USB Superdrive No Longer Recognized

I have an external Apple USB Superdrive attached to my iMac. When I upgraded to Yosemite, it stopped being recognized. Is that a coincidence, or do I need to make some change?


Thanks.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

I am saying I don't think the issue is your Yosemite upgrade.


I am suggesting you use the Superdrive article attached above as a guide.


For example:


  • Is your iMac model from late 2012 or later?
  • Do you attach the Superdrive to your USB port before loading the disk (as you should)?
  • Have you tried many (all) your USB ports? (You are plugging the Superdrive directly into the computer, right?)
