My iMac keeps spitting out discs. It will take some and then it will spits others out. I've tried just about everything. Anyone have any solutions? I was able to install Printshop and it took that disc. I burned some audio cd's and dvd's and it won't read them, just spits them out.

I had the same exact problem over the span of four months; I tried everything. Finally, I just took it into my local Authorized Apple repair store to replace in the optical drive and never has given me problems since.
