USB dvd drive for macbook pro retina

I have recently bought a new MacBook pro and was looking for a good USB DVD drive. The reviews of apples's own super drive have not been very good. Any suggestions of alternate brands that are compatible would be much appreciated.

That's why I recently purchased the MacBook Pro with the built-in optical drive.
I've had good luck with the drive below on other Macs.  I see some people in airports with DVD drives duct taped to the bottom of their computers, the drive below may be a little bit to do that but perfectly okay when not traveling.
They also have a Blu-ray version of this drive is well.

  • Need Canon MP600 Driver for Macbook Pro Retina running OS10.9.1 Mavericks, Any Suggestions?

    The Canon website says the MP600 printer is not supported after OS10.7 but they do not offer any advice on alternatives.  I really need the basic print functions to print things such as web pages and documents and being able to use the scanner too would be nice. Other features I can live without. The printer is connected directly to the Macbook using USB.  Any suggestions on using drivers already loaded as standard on my Mac or generics that I can find online would be appreciated.

  • USB super drive for a MacPro retina. It recognizes CDs but not DVDs.

    I bought a new USB super drive for a MacPro retina. It recognizes CDs but not DVDs. I am in region 1 and my DVDs are all region 1. This is the second drive so the problem seems to be in the computer. The problem is the same with battery power or AC adaptor. I  downloaded Adobe flash before I bought the USD super drive. Could this be the problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    MBP refers to Macbook Pro
    Do the DVD spit out right away? (indicates a bad loader mech)
    OR do the DVD spit out after several seconds (indicates a dirty laser diode lens) ?

    Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display

    I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.

  • 24-inch Mid 2007 as external display for Macbook Pro Retina?

    I'm a video editor looking for a new laptop. Tough decisions, but these facts may help my decision...
    Can I use my 24-inch Mid 2007 as external display for Macbook Pro Retina?
    And if so, would the Macbook be able to access the external hard drives that are connected to the iMac? Or do the external hard drives have to be connected to the Macbook Retina?
    Retina's picture quality is just incredible but compared to Macbook Pro non-retina you sacrifice: disc drive, port options, customization, anti-glare screen. And its more expensive. Arghh

    I would use the retina as the primary screen for the canvas and viewer, while putting the browser and timeline on the iMac.
    Apple won't help here. Unfortunately, they leave they're old products in the dust and wouldn't waste time writing an article about connecting a macbook retina to an '07 iMac.
    Thank you for replying though Ralph. The answer has to be out there somewhere.

  • How to create Install OS X Yosemite for MacBook Pro Retina Early-2015

    HELP ME! Unable to Boot from Install OS X Yosemite USB
    I just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early-2015 and wish to install Windows 8.1. I created Windows Install USB using Boot Camp and Installing Windows. Unfortunately, I erase all SSD by accident.
    I created Install OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 USB as guided at https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201372 using my MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013.
    This USB works perfectly on my MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 but I am unable to boot from Yosemite 10.10.2 Install USB on my new MacBook Pro Retina Early-2015. The white stop sign appeared on black screen all the time. I am stuck here and can't reinstall OS X Yosemite on my new MacBook.
    I also can't use Recovery boot as the SSD had been erased.
    Please help to show me how to create OS X Install USB that can use with my MacBook Pro Retina 13" Early-2015

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION + COMMAND + R keys.
    It should result in a display with a revolving globe.
    If you follow the directions, it will connect you to the Apple servers and you will be able to install the original OSX that came with your MBP.
    You will need a solid Internet connection.
    Ciao.

  • HT201364 why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

    why i don't install mac os x maverick for macbook pro retina later 2013?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Late 2013 MacBook Pro already comes with OS X Mavericks. However, if you try to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you will get a message telling you that your MacBook Pro is not compatible, when it is.
    This is caused because the Late 2013 MacBook Pro is running a special OS X Mavericks version which is different than the version available in the Mac App Store. This makes that you get an error message when you try to download OS X Mavericks even when you are using it.
    Instead of downloading OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store, you can still download OS X Mavericks to reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 You will be able to download OS X Mavericks from the Mac App Store when your MacBook Pro uses the same version as all other Macs

  • Better Display Driver under Windows 8 than Windows 7 for MacBook Pro Retina?

    Anyone happen to know if the display support for a MacBook Pro Retina is better under Windows 8 than it is under Windows 7?
    Ideally, I would like to be able to run 2880x1800 at True Color as well as have the HDMI out fuction as a second display (maching the behaviour while booted under Max OS X 10.8).
    Under Windows 7, the highest resolution that supports True Color is 1600x1200.  This would be okay if that setting did not distort the picture (everything is slightly squeezed).  At 2880x1800, the highest color depth is High Color (16-bit) which is, well, not something one can actually use if doing graphics work.  On my 27" iMac, 2680x1600 supports True Color as expected.
    Also under Windows 7, the display connected via HDMI is not recognized.
    I've contected both Apple care support and Microsoft support about this, but Apple referred me to Microsoft and Microsoft referrred me back to Apple.
    Thanks,
    Warren
    P.S. Personally, I think it's rediculous to even attempt to do graphics work under Windows, but tell that to the Windwows based corporate world that I freelance in.

    Yes, there is a better display driver for the MacBook Pro Retina while running Windows 7 Pro.
    And, the answer is so obvious, that I feel a little silly having started this thread in the first place!
    The Windows 7 Professional NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M card need to be installed manually by downloading them from NVIDIA directly.
    If you need to do this on your MBPr Boot Camp volume, use this link:
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    Then, set the pop-up menus based on your MBPr. [Mine were as follows: GeForce; GeForce 600M Series (Notbooks); GeForce GT 650M; Windows 7 64-bit: English (US)]
    What tipped me off to this is that the CUDA drivers need to be downloaded manually on the Mac OS X side to take full advantage of raytracing in Adobe After Effects CS6 and CC.  As soon as I started to run that installer it dawned on me, "Hey, you probably need to install the drivers on the Boot Camp side as well."  And sure enough after doing so, I am able select all of the expected resolutions as well as run 2880 x 1800 at Millions of Colors (32-bit).
    I guess I'm showing my nearly three decades worth of being a Mac user where I'm accustomed to having about everything needed included with the OS.

  • How do I copy a dvd to my macbook pro retina

    I have a series of lectures on dvd that I would like to copy to my macbook pro retina, so I dont need the super drive when I am listening to them. I am not interested in burning them to a blank, just watching them without the disc.  Thanks

    you can get another computer with a CD slot and transfer the videos via iCloud or USB.
    Or..
    you can just buy a CD writer/reader machine for only 35 bucks. I bought one that was made by LG, and it works really well.
    And if you decide to buy the CD machine thing, make sure it's compatible for Mac.
