Well, if you're using the Apple USB Superdrive, the answer is six, apparently. I've had this drive on two computers, a Mac Pro at work and another at home and it never goes smoothly. Either it can't read the disc, or says it can't get information fast enough or the drive doesn't show up. Nov 07, 2012 The first two eject commands worked the same for me, but if one doesn’t work for you, try the other. Drutil eject drutil tray eject. If you have an external drive, you should try a third command: drutil eject external When Nothing Else Works. Restart your Mac while holding down the.

No Offset Correction
- Written by Pedro Ivo A from BRASÍLIA
It is not possible to discover the wright offset correction of this drive and apple doesn't reveal wich it is. It does mean it is impossible to rip CDs with 100% accuracy. So the drive became useless for me.2 of 2 people found this usefulA bad harbinger

I bought a new iMac. Love it. But to use the CD's and documents I had backed up I needed a CD ROM. Three wasted CD's and hours on the phone with Tech support and they decided it was the quality discs I chose and no warranty recall. Bought more CD's and same thing. Bought an Asus-cheapie for $29.00 and it's worked falwlessly. Fiji imagej for mac manual. I hate Lenovo, Asus and cheap stuff but when they work better than a home brand it fills me with dread.3 of 3 people found this usefulTypical Apple poor quality and inability to perform standard operations

As usual with Apple this is a product designed for looks rather than functionality. It costs well in excess of other drives yet has some really bad issues as follows..
-It can be difficult to eject disks
-It won't accept modern mini DVD's that are supplied with so many products these days leaving no way to use products with a very expensive iMac. As a result I have to resurrect an old Windows PC just to use modern devices.
An overpriced yet awful, bordering on useless product!3 of 3 people found this usefulNot up to Apple standard

I have many Apple products and this is by far the biggest disappointment. I haven’t owned it for that long (I still have the box) and it ate my dvd and quit working. It was making the worst sounds. It was grinding and clicking like crazy. I finally was able to get my DVD out. I called support and they had me put the DVD back in and now it is stuck for good. The worst part is that their only solution was for them to send me a new one and me ship mine back. That would seem like a great plan, but they wanted to charge me the full price of the new one. So essentially I would be purchasing a new product knowing how bad it was. I politely declined and I urge you to do the same. If you read the reviews, trust them. Stay away from this product. You will only regret it if you don’t.3 of 3 people found this usefulWorks great 4 years later.

Got mine when I initially purchased my Mid-2015 MBP, and it still works great. Not sure what people are having trouble with, I have never had any issue. You burn stuff, then eject the disk, or go to disk utility and hit eject.4 of 4 people found this usefulApple DVD Drive - GREAT PRODUCT

I have read the reviews and decided to buy this unit anyway. I have used it for over two years and NEVER has it failed me. Command to force quit mac. I love this drive. I play video disks and I read disks and I burn disks. - never a coster or an inability to use it successfully. GREAT PURCHASE!!!6 of 6 people found this usefulWorks Great!

I almost didn’t buy because of all the bad reviews. But after chatting with an apple representative and learning this is the only external cd drive option,I decided to buy it despite all the terrible reviews. Glad I did- I’m not a tech guy, but this was as easy as could be to use. Just insert the cd, follow the prompts on the screen, then select the button on the screen to eject. No problems whatsoever, no idea what all the bad reviews are about, a bit expensive yes, but not out of line compared to any Apple products. Great buy!8 of 8 people found this usefulApple USB SuperDrive

Despite nearly being frightened away by the plethora of bad reviews, I bought the unit. Hey, it's an Apple. In 15 years all I've bought is Apple and I have yet to regret doing so. My instincts told me if it was a piece of ****, Apple would not have left it on the market. Long story short: I bought it, it got here when it was promised, I plugged it in and it works fine. Apple.. your politics gag me, but your gear is top notch.10 of 10 people found this usefulTrash

I loved reading the review about those not being 'tech savvy' having trouble with this drive. I'm tech savvy and this device was a waste of my hard earned cash. I used device 3 times; that's it before it stopped working.4 of 4 people found this usefulLimited at best
- Written by Marlyn A from Newport News
The device itself functions well, but how ridiculous it is that for my Macbook with USB-C interface I cannot charge the computer and watch a movie using the SuperDrive because it only works when connected with the Apple USB-C to UBS adapter. Too limited, is a joke! Does not seems to be worth the money.3 of 5 people found this useful$80 down the drain
- Written by Katherine R from Laurel
Says it is compatible with new MacBook Pro models with adapter, but when I try to connect a brand new superdrive to a brand new MacBook Pro using a USB to USB-c adapter, I get a message to plug the drive directly into a USB port that does not exist on this machine. Thanks a lot, Apple. Looks like another $80 Apple tax from this perspective.10 of 10 people found this usefulGreat Product !

So glad that I bought this wonderful cup holder..seriously..I bought something basically to watch movies, but careful, if you actually want to watch something from this century (like a Blu-Ray), sorry this won't work..so now I have an amazing computer, an amazing Disc collection and no way for them to come together with this, Apple's only drive..3 of 4 people found this usefulWorthless Junk

These things are complete junk. The most recent one lasted less than 1 day. This is the last time I purchase one of these from Apple. Time to look elsewhere for a DVD player. Thanks Apple.3 of 4 people found this usefulAnother one bites the dust.

One Apple Hard Drive died. https://majorrenew388.weebly.com/mac-sierra-d-manual-display-error.html.
2 Time Capsules died.
1 iMac 27' fusion drive died.
None of them recoverable.
The SuperDrive.
Used a few times, always put it back in the box after use so that dust would not find its way in. And still, it died with absolute minimal use. Truly disgusted with the lack of quality from Tim Cook's version of Apple.
Now I need to find another vendor that I can rely on with regards to a CD/ DVD drive, sorry, still have tons of storage on old discs, not like Tim Cook says begone SuperDrive and all my data is accessible elsewhere.33 of 39 people found this usefulLOVE IT

I replaced my 2007 iMac with a 2017 - no built-in drive so I purchased the Superdrive. I plugged in the USB and inserted my music disc. It loaded up immediately and played beautifully. When I was finished, I clicked the eject icon on the screen in iTunes and it popped right out. Each time I've used it, this is exactly what happens. Perfect! I'm glad I didn't heed the bad reviews and gave it a shot.21 of 23 people found this usefulFast and beautiful!
