Apple G4 manual Using Your DVD Drive, Inserting Discs

Using Your DVD Drive

You can install or run software from CD and DVD discs using the DVD drive. You can also use your DVD drive to play DVD movies, multimedia on CD-ROM discs, and music from audio CDs.

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-ROM disc or purchase an external USB or FireWire floppy disk drive (such as an LS120/SuperDisk) for your computer from your Apple dealer or the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).

Inserting Discs

To install or use programs from a CD or DVD disc, do the following:

mPlace a disc in the slot, with the label of the disc facing you, and push gently until the drive draws the disc in.

When the icon for the disc appears on the screen, the disc is ready for use.

Insert a disc with the label facing toward you.

Always hold the disc by its edges only.
