[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1587460, member: 42497"] If it has stopped working for DVDs and did, the optical drive may well be on the way out. DVDs are much more an 'intensive' read than CDs which is why they go first. iMacs, like MacBooks, alas have a slot loading optical drive which is much more prone to failure than a tray loader in other desktops. Suggest purchasing a cheap external. I use a Samsung SE-208 no problems at all with my iMac. It has dual USB connectors and is bus powered so mains not required. [/QUOTE]
