Superdrive rejecting/not reading DVD-RW

I have tried several Staples DVD-RW 4x speed, 120 min. 4.7 GB.


The Mac Mini Super Drive keeps rejecting them.


I have not used DVD's or CD's for sometime, but they have worked normally before.


I was going to transfer/burn some files onto a DVD.

1. Try cleaning it with a Lens Cleaning Disc.

example > Amazon.com: Endust Lens Cleaner 262000: Home Audio & Theater


2. Then try a different brand of DVD-RW disc's like Verbatim, Memorex, Sony or Maxell.

example > Amazon.com: dvd-rw: Electronics


If those do not help, most any USB external CD/DVD optical drive will work with your Mac.
