Couldnt enable dvd or cd sharing

hi,
I'm trying to use dvd drive from fujitsu lifebook and that how it goes:
1. connecting via wifi on the same network
2. mac finds pc
3. ask permission to use drive
4. get permission
5. waiting for cd
after that nothing happens
what the problem is? How to solve?

Desmond,
There is no option because there is no DVD on a MBair. You enable DVD sharing on another Mac or PC. You're telling that other system to share it's DVD drive. When it's enabled on another system, you'll see "remote disc" on your MBair's finder bar.
Hope that helps..

Can't enable DVD or CD Sharing

Hi I just got my MBA yesterday, and I couldn't enable 'DVD or CD' sharing under 'Sharing' of System Preferences. There is simply no such option, only Screen sharing file sharing etc. What should I do?

No dvd or cd sharing available. Help?

Before I upgraded to Lion I could share my mini's optical drive, now i can not, and dont even have the option in sharing to enable DVD or CD sharing. Anyone know a fix?

found the answer elsewhere. The 13" Macbook Pro doesn't support shared disk browsing natively (my Mini servers do). To turn it on on the 13" the following commands do the trick:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true

Remote DVD or CD Sharing

I installed the DVD or CD Sharing software from the OS X install disk 1 on Vista. I enabled DVD or CD sharing via the control panel on Vista. I enabled allowing requests in Security/Firewall on the MBA. I put the DVD in the DVD device on the Vista.
Is there anything else I need to do on the Vista before the DVD shows up on the MBA under Remote Disk? Is there anything else I need to do on the MBA before the DVD shows up under Remote Disk on the MBA.
Using SMB I can connect the DVD device on the Vista so that it shows up under Sharing on the SMB.
What am I missing?
I want to use a data DVD mounted on the Vista to use a program (Rosetta Stone) on the MBA (perhaps this is not possible using Remote Disk; I can connect the USB DVD/CD device directly to the USB port on the MBA and access the data DVD that way but it is inconvenient. Never-the-less, the DVD should dhow up under Remote Disk.
Any questions or suggestions?

Hey, I just tried putting the Rosetta Stone data disc in my desktop Mac running Remote Disc to my brand-new MacBook Air and ..... doesn't work at all.
I suspect that Rosetta Stone does "something" to keep the running program physically tied to the disc for anti-piracy reasons. It would sure be cool to know what that is so that we know Remote Disc trips over it!
I wonder if I can get audio pumped through a remote desktop app? If not then I guess I'll have to sell my R.S. CDs and subscribe to their online version.

Can't Find "DVD and CD Sharing" under Sharing

Hello, I got a new MacBook Air a week ago, and I couldn't find "DVD and CD Sharing" under sharing in system preferences. Is there any way to make it appear? I am trying to share the CD from a Windows computer, and I installed this on my Windows computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL112
But there is still no DVD and CD sharing... Can somebody please tell me what to do? Thanks, I'd appreciate the help

DVD or CD Sharing . . . AWESOME

I hooked up and am using "DVD or CD Sharing" from within the System Preferences > Sharing area. This is so awesome that it causes one to dream about a different kind of a Mac . . . like an Air, but not. I want a MacBook, NO CD/DVD, Intel Core 2 Duo at 2.++MHz, 3GB RAM, a 250GB hard drive and a bigger battery. Now, there's the ticket for the future.

If you will run the 10.5.2 update you will get this new feature to share a CD or DVD drive. System Preferences->Sharing->DVD or CD Sharing:

It works on all machines running Leopard, not just the Air.
This will just make your machine into a Remote Disc Server. It will not enable Remote Disc on your machine. Only MacBook Air's can see Remote Disc Servers. So, unless you have a MacBook Air, the "DVD or CD Sharing" feature is useless to you. Hope that clears things up.

HT204387 can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce?

can we get apple to make a fix to download that would enable the bluetooth file sharing with any deivce? i would like to to stay with Apple iphone but if they dont improve the lack of features.. i will move on and I know im not the only person to think like this.

There is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.

Solved: I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing" enabled.

Hello,
Issue:
On a Virtual Machine with a secondary VHDX attached, I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) the VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing (VHD Sharing)" enabled.
Questions:
Should I be able to manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, and write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has VHD Sharing enabled? If I should be able to manage it, what am I missing?
Topography:
One SuperMicro Cluster In a Box (CIB) with 2012 R2 Data Center on each node. Microsoft Failover Cluster installed and working on each node. The Failover Cluster Servers on each host passes all cluster validation tests. Two Hyper-V 2012 R2 Data Center Virtual
Machine (VM) servers, one on each node. 1 common Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) and 1 Generation 2 Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) shared volume both Resilient File System (REFS) formatted. One 5 Gigabit (Gb) Virtual Hard Drive Type X (VHDX) file on the CSV and/or
SOFS. Integrity bit and read only turned off on VHDX file.
Each of the two Hyper-V VMs have one 127Gb VHDX Generation 2 primary hard drive and 1 VHDX secondary hard drive attached, both on SCSI Controller #1.
Background:
If I start VM1 without the VHD Sharing enabled on the secondary hard drive, I can bring the drive online, initialize, partition, format, and write to the drive.
If I enable VHD Sharing, I can no longer modify the drive in Disk Management in any way. With or without VM2 running.
Both VMs and the CSV and SOFS are on the same host cluster server, or not, no difference…
The VHDX is referenced either by the CSV name C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\TEST1.VHDX
or a Shared Folder name
\\sharedfolder\folder\Test1.VHDX .
If I start VM1 with VHD Sharing disabled and I format the drive, then shut down and enable VHD Sharing, the drive is offline and requests initialization which fails with an "I/O device error", every other attempt to manage the drive fails with
the same "I/O device error", error.

Hi All,
I had to buy a Willy Wonka bar and spend a golden ticket to get an answer to this one.
We found that the default LogicalSectorSizeBytes of a VHDX is 512b. It needs to be 4kb.
The Host drive doesn't seem to matter CSV or SOFS. Below is a way to create a VHDX with the correct LogicalSectorSizeBytes.
In Power Shell, type --> New-VHD -Path C:\ClusterStorage\Volume4\Cluster2DataDisks\Cluster2Disk1.vhdx -SizeBytes 200Gb -PhysicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb -LogicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb
Attach the resulting file to your guest cluster servers and set the Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing option on both server. You should now be able to bring the drives on-line and initialize them. They will also add to the guest cluster pool.
Change the size, path and file name above to fit your Cluster Servers configuration.
Thank You
Sachin Kumar Support Engineer | Windows Server Setup Team | Microsoft Enterprise Platform for finding the answer to this one.
Hope this helps others.

I can no longer see dvd or cd sharing option on Sharing folder

After having installed DVD or CD sharing, I am no longer able to find "DVD or CD sharing" on Sharing folder. Thus, I can't click it - obviously - and cannot access remote CDs or DVDs either.
Then, I tried to reinstall the software as Apple tell us to do, but I pops up a message "a newer version of DVD or CD sharing is already installed on your computer."
So that, I'm stuck. I can neither erase the files nor reinstall it.
Hope Apple could give us a hand.
I'd appreciate if anybody knows something that might help.
Thanks!

Can no one help me with this issue? I can see all videos in iTunes, but not through Home Sharing.
Thanks

HT5287 DVD and CD sharing will not let you play or share DVD movies and audio CD's. Does any one know of a way to get music from a CD on a MacBook Pro wirelessly to an iMac?

I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

DVD and CD sharing

I am trying to set up remote disc from my PC. I have downloaded the DVD and CD sharing software from the Apple website. My instructions say to open the dvd or cd sharing control panel but there is only "remote install Mac OSX" program. When I open it up it asks for the Mac OSX disc. How do I get to the DVD and CD sharing control panel. I am new to Mac!!!! Thanks!

I open the remote disc on the mac and it is an empty folder. When I open dvd and sharing folder on the PC the only option is to intall Mac OSC disc. I do not have a disc. I am trying to load Office Mac. How do I get the DVD and CD sharing control panel on my PC to open???

Were to find dvd and cd sharing

were to find and dvd and cd sharing to download to dell laptop

If your MacBook Air came with a disk they would be on that disk.

How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software?

How can you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup software for a computer running MAC OSX 10.4.11 if you do not have a MacBook Air?

You'll find the software you're looking for here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/dvdorcdsharingsetupupdateformac.html
However, say for example you install this on your iMac G4 or Windows XP PC (you'll need to get the link for that one yourself), are you planning to try to share the drive with an iBook or other non-MacBook Air computer? If this is your case, I'm not shure if it can be done with that software. I'll need to get back to you on that one.

Problem setting up DVD or CD Sharing Setup - newer version already exists??

Dudes,
Just trying to set up install DVD or CD Sharing Setup on my MacBook so I can use Remote Disc on the Air, but have got this message on the Select A Destination screen:
"You cannot install DVD or CD Sharing Setup on this volume. A newer version of this software already exists on this volume."
I don't understand, as I have not installed this software yet. How can a newer version of it already exists on my MacBook?
The only thing I can think is that perhaps they included it as standard in 10.5.6, which I have on my MacBook?
Can anyone help at all?
Thanks!
Johnnycakes

That software is bundled with the current Mac OS X version. Proceed as if it was already installed.

'DVD or CD sharing' isn't possible. HELP!

Okay so i got a MacBook air on the 27th December I have done ALL the updates available, I now want to setup DVD or CD sharing however this is not an option when I go on 'system preferences', 'Sharing'. Help I have already like read all the forums and still can't do it

All you need to do is download the appropriate software from Apple to the machine that you will be using for your drive. Here's the link if you need to install it on a Windows machine: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl112 and this link is for Mac if you don't have it already installed: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL113. Once that is installed you will see Remote Disc on the left pane in the Finder on your MacBook Air and it should automatically find any discs you want to use.
