Upgraded to Lion last week. Loving it. However, straight after the update I noticed my superdrive wouldn't recognise (mount) CDs, though it would play DVDs just fine. I assumed that my drive was on the way out or maybe busted, as I did some forum trawling elsewhere and it seems there is evidence that this can sometimes happen (ie: the CD optics can fail but DVD optics carry on working). But, I thought this was somehow way too coincidental, as it was working fine before the Lion upgrade and only stopped working right after the update. So, I went into System preferences > CD & DVDs > and turned off the standard preferences I had selected, then went back in & turned them all back on again (same as my old settings) and the drive now works fine.  Just a heads up that this "glitch" may not be a failing drive, but more likely a system upgrade bug that is easily cleared. If it at least saves *one* trip for *one* person to a Mac store, it's worth my time typing this. cheers  Karlos chances are I think you are a douche. |

Glad it helped you Kyle
 Dont forget to use the Reputation System if someone has helped you out !!! “I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe |
