DVD or CD Sharing...option does not exist

so I am running sierra OS and i'm trying to install my older Final Cut Pro from a windows laptop to my macbook pro via DVD or CD Sharing...but option does not exist on my macbook pro.  Remote share pops up but nothing shows in its location.  Why doesn't my sharing folder show DVD or CD sharing option?

I've tried downloading from apple.com the dvd and cd sharing driver but my mac tells me it's already installed but I can't find the option anywhere.   I also tried adding a couple lines of code that macrumors.com suggested into tricking my macbook pro into thinking it was a macbook air which automatically knows to use DVD or CD sharing feature.  Please help...I've been trying to figure this out and like everything else in my life i'm getting the true murphy's law test with my mac :/

FWIW, the Windows machine has to have CD?DVD sharing as well.

See: Use the CD or DVD drive from another computer with your Mac - Apple Support

Make sure your copy of FCP is Sierra compatible. You will probably need to upgrade.

Why doesn't my sharing folder show DVD or CD sharing option?

If you don't have a CD/DVD drive, then there would be nothing to share. The option isn't there for you to see other drives, but to share your own drive.

Remote share pops up but nothing shows in its location.

Do you mean you see "Remote Disc" in the Finder Sidebar as shown in the last screen shot on the page dialabrain linked?

If so, then your Mac is set up to find shared discs, but nothing is sharing anything out. If you are sharing out from a Windows computer, you have to install the DVD or CD Sharing Update as indicated in the article.

If not, check in the Finder Preferences, Sidebar and see if there is a checkbox to show Remote Disc in the sidebar.

yes I can see "remote disc" in the finder sidebar.

I am sharing out of a windows machine that I have already installed Dvd or Cd sharing update from apple.com and also enabled it in the control panel on the windows machine.

There is the 'remote disc' present but it doesn't show any data.

and in system preferences/sharing/  there is NO such checkbox for 'DVD or CD sharing'

FWIW, according to the link I posted…

Sharing discs

If your Mac doesn't have a built-in optical drive and you need to use a CD or DVD, you can connect an external drive like the Apple USB SuperDrive. You can also share discs from the optical drive of another Mac, or from a Windows computer that has DVD or CD Sharing Setup installed. DVD or CD sharing allows you to access documents stored on these discs, and allows you to install some software.

DVD or CD sharing isn't designed for some kinds of optical media. Connect a compatible optical drive directly to your Mac if you need to use one of these discs:

• Audio CDs
• Blu-ray or DVD movies
• Copy protected discs (such as some game discs)
• Recordable CDs or DVDs that you want to burn or erase
• Microsoft Windows installation discs

My guess is the FCP disc is one of the discs you need to use a Mac compatible drive directly connected your Mac.

So, what kind of version of FCP runs on a Windows machine? Apple's license stipulates that you must run it on Apple hardware.

And, how old is your Final Cut Pro version? If it was installed with an install DVD, then the installer will not work on newer Intel based machines.

FWIW, the Windows machine only entered the picture because it has a CD/DVD drive and the Mac doesn't.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, if they are install disks and depending on the version/age, it will not work as the installer is Power PC based and simply will not run on newer Macs. The app may (as it is usually universal) - I have an old version of Final Cut Express and have gone through that process.

The only way it will work is to avoid the installer and find ALL the files (and it's a page long list) in an older installed version and copy them over - one by one. I have done it and it worked, but mine is a slightly different app and version, and without being able to grab the installed files, there is no way.

There is the 'remote disc' present but it doesn't show any data.

and in system preferences/sharing/  there is NO such checkbox for 'DVD or CD sharing'

As I already stated, you won't have a checkbox for DVD Sharing as you don't have a drive. That checkbox is for sharing out the CD/DVD, not for receiving the shared CD/DVD.

Did you check for Firewall settings as indicated in the link posted by dialabrain?

But, as dialabrain indicated in the posted excerpt, that installer disc may not be supported. There is really no way to tell.

That shouldn't matter as far as SEEING the files from the PC. The issue isn't whether installers will work, it's whether createurf8 can see any files in the remote folder. He can't, so there's something wrong with the PC setup. I have the same issue; my MacBook Pro sees nothing in the Remote Disk folder after following the installation procedure.
