Using Your Optical Drive

You can install or use software from CDs and DVDs using your optical drive. You can 
play music from audio CDs and play DVD movies. You can also burn music CDs that can 
play in most CD players, and you can save documents and other digital files on CD-R 
and CD-RW discs. 

If your iMac G5 has a SuperDrive, you can also use your home movies to make video 
DVDs that can by played in most home DVD players, or save documents to blank DVD-
R (recordable DVD) discs.

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 or for download from the web, 
or purchase an external USB floppy disk drive for your iMac G5 from your Apple dealer 
or the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).

Place the disc into the optical drive with the label facing you.

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