I have a super slim usb 2.0. Can't get it to work on macbook air. Any ideas?

I have just bought a super slim usb 2.0 disc drive but I can't get it to work on my macbook air and now a dvd is stuck in it! Any ideas?

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Usb port wont work on macbook pro 13" late 2011

Hello, can anyone help please?
I have 2 usb ports but only 1 is working correctly, the other wont take flash drives or my iphone 4 they wont show in the finder or anywhere on my macbook, however my wd harddrive works fine in the same port.
just to be sure 1 port is working absolutely fine accepts flash drives and every thing this problem is only with one of the ports
This does seem to have happened after i installed mavericks but not sure if this is related

Though all USB ports may not have the same power output, based on what you describe on the 'suspect' port suggests a different issue. Take the devices that will not work on the 'suspect' port with the MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians inspect it.
You might try SMC and PRAM resets, but I have my doubts about success in your case:

These will not harm your MBP.

MacBook Pro Retina USB 2.0 devices not working in right side USB port

4 days ago I bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
When I plug USB 2.0 device to right side USB port, it does not work. OSX does not recognize it, iPhone does not charge, and so.
When I plug the same USB 2.0 device to left side USB port, it works.
When I plug USB 3.0 device to left or right side USB ports, it works without a problem.
Does anyone have this same issue? How did you resolve it?

I have a similar issue with a 13" Retina. Both my ports work OK for most USB devices but the right one won't work with a USB external HD (Time Machine backup). Very consistant.

I just switched from pc and want to get printer drivers to work with macbook air. How do I do that?

I just switched from pc and want to get my HP all in one printer to work with macbook air. Is it just as simple as downloading drivers from HP?

Turn the printer on and plug the printer into the MBA and your mac should install the printer for you (usually any necessary drivers too). I had a printer I used on a pc and I plugged it into my macs usb port and my mac automatically recognized it and took care of everything for me. If you do this and it wont print, then yes go to the HP website the install latest drivers for 10.7
Also, as a new mac user you should find these articles helpful:

Can I connect a USB 2 sound card to a Macbook equipped only with USB 3 ports?

Hello,
I just learned I might have to purchase a new Macbook because my USB ports are fried and I was looking at purchasing a refurbished Macbook pro from 2012:
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FD101LL/A/refurbished-133-inch-macBook-pro-25g hz-dual-core-intel-i5
the only trouble is I make music with a MOTU Audio Express sound card, and it only has a USB 2 port and a bus-powered Firewire (which I don't like using since it hasn't been too reliable in the past).
http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/audio-express/summary.html
Unfortunately, it seems that the Macbook I'm looking into purchasing only has USB 3 ports, and I looked for info on USB 3->USB 2 adapters online and this simply doesn't seem to exist. The only info I managed to find on this subject was this little bit on the Apple website:
Can a USB 2 cable be used to connect a USB 3 device to my computer?
If the device end of the cable fits into the connector on the device, yes. However, because it has fewer wires, you won't get USB 3 speed and power may be limited to 500 mA.
does this mean that I can connect a USB 2 cable from the USB 2 port of the MOTU sound card to the USB 3 port on the Macbook? I'm OK with the power and the speed being limited to USB 2 power, I just want to make sure I can actually use my sound card with this new Macbook.
Thanks!

I think I'm understanding this a bit more now.
Here is the cable that I use:
http://www.amazon.ca/USB-Cable-Type-Male-Black/dp/B00183I7EE
The Type A part is the one that I'm currently putting into the Macbook and the Type B part goes in the sound card.
Would this work with a USB 3.0 port on the Macbook?
Thanks for your time and patience...

My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

Camera not working for macbook air

It's a macbook air A1370, iOS 10.8.3. The build-in camera is not working. Both Facetime and photobooth show that the camera is not connected. I checked the system info, under the usb session, the build-in camera is there. I followed some posts and reset the SMC, not helping.
What should I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

tdingsh wrote:... Is there a way to re install the camera driver? ...
Yes. Follow the instructions for reinstalling your Mac OS X. All necessary drivers are automatically installed by the OS X installer.
tdingsh wrote:... Apparently ... computer is not detecting the in-built camera ...
By using your Mac''s (option) > System Information... menu command, you can be certain whether your Mac detects its camera.
When the System Information window opens, click on "USB" under "Hardware" in the sidebar. Then look in the USB Device Tree window pane that opens when you select "USB". Click ALL right-facing triangles ( ▶) so they point down (▼) and reveal all individual items.
If your camera is nowhere in the USB Device Tree window pane, your Mac does NOT recognize the cam.
Resetting the SMC using the instructions for your specific Mac model may restore camera function.

USB drives not working on Macbook Pro

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and both USB drives are currently not working. All storage devices work in my other Mac, just not in this one. They do not show up in disk utility or anything. I've attached a screenshot of the system profiler information, because when compared to my other Mac it doesn't show as many USB ports. Please Help, Justin

Hi i'm also having the same problem (Macbook pro late 2011). I have a back-up hard drive that will not connect to my usb either. I have done a PRAM & SMC reboot and neither worked. I read another post that said to erase the usb & retry connecting, but that's not really an option for me as this is the back-up of my entire disk + extra materials (I'm a medical student). I need the data off my hard drive urgently! It was working this morning and now it's not.
Mine does show up in disk utility, but I can't access anything on it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Camera not working on macbook air

I have a macbook air (bought this year), mavericks 10.9.4 and my camera isn't working. When I opened FaceTime, it did nothing and when I opened PhotoBooth, there was I sign for loading (but nothing happened) and the little green light besides the camera was blinking. I just tried resetting and logging with another username but nothing happened. What should I do ?

I tried everything on that list, I even reset the SMC but it's still not working. Also the camera isn't detected in the USB header (before and after reseting SMC)...

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

L550/010 USB port not working properly, non-standard USB ports

I wondering if anyone can shed some light on this strange problem I'm having with my laptop USB ports.
Background.
I have a USB device (CED-M2 USB Chronograph). The device comes with Windows 7 software to upload fps readings.
The CED has a calculator style keyboard - so you can lookup data without the laptop.
My L550 PSLWSA-01000Q, is running Windows 7 professional.
Problem.
When I connect the CED into the USB port the buttons on the CED no longer operate, As soon as the USB lead is disconnected the buttons work. Uploading the data doesn't work either. The buttons freeze occurs as soon as I plug into a powered USB port (even if user not logged into Windows and programs are not running).
I've installed the upload program onto two PC's at home (Vista Home and Windows 7 Home) and both PC's connect to the CED and upload fine. Furthermore, the CED push buttons works perfectly! So, this leads me to think that the hardware or signals from the laptop USB ports is not standard.
I've tried all three laptop ports (e-Sata/USB and normal USB ports), same problem.
Any ideas what could be causing this problem?

Hi Jerry
Firstly, thanks for repsonding.
All L550/010 USB ports appear to work well on other devices (Sierra Wirless card, HP optical mouse, HTC phone), doesn't matter which port (USB, Esata/USB) all works fine with these units.
I've tried connecting the Chrono via a USB 4 port expander - same problem, no comms, chrono buttons locks up. Connect to Home PC running Vista Home and Windows 7 Home and works fine 9 - just can't take those to the range.
The Chrono unit is self powered (9V Alkaline) and it's new, so USB supplied 5V is not a problem.
The buttons seize whenever the laptop is powered up. Also, if the chono unit is powered down, connecting the USB lead to the laptop turns it on (wakes up). This wake up functions on both home desktop PC's and laptop (good), however, with the laptop I can't power down the Chrono as the buttons don't work.
Whilst laptop connected, and rebooting the Laptop, the Chrono buttons will work just before the Press F2 for setup screen comes up - so could it be electrical.
I've downloaded the latest BIOS from Toshiba and Intel chipset too - no change.
I got the unit to connect once tonight - when I plugged my mouse in at the same time - USB configured for mouse, and whilst doing that the Chrono worked. Once mouse working, Chrono stopped. Can't repeat results.
