My Macbook has today decided not to accept any CDs or DVDs: they go in reluctantly (they don't get 'sucked in' like they sed to), don't spin up, and then get spat back out. I tried "helping" one in, but then it got stuck and I had to reboot holding down the trackpad button to get it to eject. I'm thinking small-boy-induced hardware failure, is there _anything_ I can try before putting it in for repair?
(Incidentally, I've tried sharing my iMac's DVD drive and then connecting from an instance of WIndows XP in VMWare (which is where I need the disk) but when I access the machine I only see the shared printer - I've tried connecting by \\192.168.1.125\stuart (which is the correct short account name) but Windows claims not to be able to find the address and doesn't prompt for authentication like it should do) --stuart --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
