Superdrive problem

The superdrive of my iMac (mid 2011, V 10.10.3) cannot burn. I tried to burn with Toast V 11 and Mac's own DVD writer but nothing happened. Can anybody help?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), iMac with Windows 7 platform

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).


Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd

Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.


You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.

At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

This will bring up the Help Menu.
