Q: cd/dvd drive keeps ejecting cd/dvd!!!

See if any of this helps. Trouble shooting slot load drives.

I am having the same trouble. It does not happen with all CD/DVD's just some.

I have some Textbook CD's that aren't being read and get spit out. Today I installed iLife and it read that fine, however, when I attempt to put in the iWork 08 DVD/CD that one gets spit out.

I tried the trouble shooting page you mentioned above, but no help. I think its time to call Applecare.

I had this exact problem. I bought some air duster by Ixos put the long nozzle on the can and gave it a good spray into the cd drive and this resolved the problem. Now I can play my cd's on my mac book and use i tunes. I don't believe this has worked but it did.

my macbook doesnt accept different brands of dvd-r's. i cant use maxwell and sony dvd-r's but office max, office depot and staples brand work just fine. i have been having problems but i just work around it. **** that stink superdrive update!!!

Mine is doing the exact same thing! And it hasn't worked all summer either, but for some reason it will let me burn DVD-Rs, but trying to use CD-Rs or CD-RWs or regular movies to watch doesn't work.

Yes I'm having the same issue will not read any of my CD's or DVD's, the night before I was burning a CD got an error that it could not continue than my program Toast Titanium that I was using froze after the error, had to force quit. Looked under Disk Utility to see if it could see the somewhat formated CD was there but was not and froze that program than had to force quit that too. So after all that I did a forced Restart of my MacBook, and I thought I would try a DVD movie, no luck.

So know I'm wondering if it's a defective drive that came with the original revision one MacBook system?

Well how about all of you find out what model you have for your CD-RW/DVD by looking for it under Apple Menu, About This Mac, More Info..., Hardware...., ATA, ATA Bus, (THEN YOUR MODEL SHOULD BE LISTED.)

My Model is
MATSHITACD-RW CW-8221
Revision: GA0H

I am experiencing the same issue, pop a regular dvd in the slot and 10-15 seconds later it spits it out. What can be done to resolve this? Call apple? I've never had a problem with a Mac that forced me to call anywhere.

My info on the drive:
Model: Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00
Revision: SB2AC7MP

Model: Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00
Revision: SB2AC7MP

I have the same problem on my MacBook, when I put any CD or DVD in it, it takes it, makes noise, and 10 seconds after it eject it automatically...

I've got the same problem. Model is MATSHITADVD-R UJ-857.

Mac OS X-install disc seems to work though, but I'm sure there's nothing wrong with my other discs. I also tried to reinstall the system, but it didn't help. What should I do?

me, any CD or DVD do not work... is there anyone have the solution ?

No solution on my end. Wish I had my software cd's with me right now to reinstall the drive. Any other suggestions or places I can find a olutions?

The guy who sold me the macbook say thats a driver problem ... but where can we find this ''driver'' ?

Like I said I was having problems with the drive called AppleCare they told me to do some things I already done they included...
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Holding down the Command(Apple), Option, P, and R and then hold the Power button simultaneously, and told me to do that 3 times and wait for 3 loud buzzing (or some odd sound I can't describe).
Also Resetting System Management Controller (SMC)
Was told to shutdown and disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery after that I had to press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds(I did 10 seconds) and then release the button, then reconnect the battery and AC Adapter and to restart the system.
I was asked to try the drive again and it did not work when I was talking on the phone with the person, they said they could not do any thing becasue I was out of warranty but I asked to talk to a manager or someone higher about all my problems with the MacBook and see if I could get a new unit and he said yes and put me on wait but when I was on wait I tried out the drive again and it worked again.

I do not know if it good again for the long run or it fail and just because of that! This is one of my least trusted Apple systems, for having the plastic replaced, having a hard drive go dead, and having the AC adapter switched out for a different one, and now this drive. This is one odd Apple system!
