90% of the time I put a disc in the drive it doesn't show up on the desktop. More common when they are discs of just images. Any reason why?

What Mac and version of the OS are you running? When running the OS it shipped with, 10.3.4, my G5 would exhibit the same behavior; it drove me mad until I found others with the same issue. It turned out to be an incompatibility with the Radeon 9800 that was fixed with 10.3.5.

Usually when disc dont show up its becase the OS does not recognized the format, or the drive cannot read the format (eg. a - DVD trying to read a + disc might cause issues).
Can you give us a bit more info on the problem and kinds of discs:
Does this happen with discs of any kind (audio cds, dvds, data)?
Are the discs burned disc or does this happed with original discs too?

Maybe a stupid response, but check under Finder Preferences and make sure check mark is beside Show CDs on desktop is checked

I found an applescript somewhere (forgot where) called "forcemount CD" that is useful when trying to mount windows-burned disks from EZ CD Creator where the session has not been "closed."

Sometimes volumes don't appear because the Finder is just a POS. If you check in /Volumes (use the go menu -> go to folder), a lot of the time they are mounted all along. Relaunching the POS Finder sometimes rectifies the situation. Possibly using Path Finder would help.

I have the same problem on two of my macs but not on the third.. All running 10.4.1.
i have to eject and reload 3 or 4 times before it takes it though.

It's not a volume thing. It doesn't show up at all. I checked and I do have CDs, DVDs, and iPods checked. I'm using Mac OSX 10.3.9. I mostly have put in audio discs and they are the ones that tend not to show up. The one that finally brought me to posting was just a regular, real, not burned audio cd.
