Q: superdrive doesn't work; DVD problems

Hi All,

 

I have a brand new MacBook and an older USB SuperDrive, version 12.21. When I connect the SuperDrive through the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter nothing happens. I just updated OSX to the latest 10.10.4.  I tried rebooting, still nothing. I tried starting the DVD app, and it says there's no supported disk in the drive (but there is). I plugged the same drive (with the same disk) into my MacBook Pro 15 Inch, and it worked right away. (I also have tried an Amazon Basics DVD drive with the new MacBook, and it works, sort of. I can play a video, for a while, but after running a while, it stops with an error message. Sorry, I can't reproduce the error message because that drive is in another location at the moment.)

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks!

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
