I have a new iMac 27" and just plugged in a Apple USB superdrive and get message, "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled." I am trying to load Office mac2011 what to do?
If you just bought the iMac and the Sjuperdrive take the superdrive back and get a refund. The by any other brand external DVD drive that connects by USB and try that. Most come with a Y USB cable to allow you to connect to 2 USB ports to supply enogh power to the drive IF Needed.
Or take both back and get a refund on both, you have 14 days to return it no questions asked, and buy another iMac and some other brand external DVD drive. -

What iMac..?
The Apple USB SuperDrive only supports new iMac's that did not come with a built-in SuperDrive.
System Requirements
Compatible with the following computers:
MacBook Pro with Retina display
MacBook Air
iMac (late 2012)
Mac mini (late 2009) and later -
Just bought a 5c and when I connected to our desktop it doesn't recognize that the iphone is plugged in. We have tried multiple usb ports and nothing.
Hello csmithhisler,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5c! I am sure you are eager to get your new iPhone set up, but sounds like your iPhone is not appearing in iTunes. I recommend following the steps in this article to troubleshoot the issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

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 10.10.3The 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 plug my iPad into charger and nothing happens?
I plug my iPad into charger and nothing happens?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

USB Superdrive and my new 15" Retina display MacBook Pro
This probably sounds stupid, but I recently purchased a new 15" retina display Macbook Pro. A week after I brought it home, I went to put in a DVD, and discovered it didn't have a built in CD/DVD drive. (DUH - first one I ever bought that didn't have one - so much for old guy assumptions.) So, I went out and spent more money on an Apple USB Superdrive, which the Apple store employee cheerfully told me was simply plug and play into the USB port. I plugged, and it won't play. In fact, after 15 seconds, it automatically ejects the CD/DVD. The instructions that came with the Superdrive said "plug and play." That was it. What can I do to get this thing to work??
I really feel like an idiot. I took the Apple USB Superdrive and the computer back to the Apple Store and told the employee it didn't work. He said, "Sure it does. I have one hooked up at home on the exact same computer. (MacBook Pro 15" with retina display) He plugged it in, inserted a DVD, and, lo and behold, it worked perfectly. What a shock! Now, here's the kicker. The Apple USB Superdrive had been packed in the box upside down. The bottom of the Superdrive is black with a beautiful Apple logo on it. The top of the Superdrive is the plain burnished silver color with no identifying marks or logos. I had set it on my desk the way it came from the box - UPSIDE DOWN ! With the Apple logo on top, I had been loading the CD's/ DVD/s upside down. Of course it's not going to work that way! It now functions perfectly after I was shown that I had the Superdrive upside down on the desk. I tell you, it's tough to get old. A nice little Apple logo on top of the Superdrive instead of on the bottom might have helped too. Problem solved......

My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.
first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service. -

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -
i plugged in a usb stick and it had lots of videos on it and it won't let me open them and watch them, it says 'a required codec isn't available'
please helpi plugged in a usb stick and it had lots of videos on it and it won't let me open them and watch them, it says 'a required codec isn't available'
This message indicates the videos were encoded using codecs for which the current "playback platform" is not currently configured. Either use a third-party media player having the required codecs built into the player or install the required codecs on your system if available. -
The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?
The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

Hi there I'm trying to update my mac that is on OS X 10.4.11 and nothing is coming up in the software update in the apple menu
That would be because you have the last version of Tiger. To upgrade you need to purchase a newer version of OS X released since Tiger. They would be:
Leopard (10.5.x);
Snow Leopard (10.6.x);
Lion (10.7.x).
Which one you purchase depends in part on your computer model and installed RAM. Unfortunately, you did not provide any additional information.
Lion is the current version of OS X, but Snow Leopard is still available through Apple's Online Store. -
I have just transferred all my iphone videos into my macbook, now I would like to put these videos onto a dvd for playing on any dvd; how would I do that with my usb Superdrive dvd/cd drive. I don't see a option to burn. Please help and responses is greatly appreciated, I am a New macbook user.
You need an app like Toast by Roxio (http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/default.html). You would use Toast to burn the videos to a DVD-R disc.
-
After installing Lion on my mini, I no longer get a "recognition sound" when I plug in a usb device. Is this normal?
I am not sure any Mac every had a sound for plugging/unplugging USB devices.
You may be right. It's only on Windows that the sound is created and heard.
I know that since Tiger on this MBP, when I plug in my external scanner, I never heard anything.
And plugging in my Blu-Ray recorder also does not make any sounds.
I cannot speak for anything but my Mac laptops, however. Desktop Macs might make a sound.
