[QUOTE="calmeforet, post: 1719494, member: 282580"] [b]clueless[/b] Thanks for responding. I was actually only changing the setting under CD,DVD preferences (the iMac was set to do nothing when a DVD is inserted), but I must have inadvertently pressed on the wrong key or clicked when I shouldn't have, because the next thing I knew the window was gone. I tried rebooting a couple of times but to no avail. I have a late 2015 iMac with OS 10.11.5 Now, nothing happens when I insert a disc. CDs and DVDs used to appear in the finder window, and CDs used to appear also in iTunes. Now there is no reaction whatever. I don't know what file corresponds to "CD,DVD preferences" and therefore cannot even attempt to replace the damaged(?) file with one from my backup. Nor do I know how to reinstall or partially resintall the system so get it back to what it was before the 'accident'. [/QUOTE]
