I've got a problem with my Mac which I haven't been able to find an answer to online yet. Basically I bought a G5 dual processor (not core) off a mate, it's running on Leopard, and since the leopard upgrade, the optical drive has been unable to read CD's- but not entirely. DVD's are fine, DVDR's of various types are fine, and I just tried the first World of Warcraft installation CD to see if the 'autoplay' installation would prompt the computer to read the disc, and it did. I began to install the game to see if it would read subsequent discs, but alas as I placed the 2nd disc in the drive- again, it wasn't read.
No other CD's have able to have been read on the computer (the drive attempts to read them then merely stops - no messages on screen) and this has been attempted with a multitude of discs - software, music and burnt- and I'm positive it's a firmware issue - not a hardware one. Is anyone aware of any patches for this specific problem, as there hasn't been a software update I've downloaded yet that has fixed the problem
Help or ideas outside of 'it's a copy protection issue' or 'format your drive and reinstall Leopard' would be greatly appreciated!
