CD's Not Mounting In OS 10.2.4 - A Workaround

OSXFAQ Reader Tip By Shalamar Quinones

I'd been experiencing an issue that I noticed from reading many forums a lot of other OS X users were having as well.

Every once in a while a CD would not mount on the desktop but would be visable by disk utility. It would happen with original CD's, Data CD's, Music CD's and burned CD's.

I would try restarting etc... nothing would get it to show up! I tried restoring the permissions, nothing. Disk utility was not finding any problems either.

Finally out of desperation I decided to log in as a fake user and see if that user could see the disc... and it could!

Then when I re-logged in as myself the disc appeard.

It's happend one other time since then and I did the exact same thing and it worked.

Hope this little trick can help others.

Enjoy :-)
