Superdrive won't read DVDs after Lion update...

Question

Superdrive won't read DVDs after Lion update...

There are a few threads about this on the forums but no one has a definitive answer to this bizare problem... I've tried every suggestion/solution that I've found to no avail... So I'm creating another thread in an attempt to find an answer...

Ever since I updated my '10 Mac Pro to Lion (months ago), my original built in superdrive will not read any DVD's or CD's, commercial or not, that have data on them... It simply assumes the disk is blank when it clearly isn't. Now, if I insert a blank DVD and burn it, it works like a charm... but it will then NOT read the disk that it just burned??? How and why did Lion break my superdrive?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I'm experiencing the same issue with macbook pro and Lion (10.7.3).

A DVD someone recorded for me in Windows can be read nicely on Snow Leopard on my old macbook white, on windows and linux, but my macbook pro running lion will identify the DVD as blank.

After doing some reading through forums, I got to the same as Damir.

This is preposterous!

Does anyone know if there is a solution for this?

It's incredible how Apple seems to really don't care for their customers when it comes to computers and operating systems. The solution is always like "sit down and hope that there will be an update coming sometime this century that will fix the issue".

That's simply ridiculous!

The bug reporting channel is also ridiculous.

Just adding some technical info to the problem.

I'm using a DVD+R that is perfectly readable, as I mentioned, on other operating systems.

When I insert Video DVDs, nothing wrong happens.

When I insert the DVD+R that is identified as blank media, this is what I see in the kernel.log file:

So, just to add more info here, I just dropped by a friend of mine's who's got a MacBook Pro earlier then mine, but has recently upgraded to Lion (mine came with Lion pre-installed already).

Not unexpectedly he's observing the same issue I am (as well as many others).

Still investigating if there's anything that can be done (and wasn't yet published in other posts) except waiting for Apple's good will.

Just to add something to this, I have a MBP upgraded to Lion 10.7.3 and now the Superdrive spits my DVD-R's out. Yet it'll read CD's and also DVD's that have been burnt previously on SL, but just spits the blank DVD media out.

I have spent in excess of an hour on the phone to AppleCare and while they were very polite and helpful, I am left with the same problem after resets and reboots and cache cleaning.

It's in excess of 3 months since I upgraded to Lion and my MBP is only 14 months old. I was hesitant about upgrading to Lion. I should've trusted my gut feeling.

I have a local repair centre on the case. I will report back if I hear anything.

I do not know if this will help you. Seventy one Mac Pro and Macbook pros no problem burning dvd's or cd's. Using MountianLion (10.7.X. The only DVDS and CDS we use are Kodak. You might try different manufactures and see if that will help.

Will.

I have the same problem. Ever since updating to Lion, my superdrive no longer reads pre-recorded commercial dvds. It worked fine up until the point where I upgraded to Lion. It still reads cds, so the drive is working, but when I insert a dvd, it just spits it straight back out again. I have also read so many threads on this that it is obviously a problem with the Lion update (along with several others I might add!). This is something that Apple needs to address, but nothing seems to be happening, even though people are opening bug reports with them.

*Also worthy of a note... any fixes to Lion problems that you make, (i.e. for repeated dropping Wifi, Adboe products continuously hanging) seem to be undone with software updates. So you have to repeat the process over again with every software update... Not sure what they are actually fixing with these updates!

I'm also having the same/similar problem. I have 4 MacBookPros and 1 iMac. Data DVDs burned by a client (using Windows) work in my June 2009 MacBookPro (running 10.5.8), on my daughter's 2010 MacBookPro (running 10.6.8), and on the old iMac (running 10.5.8). All running pre-Lion OS. The data DVDs are recognized as blank disks on my brand new MacBookPro (running Lion) and on my wife's 2011 MacBookPro (running 10.6.8). Also, they appear as blank disks if I mount them using a LaCie external DVD drive connected to my new MacBookPro. I'm a huge Mac fan (also own several iPhones and iPods), and this problem is killing me. I'm happy to supply one of the DVDs to Apple to test, but this problem needs to be solved!!!!!

I opened a case with Apple a couple of weeks ago. I spent 2-3 hours running through the problems with one of their senior guys over the phone. They were interested in replicating the problem so they could try and understand it and pass it on to their tech team. Apparently this is not a "known issue" by Apple, so nothing was being done about it. After running through everything, he said there was definitely a software problem and that it would be flagged with their techies. I'm still waiting to hear back, but at least this might hopefully be a start.

Please read original post carefully before responding. It clearly states that Comercial DVDs are not read either. How can your suggestion help in this situation?

Update- opened a case with Apple, they asked me for a lot of info (including a data capture), worked on it for a couple of days and then closed the case. I'm hoping that they are still working on a solution, but am not hopeful. Hard to believe we are the only people having problems with this! So very frustrating.
