Using Your Mac mini

Using Your Optical Drive

You can install or use software from CDs and DVDs using your optical drive. You can

play music from audio CDs and play DVD movies. You can also burn music CDs that can

play in most CD players, and you can save documents and other digital files on CD-R

and CD-RW discs.

If your Mac mini has a SuperDrive, you can also burn your home movies to make video

DVDs that can be played in most home DVD players, or you can save documents or

other digital files to blank DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW discs using the

Finder.

Note: If you have older software that comes on floppy disks, contact the software

manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD or for download from the web,

or purchase an external USB floppy disk drive for your Mac mini from your Apple dealer

or the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).
