[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1815787, member: 56379"] Hello Drewber. [B]Idea #1:[/B] Since this seems to happen only on one computer (sometimes works...but most of the time it doesn't)...one thing I would check on is to see if the preference settings are the same between all computers. Go to: Apple Drop Down Menu >> System Preferences >> CD's & DVD's Check to see if the selections here are the same on all computers. The settings/selections here are not very high-tech...but who knows. [B]Idea #2: [/B]When was the last time this iMac was rebooted? Sometimes a reboot can help. [B]Idea #3: [/B]Maybe the iMac that is being troublesome needs some maintenance (maybe a preference file or something has gotten corrupted). If you don't already have it...download & install the free maintenance app called "Onyx". Once installed...launch it...then click on the "Automate" or "Execute" button...and let it do its thing.
