The same happened with me, I can read DVD's but no CD's...

Fix?

Same here, SuperDrive is non-responsive,hope someone drops an answer soon.

I'm also having a similar issue with the firmware update.

Luckly, I was able to complete the update and use the drive (knock-on-wood) but now I get a pop up saying "there's no drive to update" everytime I start up the mbp. How will one get rid of it? - It's quite annoying.

See if the updater is set to startup each time the mac does and disable that if the update is done.

Thanks for the quick response. Surely it worked.

As one might have guessed, I'm practically new to Mac OS since the most recent OS which I'm familiar with is OS 9.2 (dated back from 7.1). And I'm catching up to the OSX but it is quite remarkable so far.

Thanks again!! 😉

I haven't found a solution either. After the update, it won't read my burned CD of a certain brand but can read other brands. It used to be able to read it; I burned hundreds of pictures to those CD-Rs before. Now I can't access my pictures on the disk!!!

How do you get rid of this item at startup?

Same here, mine won't even accept a disc despite the drive showing up in System Profiler and iTunes. I called AppleCare and was told that I'd need to take it to an Apple store/service centre to get it fixed.

i was actually able to import cd's that would import prior. sorry to hear that some of you are having issues.

My drive appears to be working great, but I did have the dialog box every startup. Here is how I fixed it:

Go to System Preferences: Accounts: Login Items

You should see it listed there. Select it and his the "minus" sign at the bottom. It should be gone and never bother you again.

I updated my superdrive using the 2.1 update and now
my drive does not work at all. Anyone have a
solution?

Curious.
If your system worked perfectly fine before,why would you want to update it? What are you expecting the unit to do after an update, which you wasn't able to do before? Are you expecting it to grow wings, allowing you to burn, rip, read faster?

Why not update when one is released? It's usually to make something better/"more compatible".

I don't think everyone needs the update cause it'll generally fix something which affects you, as a user. Such as problems accessing DL DVD's, compatibility with a certain brand, speed or something else, then yeah by means do try the update.

But if your not experiencing any such problems, then there's absolutely no point upgrading, as for every update there is a slim chance something can go wrong; esp firmware updates. Sure Apple can replace the Unit, but you'll be without your system for xx days/weeks. Get my drift?

This Happened to my machine to, I then installed 10.4.10 and its all working perfectly again!?

Must be something in the software?

My superdrive won't even let me boot from the OS X Install disc, is there a way to uninstall the update or install OS X 4.10 without a disc?
