Good work, so the iMac see's the SuperDrive. Try another CD or DVD in the SuperDrive. If it does not accept any disc's, then it could have a mechanical defect and you need to return or exchange it.

No the SuperDrive should work plugged into one on the iMac's USB 3.0 ports.


Could just be a defective SuperDrive.


As a test, try connecting the SuperDrive to a different iMac and see if it works there. If not, then you need to contact Apple Support or your local Apple Authorized Service Provider and exchange that one.
