I just got a macbook the other day. It's my first Apple computer, and I'm trying to like it but there is always an issue that stops me from enjoying it. I guess this is what I get for keeping the 512 megs of ram and not upgrading to at least a gig.
Anyways, one of the newest issues I'm having that I know can't be ram related is this one:
I have a lot of audio cds, and I want to rip them using itunes so that I can put them on my ipod nano. Now, I started ripping a few, and then suddenly some discs would not want to be read.
I would put the disc in the drive (a superdrive for those interested) and it would read it for a while and then would promptly eject the disc. With these albums I have no chance of ripping them, let alone listening to them.
I just put the disc in and about 10 seconds later it ejects.
At first I thought it was copy protection, but too many discs are being ejected, and some are from the same record label as others than worked, so I really doubt it's copy protection.
This is just pissing me off. I mean what the hell is this? What kind of shitty drive can't even read a simple audio disc? I really don't feel like having to rip my music on another computer every time, it's just a big hastle. You buy a new computer and you expect it to work, you expect it to do simple tasks such as play audio cds. As things stand, I can't even watch a video in Safari and chat on msn at the same time. As soon as the the safari window is not the one "selected" the video gets all choppy. Even the oldest laptop in the world should be able to handle such a simple task as that.
Is there any way to fix this issue of the audio discs? Firmware upgrade or something... I dunno, anything. I'd really apreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
