How do I import a CD on a MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a CD drive?

I have a MacBook Pro with retina display. I have a seperate Mac with a disc drive. I tried Remote Disc and AirDrop and still cannot transfer files onto the MacBook Pro. Help!

Make sure to turn on the "DVD or CD Sharing" in Apple System Preferences > SHARING.  Then you can use the optical drive and download it on your Air.
Regards,
Patrick

  • How do I load on Office:Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive?

    How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

    Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
    If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

  • How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?

    How do I install windows 7 on a macbook pro mid 2009 using bootcamp and no optical drive?
    My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
         -I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
         -I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

    Good luck.
    Consider this a bump so that hopefully someone with better news spots your thread.

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements 10 on my new mac that doesn't have a disc drive?

    Help!  I have an old imac that has Photoshop Elements 10 installed on it.  I bought a new imac that does not have a disc drive.  How do I uninstall/reinstall on my new computer???  Is there a way besides having to purchase a disc drive?

    John
    Thank you for working this through with me.
    Okay, so I'm going to describe the step-by-step following of the instructions [which I thought I had done before ]. If you see where I'm making an error can you point it out to me.
    1. I clicked on the link in your post of May 13 which took me to a page called "Direct Download Links for Adobe Photoshop/Premier Elements 10". I have basic Elements, not Premier and I need to get PSE 10 onto a Mac, which the site says I will only need a "single .dmg file for each program".  Then I
    2. logged in to the Adobe account ( required by instructions ) set up when I bought the disc version last August.
    3. I turned "cookie control" to accept all; having a Mac I have no antivirus software nor any firewalls
    4. I "clicked here to visit this page" in the instructions .........BUT ............ that took me to a PSE 11 download page, not 10
    5. That dropped a .dmg called "AdobeDownloadAssistant.dmg" into my downloads box.
    6. I opened the .dmg file, which took me to a window with an "Install Adobe Download Assistant" folder icon which
    7. I opened. I was asked if I wanted to download it from the internet; I clicked "Open"
    8. Another window opened; its message said "The same version of the application you opened already exists on this system. Would
         you like to run the version already installed?".
         A. Because I used the same Adobe i.d. when I tried the download on the Air as I used when I created the Adobe account on the
         MacBookPro I wondered if Adobe thinks the PSE10 on my older MacBookPro is on the newer Air. I did check the Applications
         listed in the Air's Finder and PSE 10 was not there although I had tried to install it earlier today before my first post on this matter
         in this forum.
         B. Given the above, I clicked on a "Run Now" option in the window mentioned in the first line of # 8 here and it
    9.  Took me to a Adobe Download Assistant window with a message "Make the most of your trial " referring apparently to 11
         when what I want to put onto the Air is the 10 I bought last August. I did check the registration on Adobe's site of the purchase
         of 10 last August and it showed everything correctly, including "mul" which I took to mean I could put it on multiple laptops.
         Maybe !
    10. I was aksed in that box to choose my level of familiarity with photo editing software and I chose the middle one.
    11. I also noticed in the bottom third of that box a blue download bar which got "stuck" at about 2/3 done. The yellow triangle with
         an exclamation point inside was followed by this message : "Error downloading this product (Error 109). Check you network
         connection or destination disk. You can also uses the "Reset product download" button.  My network connection was full bars
         the whole time.
         Given that there was an error message - that the download was not complete - that explains my surprise in # 8 above that
         "the download already exists........". That can't be given the error message I quoted in # 11.
    12. There is/was no "Reset download button" to be seen so I cllcked on an 'x' by it and it closed the stalled download bar.
    And, after all this voluminous [sorry] activity that's where I'm stuck.
    No PSE 10 on the Air
    Can't d/l a trial of 11, even if I wanted to.
    Extremely frustrating.
    Adboe's website does not appear to offer any contact with an Adobe person to solve this other than paying $39, which does not seem right.

  • How do I reinstall Yosemite on my retina MacBook Pro when the only disk option to choose is Recovery HD and it is locked?

    I was trying to install windows 8 on boot camp but it said the disk couldn't be partitioned because some of the files couldn't be moved. So I went into disk utility and selected my HD (the second option) and clicked erase but I went super quick and I believe there was an error. Now I am trying to reinstall OS X Yosemite but when I click on "Re-install" Yosemite the only two options for where I want to install it are my recovery HD (which is 650MB total) and my Wininstall bootable windows USB. I don't know if I did something serious or how to reinstall Yosemite when I can't select or do anything with the first main Macintosh HD option in Disk Utility. Please help!

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro ?

    How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro to make sure i have what i ordered? THe last time I wanted the SATA 7200rpm but they sent me the 5400. How do I see this on my mac? can't seem to find it.

    Here is something i copied from another forum site that could answer your question-
    Look in your "System Profiler", you can find it using Spotlight or looking for it in the Utilities folder, which is in your Applications folder.
    This will give you the model number, which you will then have to find online (probably using Google) to find out what speed that particular model number is.
    Then again, someone might have an easier answer.
    "That's exactly what I did. My MacBook Pro has a Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS Drive in it. Running that model number, it shows a 7200 RPM speed."
