I have a puzzle unrelated to Emailer, but am hoping the collective
wisdom here can offer some help.
CD's won't mount on my eMac G4 (512 MB memory, running 10.3.5).
When I insert a CD into the tray and close it, the CD churns for a
few seconds and ejects. Repeated attempts produce the same result.
BUT, a DVD inserted into the same drive plays normally. Is this a
hardware issue (bad drive) or a software issue? This happens with
music CDs and also today with my TurboTax install CD.
TIA for any help or insights - a trip to Apple is not in the cards
right now, time-wise.
Do you have multiple users on your Mac? If so, does it happen in all
user accounts? If you don't have multiple users, make a new one, log
in as that user, and see if it still happens. If not, then it is a
software problem, something is screwing up the read of CDs. Do you
have 3rd party burning software installed?
Also, repair your permissions before you do anything else, it is a
step that never hurts to do, and can sometimes fix odd problems.
