Chapter 3 Using Your iMac 53
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.
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.
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.
