I bought a brand-new Apple USB SuperDrive two days ago.
I would appreciate your advise/help ASAP. Thanks!
Apple USB SuperDrive-OTHER, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
Apples USB SuperDrive is not intended to be used on Macs that have a built in optical drive, wether the built in drive works or not. Return it for a refund and get yourself a nice third party external drive for about one third of the price.
i'm not certain the SuperDrive won't work on a Mac with an internal drive and I have no Macs with an internal drive to test. However, if you try and play a DVD from a restricted region or a Blu-ray disk, that will never work.
Compatible with the following computers:
MacBook Pro with Retina display
MacBook Air
iMac (late 2012) and later
Mac mini (late 2009) and later
Mac Pro (late 2013)

And besides being not compatible it's incredibly overpriced. A $30 LG drive does everything the Apple drive does but it doesn't have a cute little Apple logo on it.
Yes. I saw that after I posted.But Thanks.
Thanks Mike, I were already afraid about this answer, but it seems you're right. I'll return it ASAP.
BTW, I especially chose for this DVD drive to avoid connection & operational probs. But the really shame for Apple is the limited use of this device isn't mentioned on the website, nor at the package let alone in the instruction manual.
Thanks again for useful advise!
FWIW, the SuperDrive was created for Macs with no built in optical drive which it does well. I'm not sure that makes it limited.
Take a look at this LG drive from Amazon for $25 http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Portable-Rewriter-GP60NS50/dp/B00C2AMKR2/re f=pd_sim_147_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=31mM9Ik-TcL&…
