My USB Super Drive does not work on my new Mac Air. The message is "USB Accessory Needs Power
Connect "Apple USB ..." to a USB port on this Mac." I am connecting it with a Sinistar accessory strip.
Can anyone help?
MacBook Air 15″
I am connecting it with a Sinistar accessory strip.
Ths is likely the problem. Hubs and docks won't work with that drive. The drive must be connected directly to a port on the computer, using only a USB-A to USB-C adapter. See the Apple article linked above your user name.
Also many users have reported that third-party adapters do not work. They say the three Apple adapters listed in the article work fine.

Thank you for the help
If you use an Apple thunderbolt display connected to your mac, and connect the superdrive to a USBA port on the back of the display, super drive works fine without an adaptor.
