Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu. It'll also show up in the desktop or sidebar if the boxes for that are checked in the settings.

External CD/DVD drive and OS Ventura After upgrading to OS Ventura on my iMac desktop, my NOLYTH external CD-DVD drive is no longer recognized in finder and will not play a CD that I insert into it. With older versions of the operating system, it worked fine. I have tried restarting the computer with the drive plugged in, but that did not help. Is there any workaround for this situation? Alternatively, are there drives that are compatible with the current OS?

Help! iMac M3 will not recognize CD-ROM drives Have a week old iMac M3. Will not recognize any CD-ROM player. Seems that apple is abandoning the "old technology" of CD. Support confirms that. Has anyone found a workaround for this? PLEASE, no rehashing of what should be done in settings for prior iMac's. They are all set correctly, yet even support cannot help. This is going to leave tens of thousands of us with no access to our cd's. Not right Apple!!
