Why has my Apple USB SuperDrive suddenly stopped working with my MacBook Pro?
Normally I plug it in and insert a CD or DVD and it is immediately recognised, but today it took the DVD, made a 'whirring' noise for a few seconds and then stopped without being recognised.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
It may have failed or it may need a lens cleaning. Use a lens cleaning DVD or use a fine microfiber cloth (eye glasses cleaning cloth) wrapped around a business card and gently insert it into the slot.

Do not dismiss the possibility that there may be a problem with the given disk. Test with another disk.
Cannot clean or anything as I cannot eject the disc, which is now inside the SuperDrive, until the MacBook Pro recognises it and allows me access to the 'eject' command!
Try the options on this list:

Try 1 and 5.

Thanks - issue resolved when switched off and restarted MacBook!
DVD now ejected and others DVDs / CDs now work normally.
