My MacMini DVD/CD player won't 'accept' any DVDs/CDs. I can Insert the DVD a bit but then something is blocking it. There's no other DVD/CD in the drive and Nothing else stuck in it. It just won't go any further.
I've never had problems with it before but now I can only insert it a bit but it won't 'grab' the DVD/CD.
I'm beginning to thing this thing is on the 'Fritz'......(Crappy components, Apple!!) mad

You can try one of these or Apple has their external for around $80. I've put a few of these on some customer's machines and they seem okay so far. There's also a newer 218 model at Amazon.

How are they going to get your email address just from visiting the website? Take off the tinfoil hat. LOL.

Yo, dontchoo know nuttin'? smirk

Any Amazon link I click opens within my account, so natcherlee, this AM's Amazon email included optical drives among the recommended items.

I could unsub from the mailing list or kill the cookies, but at least once a week there's something worth looking into.
