• My superdrive drive don't bed not any type of disc, once I insert it in the drive

  Hi all

  My end 2011 edition iMac doesn't read any type of disc if I insert it in the drive. It automatically rejects the disk after one a wile and then the disc pushes. It allows me not even read the disc. What could be the problem?

  The drive could be faulty, but maybe it's nothing more that a lens is dirty. Lens cleaning products are inexpensive and should give it a shot.

• Equium L20-264: CD/DVD player can read but not burn discs

  Hi all

  I need help. My laptop cd/dvd driver does not recognize the discs inside. It only happens when I try to burn a disc. She can read but not burn the discs. What could be the solution? I tried different brands, the last time it was Maxell. The manual suggests Mitsubishi discs, but I'm not sure that it only works with the Mitsubishi discs. It can read any kind of disc.

  So I'm in trouble, please help.

  Hello

  In the manual, you will find a list of media recommended because this media has been tested and were working properly.
  However, I use TDK CDs and DVDs and it works as well.
  Juan suggested in another ad that sometimes 3rd applications or DVD copy locks are responsible for some driver problems:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12497

  What I mean is that it is not easy to give a generally the solution of these problems.
  You should try different media, burning software and if it doesn t work so it s is a malfunction of the equipment. In this case, you will need to replace the drive.

• Tecra M1 will not read any type of SD card

  Help!
  According to the title, my M1 will not read any type of SD card. I'm running the SP2 of XP reloaded from original floppies, and it is fully up-to-date with Windows Update.
  The little green light adjacent to the slot flashes briefly on the insertion of a card, but nothing happening for example no open option window and nothing visible in my computer.

  I downloaded the latest drivers and installed according to the directives of the readme.txt file and even thought to copy the SDDEVMGR.dll in the System32 folder.
  I obviously lack something, so any help or pointers are welcome.

  Thank you very much. Craig

  Hello

  Usually, books are not all sizes of SD card and so you should be sure that the used SD card is supported and compatible with the Tecra M1 card reader.

  But if you are using a compatible SD card the laptop should be able to read/write on the SD card.
  I try to remove the SD card in the Device Manager controller and remove the driver software malfunction. Restart the computer and install the latest drivers again.

  PS: A registry cleaning would be desirable. CCleaner is a great registry cleaning applications

• Cannot copy images from any type of disc. ??

  Cannot copy pictures on any type of disc. the computer behaves as if she is unable to format the drive? I thought that this was done automatically.

  Hello

  ·        What is the exact error that you are experiencing when you try to burn the disk?

  ·        Outside photos, you are able to burn other files on the disk?

  ·        You use any burning software to burn the photos to disk?

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  I suggest to format the drive and check if you are able to burn discs or not. Follow the steps mentioned below.

  a. be aware that Windows XP, in its native form, does not directly support CD formatting. Formatting a CD requires support for the ISO images that is missing from Windows XP.

  b. download or buy CD and formatting of third-party burning software. Third-party CD utilities include features like CD burning, imaging of CD and the CD put fit.

  c. install the third-party software, following specific instructions in accordance with the software documentation. Many programs will require you to restart Windows to complete the installation. Close all other applications and do it.

  d. place the disk you want to format in the drawer. Make sure that it is in the drawer of CD - R or CD - R/W and not another tray (tray of DVD) or a simple CD player.

  e. start the third-party application and follow the instructions on the screen as they appear. Choose the "Format CD" option on the file menu, or choose 'Create a new CD.' This application controls tend to vary an application to, so be sure to check the documentation.

  f. don't forget to leave the CD in the taskbar until the process is completely finished. If you remove the CD before the completion of the formatting, you will ruin the disc.

  g. give a volume name to your new CD.

  I also suggest you to check the article mentioned below.

  Should which CD or DVD format I use?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/which-CD-or-DVD-format-should-I-use

• Satellite A20-130: SD-R2412 cannot read that DVD burned in some optical drives

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A20-130, running Windows XP and Ununtu Dapper in a double score. My 2nd laptop is not a Toshiba. When I burned the DVD (DVD + R) with my laptop Toshiba no and played against them in my Satellite everything has worked well.

  However, when I bought a new optical drive for my 2nd my Toshiba laptop suddenly stopped playing DVDs burned in this new optical disc (I was using exactly the same brand of disc and the same format - DVD + R). I tried the old DVD (those burned in the laptop before that material from the optical drive has been upgraded) and they can still read perfectly well.

  This problem applies to both Ubuntu and Windows XP. Computer support portable 2nd said that sounds like a problem of firmware with my Toshiba. I updated the driver for my optical drive Toshiba R2412 SD (which according to the manual of the leader, seems to fix a DVD-Ram compatibility issue). Now the reader occasionally reads some of the new DVDs burnt (after doing lots of noise and waiting for ages), but more often that not, I get an error message saying that the device cannot be read, because the format is wrong or the device needs to be formatted.

  This computer non-Toshiba laptop read DVD, it burns using the optical drive improved perfectly.

  Hello

  Satellite A20 is old enough laptop model, and after intensive use, it may be that the disc is more sensitive. If all this happens occasionally there no explanation just why this happens.

  I know it's pretty boring, but I don't see any magic solution. In the end, you should test with new disc.

• Satellite T130 - 10G: Firefox does not read any video or flash content more

  My Firefox does not read any video or flash content more. And in watching the news of repair troubleshooting/malfunction in Firefox under graphics, he said that "Direct2D activated" and 'WebGL Renderer' have been blocked because of the version of the graphics driver.

  I downloaded a new version on the Toshiba site, but an update of the driver can not find the new version.
  I had briefly solved the problem by installing the new driver from the file but it is not recognized in Device Manager.

  Automatic update through Windows just tells me that the driver is up-to-date.
  I have the Satellite T130 - 10G.

  Would be great if someone could help.

  Thank you!

  Hmmmm... as you know Toshiba doesn't support third party software so I think that your question has nothing to do with Toshiba directly.

  You find the same content with other browsers?

• Satellite M35x-s349 - DVD-ROM drive read not

  I have a Satellite M35x-s349. I got it around late 2004.

  He has had this problem for a few months and I had submitted to not being able to read or write cd / dvd because I couldn't find my recovery disks. When the computer was planted I renewed my efforts, found, restored with the help of an external HD enclosure, backed up and restored my computer. It was working fine. I burned the CD and watched movies without problems for a few months.

  He has now stopped read any kind of cd yet. I put the small drive flashes next to my cursor. I hear movement inside (ROAR and the eye moving) but after about 20 seconds, he gave up and claims that there is no disc in the drive. I don't want to have to do a system restore, but I can't even read the restore disk to reinstall the driver. Are there any ideas on why this happens if not all the solutions? Any way to reinstall the driver online? I am a user of level intermediary model so I can understand most tech jargon you throw my way. I can usually solve my own problems, but this one seems hopeless.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  -Tom

  I agree with Akuma. If the bootable CD/DVD cannot be read by the player are probably defective.

  It's old notebook and you can find replacement on eBay.
  Change the record is not complicated and if you need help let us know.

  Hello

  Have you added any software CD/DVD burning or else around the time that it started to happen? Some may
  compete for resources and cause problems.

  ------------------------------------------

  Please make these top-down, even if you have some before fact as is often the set of operations which solves the problem.
  It's a checklist and not a menu.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

• Satellite L750-11W - DVD rom doesn't read any DVD

  The problem is very annoying, that the dvd rom is not reading my dvd;

  I tried to install a game on a dvd but it doen't want to read it, I have, but another dvd (different game) and it read; the two DVD works on other laptops (I checked)

  DVDs are not made by me, they are purchased in the store

  any ideas on what's going on? I reinstalled the driver but nothing

  I use w7 ultimate x 64

  I found your other son that you posted some time there is failure of CD/DVD drive.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=72663

  My idea was to clean the laser lens, but has already been suggested in other threads as well.

  In my opinion, there is not much to do sometimes firmware could be updated to improve the compatibility between the different discs, but this is possible only in case these packages would be available.
  I checked the page of the Toshiba UE driver and firmware update is not available for the series L750.
  So I guess that your problem is related to the WEIRD malfunction.

• Satellite M30X-144 DVD - RAM cannot read DVD

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite M30X-144 and I'm having a problem with my DVD player (Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8315).

  I can play CDs, but when I put any kind of DVD in there, it does not read anything.

  What can I do to solve it?

  Hi João,.

  you have a problem with your DVD player? I suggest the following:

  Remove the disc in the "device manager" Windows, let windows reinstall, test if it works. If the same problem persists contact an ASP in local (certified partner)
  because your drive is probably faulty then your machine should be checked by a qualified technician.
  Here is a site where you can find the nearest ASP:

  I hope that I helped you a little bit of the problem of your Satellite M30X. ;)

• Satellite Pro U200: DVD - RAM cannot read media

  Greetings

  I have a problem with a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ 8425 in my notebook U200.
  When I insert the CD or DVD in the engine, it cannot read the media.
  The engine starts and runs disc twice or three times, then turn of.

  I have this laptop for 2 months, and only since yesterday, I have this problem.
  In Device Manager it is shown in working order,
  I have change the driver but it's still doesn't work...

  Can you help me to find out where is the problem?

  Hello

  It will be interesting to know does this happen with all sorts of data on the disks. Try checking Autoplay options in the ODD properties.

  By the way: you can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?

• Satellite U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

  My CD/DVD drive does not work.

  It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

  If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

  I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

  Help please.
