Q: iMac Keeps Ejecting CDs/Can't Sort

My imac keeps ejecting CDs and this never happened before. I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM and that didn't do anything. I can't sort anything either. I tried numerous times and nothing works. When I go to "Get Info" and click on sorting "Name, Artist, Album Artist & Album Name" are all a light gray. I tried everything and nothing seems to work.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    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.

    Different problem from your topic.  Assuming you fonting about iTunes, you need to post about it in the iTunes for Mac forum.  You also must advise which version of iTunes you are using.  This will enable the knowledgeable iTunes users to help you.
