USB Superdrive Won't Mount

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

Until you insert a disk, it will appear that nothing is connected, other than in the Apple menu () > About This Mac > System Report > USB.

If you have inserted a disk, and nothing is appearing, please read: How to connect the Apple USB SuperDrive - Apple Support and Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support.

If you have a Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C Mac only, make sure you are using an official Apple adapter.

Cheers,

Jack

👉🏼 Try unplugging, then plug back in.

👉🏼 Try plugging into a different port.

👉🏼 Take it to an Apple retail store for a certified genius to see if it’s defective.
