Where do you insert a CD in the Macbook Air?

i need to put some music in a CD from a macbook air, where do i insert the empty CD?

If you have another Mac, you can share it's DVD drive in System Preferences > Sharing. Then go to the MBair and use the shared drive located on the Finder's sidebar in "Remote Disc".
It's either that or buy an external USB optical drive.

How do you remove a cd from the macbook air superdrive when it won't eject. all is get is the option to burn a cd when i click eject

Just bought a mini and a dvd superdrive. was uploading pictures and one cd won't eject when I click on the eject icon. It will display that I can burn one if I insert a cd, but won't eject the current cd. How do you override the pop up or manually eject the cd from the superdrive without taking it to a store or asking for a replacement?

You can also eject a disc by restarting your computer and holding down the primary mouse button while the computer is starting up until the disc is ejected.

What parts of the MacBook Air are really sensitive and easily damageable?

I've been with my mac for over 3 weeks now, and I'm worried that some of the ways people grab it or something might damage it & I would like to know so this comptuer lasts a long time. So far it hasnt fallen. Thanks guys

well, you asked "What parts of the MacBook Air are really sensitive"
not "HOW is the easy way to damage one"
The easy way to damage one badly is from a spill.
the SENSITIVE parts, as you asked are the LCD display. They are by nature rather fragile creatures to be certain.
Cleaning Your MacBook
Use a very lightly damp, soft (if you can squeeze the cloth very tightly and even a drop comes out, its still too damp), lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings and be very careful not to get the damp cloth around the trackpad edges or around the inside edge between the monitor and its bezel. Do not spray any type of liquid directly on the computer. Do not use sprays, solvents, or abrasives; do not attempt to use any solvents on the LCD display either directly (especially!) or indirectly. There is never any call to use any type of lens cleaning solvents on the screen of your LCD display. Again, do not spray any liquid directly on the screen. Never use Kleenex, or paper towels, these are abrasive. Soft cotton cloth only or a microfiber lens cleaning cloth.
No rubbing alcoholic, no glass cleaners of any variety, no acetone, no lens cleaning sprays, no AR coating sprays, no sprays sold as "for your LCD TV", no sprays sold as "for your notebook display". Water only, and never sprayed on, and never dripping wet even slightly on the cloth.
Use a soft paintbrush, lipstick lens-cleaning brush, or makeup brush for cleaning
One very useful tool for cleaning dust from the LCD screen, the hinge area of your notebook and around the keyboard, is a very soft inexpensive small paintbrush or a makeup brush. The less you wipe your LCD screen with anything like a cloth, the better. This small brush is very handy, quick, and ideal for removing dust from around and on your notebook. Lipstick lens cleaning brushes are sold online, and used in the photography business for camera lenses and are ideal perfect portable cleaning brushes for your macbook.
Dont press on your LCD screen or spray it
Do not attempt to use any solvents on the LCD display either directly (especially!) or indirectly. There is never any call to use any type of lens cleaning solvents on the screen of your LCD display. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen. Avoid any touching or pressure upon your LCD screen.
Also NEVER pack your Air in a backpack where books can press against the LCD assy.
Dont 'backpack' your Macbook Air without having special consideration
Many college students or people in general are fond of using non-idealized backpacks (without a padded laptop compartment) along with their books. Sandwiching books around your notebook etc. is an extremely bad idea and can lead to your LCD screen being destroyed when heavy textbooks are pressing against same, or when dropping your backpack, these books slam into your Macbook causing great potential for damage.
The other "sensitive" part isnt sensitive anymore ,the USB ports are upgraded in 2013 and are hard to cause tab damage on.
The other "sensitive" part would be the fan and dust bunnies.
Dust and fuzz residue caked onto the internal fan
Dust bunnies and Fluffy’s fur
Your Macbook’s cooling system, including fan and rear vents pull cool air in from the back and (in the case of the Macbook pro) also from the left ports bringing this air around the processor, GPU, and heat sync and blow it out the back, as such your Macbook acts like a little vacuum cleaner of the air around you. If you use your notebook in a dusty area or around a lot of pet fur, this can quickly, even under seemingly ideal clean rooms, accumulate inside your notebook especially on the fan blades reducing its capacity for cooling and in a worse case scenario seize your fan due to caked on dust on the fan blades. Avoid very dusty areas or places where, over the long term you know fuzz, fur, or even smoke can enter into your Macbook.

I have a MacBook Air and an iMac, how do I get the music on the iTunes from my iMac to be on the MacBook Air??

i've tried using the Migration Assistant and it was supposed to download the "applications" "settings" and "others files and folders" but I can't find them anywhere in the MacBook Air that's why I can't find the music either

If you created an account on the MacBook Air before using the Migration Assistant, it'll create a new one for the migrated files. You can also use an external drive or network to move the iTunes folder in the Music item of the Finder's sidebar over.
Rented movies can't be moved through these methods.

Where do you locate your location on the iPad?

Where can you check your location on the iPad?

I'm not sure what your asking but, I use a app called magic piano and when it shares my performance it states that my location is in Australia instead of United States ..
When I updated my iPad my profile pic and location no longer is correct.
So I'm trying to fix that and unsure how or why but would like to correct it..
Thnx. ;)

Where can you make a comment about the new 7.1 software update? I was dissapointed that the photos of friends that normally pop up when they make a call are no longer appearing. Just a tiny little circle with their picture in it appears.

Can you insert a CD into a macbook pro

I dont know where the slot to insert a CD into a macbook pro or does it even have a slot?

The Macbook Air and the Retinas don't have optical drives. The classic model will have it either on the side or in the front.

Do you get a proper native UK keyboard with the MacBook Air?

Hi. I was wondering if you got a proper UK keyboard like this one attached on the macbook air?

I cannot see your illustrations above ... but:
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Click the "+" in the lower left. There you can choose "British" and/or "British P.C.".

Can you overcharge the Macbook Air?

I was always told with my older PC latops that "leaving it plugged in all day will drain the battery faster" and stuff like that. Nowadays, devices such as the iDevices, PSP, Vita, and Nintendo's handhelds cannot be overcharged because the charge feature stops and the device runs off of AC...but, is the Macbook Air like that too? And since I'm asking, are all Macbooks like that or is it still bad to "leave them plugged in all day" and whatnot. I like having my Air at work with me on my desk to listen to music and movies on iTunes (no speakers on my work PC), but I'm slightly paranoid about the battery.. Thanks guys.

Check this Web site and the links from it for everything you'd ever want to know about batteries. The short form is this: The battery cannot be over charged. Plug it in and keep it plugged in so that when you go off on the road it has a full charge. When you have depleted about 80% of the charge you'll get a warning that you are on reserve power and it is time to start looking for a power plug. Do not drain the battery 100%. While you cannot overcharge the battery it isn't good to keep it plugged in all the time. At the very least unplug it and use the battery at least once or twice a month.
Following the above advice which came from Apple my 2009 MBP battery still keeps better than 80% of its charge and has 112 cycles used. Given its age I expect the battery will probably need to be replaced before long but I'm amazed that it is doing this well after nearly 5 years of use.

HT1222 i have a 2010 later version of the MacBook Air, do you recommend mountain lion?

I have a 2010 later version of the MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Should I upgrade to the Mountain Lion 10.7?

Mountain Lion is 10.8 and only costs about $20. You can bypass 10.7.
Third party apps may need updating or upgrading as Snow Leopard is the last OS to support PPC apps.

Do you think a magnetic cover or a car smart key could affect the Macbook Air?

I just bought a Macbook Air 11inch and I noticed that after two days the wifi is randomly disconnecting and after three days even the display was problematic, It display in only 25% of the page. Now, I get a new one but I am wondering if the problem is not the magnetic cover or my car smart key when I put the key and the Mac in my bag.

No, the neodymium gauss rating on such ceramic permanent magnets is not high.
Even a huge N50 gauss Neodymium would need direct contact to cause damage to the Macbook Air.

Switching to the cinema display by closing the macbook air

the nice feature of switching to the cinema display by closing the macbook air and reopening it to use the keyboard with a black (mb air-)screen -e.g.for shortcuts in CS5 or Cad -doesn't work any longer using OS X Lion which is quite annoying. Has anyone found a solution for this problem apart from the 'option with the magnet' ?
this keyboard shortcut puts both displays in hibernation mode
is there a keyboard shortcut which only puts the macbook (air) screen ( under Lion) to sleep ?
if not, this would be a helpful update for everyone using the mac with photoshop or autocad where keyboard shortcuts are constantly needed and handling would be far easier with all windows & task bars on the cinema display only.
Alternatively, has anyone a clue how to put the task bar from the macbook screen to the cinema display ?

I dont know about the putting the screens to sleep, but as far as the task bar goes, when you have both screens running you can go in to display settings and you should see both screens, you can drag the task bar from the air screen to the cinema display.
