Does the MacBook include drive installed?

I’m thinking about purchasing the new MacBook Pro, but I have a question about the Slot-loading SuperDrive(DVD±RW/CD-RW). Is this drive included or something I have to pay extra for to have installed? The wording confused me. Thanks for your help!

Michelle,
Be sure to give the people who answered you their due by using the "Helpful" and "Solved" buttons.
Also keep in mind that slot-loading disc drives only handle standard sized media. To use any of the small or oddly shaped optical media one occasionally sees, you must use a tray-loading drive.

  • Does the MacBook Air re-install drive for Mac OS (2011) re-format hard drive as well?

    Hello, my computer failed yesterday due to a Nbidia graphics card DOWNgrade, so I was wondering if the MacBook air re-install drive erase everything from your hard drive when you re-install it? Thanks!

    Yes, it certainly does have the tools to reformat the drive if desired. You can also reinstall the OS without reformatting, if you think the remedy of a simple "repair installation" is all that is necessary.

    Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
    The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.
    Last time you do a impulsive purchase huh?

    You don't want to install the software that came with the drive, you don't need it and it will be problematic. Connect the new drive, open Disk Utility, select the new drive and partition it using the GUID partition scheme, then format it as Mac OS extended journaled and it will be easy to use with your Mac.

  • Does the macbook pro retina 15 inch comes with cd/dvd drive?

    Hey
    Does the macbook pro retina 15 inch comes with cd/dvd drive?
    thanks

    The MacBook Pro with Retina display doesn't come with a CD/DVD drive. Instead, you have to buy the Apple USB SuperDrive or any external optical drive, or you can use Remote Disc if you have another Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287

    I had two fans replaced in 2012 on my 2006 MacBook Pro were around £10 each with labor at £20. I don't know that these prices are still viable, but it may give you an estimate.
    Good luck,

    No.  10.7 never came one a disk.  Read this:
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
    If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start from Lion.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

  • I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?

    They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.

  • Does the Macbook Pro have a program to run Windows? If not, what is the best program to do so?

    Does the Macbook Pro have a program to run Windows built in? If not, what is the best program to do so. Purchasing a new Mac.

    No. The Mac does not have anything to run Windows
    You must install either virtualizrion software or use BootCamp to create a partition for Windows. Once you have done that then you must install Windows.

  • Does the macbook pro has an antivirus?

    does the macbook pro has an antivirus

    While there may not currently be any Viruses for Macs, the original poster may actually be asking, "Is there any Malware that affects Macs?"
    The answer to that question is YES.
    The best defense against Mac Malware is to add a new Admin account (to be used only for Administration) and use it to demote your "daily use" account to a regular User account. Then if software tries to install itself, it generate a dialog box "please enter your Admin username and password". This will tip off an alert user that something unexpected is happening.
    The other important concept is that the user must remain Vigilant, and do not download stuff from untrusted web sites.

  • Does the UC540 include or support a web based user portal?

    One last question because I can't find this for the life of me.  When looking at Avaya IP Office they include a web based portal that is installed on a server or on their server module for the system.  Does the UC540 include that or allow that function at all?  Basically I'm trying to find out if it includes or supports even via add on a user portal where users can log in, see their call history, listen to voice mails, possibly see who is on the phone, and if possible change their call flows from there.  So for example set that they are working from home vs the office.  Is that built in or supported or anything at all?  Thanks so much!

    The thing I'm just not clear on is what the UC540 includes, as I'm comparing it to Avaya IP Office which seems easier to understand.  A user portal isn't that big of a requirement but I'm more wondering how it works for teleworkers or mobile twinning as Avaya calls it.
    For example, one place says buy the UC540 for $1899.  Just using it as an example, lets say I was to buy that.
    Am I able to set it so that:
    1) If working remotely, calls ring on my desk and mobile at the same time, like Avaya's mobile twinning?  And if so, is it something users can enable or disable easily, either from their phone, or a web portal etc?
    2) If I am on the road, Avaya has the one-x iPhone application, where you launch it, dial a number, it calls into the Avaya PBX, and makes an outbound call showing it's my office calling.  So basically DISA.  I don't need an application for that, but does the UC540 support calling into it and dialing out so it shows the office line calling?
    3) Last and most importantly, does it include built in any ability for a softphone so that a user can work from home one day, launch the softphone on their laptop with a USB headset and then make calls and have incoming calls ring there as well?
    We use Asterisk, so we can do the above right now but it's not really pretty.  Like option 1 above is possible and easy to do.  Option 2 is so so, it's def not as easy as the one-x app by Avaya.  Instead users have to call our main line, dial a code at the IVR and then get an outbound line that shows their caller ID.  So each user needs that manually set up in the system, it's not a built in feature.  Then option 3 is possible but also not ideal as the soft phone needs its own extension and then ring groups are needed to ring their line to all their extensions etc.
    Just comparing the Avaya to Cisco and I'd REALLY prefer the Cisco it's just the Avaya seems to handle the above better which is our main features we want so just trying to determine if the UC540 can do this out of box and if not what I'd need to enable it.   Thanks!

    If your iCloud account uses your family's Apple ID, you will pay $20/year for all your family members. If your iCloud account uses a different Apple ID than your family's Apple ID, you will pay only for you

    Are you saying that Yos/10.10, as a volume located in a mounted external drive won't appear as an option in Snow Leopard's Startup Disc, in Sys Prefs? I've never heard this one before. AFAIK any mounted volume, regardless of OS, should appear there. I would think that, if it appears in the Boot Picker/Startup Manager it would also appear and could be booted to from Snow's Startup Disk. I can't test this myself, since I don't have Yos. Is what you are saying documented somewhere?
