My optical drive will not open. The drive is on a table and I could not see that there was a disc already in it. I doubled my fun and am paying for it by screwing something up. I came back to Mac (Mac Pro, 2.66 Quad) last December.
I had to remove the drive and open it with a paper clip and resolved the problem. I grounded myself as I would for a PC, which I came from, with a wrist strap. I did something wrong as the keyboard command will not open the drive.
I just bought two new drives from New Egg as I need the extra capabilities for my photography business. Before I install them I would like some expertise as to what I may have done or what problems were waiting for me, unknown to me, that may have transpired once I opened the side door. I have already upgraded the RAM to 9 G and I did that myself. Just wondering if there is a software issue...Because...
The disc utility will not open either when I tried repair. the spinning cursor just keeps spinning and does not open the disc utility. I let it go for 20 minutes. This all occurred in the same time frame as the physical problem with two CD's in the optical drive. This is why I bought two new ones.
Let me know if I need to provide more info.
