2.2 Mac Operation

Setting up your Kanguru QS Slim

Mac OS X has a built-in driver to support the Kanguru QS Slim. Simply plug in the Kanguru QS Slim 

DVDRW to your computer and your operating system will automatically detect the new hardware 

and install the appropriate driver. A CD/DVD icon will appear on your desktop when a CD or DVD 

is inserted into the drive. 

Note:

 The CD/DVD icon will only appear on your desktop when a CD or DVD is inserted in the 

drive. You will not see a CD/DVD icon on your desktop if the QS Slim is connected but there is no 

CD or DVD present.  

Burning CDs/DVDs

The Kanguru QS Slim does not come bundled with Mac compatible software. However there are 

many  free,  3rd  party  burning  programs  available  for  Mac.  We  recommend  using 

Burn! 

burning 

software with the Kanguru QS Slim.

Removing your Kanguru QS Slim

To properly remove the device from your computer, you need to first eject any disc in the drive. 

Your system may freeze up or give you an error message if you remove the device without properly 

stopping it first.  

To  remove  your  Kanguru  QS  Slim,  click  and  drag  the  CD/DVD  icon  from  your  desktop  to  the 

trashcan .  This will safely eject the disc from your system. Once the disc has been removed you can 

safely disconnect the USB Cable. If there is no disc in drive, there won’t be a CD/DVD icon on your 

desktop. In this case you can simply disconnect the USB cable.
