lg slim portable dvd writer is not connecting

Hi there

I have a Macbook Air and purchased a LG slim portable dvd writer and its not connecting. What am I doing wrong? Is it not a compatible device?

Thanks

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

This only works for awhile. I have same issue. DVD will work for awhile. If DVD goes unused for awhile, Mac "loses" it. Putting in a new DVD doesn't mount, unplug/replug doesn't do anything, using different USB doesn't do anything. Restart Mac, DVD comes back. Restarting is not a solution, its a bandaid and I expect more from Apple and the $3k iMac I just bought. BTW, I didn't buy the external Apple Superdrive because of all the bad reviews.
