Unable to play or rip CD

Need urgent help.

My Windows Media Player is fuck or something!

I have a pop CD in the music will not play? It does not even show upward.

Also can not copy a CD it says "cd player is needed in order to extract the CD."

In the past, I could play and rip CDs.

Who is wrong?

Thank you

Hello

Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.

Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART 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 coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

===============================

Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
do it right.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
the correct registry entries for your car.

Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
the parameters.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

You can probably find more info here and maybe even the exact registry for your CD/DVD settings
drive from someone with the same model.

Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

DevManView - free - an alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager, which displays all the
devices and their properties in flat table, instead of the tree viewer

I hope this helps.

    Hi narly101,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. From what you have said, it seems that you are able to view the performance on other devices.
    Because it is related to the AppleTV, there are a few things that we can try to get this performance to play.

    Update the software on your Apple TV - Apple Support

    Once you try again after the update, or if there is no update to do, so go ahead and restart your Apple TV:

    How to restart your Apple TV

    If the problem persists you can consider restoring the AppleTV to factory settings.

    Other performance being able to play, it may be isolated to this one show. If this is the case, you are able to report the concern in the menu video performance.

    Another option because it works on other devices is AirPlay from the computer to the AppleTV.

  • Qosmio X 870 - GTX 670 M - unable to play all games

    Hello

    I got this new laptop about 3 weeks ago and since I am unable to play all the games using the GTX 670 M GPU. I am able to access the game menu but not less than 30 seconds to play any game, I get a black screen and it brings back me to the desktop.

    I updated the driver, and it shows in Device Manager it does not work properly. I reinstalled the computer to factory setting but still the same problem. The strange thing is that I am able to play all the games using the basic GPU Intel HD 4000 but not the GTX 670 M. Please if anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > I updated the driver, and it shows in Device Manager it does not work properly.

    Maybe you should use another driver from nVidia page.
    There are also a few 3rd party pages provide updated drivers the.

  • Satellite C50 - A - 15 L: unable to play audio or video via the media player

    Hi all

    I have problems with my player functions and media browser suddenly - it seems to have taken place after a "significant recent update" (causes more problems than the patches).

    In any case, since this update, I was unable to play video or audio files using the media player or cut and paste all the items when sorting of files.

    All very well before, but now when I pointed out and click "cut", the timer of the cuts and the window goes right to the "not responding". Drag and drop works OK, then go back to delete files.

    Regarding the multimedia files, double-click one and no response, click 'open' and right, once again, nothing...

    Everyone has experienced similar problems?
    Whether a hotfix or patch?

    Thank you very much

    Matt

    From there where I bit you have no problem with the laptop but with Microsoft System.

    "Hotmail" isn t produced by Toshiba.
    If you have problems connecting to the Hotmail account, you must contact Microsoft technical support for help.

    By the way: you can always set the system back to the beginning point of time before receiving updates.
    Windows 8 creates a point of restoration automatically when Windows updates and other system maintenance events.

    Open charm bar (Win key + c), choose the Apps and search for Restore Point. Then click on settings. On the left side, you will see the option called create a restore point.
    New window will open. In the System Protection tab, select the system restore.
    Clicking next would lead to the next step when you restore the computer to the State it was before the selected event (windows update).

  • Unable to play/read CD, Media not found error.

    Unable to play/read CD, Media not found error. I have a HP DV5000 with a DVDROM 4084N and works on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I have searched and tried the FIXIT, remove the filter upper rendered the DVD cannot play, adding the lower filter PxHelp20 made unrecognizable car, remove both filters completely unusable, the player. The DVD portion will format, but not burn DVDs. Installation and update the device driver do not work, nor does to replace the Mitsumi CD-ROM driver. The drive works because after following all the tips, my computer died, and I could use my boot on drive drive to reinstall Vista (new installation). The irony is that it is my Microsoft Office 2003 disk that I need to be reinstalled. Any suggestions other than what I have already read & tried would be much appreciated.
