I bought the Dark Was the Night compilation and every time I put it in my computer it makes a few sounds and then spits it back out. I've not had this problem with any other albums. My disc drive was replaced by Apple, not upon my request. I've also had problems when burning a cd, it will spit the blank cd back out at me, but I've never had a problem with a store bought album before. Any help would be wonderful.

P.S. My MBP is out of warranty and I do not have apple care.
 
sounds like your DVD drive could be on its way out-same thing happened to me.. it only gets worse from here in lol..
 
Well like I said, it's newer than the computer and I don't have issues with any other discs.

same thing happened to me, at first it was just one CD.. then it was all blank CDs, then it was blank DVDs, then it was the Leopard retail disc! 😱😱

terrible shame 🙁
 
Does anyone else have Dark Was the Night? Perhaps you could give it a shot, but again, they replaced my disc drive, I don't know what came stock at the time (August '07), but I've now got a Matshita DVD-R UJ-857E.
 
Sounds like your drive is going bad. Mine does the same. Its no biggie just get it replaced. (It may be a biggie if you don't have apple care.)

like me haha.. its $400 for me to get it replaced!! what a rip.. ill buy a caddy and put a HD inside there 🙂
 
Get a disc cleaner. Run it 3-4 times. I ran into this kind problem with my 17" mbp sometimes. Should be good to go after that.
 
If it does come down to me getting it replaced, do you think I could get them to do it for free? They replaced my old one without me asking them to. It had nothing wrong with it.
