Yesterday I wanted to do something simple with my MacBook Pro: burn a CD. Nothing fancy, I just had a 200 meg file that I needed to give someone and there wa 't a U drive to be found, so a CD it was. I i erted my blank CD into my MacBook Pro and nothing ha ened.I thought, perha , I had a bum CD so I tried a few more (5 to be exact). Each time I got the same result: nothing. I double checked my prefs to make sure I had 'Ask me what to do,' when i erting a blank CD, and I did.
What the heck was going on?
I was ru ing Parallels, and it was being helpful by taking over the CD burner of my Mac, just in case I wanted to burn a CD from Windows. That's why it wa 't showing up in OS X! Luckily, this is a simple thing to fix. If you go to the lower right hand corner of your Parallels window you'll see a little CD icon. Click on it and the menu pictured at the top of this post comes up. Click 'Disco ect.' Boom, OS X sees your blank CD and asks for i tructio .
