My Apple USB SuperDrive used to work in my 2012 MacBook Pro. Now when I connect directly to one of the USB ports I get an error message: "Apple USB SuperDrive is not supported" I'm running Sierra 10.12.6.
Why doesn't it work anymore? Or more to the point: How can I get it to work? Is this due to a change in OSX?
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Thanks for your reply.
This drive used to work on my MacBook Pro (2012). It still works with the Mac Mini. But now when I plug it into the USB port on the MacBook Pro I get the Not Compatible error message. My MBPro came with an optical drive. I replaced the optical drive with an SSD drive and put the optical components in a case. As I said, it used to work and still does with other systems. I'm wondering if the recent OS update or some other change is the problem or it there is a driver or software patch that could make this work again.
