How to Show a Superdrive on a Mac Desktop
Turn on the Mac. For laptops such as the MacBook Pro and all-in-one desktops such as the iMac, the Superdrive is located on the right side of the casing. For the 'Mac Pro' desktop computer, the drive is located on the upper section of the front panel.
Position the CD or DVD with the label side face up and gently push the disc into the Superdrive slot. You will feel the drive turn on and begin to pull the disc in.
Wait a few seconds. You will hear the drive start spinning the disc to read the disc contents. Go to the desktop either by using one of the 'hot corners,' moving your mouse cursor to one of the four corners of the screen or by clicking 'Finder' in the 'Dock' followed by 'Desktop.'
Look around the desktop for an icon of a CD. Depending on the contents or type of disc inserted, the icon will be a blank silver looking disc or a disc shaped image related to the disc contents. As long as the disc is inside the Superdrive, the drive will be viewable on the Mac desktop.

How to Make Your Own iPod Touch Stylus Pen
Separate the metal snap fastener and set aside the socket component (with the depression on the face and rounded edges).
Tie several knots in the fishing line until a large knot is produced that is larger than the width of the sewing slot on the socket snap.
Thread the free end of the fishing line through the front of the socket snap so that the knot catches in the sewing slot.
Apply a dab of superglue to the knot to affix it to the metal fastener.
Twist the pen to disassemble the spring, ink reservoir and point.
Insert the free end of the fishing line through the ballpoint opening of the bottom pen cap and pull the line through until the socket snap reaches the pen tip (i.e., end of the cap).
Drape the free end of fishing line over the side of the pen cap and hold to secure (or tape in position). Trim extra line, if desired.
Reassemble the pen housing by twisting the bottom cap to the main body.
Hold the pen against on the touch screen of the iPod Touch with the socket snap touching the screen instead of your finger.

How to Connect My Droid Incredible to My Mac (4 Steps)
Power on your HTC Droid Incredible.
Remove your data cable from your smartphone charger.
