I bought a new Macbook Pro laptop. It doesn’t have usb ports. I bought a hub that works with the Thunder 4 plug in. When I connect my Apple dvd drive in the usb port, it tells me it has to have power and to plug it into a usb port on the laptop which it doesn’t have. I know the hub has power going to it because the light on it is on. Is there something I need to do to make it work?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0
an apple superdrive needs to be connected directly to the Mac to function. it will not work if you connect it through a dock or hub. and for Macs that only have TB3 (USB-C) ports, you need an USB-C to USB Adapter to connect it directly to the Mac.
