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???

  • 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.

  • 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

    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..

  • 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.

  • Followed video about burning my completed movie to a DVD and iDVD was not listed in the sharing drop down. What gives?

    Why wasn't iDVD listed in sharing drop down when trying to burn DVD?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3  I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn.  How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

    I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3  I used to go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn.  How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4? 

    BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
    Toast 11 to create menus etc.  Thanks for your help.

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • '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.

  • DVD or CD Sharing Setup Update for Mac

    Hi
    I installed the DVD or CD Sharing utility that comes on the MacBook Air installation DVD on Tiger. Is there any way that my other iBook G4 (running OS 10.4.11 as well) can see the shared drive on my network? Is Leopard the only version that can see the shared drive?

    That's exactly the software I installed.
    You see, I'm trying to make a backup of the second iBook. This other iBook has a combo drive and I would like to use the superdrive of the computer where I installed the software so that I may use DVD-Rs rather than way too many CD-Rs. I know the software works since it's Apple's own and I do get to turn on the drive sharing in the System Preferences panel. However, I can't get the other Mac (the one without the superdrive) to see the shared drive on the network.
    Am I missing something? Is there anything else I need to do before I can see the drive on the network?

  • The dvd or cd sharing is missing in settings/sharing. where can i find it?

    I just bought a Macbook Air and am trying to install Office for Mac on it using my iMac. So I went to Settings/sharing/ and am looking for DVD or DC sharing box to check but it is missing. It is available on my iMac, but not on the Air. I guess I need it to install the Office disk but it is missing. Anyone knows what to do?

    Have you looked in Finder on your MacBook Air?
    Can you see your iMac there?  Can you get to the iMac's CD drive when you click on the iMac in Finder?
    If not, try opening Finder's preferences (on your Air), click the Sidebar icon on top, and check "CDs, DVDs ...."
    Good luck.
