What optical drive models are compatible with MacBook Pro?

I need to buy an external DVD drive for my MacBook Pro. Are only certain models compatible? Suggestions would be great!

I recommend an Apple superdrive as it is certified by Apple.

There are many other ones that are a cheaper alternative however. This one from Amazon will work with a Mac. Look at the reviews

As for other external DVD drives, I'm sure they're compatible as well but it really depends.

  • What monitors are compatible with MacBook Pro 13"?

    Apart from Apple Cinema, what monitors are compatible with my new MacBook Pro 13"? I need something less expensive than an Apple Cinema monitor, but large enough to reduce my neck/eye strain.
    I understand that it has something to do with Thunderbolt.
    I am looking at a Benq 27 " LED monitor.

    Any monitor that you can adapt a mini-displayport to (for these applications mini-displayport is compatible with thunderbolt).  For example HDMI, VGA, single link DVI and dual link DVI.  With DVI you need the dual link if the monitor resolution is greater than 1920 x 1200.

  • Need external monitor for better visibility.  Which ones are compatible with  MacBook Pro?, Need external monitor for better visibility.  Which ones are compatible with  MacBook Pro?

    I need to set up a home office using my MacBook Pro.  Does anyone know of brands of flat-screen monitors that I can plug into my  laptop in order to enlarge documents for better visibiilty?  I have 2 perfectly good flat screen monitors that work with Windows but they have no drivers compatible with Apple products.
    Thanks.

    Apple has a 27" monitor with 2560 x 1440 resolution.  It has everything going for it but it has a price of $999 (ouch).  Check with OWC, they specialize in Apple peripherals, have decent prices and a good reputation.

  • Is the latest 280.26 nvidia driver compatible with MacBook Pro 6,2 model?

    Is the latest nvidia driver (280.26) compatible with MacBook Pro 6,2 model)? Boot Camp 4.0 comes with the 262.41 nvidia driver, but I'd like to upgrade to the latest 280.26. The official 280.26 driver page on the nvidia site says that GeForce GT 330M is compatible, but in the footnote is written this thing:
    Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release
    Do you think this is the case of MacBook Pro 6,2 model? Can I upgrade the driver without any problem?
    P.S.
    I've the nvidia geforce gt 330m 256 MB.

  • What printers are compatible with MacBook

    What printers are compatible with MacBook.

    Do you want to hook a printer up via a cable to your MacBook or print wirelessly? Do you want a printer or printer/scanner/fax all-in-one?
    In either case, I've used Canon printers for years, and found that they work well with macs and have good driver and software support for OS X through 10.7 Lion. I also like that Canon offers a number of models with individual color ink tanks, so you just replace the colors you use. Some printers use just two tanks with multiple colors, so when one is out, you toss the whole tank.  Although I haven't used them, some also like Brother printers.

  • External hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8

    external hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8, i need a hard drive that will work with 10.5.8 to back everything up before upgrading to 10.6. a hard drive that is compatable with 10.5.8 has been impossible to find, a hard drive that works with both opperating systems is what i am looking for, any information that can help is appreciated

    You can buy just about any USB2.0 hard drive and use it with your MacBook Pro.  Many older external drives come pre-partitioned and formatted FAT32 for use on Windows.  Your Mac can use that file system as well, but it has limitations on file sizes.  You can always re-partition your external drive and re-format it as HFS+ (MacOS Extended Journaled) then your old Mac OS version and your new one should both be able to access it just fine.  One thing to keep in mind is that many older OSes don't really handle drives larger than 2TB well, so you would probably want to try to keep your external drive to something smaller than 2TB...

    have a sony bravia 26M4000, this model are compatible with digital av adapter to use with ipad2

    Jose A.-
    What ports are on the Sony?  The digital adapter should work with an HDMI port.
    If the Sony does not have an HDMI port, there are also VGA, Composite and Component AV adapters available from Apple.
    There is some additional info at <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108>.
