[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1838794, member: 396914"] Again, that makes zero sense. Not doubting it happened to you, just that it makes no sense, given the technology involved. Drives don't need to be synced or verified to work. They just work. There isn't any real intelligence in the drive, just the tech to read/write the drive and pass the data to the computer through the USB interface. It's not rocket science, it should be plug and play. The Apple SuperDrive has issues with connecting to a Mac with an internal CD drive because of how Apple interface software in the machine with the internal drive is configured, but your iMac doesn't have an internal CD drive, so that should not be the issue. I have a SuperDrive and use it in an external enclosure with no problems at all, but I'm on a MBP with no internal CD drive, so the software is configured to allow the SD to work. Mystery. That said, it's good that it got sorted and you have a working CD drive. [/QUOTE]
