IMac :: FireWire Fried By Power Cut - System Profiler Shows No Awareness?

Dec 20, 2009

Someone switched off the power to my iMac the other day. Since I've rebooted:a] System Profiler shows no awareness of FireWire ("Unable to list FireWire devices" in red) b] Every boot takes about five minutes, 3+ of which seems to be spent waiting for a response from the FireWire socket (the logs show a 3-minute gap followed by a line that goes something like this:"/usr/lib/exec/hidd: Timeout waiting for IOKit to be quiet")
c] if it's idle long enough to go to sleep, it goes into a kernel panic (the last line in the log before the panic says"kernel[0]: IOPMSlotsMacRISC4::determineSleepSupport has canSleep true")b] looks connected to a], but I can't see any connection with c] (apart from the reference to IO).

PowerPC :: G4 Logic Board Fried - How To Get Data Off Drive

Aug 3, 2006

The logic board on my powerbook (aluminum)G4 is fried. I would like to get the data off the drive, but would like to do it myself. Will the drive plug into an external carrier rig like any other drive? I have a granite digital external firewire drive caddy rig. I assume that the mini drive in the powerbook will not plug into an enclosure that was made for a regular drive? Are there any adapters for this sort of thing?

MacBook Pro :: USB Superdrive Won't Take Disc

Sep 6, 2014

I purchased a used Apple USB Superdrive for use with my 2013 Retina Macbook Pro.  Upon plugging in the USB drive to my USB port, it makes a faint click sound, like its trying to eject a disc.  Whenever I try to insert a disc, it never grabs it, or even acts like it will take it.

Mac Pro :: Superdrive - Hangs While Trying To Read Disc

Oct 22, 2010

I am having an issue where the superdrive in my BRAND NEW mac pro isn't working correctly. It doesn't read DVD's consistently, System profiler hangs when you click on disc burning and after that the drive does not respond to eject commands. When you do get the tray to open, insert a DVD that is a known good disc, it will "mount" on the desktop then when you click on it, it hangs trying to read the disc. When you right click and select eject, the icon just goes away and the disc does not eject. A restart at least allows me to eject the disc. Resetting SMC has no effect on the drives behaviour. Or suggest a good aftermarket DVD drive?

OS X :: DVD Stuck In Superdrive - How To Get Disc Out Manually

Mar 14, 2006

I had to drop my iMac G5 in this morning to the apple store to get a stuck DVD out of the superdrive!!. My question is, how often to discs get stuck in the drive??? Is this a common problem??? Is there a risk of the disc getting stuck every time you put one in???? Why wouldn't apple put a pinhole to manually eject the disc or some other way of manually getting the disc out!???

MacBook Pro :: SuperDrive Won't Work While Put A Disc?

Aug 5, 2010

I just replaced my hard drive in my 2007 MacBook Pro. However, when I now put a disc in the superdrive, it only reads it occasionally. Most of the time, it just spits the disc out.

I've tried my tiger install disc, leopard install disc, and snow leopard install disc.

NOTE: I cloned my old hard drive to a back up and put it back on the new hard drive once installed. So, I'm up and running, but I want to reinstall leopard as a fresh install, but the superdrive doesn't want to work.

Hardware :: Disc Stuck In Superdrive

Jan 24, 2006

I have a 17" Power Book G4 which is three months old. It is my first Mac after 20 years with a PC and it is not a happy Mac. I am not a happy Mac owner It now has a CD jammed in the superdrive. It will neither eject or be recognised. All the threads say hold down the mouse button, this will force eject the disc. All this does is give me a blue screen. No effect on the disk. While I sit here it is trying to eject the disc on its own every 30 seconds or so. It is a home made disc with a paper label which works in my 2 PCs and windows laptop. How do I get it out, preferably without the use of a hammer.

PowerPC :: Powerbook Superdrive Not Working / Spitting Out Any Disc That Put In

Mar 25, 2009

So about 6 months ago, my powerbook g4 1.67's drive just starting spitting out any disc you put in. It would take them, whir around for a bit, then eject. It seemed like it had just died pretty much. Today, on a whim, I decided to try a disc in the drive, and it works! Apple repair had given it up for dead, so why do you think it came back?

MacBook Pro :: Disc Spins Up To Initial Plateau In Superdrive

Jul 10, 2010

I've just noticed trying to upgrade from 10.5 to SL that my Superdrive is acting funny. Anyone that's heard a superdrive knows that when you put a disc in the machine it spins up to a first "plateau" and then spins up to full speed. In my case, it spins up to the initial plateau and then spins down again. It will do this cycle maybe 3 - 4 times and then sometimes spit the disc back out. Occasionally it will continue this spin-up-spin-down cycle until I restart and hold the click button (eject does nothing). I am screwed (I'm just out of warrantee). Its a real shame - I use the optical drive so infrequently that I would never notice there was a problem until it's too late. This is a 2009 15" MBP, 2.66 ghz with 4gb ram running 10.5.8. I have a MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-868

MacBook Pro :: Frozen At Bank Screen With Boot Disc In SuperDrive?

Feb 9, 2012

I noticed my notebook running a little slower than usual so I took the usual steps, without much luck.  I then verified and repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility.  Tried to use disk repair but got a message that the disk was damaged and I needed to boot from an install disc and run Disk Utility from it.  I put the disc in, chose it as my boot disc in Preferences,  and ever since once I power up all I get is the chime and a blank grey dead screen.  proceed or at the very least remove the disc from the SuperDrive

Power Mac G5 :: When Is Superdrive Officially Dead

Oct 21, 2007

I have had my 2002 Quicksilver for 5 years now. I use it only for surfing the web & personal stuff. I do all my real video work on my quad G5, including burning DVDs. The G4's Superdrive isn't responding to anything. The eject button doesn't work (although the eject arrow appears on screen); Command-period does nothing; the "eject" command in firmware doesn't work (reads "can't EJECT"). Is there any way to run a diagnostic on the Superdrive ... to see if the problem is manageable, or irreparable? I can live with a slow drive that rejects some brands of DVDs ...but is she really dead as a doornail? Is there an apnea test for Superdrives?

Power Mac G5 :: SuperDrive Will Not Read Any Media

Oct 24, 2007

I have a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerMac G5 and out of nowhere the SuperDrive suddenly won't read anything. I put in a CD or DVD and it'll make a short whirring sound about every 4-5 seconds and then after the third time it automatically ejects the disc. Is my drive dead? The computer is still covered under my AppleCare protection plan. Do I need to just bring it in and have it replaced?

Power Mac G5 :: Unable To Open Superdrive

Dec 14, 2007

having read all the posts about the superdrive failures, mine seems to have died although it is a strange one. It's a Pioneer 107D and it reads, writes, and ejects if a disk is in it (sometimes)...however it will not open (without my trusty paperclip) from keyboard, fkey, drag disk to trash, startup with mouse button held, etc. etc. Terminal mode (drutil etc.) says drive is ok as does About my Mac. I can hear the mechanical attempts to open, but only the ol' paperclip seems to do the job. Any thoughts??? If I replace it are there any thoughts as to what people find reliable? I am thinking Litescribe at the moment (I do not "need" DL or BluRay).
