Apple Usb Superdrive Not Working With Macbook Pro

This USB SuperDrive by Apple burns fast and plays well. Being USB, it's extremely portable. Before you purchase, make sure you're computer is compatible. Compatible with the following computers: MacBook Pro with Retina display MacBook Air iMac (late 2012) and later Mac mini (late 2009) and later Mac Pro (late 2013) This could save you some heartache if you have an older Mac Pro with a bum DVD burner.

got this to use with my Apple USB Superdrive. the connection is secure and working as expected.

It works I tried several aftermarket adapters to get my superdrive to work with my 2016 MacBook Pro but only the Apple Adapter worked

I purchased this USB SuperDrive along with the MacBook Pro since it didn't have one. I plugged it in and it works just fine. Happy with it.

If you own an iMac or macbook that had an original cd/dvd, then you took the original cd/dvd out to upgrade the hard drive like I did, you will find the hard way that Apple crippled the Apple Superdrive so as not to work on such upgraded machines. Why? Who knows... I made the mistake of thinking the Apple superdrive would work on my upgraded iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011). Nope. So I returned it and bought this LG burner. It's something like $ less than the superdrive and oh by the way, IT WORKS. Now, if you have an iMac or macbook that did NOT come with a dvd/cd built in, the Apple SuperDrive WILL work on your computer. But heck, I'm hear to tell you, why spend the extra $ bucks? Just get this.

Apple now does not offer many options for Ports ( on new MacBook Pro)... only USB-C on its new Lap tops ....so if you have a new MacBook Pro you will need this . Other laptops and of course iMacs have USB-A ports .. so I have a new 16'' MacBook Pro and need to have access to ports other than only USB-C. Also there is no card slot ... beware.Get one if necessary. I also got a SuperDrive ... no longer an option on new Macs.

I bought a New USB Superdrive to use with a 2017 IMAC (also bought from B&H) and Im completely satisfied with both. The superdrive is working flawlessly and it looks as if it was designed to sit artfully on top of the flanged aluminum base of my MAC.. Come to think, it probably was. I had never used an external CD drive before now, because I've never had to.Thats a separate issue. Also I can understand why some aren't happy with the lack of an actual eject button on the device.If I was using anything but a MAC with an Apple magic keyboard (which has an eject button on it) this might become an annoyance. The fact is if I was using anything but an newer MAC I wouldn't need the drive. Used as intended with a MAC or MACBOOK these drives are great and I not hesitate to buy another one If I buy a MACBOOK later this year.

The Superdrive is a great add-on for your MacBook. The caveat is that I had issues with giving it enough power to operate when connected through a USB hub, even with a 'double-headed' USB that is supposed to provide more power to the port. I also wish they would have a USB-C version so I wouldn't have to use a USB-C adapter.

Received my external CD/DVD USB SuperDrive quickly and packaged just fine. Just one usb3 connection and it was alive when disc entered. No messing with third party apps, works great when its Apple to Apple. B&H great to buy from and the price is always on target.

The Apple USB SuperDrive works great. Does not disappoint. Plug and play and very easy to operate.
