How to Troubleshoot a SuperDrive Optical Drive


Insert the disc nearly all the way into the SuperDrive slot to see if the mechanism that pulls the disc engages. The disc has to be at least 3/4 of the way into the drive before the drive pulls it in, and if it isn’t far enough into the drive, the mechanism doesn’t recognize it.
Try the disc several times in a row if the drive ejects the disc after a couple of seconds. Especially when a SuperDrive is new, it can be stiff and have difficulty in pulling in discs. Re-inserting the disc helps loosen the drive and engage the mechanism that pulls the discs in.
Make sure the disc doesn’t have any dirt or major scratching on the surface if the drive accepts the disc initially, but then ejects without initializing it for the system. If the disc doesn’t appear to be dirty or scratched, try a different disc in the SuperDrive, just to be sure that the disc isn’t the issue.
Place a disc in the drive and eject it multiple times in a row if the drive is having ejection issues. A new, stiff drive can experience issues with sluggish ejection. Inserting and ejecting a disc into the drive multiple times in a row should loosen the slot.
Drag the disc icon on the desktop to the trash if pressing the eject button or the “F12” key on the keyboard does not eject the disc. If the disc still does not eject, restart the computer and hold down trackpad or the mouse button while the computer is loading. The disc should eject.
Update the firmware for your MacBook Pro if the SuperDrive makes a lot of noise upon system startup and when waking from sleep mode. MacBook Pro’s EFI 1.8 and SuperDrive Firmware 3.0 updates were designed to this noise. Both can be downloaded free at the Apple website (See Resources).

How to Use FaceTime


Tap the 'Phone' application from the home screen of your iOS device.
Tap 'Contacts' in the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.
Scroll through your list of contacts, then select the contact that you want to have a FaceTime chat with.
Tap the box labeled 'FaceTime' on the contact's screen. The FaceTime application will attempt to contact the other party. Your device rings while FaceTime is contacting the other iOS device. If the other person accepts the connection, your screen will show the other person's image. A small box also appears on the screen displaying the image the other person sees from your device.
Speak to your contact as normal while holding the device directly in front of you so that your contact can clearly see your image on their screen.
Tap the 'Camera' icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen to switch from the camera on the front of your device to the one on the back. Use this feature if you want to show the person you are speaking to an image on the other side of your device.
Tap the 'Mute' button on the bottom-left corner of the screen to prevent the other person from hearing you. Tap the button again to resume audio.
Tap the 'End' button at the bottom of the screen when you are ready to end the call.
