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 Connect a Laptop to 3G (5 Steps)

Insert the SIM card into the USB modem, if your carrier requires it. Carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile use SIM cards—a small, fingernail-sized card that contains your personal cellular information. Remove the plastic cap from the modem and insert the SIM card into the slot until it clicks into place. Replace the cap.
Turn on the laptop. Insert the USB modem into an open USB port on the laptop.
Install the software by using the automatic installation wizard. The wizard should start once the laptop recognizes the presence of the new modem. Follow the prompts, accept the license agreement and click 'Install' until a window tells you that the installation is completed. Restart the laptop if prompted.
Connect to 3G with the USB modem by opening the software program that it installed. This can usually be found as a shortcut on the desktop or by opening the Start menu, clicking on 'All Programs' and looking for an application that has the name of your wireless carrier in it. Look for an option to 'Connect.' Choose this to activate the connection.
Open a web browser to test the modem.
