USB SuperDrive Help

I have a USB SuperDrive for my mac book pro, but it won't let me play a dvd. It just keeps ejecting the disk by itself. How do I get it to work?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

The super drive is meant for retina MBPs and Mac book Airs. It is not compatible with other MBPs.

No, but the technicians at the genius bar should. Have you tried this superdrive with your sisters MBP and vice versa?

Ciao.
