[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1872725, member: 396914"] If the hub you used is not powered, that can happen with a lot of USB devices. CD writers require the maximum power a USB port can provide, and may, in fact, require more than one. I seem to recall the Apple super drive came with a cable with two USB plugs on the end for the computer. You had to have two free ports to power up the drive. Just about any drive should work with your iMac. They aren't terribly expensive. You can find them on Amazon. If you want to get one that you can be really confident will work with your Mac, try macsales.com. Here is a link to their optical drive section: [URL]https://eshop.macsales.com/search/?q=cd%20drive&filter.catidpath=2224[/URL] [/QUOTE]
