#MAC DVD DRIVE PROBLEMS PRO#

None of my authorizations are on that drive.ĭoes this sound like an OS issue, a failing SSD, or, some kind of virus behavior, or.

Unfortunately, it's not my old system drive, so, I can't just use that drive. When I boot from that drive, I have access to everything. One of the hardwired drives has an OS on High Sierra. I've tried these things in Recovery Mode (I'm not able to boot into Safe Mode). I've used the Terminal in recovery Mode to try to boot the CD drives (diskutil mount ). Things I've tried: I've reset the SMC, I've reset NVRAM, I've First Aided the main drive and tried to manipulate the CD drives with Disk Utility. You will then be prompted to restart your computer. Under Boot Options, tick Safe Boot and click OK. On System Configuration, go to the Boot tab. To enter Safe Mode, press Windows + R to open Run. You can confirm this by using the DVD drive in Safe Mode. Today, my MOTU 896s, connected by FireWire stopped showing up today. Some apps or programs could cause DVD drives to stop working. The three drives that are hardwired into the shell of the computer (not easily removable) sporadically show up. The four that are in the Bays of the computer are always showing, the four external drives are always showing. Other symptoms, some of the hard drives aren't always appearing. This happens even when I have had no other programs open and have restarted only with Disk Utility open.

If I try to mount, or, eject them, I get a message that they cannot be ejected because they are in use by another program. In Disk Utility, they show up as if unmounted. Symptoms: Within the last week, I no longer see prerecorded CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs that are inserted into the drives in Finder, or, iTunes, or, other programs. I have 7 internal drives, 4 external drives, an internal optical CD/DVD drive and an external Blu-ray drive. I've upgraded the graphics card for Mojave.

I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro 2 x 3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon. I believe that I've been on 10.14.6 for a while too, but, I don't remember that for a fact. I've been on Mojave for a while, so, it's not just due to my switch to Mojave.
