New computer doesn't have CD/DVD driveow can I install this on my new computer. WanderinStar1 Nov 3, 2012 2:20 PM I would like to install my copy of Photoshop Elements 10 on my new computer. Most Mac laptop computers have a slot for discs, while some Mac desktops have a slide-out tray. 2 Click the iTunes button in your Dock if it doesn't open automatically.

I have a iMacG5 purchased about 13 months ago, it ran all CD/DVD operations without a problem using the factory 10.3.9 OS. After upgrading(?) to 10.4.5 OS the SuperDrive will not now mount any DVD+RW, ejects all CD-RW, but will take and run the Applecare'Techtool'CD. All conditions on System Profiler/Discburning are Yes. I am going to put up with this untill it starts to **** me off,(or some kind soul comes up with a fix) then I'll send the entire unit back to Cupertino. Any comments or suggestions will accepted.

IMacG5 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iMacG5 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5). All of you must remember that only users with problems tend to post messages here. Considering how many SuperDrives there are in iMacs & how popular the model is, the most logical conclusion is that they are generally reliable but some lemons get through & some are damaged after they leave the factory. The same logic applies to updates: if an update really was responsible for killing the drives, there would be many, many posts about it instead of the handful you find here.

A mechanical problem, like Teresa's feeling resistance when inserting disks, represents a real failure that needs attention by a technician. Not recognizing disks that are 'grabbed' is something else, & could be caused by file system damage, permissions problems, bad disks, corrupted PRAM, a dirty laser lens, etc. It is best to start your own thread or add to ones with exactly the same symptoms rather than 'piggybacking' on an only superficially related one. This cuts down on confusion & makes it easier for those willing to help to diagnose the cause of the problem & its cure. So much for 'piggybacking on a superficially related thread'. BUT: I'm having exactly the same problem.

After updating all my software, my DVD player has been, literally, ********. Music cd's work fine, but when I insert a DVD, I hear a horrible clicking, scratching sound (reminiscent of steel fingernails on a chalkboard). The application starts up, and freezes after some more awful noises. And here's the big punchline: On more than a few occasions, the disk drive has LAUNCHED MY DVD's ACROSS THE ROOM upon ejecting My iMac has become a dangerous weapon! What is going on, and how can I (and the rest of the people on this thread) have our old DVD player capabilities back?

IMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6). What is going on, and how can I (and the rest of the people on this thread) have our old DVD player capabilities back? What is going on is that a number of people have posted several unrelated problems in the thread started by Teresa Kille for resolution of her problem. This is called 'threadjacking.' Not only is it rude to the original poster & those willing to give her detailed help specific to her issue, it is discouraged by Apple Discussion's, which states in part, 'Don't threadjack.
