View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to insert a disk. When I put it in, it usually just nicely goes in. Now, there seems to be something blocking it as I push it in. There isn't anything in there that I know of. I've tried ejecting and even tried looking under disk utilities.

What happens if insert disk upside down
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post, I've been using macs for at least 3 years now and wouldn't class myself as clueless BUT I do have a question...
When I insert a hard drive or memory stick into my macbook, it always mounts on the desktop. That is quite useful but I'd also like it to pop up in finder, or with options to open the files on the drive (like windows does).
The last time I tried to insert a disk it would not go in, something (not a disk) was stopping it once it had traveled about half way in.
I then noticed that when waking from sleep or turning on, the normal noise was very different, cut short, and sounded like it was struggling against something.
I believe the mechanism of the drive has somehow failed. Does anyone have any solutions?
It is a iBook G4 1.33GHz with 1.25GB ram installed if that helps.
I set up a 32g partition for windows xp pro. Loaded the disk and formated the partition to FAT. Hold option at startup and load windows. Upon loading windows i get the following message "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive." I have tried leaving the xp disk in, I have tried taking it out before loading windows and putting it in afterwords, nothing works. I can not eject disk while in windows.

I installed Windows 7 through Bootcamp and I got everything installed perfectly!
I partitioned my Mac's hard drive into 3 before the Windows installation:
-Mac OS
-Data For Windows
-System for Windows itself
It all worked fine and i could drag and drop anything into that Data Hard drive through Windows very easily. However, when I came back to my Mac OS and partitioned my Mac Hard Drive into 2 parts(Which makes 4 partition now) and tried booting back up to my Windows, it gave me that error. I then decided to re-partition it like before which was Mac, Data and Windows. Booted it back to Windows and it gives me the same error again. I have an attached Picture showing how my partitions look now. Does anyone know how to fix it? I think it's because what my Windows is booting from is the Data Hard Drive but not my Windows 7 Hard Drive with the OS on it. Is there a way to change it's place or to tell it which Hard Drive to boot from?
My 2.8MP early 2008 with one optical drive is having some random issues iwth it.
ive only used the optical drive a few times however one instance it wont open for the drive to come out NOW, it wont shut when i insert a disc.
so i have my two disks to redo the hard drive so i did that and i wanted the hard drive erased so i chose that option i put the first disk in it checked the disk then installed then asked for the second disk...no checking just an error message that i should check the disk and the internet connection ok well internet is fine checked the disk called apple and verified that i had the right disk and not my imac one.....im lost and kinda need my laptop i have a leopard disk i tryed - put it in turned the computer off turned it back on pressing c installed it and after it said sucsessful instalation we need to restart bam the restart page was please insert disk 2 for the sake of trying again i did ta da error message -sigh-

So I found this dent on my MB this morning and it is right above the disc slot and I was wondering if this could do any damage to my computer and if I could repair this dent.

I click the button "alt" and I choose the option Macintosh HD and the computer works. But I can't do this procedure always. This problem started after install the Paragon software to save my files on the external hd. How can I fix that?

Not only will holding Option while booting not work, but all of the other boot tricks (safe mode, single user mode, etc), will not work. I am at a loss. I also don't have an optical drive in this particular MBP. I have an SSD where it once was.

I can not insert a cd in my new mac?
Info:MacBook, iOS 5.1.1
It's been a while since I've been to these forums but I've come across another issue.
I bought this refurbished Macbook from Apple on November 26, 2008 (model MB061LL/B).
I am trying to insert a 4 Gb SD/HC (unlocked) card into the iMac desktop to view some recently exposed photos. I have tried inserting it both ways, with the Sandisk label facing me and facing away from me. In both cases, the card detection does not show on the screen. Amazingly the 900-page book "Mac OS X Lion, the missing manual" does not even discuss SD card usage for the iMac.I have looked into My Computer and in Lightroom 3, and it does not show in either places. What am I doing wrong?

I cannot insert any disc's into my mac?

I cannot insert a disc into my drive. Not sure it is relevent, but I was using cds last night and ejected a disc, but left it half-way out of the drive overnight. After removing the disc this morning, it will not let me insert another one. I restarted the computer, but the problem remains. I have a 27-inch intel Imac.

Two days ago I listened to an audio CD. It played and ejected fine, but now I cannot insert a disk. I have restarted and also unplugged and restarted, but no luck. Disk utility shows the drive, but says it is waiting for me to insert a disk which I can't do. (27" Intel iMac, i3 proc, ident: iMac11,3, Sys: 10.6.8)

I would like to set up a mac pro using Slots 1 & 2 for RME ADAT digital audio cards and move the graphics card (geforce GT 120 512mb) to slot 3 or 4 so that I can maximize slot speeds for multiple audio playback via logic. Is this possible?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am not able to insert a dvd into the player on my 24" Mac desktop. I haven't used the dvd function in over a month. I am pretty sure there is not one in there now. I went into iDVD and DVD Player and there were no options to eject a disc so I think it is empty. However, when I try to insert a disc there is a thud and it does not go in. I tried to force it (a mistake, I know) and it went about half way in but it did not go easily. When I tried to remove it, it was stuck and it scratched the dvd when i pulled it out. Are DVD player problems common with this model? It is going on 3 years old.

I have a G-RAID drive and I want to try editing faster through the eSata slot. I know they have adapters that work for Macbooks Pro, but is it the same for my iMac? Can I use it through the SD? And if yes, any recommendation on which model/bran to buy?
