Apple store is wrong. The M1 has noting to do with the Apple Super Drive mechanically not working. It works fine on my two M1 units.
Foxtrot - Sierra solutions WORKS!
I was told at the Apple Store that the Super drive works on the Mini Mac Air, but not the other Mac Airs. Do you
have the Mini version?
old toad. Tried your suggestion of opening preferences on my Mac Air at the store. The Dvd window shows but the dvd still won’t play. Not sure what to do, suggestions?
Good news. With Monterey the issue has been resolved. I just tested.
Yes, Installing Monterey allowed DVDs to play as normal. Thank you for the heads up
I have both and no issue
Monterey upgrade resolved the issue
That's what I said above.
I believe 11.6.1 fixes the issue
11.6.1 is what I upgraded to. Sorry, I should have been clearer.
Is there likely to be any more updates to Big Sur now that Monterey has been released?
Perhaps but why not upgrade to Monterey since it fixes the DVD issue and the printer queue issue. That's what I did.
I am also careful about updates. The only issue for some is that the screen saver when using your own Photos does not always work but all others work fine, otherwise I have found no issues.
