[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1636248, member: 56379"] This is weird (drive will work on her Mac but not yours). But there is possibily an explanation (depending on your and her exact model Mac's). I'm sure you're familiar with the Apple external superdrive that many folks purchase who have purchased a newer Apple computer (that does not have a built in optical drive)...and they need an optical drive. This one: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive]Apple USB SuperDrive - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] This external superdrive is only compatible with certain model Apple computers (probably only the newer models without built-in optical drives)...probably a firmware thing. So maybe this external superdrive is similar to the Apple external superdrive...and is compatible with her computer...but not your's (depending on the computer models we are talking about). This may not explain why the drive won't eject the disk on her computer...but maybe it explains why the drive is not compatible with your computer. BTW...has your client tried using the optical drive eject button on her keyboard? - Nick [/QUOTE]
