I can find no CD slot. How do I load games or music CDs?

Just bought a new MacBook Prow/retina display and in working with it this morning noticed that it had no slots for games or music CDs. How do I load content that I have on hand? Am I to believe that I can't load some of my favorite stuff on a brand new laptop computer? Please. Someone tell me I'm just overlooking it.

No more optical drives, it's a exernal option now.
A lot of software based on cd's is for PowerPC processors that the new Mac will not run anyway.
You want software, you go to MacUpdate.com and download it, then a lot of it you will have to right or conrol key click on it to "Open" as Apple is trying to restrict outside sources of software.

You can install some software at AppStore (Apple menu) but a lot of it is hobbled due to Apple's restrictions, no trialware etc., etc.
Better to download direct from the developer, but some are now only on AppStore and charging for their software and later you find out you don't like it.

  • Can someone please tell me how to extend a piece of music I have created in garageband, I cannot find anything in the help topics and i am new to the system.

    Can someone please tell me how to extend a piece of music that I have created in garageband.  I am new to the system and cannot find any info in the help topics.  The music is currently only 1 minute and I need it to be 1.39sec to fit in with the film it will be used with in iMovie.  Thanks.

    Yes, it helps.
    You are using a version of the newest GarageBand 10.0, and not GarageBand '11 as in your original post.  And I was sending you screenshots from GarageBand '11, LOL!
    In GarageBand  10.0 is the end-of-song marker hiding behind the zoom controls. Zoom out as far as possible by shifting the zoom scrollbar to the left. Then you should be able to see a corner of the end-of-song marker peeping out behind the zoom control. Try to grab it with the mouse pointer and shift it to the time you want.

  • How do I share games and music with two kids ipod touch 4g and my iphone 4s

    I have Iphone 4s and want to share paid games and music with both of my kids Ipod 4gen touchs. Don't have them set up with individual itunes accounts yet due to fact I don't want to pay for a game three times or a common liked song three times.  New to this, please help?

    As long as the other iPods are signed into the iTunes account that originally purchased apps, they can just redownload them again and not be charged.  If in the USA you can also redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store 

  • Inside the viewing screen on the broswer, Scarpbook created and opened a window, it occupies space permentantly. I can find any help on how to turn this off.

    Within Firefox inside the viewing pane, Scrap book has taken up space on the left side of the browser. Now, that loads everytime even when I am not using it.
    I have looked under options, and advanced tabs etc... there is no help or option that I can figure out to turn it off, or minimize it.

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • When i first got my iPhone 5S I tried to pair Bluetooth with my iPad 3 it took so long and I came to press the Ignore this device button which I now truly regret as the iPhone now no longer can find the iPad. How to get it back please ?

    How to get my 5s to recognize my iPad

    The only reason you use bluetooth between iPad/iPhone its to share the internet from iPhone to wifi only iPad.
    In order to see the bluetooth connection, you must first enable the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone.
    Then on the iPhone, open Setting s> Bluetooth.
    Then open the Bluetooth on the iPad adn pair teh devices.

  • I would be grateful if someone could direct me to the where I can find the solution to the problem of most of my music not being available to listen too and the message ''your music cannot be found as the original file could not be found''

    I have lost acess to most of my music in my itunes on my computer. I have a modern newish computer with windows 7 software and the latest version 11 Apple itunes software. Now all I get is amessage stating '' music cannot be found as original file cannot be found.'' I do not understand what I have to do to track down were the music is now filed as I understand that it somehow has been ''moved'' [how does this happen???] and itunes cannot find it.
    Thanks, I suspect this is a common problem but quite disturbing after many years of using itunes.

    Hi, spurrdoc.
    Thank you for the question.  The error that you are receiving usually indicates that the file or files are either missing completely from the computer or that the files are in a location that iTunes is set to read.  This is easily correctable if the media is on the computer.  The article below will help you locate your media.

    I have also included an article walks you through moving your iTunes media or directing iTunes to the media folder once located.

  • How to down load 30GB ipod music to my computer?

    My 30GB ipod battery only gives me 5 hrs. of play time. If I do the download to check the battery, I will loose the music that was downloaded into the ipod. To save the music, I want to down load the 2.5 GB of music to my computer. How does one do this?

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • How do I load pics and music onto ipad without another computer

    I bought a IPAD 2 after my home computer crashed. I had all of my Pictures and Music saved on an external hard drive. Problem is I don't have a personal computer to load all of them onto to transfer to my IPAD? Please help!!!

    Unless I am missing something, you can't transfer the music and photos from an external drive to the iPad. You need a computer that has an operating system that can move the files from the drive to the computer and then to the iPad. Or you could sync the content from the drive, I think, but you still need an operating system in order to make the transfer work.
