Superdrive not working after 10.8.5 update
Previously, I was able to use my Superdrive on one of the four USB prts on my Mac. It was already a pain inthe butt, because I have to manually swap the Superdrive cable and the iPad cable, but it worked. Now, it will ONLY work on ONE port, the first one (closest to the center). That's the port I have my KB/mouse on. If I switch the KB/mouse, my mouse (SteelSeries D3 mouse) doesn't have enough power.
However, I have used the SD and the KB/Mouse combo for months until the last OS update. (The other two ports house a hub and an externa drive. I have tried switching various things like the ouse, the drive, etc. onto the hub, but no combination works. [I already know no Apple device will work properly, and some not at all, on the hub.)
iMac 27" 3.4 ghz Intel i7
This is what WAS working until this morning:
USB One: Apple wired KB
Steel Series Diable 3 USB mouse (on KB USB)
USB Two: Targus USB 3.0 4-port powered hub
iPhone 4s (this runs fine on the hub)
USB Three: Basic USB drive housing with SATA drive
(I CAN run this on the hub, but since my other devices won't run on the other USB port in the iMac anyway, it doesn't help me much!)
USB Four: Apple USB Superdrive (Early 2013 model)
- OR -
USB Four: iPad 3rd Gen
Now the Superdrive won't work on anything but USB One, and neither will the KB/Mouse. The mouse will also not work on the hub. I'm guessing this is due to the OS update, but why on earth wold Apple make it HARDER to use Apple hardware????
Any suggestions? (Other than to get a non-Apple CD/DVD-r, which I am about a half an inch from as it is!!!) Thanks so much!
