Broken CD Rom drive and can't update

I have a Macbook Pro and I cannot update my computer. My biggest problem is that I cannot use my CD Rom drive to reload the old software. I need to know another way to get my computer updated so I can use my Itunes. What can I do?

1) Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive
2) Its not very tricky to remove the CD/DVD drive from the notebook. Its secured with one screw at the bottom of the unit. Remove the screw securing the optical drive module and use your hand to push the module and then you can slide the module from the bay
3) You will have to buy an compatible CD/DVD drive. The compatible drive could be ordered from your local Toshiba ASP

  • New i-pod broken cd rom drive- how can I import?

    My friend has a brand new i-iPod, but his cd rom drive isn't working.
    How can he import music? He has financial concerns, so buying a new drive/computer is not an option.
    He wants to use my computer, which is fine but then won't his iPod be linked to my computer? Sorry I'm not real knowledgable about these things.
    Can he put music onto his i-iPod from my i-iTunes, and then use his i-iPod to put it on his i-iTunes, so he can manage and edit?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Have a MBP mid 2009, had mavericks, changed hard drive and now have 10.6.8 and can't update to mavericks again. Any help?

    Hi,
    I Have a MBP mid 2009, 8 Gb RAM, had mavericks, changed hard drive to get more space (500Gb) and couldn't restart from time machine so had to install Snow Leopard, now have OS 10.6.8 and can't update to mavericks again. Any help?

    You did not contact us. This is just a user to user forum where we try to help each other out. No one here works for Apple and as far as we know Apple do not even come here. Ring back the number you originally called on and ask for an explanation.

  • I saved my itunes account to an external hard drive and can no longer access it

    i have saved my itunes account to an external hard drive, then deleted my account on my laptop to make space on my hard drive and can no longer get acces to my itunes account.

    If you move/copy your data back to internal drive, you should be able to add it to library, by clicking file add to library at the top of itunes.

  • I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2  9.0.2 to activate.  I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial number

    I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2  9.0.2 to activate.  I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial numbers.  I can't find a number that works to speak to a live person at Adobe.  I need to reduce the pixel size TODAY on some photos and need the program.  Is there another way to reduce pixels if I can't get my Photoshop running today?

    Where do I get the specially assigned serial number?????  I don't want to have to purchase anything since I already bought the CS2 and I don't need a newer version.
    Follow the prompts at the link provided by Ned.
    Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.
    It's free for existing owners of CS and CS2. Nothing more to purchase.

  • My mac is a 10.5.8 what steps do I take to up grade? I have an iphone 5 and can't update my phone on itunes.

    My Mac OS X (10.5.8) what steps do I take to up grade? I have an iphone 5, and can't update my phone using itunes.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

    I have an Ipod touch 6 and can't updated apps. When I click update, nothing happen. Any clue?
    Thanks,

    There is no iPod Touch 6.  The latest generation is iPod Touch 5.  Perhaps you mean you have an iPod running iOS 6.1.6.  If so, you have a 4th generation iPod which cannot update past 6.1.6.  A 5th generation iPod can run iOS 7
