OS X :: Drive Spits Blank Disc?

Jun 17, 2008

I have a MacBook and lately, every time I insert a blank disc, it spits the disc out. I can hear the drive working for a couple of seconds then the disc comes out. The same thing happens when I insert burned disc. I didn't encounter any problem whenever I insert original discs (audio or films). I need to burn a lot of files.

x's:

I've been using the same blanc discs but the problem only came 2 weeks back. Before I can use -/+ r/rw disc with no problems at all. I doubt that it has to do with the discs type

Desktops :: IMac G5 Spits Out All Blank DVDs?

Dec 19, 2009

Whenever I insert a blank DVD there's a long pause and it spits it out again, nearly every time. There's no dialog, no message, no reaction from the OS of any kind.

On the rare occasions when it accepts a disk, everything after that is fine. I can burn DVDs no problem. The DVDs are a variety of different types (all DVD-R), from reliable brands.

I've tried rebooting, changing the settings in System Preferences, quitting all applications except the Finder, but nothing has made any difference.

Mac Mini :: Imac Spits Out Disc (DVD R)

May 1, 2009

I created a DVD+R disc on my new Mini that has some Mac apps. Now that my new iMac is here, I am trying to read the disc on my iMac but the iMac just spits it back out. It never shows up on the desktop. Other discs such as the reload discs work. I can put it in the Mini again and it shows up. Anyone seen this and know how to share discs between the Mini and the iMac?

MacBook :: Install OS On Blank Hard Drive Without Install Disc

Jun 3, 2014

I have an aluminum Macbook from late 2008, model A1278. I just had to replace the hard drive, and need to install an OS on the currently blank HDD. Problem is, my CD drive doesn't work, so I can't just install from a disc. I had installed Mountain Lion on my old hard drive, but the original OS was Snow Leopard. I haven't succeeded in getting any of my information off my old HDD. Is there another way to install either Snow Leopard or Lion onto my new hard drive?

OS X Mavericks :: 10.9.4 - Sims Medieval Disc Is Blank

Sep 2, 2014

OS: Mavericks 10.9.4 

I have Sims Medieval on DVD disc. Yesterday, when I inserted it into my Mac, it said the disc was blank. I have played the game on my Mac before, though I do not think I have tried to play it since I upgraded to Mavericks in March this year. I last had Snow Leopard, and it worked fine. 

I did put the disc into a Windows machine today and it recognised that it was a Sims game (dual OS disc) and showed me the files. 

I have never run into this type of problem before, and I don't own any other software on disc that runs on only Mac or both Mac and Windows so I can see if it is just this program. 

I have found one thread on a website where people have had the same problem, but no one has a solution and they're all moaning about EA not fixing it, when the game came out in 2011 and so I think the problem is with Mavericks, not EA.

OS X :: MBP Disc Drive Won't Recognize Snow Leopard Disc?

Aug 29, 2009

I have a 2007 Intel MBP, running Leopard. I purchased the family version of Snow Leopard. When I tried to install it, it just spins the disc for a minute, makes the noise like it's trying to read it and then spits it out. All other discs work fine with my MBP so I know it is not the disc drive itself. I have all software "up to date." My brother installed SL on both of his MBs, one newer than mine and one older, just fine (with the same disc). I haven't seen anything out there with this issue so I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone knows how to resolve this issue (beyond taking it back to Apple and exchanging).

OS X :: Disc Could Not Be Used Because The Disc Drive Is Not Supported?

Apr 28, 2009

I am trying to burn a DVD of files I want to back up from my computer, and it gives me this error when I try to burn a DVD from the folder that my files are in. Finder gives no mention that there is a DVD in the DVD-drive, but it does pop-up with a message recognizing that a DVD was inserted initially. My drive has been working fine in the past, so this is something that has just recently happened to my computer. Does anyone have any ideas about this? My computer specifications are in my signature below and I'm running leopard 10.5.6.

The specific error message that I get is this "the disc could not be used because the disc drive is not supported." I did a google of this, but the results turned up stuff relating to 10.3 and 10.4, neither of which being relevant to my situation

OS X :: Macbook Won't Read 1 DVD / Spits It Out?

May 14, 2009

I've never had this happen, but I have this DVD of a tv-show in a series of 10 DVD's, it's the same region and everything as the others and I put it in, the computer makes some noises like it's working harder to get it to play then spits it out after 30 seconds.

I put back in an previous volume DVD from this series and it plays fine. Is it simply the DVD? It's brand new I just took it out of the wrapping.

Mac Pro :: Unable To Eject Cd Drive / Machine Goes To Sleep With Disc In The Drive

Nov 11, 2009

I've got a PowerPC G5 running 10.4. After four years of dedicated service, my Superdrive gave out, so I bought a Sony drive (SONY DVD RW DRU-842A in profiler) to replace it. Here's the trouble:

Any time the machine goes to sleep with a disc in the drive, it won't eject when I wake it up. I have to restart, then eject. Other than that, the drive works beautifully. If this question has been answered elsewhere, please redirect me there, sorry for the repost.

Speaking of sleep, when I put the machine to sleep through the menu it goes fully to sleep (no fan/other noise). But when it goes to sleep on its own, I can still hear the machine churning away. Any ideas? My roomate has a newer Mac Pro that doesn't do this.
