Is there a way to make a USB super drive work on an older Mac Book Pro? Internal CD drive stopped working. Put a disc in, it spins around and then ejects the disc. New super drive gives a not supported notice when I plug it in.

As many slot-loading drives can act "dead" when they get dirty, an inexpensive drive cleaning disk may well restore you existing drive to full function foregoing the need to trick the computer into recognizing a SuperDrive. I've seen it happen many times and the disks, which also work on any CD or DVD drive, are only US$5-15 at most home electronic centers, computer shops, and large office supply outlets that carry computers and their accessories.

I have heard there are some workabouts to get a SuperDrive to work with older Macs but the fact that it requires an unsupported procedure means any instructions posted here would not last long before being reported. However internet search engines are your friends.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try that. I took my laptop to the Apple store and they checked it out and told me the drive was done.
