I inserted a half size instruction CD that came with a bluetooth device I bought. I got a copy of it and original's in the trash. Whew! I can't see anything wrong with the CD, no label to get in the way, the catalog track and all else looks unblemished. Eventually, I shut the lid, putting the machine to sleep, and came to the MBPro at this website hunting for help I returned, planning to try a reboot, opened the lid, and the CD ejected, I think, or at least was fully ejected when I tried the eject button. In the G4, I got it to mount and copied the tunes into a folder on the desktop, and the eject button led to a whimpy whir and the disk jammed part-way out. The CD would barely mount, nor in my MacBookPro. I had a quite similar experience with a new commercial audio CD, in a G4 Powerbook. "Read other people's messages before posting your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been said." So I have, and it is obvious that lots of folks are suffering from the same glitch, not just on MacBooks, but here on a G4 Powerbook w OSX I report this in hopes that Apple picks up on it, as AppleCare Mike has suggested. Then I unmounted the drive manually and saw that the link on my desktop was gone, I tried ejecting via the keyboard once more and voila: Stuck DVD unstucked! I gave up after 2 minutes.Īs I have some experience with linux, I wanted to mount the drive manually to see if I could drag it to the bin to eject, I mounted it manually, dragged it to the bin, got the message 'drive is in use, force eject?' I clicked on force eject, osx said nicely 'cd ejected' and nothing happened. I first tried to press eject, but after 17 times or so I gave up doing that.įirst I looked here, and tried the '10 minute' approach.

I have since a week a macbook pro and found out that my superdrive liked to keep my dvd. Please note 2: if this doesn't work, you can also try to eject the cd/dvd via the 'drag to bin' way in between the mount and umount commands. oh, don't try to mount the s1 or s2 after Disk1/2/3/4 etc.
Please note: for me my cd is /dev/disk4, for you it could be something else. Sudo mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/disk4 /Volumes/CDROM
Mount the CD manually, unmount the CD manually, press eject button.

Hopefully, the driver architectute in Leopard cleans up all the crazy anomolies like this - ie incomplete enmeration of use-cases (of course these ever-gowing loose threads represent the price appple pays for not using UML for design and SDL for testing!). or more precisely, a user-level command to OVER-RIDE the "protection" apple (forcibly) offers to users from "accidently" making hardware "errors".

This is a weird example of where 'pc' media will work on a pc harware connected to a mac without a driver! (patchburn doesnt really work on tiger anymore) but will NOT work on mac hardware! (apple oem drives).Īnyways, the sleep/wake seems to decouple the i/o arbitration framework in osx - which underscores the magnitude of apple's oversight viz not having created any user-based (but low-level) system command to disconnect a device. but strangely the H10N *can* burn +RW eraseables but not -RW eraseables (firmware JL10). in this case, the external dvd drive is an LG GSA-H10N (which otherwise is a totally USELESS drive on a mac becuase it cant burn S/L or D/L ±R. Yet the same (PC burned) disc caused NO such problem when plyaed back from an *external* dvd drive that was _not_ ASAS! (apple shipped/supported). This disc failed on the internal (apple oem) dvd drive drive of TWO different macs - on both a powerpc mini as well as a intel C2D macbook!. My circumstance: a D/L disc burned on a pc had a couple of files (when launched) that would cause the dvd drive to grind (endlessly) - any & all access to machine it would be impossible! * let the drive STOP all access to the disc (listen for whirring sounds)
