My iMac won't recognise blank cd-r's.

My Imac, mid 2007, processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo won't recognise black cd's. It will recognise normal cd-r's and dvd's but not blank cd-r's. The cd drive makes a whiring sound like it's trying to accept the cd-r, then after 5-6 seconds, to ejects it again.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Typo? 😕


Another help source (if you haven't already done so).


Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd

Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.


You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.

At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

This will bring up the Help Menu.
