Mac won't read disc and can't install?!

Aloha K,

Sounds to me like the disc is bad/scratched etc.

1-Will it even ‘mount’ in the Finder?

2-Even before trying to install Cubase. can you ‘see’ it
on the desktop or in the Sidebar?

3-Is there another 'puter availble to try?

If the answer is no to either of the above and since you ‘bought’ it,
send/take it back and ask for a replacement disc.
