I ordered a SuperDrive to go with the Mac Mini that's due here tomorrow. The SuperDrive arrived on Friday. I plugged it into my 17" MacBook Pro and it only makes clicking noises. It won't take in a disc, doesn't show up in System Report or Disk Utility or anything. I figured it was bad.
This morning, I bought one from the local Best Buy, figuring I'd return the other one to Apple. Well, it's doing the same exact thing. Now I'm wondering... will an external SuperDrive work on a machine with one already built-in?? Or did I actually manage to get two bad SuperDrives?
I'm all up to date software-wise... 10.8.2, etc. I've rebooted, no change. I've tried difference USB ports on the MBP and also on my Thunderbolt display. No change.
