I got a new PowerBook 12" with SuperDrive replacing my old one... all is working as before, except:

When I insert a blank DVD or CD, it recognizes it, pops up the little dialog asking what I want to do, Open Finder is the default, I leave that selected and type in a name for the disk, hit Ok and off it spins for a bit...

however, where always in the past a CD icon would appear to which I could drag files and then ultimately burn the disk... that doesn't happen now... nothing appears!! (It doesn't appear on the desktop, in the sidebar, nor in the listing under the computer. Preferences say CDs should show up in all those places.)

Any ideas? I desperately need to burn some stuff tonight...


Thanks for any clues.

My girlfriend's ibook had that problem when she first got it. I called Apple and they had me delete a cache file, then everything was fine. Unfortunately, I cant remember which cache file it was.

However, you can download this utility

which can delete all your system cache files, and hopefully put you back in business.
