Not able to reinstall Mac OS X 10.6 because Cd Slot isn't working!
Hey there,
I have had this problem for quite some time now and still haven't found a solution:
I am not able to install anything, not even system updates and Mac AppStore Apps.
Plus
I can't get my Mac to recognize USB flashdrives etc. so I think that a full reinstall of the operating system might solve these problems right?
Now the only reason I can't go ahead without asking for advise first is because my data is still on the mac and can't just be downloaded to an external hard drive 'cause the external hard drive it isn't recognized AND because my DVD drive won't read the Installation CD (or any other cd/dvd) for the same reason I believe.
So please help me out here, what do I do?
I really need the data to be saved somehow. Then do a clean reinstall of the OS.
