Setting Up DVD or CD Sharing

You can partner your MacBook Air with another Mac or Windows computer that has
an optical disc drive and is on the same wired or wireless network. Use this other
computer to:

Â

Migrate information to your MacBook Air, if the other computer is a Mac
(see “Migrating Information to Your MacBook Air” on page 16)

Â

Share the contents of DVDs or CDs or install applications (see “Sharing Discs with
DVD or CD Sharing” on page 19)

The computer with the optical drive can be a Mac with Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later, or a
Windows XP or Windows Vista computer. If the Mac has Mac OS X v10.5.3 or later, DVD
or CD Sharing is already installed. You can partner with more than one other computer,
but you can use only one partner computer at a time.
