 CD's not mounting I have a Titanium G4 powerbook with a Matshita DVD ROM. I have just installed MAC OS 10.2 and I can no longer mount CD's. Music CD's will mount and appear on the desktop but certain CD's refuse to mount, the computer just whirs and then gives up. If I restart in Mac OS 9.1 I can mount the same CD's without a problem. I have tried zapping the pram but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Julian Titanium G4, OS 10.2/9.1, 400mhz, 384MB, 10GB rom.  |

| Same Here I too have this problem. I noticed it usually with burned discs. I was wondering if you had found an answer to your problem. Can anyone help us out? |

| When you say certain, what are they? Are they the Sony copy-protected ones, CD-Rs? Can you mount other CDs (like the OS 9 boot CD, and boot from it, for example)?

| Almost always CD-Rs. To get around this problem, I usually load a music cd, let it mount, eject it then insert the CD-R. After these steps, it mounts fine. Oh yeah, this is with a tiBook 1GHz. I appreciate any insight to this problem you may offer me. |

| I have a similar problem but with all removable media. I can load and CD if it's through an external CD burner. This didn't help me but maybe it will for you: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showth...pear+on+desktop -wing |

| I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but I would hazard a guess that maybe they are poor quality CD-R discs... I experience the same problem in my car with some CD-Rs hehe. I'm surprised it's happening with your new Tibook though. Try calling Apple and see what they say.

| Likewise here, I just got myself a super cheapo PowerBook G4 Titanium (550Mhz) with 512 MB RAM and also running a Matshita CD-RW/DVD-ROM (Combo Drive). Movies DVDs play flawlessly. CDROM also work fine. Burning CD-R has never been easier with iTunes. But when it comes to reading DVD-ROM, it just refuse to mount at all. By using Disk Utility, I can see that the DVD-ROM is indeed in the Combo Drive, but it's just not mounting. Any ideas? |
