External USB SuperDrive problem My Apple external USB SuperDrive won't accept a disc. The drive tries to spin up the disc but then ejects it. I have tried a number of discs with the same result, so I'm assuming something is wrong with the drive. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated. -Paul

Apple USB SuperDrive does not work, ejects all DVDs. I have a 2018 Mac Mini, with an Apple USB SuperDrive. If I put in a DVD it gets ejected. This happened with os 11, and still happens with the latest os 13.5.1. I've tried 2 different Apple USB SuperDrives. I have a cheap LG external USB DVD player that works fine, and also worked on my previous os. (some random LG compatible with my Mac but an Apple device isn't?) Both drives show up in System Information. Anyone know a way to get the SuperDrive to work?

MacOS Ejects All DVDs, CDs Two months ago, my mid-2014 15" MacBook Pro Retina running Catalina stopped reading all discs inserted into my Superdrive. I bought a new one, thinking was a hardware problem. The issue remained. I have since upgraded to a 16" M1Pro MacBook Pro running Monterey and still the problem persists. When the Superdrive is plugged in, I can see it in System Information // Hardware // Disc Burning. When I insert disks -- no matter what disk or type of disk, purchased CDs, purchased DVDs, blank CD-Rs... -- the drive whirrs for a bit, then spits the disk out. Strikes me, thus, as some sort of software conflict? Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
