I just purchased a new Mac Book Air about 2 months ago. The usb SuperDrive I bought it last year and It worked fine with my old Mac Book Air. I am using a usb hub Belkin. I know the Hub works as I have an external drive connected to it and I see the drive when I view it on finder.
Try plugging it directly into the Mac. Superdrives don't care for most hubs/docks.

Two Things:
A. The Hub Being the Culprit:
It's probably the hub not having enough power. So, connect it directly into the computer. Or use an external-powered USB Hub
B. Verify the Connection:
See if the SuperDrive is even seen:
Get an adapter for this and other devices that you will probably need sooner or later. I use these and they work fine:
You’ll need a simple adapter, Apple has a good one. There are other brands.
It did resolve the problem I am now able to play my cd but now I have this issue. I have all my music saved on an external drive. what I am trying to do is import some old cd i have to my itune account and it will will not allow me. I get this message
"Error Occurred while converting the file. An unknown error occurred (-54). Not sure how to correct this problem can anyone help.
Thank you for your advise but the super drive I have only has a usb connextion. I have connexted it to the external hub I have which is a Belkin F4U090. So not sure what to do next.
Yep, got a half dozen. One for every Mac plus a spare. They do tend to get lost in the pocket change sometimes.
Thank you! Just purchased it and will try it out. Will keep you posted
