[QUOTE="Tech-Challenged, post: 1948453, member: 424290"] Ok, this might seem obvious to others but I am tech-challenged. Have a new USB SuperDive I bought a couple of years ago but hadn't used it. Had to get a new computer, bought an IMAC 2024. Plugged the SuperDrive in and it showed up as an external but I couldn't get the CD with photos to take; it just spun and then ejected itself. Turns out (this is the embarrassing part) the external player has to be positioned with the silver side up and the black side (with the Apple log) down. If you don't do that the CD goes in upside down and won't play. Duh. [/QUOTE]
