Maqckbook Air

Hi,

Not sure your MacBook Air model, though if it doesn't have USB port, you need to get self powered USB-C to USB hub or adapter.

If your MacBook Air has USB port, you would beed to get self powered USB hub.

Some Thoughts:

A. Compatibility:

Look at the original packaging or research it on the Web, seeing if it is compatible with macOS. 

B. Is there a Drive Even Seen?:

To Find Out:

1. Go to: Apple menu
2. Select: About this Mac
3. Click: System Report... button
4. View: Hardware on left-column
5. Click: Disc Burning
6. Confirm if a Superdrive is Even Seen

C. Try Using a New Administrator User:

See what happens when you create a new Administrator User and login to it and perform and eject. If it works, then it is something misconfigured in your current user.

D. Connect to a Different Mac:

Connect this to a difference Mac, seeing if you can get it to work. If you don't have another Mac, ask someone else (i.e. friend or family member) if you may use their Mac (with their permission, or course).
