it shouldnt have the problem with CDs, they are compatible, however DVD's can be a problem if that's what she's using. But u said CDs so I wont get into that.
Anyway, one thing I want to know is if she has succesfully burned a cd at all? because depending on her program, the internal burner software for apple computers are HORRIBLE. If she burned a cd and then didn't check it and went to use it on a PC, nothing would show up. Making it seem like it didn't burn anything. However, if she'd put it back into the mac computer the cd would work fine.
This is because mac's internal burning software only writes mac OS DATA cds. If it were an audio cd it should work on a PC and all other devices.
Anyway, like I said, Apple's burner software is shit, so my suggestion to you and her would be to download a program called Roxio Toast Titanium. You'll need a serial number (sorry it's not free, so if you have morals, it's not for you! Hopefully you're friend doesn't have any morals!!)
Yeah, so once she has that installed, it should read any cd if the normal mac software isn't reading them. The best thing about this program is you can also choose to write both MAC and PC hybrid CDS, so that they'll be useable on both systems and won't show up blank on a pc like if you were to use the normal internal burner software. The only thing about that is, when you insert a new cd, try to have TOAST already open, or else a pop up window will show up asking you to name/prepare the cd, which is the internal burner software that does this.
But, since I don't know if it's reading the cds at all, then you don't have to worry about that window popping up!!!
Hey, I just figured out what I meant to say after all that rambling.
Just get Toast!
