I have an imac G-4 running OS 10.3.9. I was trying to burn a DVD-R with toast, and when I inserted the blank disk, it was ejected and toast requested that I insert a blank disk. I thought that maybe I had mistakenly put in a disk I already recorded, or maybe a bum disk, so I tried another...same thing. I then tried to insert a Music CD...it would't mount. I tried a number of disks, still no luck.
I then tried to verify and repair permissions with disk utility. It ran for maybe 5 minutes and then an error message appeared "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue.Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility" Same think happened when I relaunched.
I just burned a DVD the other day, and it was fine. Now when I insert a disk, I don't hear the usual subtle hum when a disk was being mounted...I get nothing.
I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but this appeared to happen right after I installed the updates to iTunes, Safari and Apple i-pod updater.
Help!
