To use a shared DVD or CD:
1 On the other computer, insert a DVD or CD into the optical disc drive.
2 On your Mac mini, select the Remote Disc when it appears under Devices in the Finder
sidebar. If you see the “Ask to use” button, click it.
3 On the other computer, when prompted, click Accept to allow your Mac mini to use
the DVD or CD.
4 On your Mac mini, use the disc as you normally would once it becomes available.
If you try to shut down the other computer or eject the shared DVD or CD while your
Mac mini is using it, you’ll see a message telling you that the disc is in use. To proceed,
click Continue.
