Wont recognize any CD's

i upgraded my mac from OS X 10.2 to 10.4 and now the mac can't recognize any cd's. i tried games, music cd's, and dvd's, all of which worked before. i really need help!!

What happens when you try to boot normally?
What model Mac do you have. The model type can be found in the System Information.
It sounds like it might be a graphic card issue.  If you're running Lion or later Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down), select Disk Utility and repair both disk and disk permissions.  Then try to reboot normally.

    took it out and reset bios. still nothing.
    This thing wont even make it past the "platinum" screen. If i reset the bios sometimes it will make it to post but it still need to get into bios and without a keyboard im sol.
    really thinking about returning this thing and getting something else thats not msi.
    I had about the same issue with my platinum neo4. It had the battery at 2.2V (measured) and the bios showed 1.2V for the battery.
    I wasn't able to save bios settings (blank screen when I did) and returned it to the shop. They're still investigating and probably give me some feedback tomorrow. I still want the same MSI board because it ran very smooth for about a week and hope this issue will be solved somehow.

  • My mac wont recognize any of my devices

    I have recently updated my phone from a 4 to iphone5 and was in the process of trying to transfer pics from old phone to mac. Now my mac will not recognize any of my devices finder, image capture, iphoto....it does however show up in itunes when plugged in. It has been really frustrating I just want to be able to import my pics from my old phone to iphoto and it is not recognizing any of the devices i plug in. Any help would be much appreciated.

    You will likely get better responses by posting to one of the Mac forums.

  • Lenovo Miix 2 11 wont recognize any SD cards

    I have two Lenovo Miix 2 devices. One device will not read any SD cards. I have even tried formatting and using Miix SD cards from my working Miix and no luck.
    Am I missing a driver? What is going on?
    thanks

    Greetings Rowan,
    Questions:
    If you open Macintosh HD > Applications > Image Capture and insert an SD card does it show up?
    Does the same issue occur with multiple SD cards?
    If you put an SD card in and go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > System Profiler > Card Reader do you see card information (as below) or just "Built in SD Card Reader":
    Try:
    Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964.
    Reset the PRAM and then test: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html.
    Remove the contents of Macintosh HD > Library > Caches to the trash and restart the computer and test.
    Assuming you are running 10.6.8 as your profile indicates, install the combo update and test: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Hope that helps.

  • Wont recognize any disk

    So my roommate has a G4, only 2 years old. One day he opened it up and there was just the mac symbol on the screen. He put the install disk in and tried to reinstall the OS. However, when it came to the screen of where to install the software, there was no disk shown. It is like the hard drive just up an vanished like a **** in the wind. Help please!!

    Well I looked up your Raptor, this is what WD says:
    Those 2 disks alone already draw ~5A @ 12V!!
    My guess is you have about 14A total on the 12V lines (no you can't count them together)
    So in my estimate that leave 9A for the rest to start....
    For that videocard of yours you need a powersupply that can do >35A @ 12V single line to be sure it keeps working correctly, that is at least twice what you have now.
    Please stop pushing the system, as that PSU of yours might explode and take the entire system with it....just happen to see one today in my office from a client and they started crying as everything was gone due to a PSU blowup. (parts even came loose of the pcb of the PSU!!)
    Hmm I dont seem to find those figures on WD webpage but ok I trust you as this have been some of my concerns too when this fault happened.
    Only thing I find about the powersupply to this videocard is that you need 400W PSU, so you say I would need a 700-800watts PSU for the system to run smoothly?? (not studied the amps/volts needed so much as I usually get more then I need, but since this is a build in somewhat desperation(due to many factors) maybe this went completely wrong  )
    EDIT: ok based on Amps/Volts I guess this should do it Corsair CX 400W about double amps on this one if not more.

  • My x41 2525-6nu wont recognize any 2.0 usb devices

    whenever i plug in a usb 2.0 device it says "there are no high speed usb host controllers installed on this computer"

    is it possible that you don't have USB 2.0?  I'm not sure what X41's come with.  I would have thought it would be 2.0, but maybe you only have USB 1.1, in which case I don't think you can fix this.  If you do have 2.0, then it is a software issue (hopefully).   Try plugging into a different port and see what it says

  • Computer wont recognize voice commands

    I have been trying to calibrate my computer for voice commands, even when I am able to say the command examples and get my voice to the green but try for real my computer wont recognize any or most of my commands in any way either by holding a key down or saying a key word before commanding. I have an oklahoma accent but still my accent is not heavy. Any solutions?

    In the Speakable Items window, click on the purple circle w/the black "?" mark in the middle. That is a Help button.
    If you do not find a solution on the window that opens, make sure you click on the links at the bottom of the window:

    Consider updating your OS to the last Leopard version which I believe is OS 10.5.8. Your current OS is outdated.

  • MBP wont recognize drives after replacing SATA cable

    Background:  I decided to replace my existing drive with a SSD.  While in the process of replacing the drive, like a morron, I picked up the drive too fast and ripped the SATA cable.  Stupid, I know.  So I ordered a replacement.  Hooked up the replacement without any trouble, fired it up, the computer wont recognize any drives, formatted or not, SSD or HDD.  So I thought "great, terrible luck, I must have gotten a bad cable."  So I contacted the seller and they were kind enough to overnight me a new one.  Hooked up the new one, same **** problem.
    What on earth is going on here?  The computer worked great before I ripped that cable, and now it's like it's just given up on reading drives all together.  Is there anything I can try?
    Please help!  :/
    (MBP is a mid 2010 if relevant)

    Ok then you either have bad cables or you are not installing it correctly. Like not seating it properly on the logic board.
    There is also a piece of foam on the top of the part that connects to the logic board. If you did not move that foam from the original to the replacements it could be shorting to the bootom case.
