Important: After you install the DVD or CD Sharing Setup package on the other Mac,
make sure you have the latest software by choosing Apple () > Software Update.
Install any available Mac OS X updates.
Using an External Optical Drive
For direct access to CDs and DVDs, you can attach an Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive to
a USB port on your Mac mini.
Getting Additional Information onto Your Mac mini
If you want to install third-party applications from a DVD or CD, you can install
applications onto your Mac mini or share information using the optical disc drive on
another Mac or Windows computer (if DVD or CD Sharing is set up and enabled). Read
the next section for more information.
Sharing Discs with DVD or CD Sharing
You can enable DVD or CD Sharing on a Mac or Windows computer to use the Remote
Disc feature of your Mac mini. Remote Disc lets you share the discs you insert into the
optical disc drive of the other computer. Some discs, such as DVD movies and game
discs, may be copy-protected and therefore unusable through DVD or CD Sharing.
Make sure DVD or CD Sharing is enabled on any Mac or Windows computer you want
to partner with. For information, see page 16.
