It's possible that it's not showing on the Desktop or in the Finder sidebar because that option is unchecked.

  • To have CD/DVDs show on the Desktop, go to your Desktop, select Preferences... from the Finder menu, under the General tab select (put a check mark next to) items you want to appear on the Desktop. Close Preferences.

  • To have CD/DVDs show in the Finder's Sidebar, go to your Desktop, select Preferences... from the Finder menu, under the Sidebar tab select (put a check mark next to) items you want to appear on in the Finder's Sidebar. Close Preferences.
