apple superdrive isnt recognized by the mac. the strange thing is, that i can see it in the system pref, it makes a noise when i plug the usb in, so it does work, but i cant see it in the finder, nor can eject the cd inside
Mac mini, 12.1
If none of the above work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If needed find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple.

Is it plugged directly into a USB port on the computer, not though a USB hub or USB port on a display? A Superdrive needs more power than a normal USB port can provide. A Mac will recognize the drive and send more power to its USB port.
Thanks for your quick reply.
i used the terminal command as you wrote, and it forced the cd to eject.
i tried to check the superdrive with different cd, and the Mac recognized it like it should.
when I tried to reinsert the first cd, it happened again, and i used the terminal command again to eject it.
so, apparently something is wrong with the cd itself, and that made the superdrive not to be responsive.
thanks a lot!
Thanks! I plugged it as you said, and with the terminal command I managed to fix it
You’re welcome.
