thank you for the quick reply. It is not possible to connect the dvd player (usb) directly to the imac (imac has a thunderbolt connection) I put a Sitecomm hub between the 2, but is is not working.that is how it is. other connections (iphone, ipad) do work. The Nonda you suggest, works the same I guess

The chip set in the hub or adapter may or may not work.

I know from personal experience the Normad does work on my M1 Mac Mini

Does the player appear in About This Mac>Overview>System Report>Hardware USB?

WIthout a disk in the drive it will NOT show in Finder or on your desktop.

No it does not appear. I even can't put the dvd into the player. I'm afraid I have to buy an other hub. Thank tou and have a nice day, Toos
