MacBook ejects good disks - 09/27/15 12:59 PM
I've been installing software on a new drive in an older MacBook and, after a break of a few hours, the optical drive has decided to stop accepting disks.
The drive will physically accept disks but the software does not appear on the desktop. Then after several seconds, it spits the disk out again. Once, it decided not to eject, but I managed to get it out with right-click-hold following a shutdown and restart.
I'm guessing that something is preventing the drive from reading the disks. Does that sound like a reasonable assumption? If so, what's the cure? If not, what else might the issue be?
