How do you insert a CD/DVD into a macbook pro drive?

Hi, I'm a new user to macbook pro's. I just wanted to ask what should I expect when I first insert a cd into my drive for the first time? I try to put in about 3/4 in with the cd I want to insert, and there are no signs (physical/audible) that the system is recognizing I am trying to put in a CD and take the rest of it in automatically. Are you suppose to just keep jamming the CD completely in without the computer taking it in at all?

To see if the disc has been charged, open Finder and look under Devices in the sidebar, and you must see the DVD. The MacBook Pro has a slot-in drive, so it should make a noise, but if DVDs load properly and you see it in Finder, don't worry about this

try ejecting the drive incase there is something inside. if you are trying to say that the drive won't read DVDs that are inserted then you have a slightly larger problem. also if you do not hear a noise of some sort after seeing the eject symbol on the screen your optical drive may be broken or unresponsive in either case make an appointment with the apple store

I inserted an SD card into my macbook pro and it didnt prompt me that a device was inserted so I took it out. Now the camera isnt showing anything on it. How do I fix this?

AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.

If you can wrap some adhesive tape around a stiff business card and insert it inside and see if you can capture it. If possible, hold the MBP in a position where gravity is your ally.
You can open the MBP up, remove the optical drive and open it up or make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them extract it.

Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie.

How do you insert an iMovie project into a blog?

I created a new project (my first) in iMovie and would like to insert it into the text of a blog. I attempted a copy and paste from my desktop, but it did not transmit into a readable format in the blog.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Mavericks, 2.6 GHz Intel Core processor, with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
Thanks very much for any advice.
Cheers,

I'm no expert on this but I hink you would have to upload your movie to YouTube or similar then put a link to the movie in your blog.

How do you save a copy dvd to your external hard drive

I have managed to make a copy dvd to dvd thanks to all your help. Now I need to know how to save a copy dvd to an external hard drive. Your help will be appreciated. Please reply in as simple terms as possible because I am not up on the latest phrases and computer jargon lol

Mount the DVD on your desktop, then open it and pull VIDEO_TS folder to your desktop. Put VIDEO_TS folder in a folder and label it so you will know what it is and then move that folder to your external drive. The VIDEO_TS folder than can be burned into another dvd or played by VLC.
