[QUOTE="sleepyjohn, post: 166462, member: 13999"] HELP PLEASE! I have an iBook G3 900/256. I'll give as many clues as possible. I can play DVDs and VCDs, but lately when I insert a blank CD it spins it, but i get no recognition such as an icon on my desktop or in a finder window. (It used to be OK). Actually I just spun one and it seemed to open iTunes automatically. Just tried again and it didn't. THis means i can't burn onto a disk and is a big pain. I did use a cleaning disk, with the littel brush on it, as i had had trouble opening VCDs.....it seemed to help although I didn't think much of the quality of the thing. I'm not sure that extra cleaning would make any difference as a blank CD I would have thought is simpler than a full one, but I'm giving all clues. Another clue...I did install OSX 10.4.3 a couple of months ago....it's possible that this started then....maybe a problem there? All systematic help would be greatly appreciated John [/QUOTE]
