i recently purchased a second hand iMac, everything is working fine on it apart from one wierd problem when i insert a DVD into the superdrive it decides to eject the disk by itself, and if I insert a CD it plays fine. Im on 10.7.4 (os x lion)
Everytime I insert a music cd, nothing happens. I checked the settings to cds & dvds, and music cd's are set to "ignore" when inserted. However, everytime I try to click "open with itunes" it stays on ignore. I'm not sure what to do, or what it's happening.
How do you make an application automatically load upon logon? I would like ByteController (the iTunes controller that loads in the menu bar) to automatically start when I login.
When I enter spaces and move a window or dialogue of an application to a new space, it does not automatically move ALL windows of that app. This is frustrating and I end up having to move five or six windows to get the whole app into the new space. This is not the case with all apps, but it seems like spaces has problems with professional apps like Flash, Pro Toots, Photoshop -- it never moves all the little related dialogues and panels. Anyway to fix this other than to close the app and open it fresh in the new space?
I recently found that the cause for my macbook pro hanging on shut down was due to Kaspersky running in the background. Because quiting it before shutting down every time is annoying is there a way to automate the quitting of an application when I request my computer to shut down?

Whenever I launch Pages, the application opens pretty much all the documents I've worked on. I take care to close all the windows, hoping that they won't launch again next time I start the application, yet they do. I can't find a setting in the preferences or Settings to disable this behavior.

I ejected one cd and then tried to insert another and it is like there is something inside. It won't grab the cd. I tried to re-insert the same one and the same thing happened.
I haven't used the DVD drive very much at all since I've had it (about 3 years), but was watching some DVDs yesterday. The drive worked fine. Today, when I tried to insert another DVD, I physically can't do it - it only goes in halfway and the drive won't suck it in. There is nothing stuck in the drive, no other disc. There is nothing wrong with the disc I am trying to insert. It doesn't work for any disc any more.
I have tried many different suggested restart fixes, holding down the eject button while starting, resetting PRAM, etc etc. this DVD drive has physically failed after I've hardly ever used it... Is there anything I can do short of taking it in for repair? It's not under warranty any more.
I'm kinda new to apple, and love it. I recently started playing UT2004, and to get something, I need the insert key. I searched all over google, and found some stuff, that won't work in the game itself. So does anyone know how to replace/or a key combo to do the 'insert-key' in games.
I installed a dvd into my imac and everytime I want to watch it I have to eject the dvd then reinsert it for it to start to play.Is there a way I can get the dvd to play without ejecting it first.
All of a sudden, when I type a word, nothing is there.i'm in the middle of an email, and there has not been a problem until suddenly.Is there an "insert" key perhaps?

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 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.
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)
