Friends - Just wondering if anyone has had this prob. After updating to
10.4.11 (although I am NOT saying this is the fault; just coincidental
timing perhaps), the tray on my Pioneer 107D will only open and close
once, and only after a shutdown/startup. It will not open or close
after a restart, nor if after the first open/close after the
shutdown/startup. It works fine otherwise; buring and reading. I've
used the keyboard, drag and drop, disk utility, terminal commands, menu
option items, itunes, toast, "about this mac" and system profiler. All
re****t that the device is fully functional but nothing will open/close
the drawer bar the trusty paperclip or the shutdown/startup option.
I've read of an Aussie guy in the Mac forums who claims that this
problem is due to a software conflict between the OS update and
microsoft security thingie.....I have also read of many other people
suffering similar strange problems on the forums vis-a-vis the
superdrive. They all seem to have started within the last few months.
My question to this group - Anyone else has similar probs and short of
replacing the drive (as suggested at the Mac Sup****t Forums), any
solutions????
thanks in advance to anyone who has any ideas!! And safe and happy hols!!
cheers,
sam
