Q: How do I transfer a cd from my imac to macbook pro?

My macbook doesn't have a cd drive. I have itunes on both but my entire library is on macbook, not imac. Dropbox doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Please help! I've done it before but tried so many different ways, I can't remember what finally worked.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I did & it lets me get as far as seeing the disc on my macbook but won't allow me to download it or drag it onto desktop or iTunes. When I click on it it says something like "cannot open alias". I tried "copy disc" & that didn't work either.

What exactly are you trying to download or drag?

You can't drag and drop a CD to copy it. You can drag and drop files from the CD.
