Mac keeps ejecting discs? Don’t replace it quite yet. Posted by Ant on March 6th. Get your hands on a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit. These are sold in stores like Staples and Best Buy, usually for a price of $10-$20. I bought a CD cleaner, but my Mac won’t keep that CD in either so I can’t get it cleaned.

Check your media and hardware

  1. CD-340 Apple CD/CD-ROM Laser Lens Cleaner - Apple CD/CD-ROM Laser Lens Cleaner Description Cleans contaminated laser lens surface and restores music performance. Automatic operation with instructions on disc. This item is new in retail packaging. This item is in stock and can ship today.
  2. If you’re wiping a mechanical drive, click “Security Options” in the window that pops up. (If your Mac has a solid state drive, you can skip this part: your SSD will already securely erase files thanks to TRIM. You still need to wipe the drive, however, or your files will remain in place, so skip to the end of this step to do so.).
  3. Every sign pointed to either a broken optical drive or malfunction due to dusty lens. I already had issue with dust on the lens of various CD/DVD drives in the household (eg. The Hi-Fi system and my old PC had problems reading CDs too and a manual cleaning of the lens helped - I tried a lens cleaning kit too, but it was worth nothing).
  • Determine what kind of drive you have and the media itsupports. For example, a DVD drive is required to read DVDs. Fordetailed information about your system, from the Apple menu, selectAbout This Mac, and then click MoreInfo... You can also contact your vendor (e.g., contactApple for an internal drive included with your Mac).
  • Make sure you have the correct side facing up. For single-sideddiscs, the label should face up, unless the drive is verticallymounted, in which case the label should be facing toward you. Fordouble-sided DVDs, flip the disc over and see if it willmount.
  • Make sure the disc is correctly placed in the drive.
  • See if the disc is dirty or damaged. The easiest way to do thisis to try it in another computer with a compatible drive. If it's anaudio CD or a video DVD, you might also try it in a CD or DVDplayer. If you suspect your disc is dirty, clean it with a soft, dampcloth. Use water or a dedicated CD/DVD cleaner such as Klear Kloths, and do not touchthe shiny surface with your fingers. If you suspect your CD or DVD isdamaged, repair kits are available from many vendors.
  • Try another disc of the same type in the drive. If you havetrouble with both discs, you may have software problems, or your drivemay need to be cleaned or repaired.

I could be wrong about that one though.Macs 'don't do' executable files. Also I think there is a way to not automatically verify dmg files, which will sometimes let you mount dmg's with 'weird behaviors'. What is a dmg file and can i delete it video. If it won't mount it's possible the file is corrupted, or incomplete. I think of them as a disk within a disk.
