I have a 12" PB 1.2GHZ and occassionally when I put in a cd (haven't noticed it on a dvd yet), the drive will start making this ugly clicking noise. The disc will show up on the desktop, however, when I try to access it it just keeps spinning. If I eject it and re-insert it, it usually clears up the problem. It only happens intermittently. Is this a normal bug that a lot of people have or is it something I should get Apple to replace? I bought my PB in February this year so it still under warranty.

Doesn't sound right. I'd suggest taking it to a service provider or Apple store and have someone take a look at it.

They made 1.2 PB's? If you're talking about the clicking when you insert the CD, that is very normal. If your saying that the CD ticks while it's spinning that's a problem. As for the CD not reading all the time, I know that for the 1+year I've had my 12" I've had a handful of times where I'd have to put in a CD twice, don't know the reason but it hardly warrants me sending the little bugger in for it. If you do live near an Apple tech, it wouldn't hurt to take it in and let them diagnose the problem, have you tried the Hardware test on your PB?

Oops. Typo 1.33Ghz. The clicking sound I'm talking about is after the disc has been inserted and is spinning. It was a weird sound. I've had the computer for about 2 months now and I've inserted a CD about 6 or 7 times and it has happened 3 times. Not a great percentage. I guess I'll take it down to the Apple store and see what one of the Geniuses has to say.
