Drive USB superdrive is not eject dvd

My superdrive usb drive is not eject the dvd. When I press eject, looks like her will be able to eject it, but it is not actually spit out the dvd. And it appears in my finder, but does not give me the ability to eject again. And when I drag the dvd on my desktop icon to the trash my cursor gives me the pinwheel sign of loading. I don't know what to do anymore. I keep trying and it keeps freezing up on top of me. Help me please!

Five ways to eject a CD or a stuck DVD from the optical drive

  1. Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press in and hold the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
  2. Press the button on your keyboard.
  3. Click the eject button in the menu bar.
  4. Press COMMAND-E.
  5. If none of the above works try this: open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following text: / usr/bin/drutil of ejection and then press RETURN.
  6. If this does not work then try this: start the computer in single-user Mode. At the prompt, enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter 'reboot' at the prompt without the quotes.

If neither of these work, then make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar for the service. If you need a Apple Store - find a store - Apple.

  • USB superDrive does not hub

    When I have my USB drive plugged into a USB hub, it will not work. It does not eject or accept disks.

    It's annoying because I have a MacBook Air that has only 2 USB ports. I have several devices that I use.

    Is there anything I can do to run the Hub of the SuperDrive? He even appears in the system report, I ran.

    But it does not communicate with my Mac.

    Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

    1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
    2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
    3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
    4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
    6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

    Take care.

  • Satellite A300 - is not eject the CD/DVD drive

    I have exactly the same problem with my 4 month Satellite A300. Every now and then and apparently without cause, the CD-ROM drive (Mat * a DVD - RAM) refuses to open. The little light near the eject button flickers when the button is pressed, but nothing. It will do if the drive is empty or not. Device Manager can see the disk and claims that it works correctly and that the driver is up-to-date. But if, for example, I display open with a trombone player and load a DVD, ImageBurn (which could also see the drive) calls for a communication error (e/s).

    Nothing seems to make the drive to work once he got into this State with the exception of a reboot, and even in this case we know remain 'dead' until a second reboot.

    I followed the instructions on [this site | http://www.randomfix.com/2007/04/12/windows-vista-%E2%80%93-missing-cddvd-rom-drive/] and the disc looked good for three days, then made his old trick. I checked the registry and the filters that I removed is still deleted. I uninstalled the drive via the Device Manager and let Vista find again to restart. Everything worked fine for 24 hours then the problem comes back.

    When the drive opens the button it works perfectly in all ways music - reading, writing, start, DVD...

    Very frustrating.

    The above post was originally a response on an existing thread, so I don't know where the rest disappeared. And I can't change it. This forum works as well as laptops.

  • External DELL GP60N USB DVDRW drive will not play DVD

    Hello

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 3531 with Windows 8.1.  The laptop came with an internal DVD/CD drive, so I bought a Dell GP60N external USB DVD - RW Drive.

    When I put a DVD in the drive that the laptop recognizes it is there, but will not play regardless of how I set the automatic run settings.

    I also searched drivers see if mine was outdated, but not found to contribute to the situation.

    Any help from the community will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Default Windows can not decode DVD video, so you will need some reading software...

    Usually, when you buy a DVD player/burner, you get with it, WinDVD or PowerDVD software for video playback and some other software if the device may also burn discs... UNLESS the material was an OEM version, which normally does not come in a box like the commercial version, then you normally get nothing...

    So for now the easiest thing is to connect the drive to the laptop and then insert a DVD into the drive. Go to the Explorer, and then right-click the DVD by selecting drive open. You should now see two folders AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. This indicates that Windows sees DVD disc material correctly and that he also sees the files in the DVD itself... Nothing wrong up to now...

    Now, go into the VIDEO_TS directory where you should see a bunch of files, a bunch of. BUP. IFO and. VOB files. The. VOB files contain the video code CSS while the. IFO files contain orders for DVD to play appropriate video channel (flow). Normally, the. IFO and. VOB files will have an affair with some reading software and double click on the VIDEO_TS. VOB file will launch the player. If the player is associated. Can manage files IFO CSS encoded DVD, playback will begin and you will hear the sound and see some video... If you have a drive associated with these types of files, usually autoplay will kick and the reading starts automatically on insertion of the DVD in your drive... But if you double-click and there is no software associated with this file extension, so there is no software associated with these files and you can't watch your DVD...

    But as mentioned, Windows does not capable by default DVD playback software, so you will need to install a DVD playback software... One solution is to contact the company (Dell?) who provided the external DVD player and ask them why you do not have the comercial DVD reading and DVD software of engraving that you expected would come with your hardware, they can predict it you if she should have come in your package, or they will tell you where you can download it from...

    If they won't help or they say it was hardware OEM and that it did not come with software, then consider using VLC to play your videos, as the software is free open source of quality. This page explains how to use VLC to play DVDs in Windows 8... You can also use ImgBurn for burning CDs and DVDs (not blindly just click on the buttons of large download on this web site because they are advertisements for * you need not, simply the page to the section of news where you have a download link)...

  • Windows 7 PE USB, CD/DVD driver required error detection not

    I try to install Windows 7 Home Premium with a USB 2.0 with the placed using Rufus .iso image file. -Sha1 hash is checked if the .iso image file is not corrupted and I get the infamous error of necessary the CD/DVD driver. However, any USB I put in any port is not recognized, when I go to browse. All that I can see is the boot X:\ drive, nothing else, so even if I get the drivers on my USBs they will not be detected at all. I tried to move the USBs to different ports, nothing helps. The USB ports work because my keyboard works, so what's the problem?

    Motherboard is MSI Z170A Gaming m5, trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 on SSD, but it won't let me even go beyond the section missing drivers. Extremely frustrating.

    What I ended up doing was turn off all other bootable devices on my bios and install an MSI tool called win 7 smart tool that installed the drivers on my USB in case children, everyone has the same problem. I do not know how fix it actually since I applied two patches at the same time, but I guess that's the thing about the pilot.

  • DVD writer does not eject

    My engraver of DVD from Toshiba, TS-T632, ceased to eject. There is not a disc in the drive, in fact, I replaced with a new writer. He still does not eject or open to receive a disc. Manual unlocking does not open it and I don't know what to try next.

    Hello!

    What is the brand of your DVD burner?
    did you ensure that it is connected to the power supply?
    There indicator light?
    If it is stuck, you can use a clip to eject it.
    Thank you

I can get the led light will stop flashing when I open the door all the way, the machine detects the drive but do not read or close on its own, how can I get this disc surgery? Downloading updates, I installed a software disc, when I ejected the disc, the drive comes of is stopped. The computer still sees the drive, but will not read or even close on its own. I also had been using my computer in mode mute until I tried to increase the volume and now the computer tells me no playback device installed. Device Manager acknowledges the Harmon/Kardon soundsticks connected to it, but nothing does, how it works? The Control Panel also sees the soundsticks, but still when I try to move the volume the computer says there is no playback device installed.
