it ejects it like its scratched? It also wont read the screen saver disc, i tried to test it on some cds i previously used on here, or some of the mac installation discs.?? It will read DVD's and i havent tried a regular song DVD....
***? is the optical eye damaged somehow? or maybe just need cleaning? I dont have a cleaning kit for it, so i dont know what to do... or where to get one? or even if thats the answer to it....

  • Photoshop CS3 disc wont read on any device - need to re-install Help!!

    Don't laugh, but I bought photoshop CS3  in 2007 it worked fine for what I need.  I do not have the cash to upgrade right now.  My hardrive crashed and was replaced and trying to re - install but the origional disc from Adobe will not read.  I have installed everything else and dreamweaver and fireworks worked fine.  When i put the disc in its like there is nothing there.  I can not download from adobe as they do not have CS3 available.  Any ideas???  Pretty Desperate!!

  • New ipod touch 8gb wont read on computer at all...not even in "my computer"

    I had the same problem when I bought my Touch 2 months ago. Here is fix I used:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090209182107AAR4juY
    First (MAKE SURE YOUR IPOD ISNT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER, AND ITUNES IS RUNNING!!) you have to reset it by holding your home and power button. Make sure you slide it to power off. Then as it powers on, hold the home button and connect your ipod to the computer at the same time. (DO NOT LET IT GO FOR ANY REASON) as iTunes loads it, it'll say that your iPod is going into recovery mode. Click ok, and restore it.
    It worked for me. Hope it helps...

  • I am trying to save a doc. to a external hard drive and it wont allow me. I says its read only, any ideas on how to correct it?

    I am trying to save a doc. to a external hard drive and it wont allow me. I says its read only, any ideas on how to correct it?

    Save it on the internal HD then copy it from this safe location to the external device.
    iWork applications can't apply their save process on devices which aren't formatted as HFS+.
    But it may also be that for some reason, an external device formatted as HFS+ is set to Read Only.
    If it's this case, you will have to change de setting before moving the file on it.

    Hello,
    You cannot install to the G5 from the MacBook.
    Is the Leopard Install Disc the Retail version, or the Grey Disc that came with another Mac ?

    Hello Alfster76, Did you uninstall the DVD drive in the Control Panel, Device Manager,  then reboot the system and see if it finds new hardware and installs the drivers for it?
    Sometimes this works. If not, you might check the data and the power cables going to the DVD drive, just to insure they are properly connected.
    If this does not resolve the issue, the DVD drive may have become faulty.

  • My iphone3gs wont read any sim card i put into it, is it the sim card reader? how do i fix it?

    My iphone3gs wont read any sim card i put into it, is it the sim card reader? and how do i fix it? and yes the sim card matches the carrier

    Possibly. Make an appointment at the genius bar and have them take a look at it.
    If it was ever hacked to unlock it or jailbroken, it may now be permanently bricked.

  • New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    New songs synced to my ipod wont play, the songs play fine on itunes and appear on ipod but wont play..any help appreciated

    So, if you select one of these songs on the iPods screen, and try to play it, what happens?  The iPod does nothing?  It skips to the next song?
    It's possible you will have to do a Restore on the iPod, if there is data corruption on the iPod causing this problem.  The Restore erases the iPod, and removes any corruption.
    NOTE:  There may be a hardware problem, such as the iPod's hard drive becoming unreliable, that is causing this problem and data issues.  It may continue to operate as long as its data stays mostly unchanged, but if you do a Restore to update the hard drive's data in a major way, it is possible that the Restore will fail and leave the iPod non-operable.

  • PC Using Macdrive Wont Read Macbook Firewire

    So I'm about ready to give up. I'm trying to use a Data Recovery Program from a PC I cant get on a Mac so I connected a firewire cable 800 9 Pin to 4 Pin from the PC to my Mac. When I reset the Mac holding down "T" in firewire mode it wont read on the PC. I got Macdrive on PC and it wont read. I tried just about everything I could find online for help checking disk management to disabling the 1394 in Network connections and then restarting and nothing.
    Is there anything I can do?  I checked the Firewire in MORE INFO in this ABOUT THE MAC and next to Firewire it says Warning: Unable to list firewire devices. Does that mean the firewire on my Macbook is turned off? Big thanks to any help.

    Run disk utility on the hard drive to repair it, also repair the permissions. 

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

    updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
    Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

    Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
    Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
    Has the SIM been reseated?  If not, try that.
    Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of that been tried?

  • Itunes wont read iphone, thinks it's a digital camera...help

    I dont know what happened, but when I first got my PC with vista 64, and had itunes installed with the iphone, everything worked. 3 days ago I reformatted my drives and reinstall windows and all my programs. I got itunes working with all my music and whatnot, but when I plug my iphone in to toss music on it, itunes wont read it. Windows knows it's there, but everytime I plug it in, the lower right hand corner the "windows is installing new driver blah blah" pops up, and then get an error message saying it couldnt install the driver. I go to device manager and windows thinks it's a digital camera. I did the whole update driver with the "c:\windows\system32\drivestore\usbaapl_" thing, and I got this message:
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
    (usb icon) Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    The system cannot find the file specified."
    I have been googling the crap out of this and I am at wit's end with this. I've uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, cleaned registry, wiped all apple programs from the PC, anything google told me to, hahaha. Serious, I cant find any forum or web article to help me past this point. Please help...

    I think I got it. I've had the same problem as you and many others. I went to device manager and found iPhone under imaging devices. Here's what I did:
    Right-click -> properties -> driver tab -> update drivers (launches Hardware Update Wizard) select...
    No, not this time (next) Install from a list ... (next) Don't search ... (next) Now there should be two choices under model. Select the Apple Mobile Device. This is not digitally signed so you'll get warnings but continue. When I did this iTunes picked up my iPhone right away.

  • My ipod isn't being read by any computer

    I have an Ipod classic. It stopped being read by any computer. It still plays music, however, after about 3-4 songs, it takes awhile to play another. I save a few files on it and was wanting to figure out who I could take it to to recover any of those files. I know that if I send it to Apple it will get wiped. Need to get those files, so any kinda advise or suggestions would help me out.

    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
