Q: Driver won't recognise music CD

Hey!

My CD driver won't recongise music CD. I am ok with DVD or Data CD. I worked before. It turns for a few seconds, then it gets ejected.

Anything I can do?

Thanks!

    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.

    Thanks, but I did all of what you sugested and nothing worked. When I wrote Music CD, I met commercial CD with tunes on them. The ones ITune used to recognise and transfer on my IMac.

    Still looking.

    I am having the same problem.  I have just bought a brand new CD pack (Hilary Hahn violinist) containing 2 x music CDs.  One of the CDs loaded into iTunes correctly as expected.  The other CD will not load and after ~30 seconds automatically ejects.

    Obviously the CD is not scratched (brand new), the drive is working for some CDs,

    Still looking too.
