HT1349 Can a USB SuperDrive only work with a mac or can it work with other computers?

I received one as a Christmas gift but have an Asus computer. I want to know if it can work for it before I open it or have to return it.

Only with those Macs that do not come with optical drives.

  • The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

    The special offer for the printer that is going on with a Mac, how does that work? Is it true i can get a free printer?

    you pay for it up front, and they give you a rebate or $99, so if you buy a $99 printer from them (Epson Stylus NX430 Small-in-One Color Inkjet Printer $99.95) then the printer becomes free. You can not get this deal unless you also buy a mac with it.

  • I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini 2012 but does not show anything on the screen. Not sure if its working.

    I just purchased Apple USB SuperDrive and connected to my Mac mini late 2012 USB slot but nothing shows up on the screen.
    I have OS X versus 10.10.3

    The system bus and all connected products should appear in the system profile or in the
    hardware part of About this Mac (more info) and if that does not, restart the computer with
    the external Apple USB SuperDrive plugged in. •As a last resort, if nothing else, before a
    return trip to be rid of the SuperDrive, you could try a system management controller reset.
    The SMC reset is not a first choice, so I won't post a link to the support instruction page.
    A new Apple USB SuperDrive should be seen as hardware in system information report.
    Of course, an icon of disc media should appear once the disc is inserted into the drive, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

    I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

    Working on that now.  I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage.  Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

    We're just users like yourself, so we can't answer your question.  It's just how Apple designed the calendar on iPad.  There are calendar apps with more flexibility in the App Store.  You might want to explore those options.

    Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
    Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. Defenders point out that "they", are not people, but machines. And they argue that it is a harmless way of making advertising relevant to users and raising revenues.
    Others might say that whether a machine or a human is doing the work, the potential for a privacy breach is there.

    Digital booklets are pdf documents.  Go to the iTunes View menu > View Options and check the "kind" column to display.  Then, use the search box at the top right of the iTunes window to search for "pdf".  If you have any, they will be listed in the search results.

  • My iPad is disabled and it says to connect to iTunes with my Mac. Its not working. How can I get my iPad to work?

    My iPad is  disabled and it says to connect to ITunes with my Mac. It still is not working.

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Anyone with a MAC who can't connect to Music Store???

    Is there anyone else out there on a Mac who can't connect to the Music Store?
    I've been reading a bunch of threads with similar connection timeout issues but they mainly belong to Window users, users in England who are using an ISP with Orange, and users who are using personal firewalls.
    Just a week ago was downloading songs fine and suddenly three days ago, I can't do anything. Redeem a code, download a song.
    I've contacted Apple Customer Service but am getting the run-around with automatic emails, emails that send me to Windows articles, emails that seem to not be understanding what is going on.
    Has anyone else with a MAC been able to figure out how to fix this? Is a specific modem issue (I have a Motorola cable modem)? Is this an ISP specific issue (I use Cox Communications)? Or is this a widespread Apple issue?
    Ideas? Suggestions??

    Yeah It would be nice if the put ALL windows forums in one section and leave it out of the mac sections, or atleast split the ipod forums one for windows one for macs but ho well...
    I know for iTUnes they have a windows only section, but then for some reason they dumped all windows topics in the iTUnes for mac section too. so Time to Time we get mac posters here and have to redirect them
