Cd/dvd slot on new Mac Book Pro?

Is there a cd/dvd slot on the new Mac Book Pro?

...but the NON-Retina models DO have optical drives. You can also buy an external optical drive from Apple (or other vendors).

  • How can i create dvds on my new mac book pro

    I just purchased a new mac book pro retina and cant create dvds?

    Apple decision to remove iDVD will deter me from recommending Mac to fellow Windows users.
    Many other Mac users feel the same way.

    Now that my newly bought Mac does not provided a avenue for me to burnt DVDs, I am
    really disappointed.
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

    The new MBP non retina has an optical drive. 

  • I've ordered a new mac book pro 15" and i need to clean hard drive off my old PC...not really to move them to the mac, but just to save in case needed; mostly pics and office docs....any suggestions?

    Buy an external USB hard drive and copy your data to it.  Either that or burn them all to single or double layer DVDs (depending on amount of data you have).  Or if it's really a small amount, consider putting it all on a USB memory stick.

  • Can't get WIFI on my new Mac Book Pro

    Setting up my new Mac Book Pro and on the WiFI page, I see and select my network name.  Enter password and it hangs.  Try other networks and get same result.  I have two iPads and they work fine as do other devices. I thought I maybe maxed out on my router so I disconnected two iPads from the network and the Mac still hangs after I enter the password.  I know the the PW is right cause I can reconnect my iPads.  DSL router is a Century Q1000. Does the Mac Book Pro require a different WiFi router?

    A sad loss to bundled software, with, I presume, their thinking being that optical media is soon to be a thing of the past. Superdrives have been done away with in the newer MacAirs and MacBook Pros and will eventually disappear in all devices. Downloading Apps, updated, visual and audio media, etc. will all take place via wireless transfer, as with SmartPhones and Tablets. Therefore who will need a program that makes great DVDs?
    Me for one. Still have iDVD on my iLife '11 DVD and will keep it until all my Macs are no longer supported, which could be next year or next decade, who would know. So as babowa says, get a DVD while they are still available.
    Good Luck

    Oh yeah, forgot about that, I would choose to get a faster internet connection before  I got a new computer so I rarely think that way, thanks.
    Well honestly my internet was fast enough for me unit I got a MBP that you had to use the internet to reinstall the OS. Because it didn't come with a $.32 DVD disc.
    I have a 50mbps connection, kinda skews my viewpoint regarding internet speed.

    Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing.    36 hours is rather long.  Seems like a new migration.  Not what I intended.
    Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter.  That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user.  Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
    36 hours?  I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here?  Or a really, really slow disk?  Or a sick backup?  (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
    Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic.  Does your existing (old) system work?   If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage.  (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!)  In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk.  Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
    Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire.  And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
    The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

  • I have purchased the last Creative Suite available on disk. It will load on my old Mac Book Pro.  I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and just realized there is no place to put a disk.  Is there any way to load the programs to my new computer?

    Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
    Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
    Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
    Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

    .. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update"  It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

  • Problems with new Mac Book Pro 13'' +power adaptor

    Hi there,
    I'm new here and first of all I'd like to appologize from my lack of technical language, since my only interesst in computers is that they don't give me problems so I can keep not knowing too much about them.
    Ok, so I bought the new Mac Book Pro 13'' exactly 2 months ago cause my old and long travelled Power Book G4 died. I didn't hesitate to spend the money to buy the new one, cause I was so happy with my experience with the old one and in my mind returning to PCs was not even considered.
    BUT...I'm not totally happy about my new laptop...from day 1 Safari would just close itself but I didn't give too much thought about it. After this, not only Safari can close up to several times a day, but also iphoto or any other program that I use for work. But that's not all..One day it would take minutes to start running and it would go extremely slow...another day it would start also very slow but also it wouldn't show the tools bar on top or my folders. Another time it would show me, instead of the normal starting page, a page where it would ask me to accept or not a kind of revision for hardware. After so many problems of course I pressed yes...everything seemed normal, then computer started and seemed to be running normal again (aside from this safari and other programs that shut down). Today my computer, when moved, just went totally blank but fortunately I could start it with nor problems after it.
    So...anyone knows what the problem must be?? Should I take it to a Technical service ??? and there's another issue...i'm handing in m phD in a week so I can't just be without computer now, and in a week I'm flying to Canada where I also will need my computer for work...what can I do???
    And the second problem...the power adaptor from the beginning seemed to act funny sometimes...sometimes charching, sometimes not, I would follow the instructions in the support part and after being several minutes changing one cord for the other, to keep it 1 minute disconnected and so at some point it would start functioning again. But this happened seldom so also I would think it was a protectiion mechanism of the adapter. But, when this is happening more often than not, then it gets annoying. Also I've been transporting it in a careful way since I bought it to find that after only 2 months in the cord (from the computer to adaptor) you can see the internal cable as if there was some cut...a third one seems to be appearing too. I've taken it to the technical support and the guy who was helfpul but also honest said he couldn't do anything for me cause since there were those cuts, he could always be said that it was a misuse of it-an accident and then he would have to pay the replace himself. Well, it's not!!! My old adaptor has been transported in a way less careful way and it's survived with NO problems for 5 years. The material is clearly different from the old cord. This one because it's new, I only need to put it in a special bag air protected. Honestly I don't feel happy to pay 80 € for an adaptor that I don't know if it's gonna last me only 2 months or that I know I can't transport normally. The guy suggested me to ask in forums and to call directly to the apple technical service.
    Again, has anyone had any similar problems with the adaptor???

    Take it to an Apple retailer and have the computer repaired.  It is still in warranty.

  • TS3694 Just took my 1st gen iPod out of it's original box, never used before.  Plugged it into my new Mac book Pro and it recognizes that the iPod is in recovery mode but when I click to restore, error 1611 comes up - but that error code doesn't say what

    I had an 8GB 1st gen iPod in it's original box in storage and just took it out to hook it up.  Charged it overnight, plugged it into new Mac Book Pro and it was recognized as being an iPod in recovery but other identifying information was all indicated as "n/a" (so, unknown OS, etc).  Error code 1604 came up so I downloaded iTunes on the Mac Book and it is currently showing version 10.  But now when I try to restore the iPod, error code 1611 comes up and the troubleshooting doesn't tell me what else to try.  The USB connector that came with the iPod was also never used before - brand new also from the box so that should be fine.  I also tried a different USB port on the Mac Book.  Any ideas?

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
