I hate my new macbook pro. what now?

It's the one that only has two ******* lightning ports on it. I can't watch movies or anything using my dvd player, which is also new and from apple, on it because everytime i plug it into the stupid adapter a message pops up that says: "please plug into the computer" when the computer doesn't even have a usb port. It only has lightning ports. And watching dvds on it is an important part of having a laptop for me. I want my money back.

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

The new apple sold adapter does not work. This laptop and adapter was bought from Apple's online store.

There are no "lightning ports" on a the new MacBook Pro models. Only Thunderbolt 3, which is compatible with USB-C devices. So they technically are USB ports and should be able to work with a USB SuperDrive.


If you are near an Apple Store then they can help you diagnose what the issue is and try to get it to work. That's part of the value proposition with Apple devices, where the advice and fixes are free if there's no repair parts involved.


But if you really need to watch DVDs, at least in the US there are portable DVD players for less than $100.
