Using Your Optical Drive

The optical drive in your iMac is a Combo drive. Use the Combo drive to install software from CDs, play music from audio CDs, and play DVD movies. You can burn music CDs that can play in most CD players, and save documents or other digital files to blank CD-R and CD-RW discs using the Finder.

WARNING: The Combo drive in your iMac supports standard circular 12 cm discs. Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm are not supported. Noncircular or small discs may become lodged in the drive. If a disc becomes lodged in the drive, see the troubleshooting information on page 73.

Note: If you have data on floppy disks, use an external USB floppy disk drive to transfer the data to your iMac. You can purchase an external USB floppy disk drive from an Apple Authorized Reseller, an Apple Store retail location, or the online Apple Store at www.apple.com/store.
