What is the best cd player attachment for macbook pro retina

I have loads of CD's to download onto my itunes but have no CD player.  Is there a player/recorder that I can attach?
Does anyone know.

Not sure what you mean by "attachment" -
The question was about a player/recorder, also known as a burner when used with a computer. Any burner will also function as a player with a computer (as in "read and write") - just attach the drive and insert a CD or DVD. iTunes will however, most likjely, attempt to immediately import the song - that is its default behavior. I have other audio software, so I can bypass iTunes as I don't care to use it. And this is what I am referring to:

  • What are the best ways to attach my macbook pro to our soundboard

    I need to upgrade the way in which I attach my macbook pro to our soundboard in order to improve quality recording and sound output. Which cables do I need to purchase? I am using a 2007 macbook pro/Snow Leopard OS. Thanks!

    The sound input can use an optical/digital cable from your soundboard (if you have the digital out).  You can use a whole host of products to record the sound using the MIDI setup along with something like Garage Band or Audacity (free) to something professional like Logic Pro 9. 

  • What is the best external hard drive for macbook pro I think I want firewire for storage and usb for time machine

    I have a macbk pro. I think a usb external drive would be fine for time machine but I'd like a fire wire external drive to store files.
    Any recommendations on brand? The last recommendations were dated 2006/7
    I have been waiting for a 1TB  g-drive. Apparently they are special order. I did not think I needed anything larger than 1 TB to backup the 500GB internal drive.
    I thought I'd get something bigger for storage. From what I have read I think its best not to partition the drive for backup and storage.
    Also I'd like to have a bootable copy of my internal hard drive is that possible?

    Don't know about the Best... But I have been using these without any issues...
    LaCie quadra D2  for Manual Backup and Clone Backup

  • What is the best and affordable printer for macbook pro?

    hi.... i have difficulties in printing my assignments... which i need to save my work using my thumbdrive then open it at windows to print....therefore, i want to buy a printer that can works with my macbook pro...what is your advice? i have tried to install hp printer but cant support my mac...really need your advice before i buy the new printer..

    It sounds as if you need a multi-function printer, with both wireless and AirPrint capabilities. A laser printer is usually back-and-white only, although there are color laser printers. Injest are probably the most common but they can go through some ink, resulting in some hefty cash being laid out for ink (although color laser printers have, likely, the highest consumable costs).
    I've had good luck, over the decades, with Canon inkjet printers. Take a look at the Canon website and look at the "3-in-1" inkjet printers that offer wireless and AirPrint capabilities, copy functions, and scanner functionality as well.
    Good luck,

  • What is the best temperature gauge software for MacBook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro (late 2011, i7 Quad 2.4 GHz, SSD, OS 10.8.5, 8 Gigs RAM) which I use for pro audio production has started stuttering while playing back audio a couple of times - only editing a stereo track with no plug-ins.  I thought it was my Glyph drive because my studio can get warm when the weather's hot in San Diego, even though I've never experienced this before.  However, I moved the current project to my internal SSD boot drive and it started again after using the computer for several hours.  I now think it's a heat issue effecting the laptop itself (it was 85 degrees F in my room).  I want to buy the best software for checking temperatures (CPU, drives, etc.) and am looking at both iStat Menus and Temperature Guage.
    Are there any recommendations for which is best (or if something else is better)?  I would rather pay more for software that won't cause me problems when I'm doing large mixes, etc. 
    Thanks!
    Robert

    They all access the same data, so one's as good as another. iStat Menus is good for displaying a variety of information in the menubar for convenient access. But if all you want are temperature readings then I would select Temperature Monitor 4.98.

  • What is the best external hard drives for macbook pro?

    I am looking to buy an external hard drive for my macbook pro urgently.
    I was intending to purchase a time capsule but am really concerned with the reliability concerns of the time capsules where they stop working after 6 months to 18 months as posted on various forums.
    I was considering purchasing a western digital external hard drive but they also receive a lot of negative feedback.
    I have never used firewire previously but am interested in getting feedback as to how useful forum readers find this feature.
    In terms of size am looking for 1TB approx.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance as i need to purchase one immediately and i do not have time to research fully. Make, model number and approximate cost would be very helpful as well as where i could purchase hard drive in london. I am more concerned with quality rather than cost.

  • What is the best way to look after Macbook Pro Retina Display battery?

    Hello,
    I am a little confused on how to look after the battery in my new Macbook Pro with Retina Display. I have read lots of different things and I do not seem to get a clear answer.
    I feel by charging my laptop all the way, then using till 0% and doing it all over again uses the cycles faster and therefore meaning it will not last as long. I also read that having that laptop plugged in a lot of the time will also damage the battery. I have read the document Apple have posted online but it doesn't give me a time frame of what is or is not a good length of time for it to be fully charged and plugged in for. Should I charge then unplug or is it safe to have it plugged in for a few days when being used? I always unplug regardless when I am not in the room with the laptop.
    Could someone please advice me on what they feel is the best way to keep the battery healthy. Thanks Benjamin

    I think this is a great topic to get advice from the community, I have often wondered about this topic too.
    My thoughts/experience are:
    Cycle count seems to be the factor that ages the battery - although it is not exactly clear when your cycle count will click up by 1. I suspect it must be significant use or period off charge - but no idea how to quantify that.
    I mostly have my unibody 15" MBP (early 2011) plugged, so after 14 months my cycle count is 28 and the battery charges to around 93-96% of initial capacity.
    I use Watts and coconutbattery to keep an eye on battery condition and Watts is set to remind me to do a complete discharge/recharge (calibration) every month or so.
    However I was away for 10 days recently and left MBP plugged in but shutdown. Before going I'd been keeping MBP extra busy and had skipped a calibration. On return I was using normally and then got a clue that all was not well with my battery although it said fully charged in menu bar.
    I pulled the magsafe, instant off just like pulling lead on a desktop. No charge.
    Magsafe LED showing green but no charge and not charging. Battery status said to replace battery.
    Feeling upset at the suddendeath of a good friend I tried to reset SMC but the instructions seemed not to help.
    Finally LUCK with an idea: I shutdown, unplugged, waited a bit, plugged while holding power button down and LED went orange, my battery started charging and went up to 96%.
    I had been about to go pay for a new battery!
    So good usage is important and we/I are not that well informed about best usage - I had been looking.
    Maybe not everywhere but....

    You do already have it. Detection of known Mac malware, for what it's worth, is built in. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware, use ClamXav (or common sense, which works at least as well.)

    What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
    I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import?  Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

    See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
    Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
    132 - iPad 2
    264 - new iPad
    At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.

  • What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system ?

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple support communities having just bought my first Macbook Pro (a 17" 2.5GHz i7 model) and this is my very first community post.
    Im a bit of a Hi-Fi enthusiast, so, with my new MacBook Pro I've taken the opportunity of completely reloading my iTunes library in high quality Apple Lossless format. Took a while but now I've completed the task Im pleased I've done it.
    My question is, what is the best way to connect a Macbook Pro to a high quality Hi-Fi preamp - my Hi-fi system is musical Fidelity, and the pre amp (an A5  CR Pre amp) and this pre amp, which has superb audio quality, only has analogue phono inputs ? 
    I'm interested to understand what both the wired and wireless connection options are. I'm guessing one option must be to use the headphone output, but I have no idea if the output from the headphone socket on my new macbook (which is presumably designed to drive headphones) would be at a suitable level for a phono line level input ?
    Ive also read a few comments about using digital connection - and my second question would be - what is the audio digital connection on my macbook ?
    Aplogies if this question has been asked lots of times before but I've looked through some previous posts and can't find any answers in simple and straightforward language concentrating on the issue of connecting a MacBook Pro to an analogue phono pre amp input ?
    Thanks in anticipation of some advice.

    What is the best way to connect a MacBook Pro to my HiFi system?
    Look at the back of the reciever and see what your connection options are, the front headphone jack is output usually.
    The Mac's  analog audio in/out ports doubles as a optical in/out ports.
    The analog won't over power your amp, it's just a headphonejack, like a powered mic, just enough power to get the signal to the destination in one piece.
    Since you have a analog amp, your stuck with inferior analog connections, however you mentioned you wish to listen to the best sound quality of your lossless music.
    To do that your going to need a decent surround sound system with Toslink optical import jacks, a Toslink stereo jack to regular Toslink adapter, Toslink cable and enable the optical output in your System Preferences >Sound
    Another method is to use a Airport Express, it also has duo analog/opical out port. Then set up the Airport Express for iTunes streaming using the Airport Utility, then in iTunes setup the lower right corner one can set the connection.
    I recommned a Harmon Kardon surround sound system, with their 100 watt satelight speakers and the 200 watt subwoofer. Enable the "concert hall" and other neat effects which will turn your 2.0 (stereo) iTunes music into 4 channel speaker sound filling the room with music and sending the lower channels to the subwoofer.
    It will likely bring tears to your eyes that you can actually hear the full quality of your music as intended, I almost quarranty you will never want listen to music on a crappy iPhone or iPod again.
    If a surround sound system is out of your budget, you can get by using the Harmon Kardon "Go Play" portable stereo and a analog stereo cable.
    If your going to use your analog amp to power reference speakers, then there are various analog adapters of all sorts to make the appropriate connections once you know what they are, check out Radio Shack online for them.
