Enabling Remote Disc on not-Airs
In Terminal:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true I've gotten it to work on both a Mac mini and my Blackbook (screenshot of the latter below).

Or....you can just go into "Sharing" under system preferences and choose "DVD or CD sharing"

Is there a way to find out if this command worked? I don't see any remote disks on my school network.

Yeah, the 'DVD/CD sharing' is just the server-side. The client is what is normally restricted to the Air, and that's what those preferences enable.
DVD/CD sharing is off by default; I haven't seen any other random machines at my campus with it on. I have gotten it to work between machines I have, though.

To do the server part, you can install the DVD or CD Sharing service for Windows. This is on the CD included with the Airs, but I think this is it as well: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...orwindows.html For the client part, that's only a feature of OS X.

Oh, and I don't actually have an iMac, Mac Pro, or XServe just lying around-- those three are Linux boxes and, since I wasn't too keen about them showing up with the BSOD icon, I made avahi send out the appropriate _device-info keys over Bonjour. Not that I would be terribly opposed to having an iMac, Mac Pro, and/or XServe just lying around, of course...

BTW, it appears to work without rebooting, I simply relaunched the Finder and it came right up.

Aloha everyone,
Has anyone successfully played a movie on the client using Remote Disc? I tried to do just that today - loaded a movie in my iMac to play on my MacBook Pro - but no joy. I was able to read from both a CD and a DVD, however, but have yet to attempt a write test. How far have any of you gotten thus far? Also, for those of you who have the MacBook Air, can you play a movie on the Air via Remote Disc on a 2nd Mac? I'm interested in finding the limits of Remote Disc. HawaiiMacAddict

Anyone know how to get this going in 10.5.5? Since I upgraded, my remote disc doesn't work anymore... (on my not-air).

Is it simply not showing up in Finder, or is it failing when you're actually trying to use it?

It's just not showing up at all. It was working fine before, but now... no dice. Remote sharing is on on my min and MBP, but the not-air doesn't see anything anymore.

i can see the remote disc but the problem is that i am left just with a "waiting for disc" screen. Is it just my slow wifi?

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to say that I got a refurbished Nvidia Mac mini and it had remote disc enabled by default. It can see discs I put in my iMac and MacBook. I have no idea why this is since I have a SuperDrive in it already. Still cool if not very useful to me.

Hey guys,
Been scouring the internet forever for this, just wanted to let you all know this still works. Make sure the "ODS" line in terminal is a capital O and not a zero. Cheers!

I'd like to report that as of 10.6.7, ODSSupported is unnecessary – just enabling EnableODiskBrowsing is enough.
And here's a tip on how to get rid of "Remote Disc" in the sidebar:
After following these steps you can still access Remote Disc by going to Computer (⇧⌘C) and selecting "Remote Disc".
