Q: macbook pro will not recognize apple usb superdrive.
My macbook pro (retina 15 inch mid 2014) will not recognize the Apple USB superdrive. I have tried both ports, restarted, replugged several times. Nothing seems to work. What is going on? I don't use the superdrive often so maybe I have forgotten something obvious but right now I am lost. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Well the whole problem turned out to be mine.
The Superdrive must be sitting flat with the silver side up. I had it upside down, i.e. the black side up and the silver side down. Talk about dumb !
Anyway, I thought I should post this to let any potential helpers off the hook and maybe some other dummy might find my information helpful.
