After I enter in a CD it will read it for awhile, make a lot of loading noice and then after about 30 seconds it will just eject the disk
after reading through this apple fourm I see my same problem with 74 pages on people saying they have this same problem.

Apple wont give us a way to fix this. We spend good money on there products, they have probably earned more money from there custemers then anyone else in the world. And this is the thanks we get?

Your optical drive may be broke. If none of the things listed below works, suggest that you call AC if you are still under warranty. OOW, take your MBP to your local AS or an AASP for repair.
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.

*** Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs. ***
Your CD/DVD drive must be broken, cheapest fix is to buy an Apple superdrive, which is an external CD/DVD player that plugs in via USB, which is $80 from Apple, but is cheaper on websites like Amazon and eBay.
its a good idea to get that external dvd drive and I probably will. BUT, you dont know if my drive is broken to the point that I need a external DVD player. It could possably, and most likely is a software error.
Isnt there any way to redownload the complete software for that drive?
Go to disk utility, choose your hard drive, click verify disk, once that's complete, click on repair disk if possible. If it's not clickable, click on verify disk permissions, then click on repair disk permissions. Then try to see if your cd/dvd drive works AFTER closing out the disk utlitly app.
