works now!

i don't know what happened, but now it is working. i did't do anything because the power went out, and then i restarted it and it worked. go figure. i had this problem a while back, and it came back after a few days. go figure

Usually a reboot fixes many of these minor problems.

yeah. this happens to me every few days. i don't know what it could be. my burner can burn cds when this happens though. wierd.

I never did trust those slot loading drives, gotta have a tray!

Chris, knows what he likes!

on the old iMacs, the tray loading ones looked so ugly, and the slot load just looked better. when the cd gets stuck you have to use a paper clip and poke it around (carefully) on the right side. at least that's in the iMac that i have.

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem (with the same setup but with the 48x12x48x lacie ext fw drive) ever since installing iTunes 4/QT 6.2.

Whenever i insert an audio cd the finder comes up with "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click ignore" Hiting eject does the obvious, clicking ignore leaves the disc in the drive, unmounted and invisible to Apple System Profiler.

The same disc, and the multiple others i have tried work fine in OS9.

I've even tried an "Enhanced CD" - again i can access the data part but not the audio???

I don't think this is anything to do with the slot loading drive as i have never had this problem before - well definately not this specific anyway.
Is this something specific to Itunes?

 

[bennetsaysargh]

i think it might be with iTunes 4 because now that i think about it, it has only been since iTunes 4.

wouldnt it be cool if the imac would be slot loading?

 

[bennetsaysargh]

the new iMacs with a slot loading drive would be really cool looking.

i am able to plug in my new iPod, but only sometimes. it's really confusing.
