Compact and convenient, the Apple USB SuperDrive connects to your MacBook Pro with Retina display, MacBook Air, or Mac mini with a single USB cable and fits easily into a travel bag. The Apple USB SuperDrive is designed exclusively for use with Mac computers that do not have a built-in optical drive. Use the USB-C port of this adapter for charging your Mac, not for data transfer or video. For example, you can connect one end of the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Cable or Apple USB-C Charge Cable to the USB-C port of this adapter, and connect the other end to an Apple USB-C Power Adapter. WindowsでApple『USB SuperDrive』を使う方法 – Apple純正品もドライバ入れればWinで使えるぞー 最終更新 2016年5月30日 キーワード： CD, DVD, USB, Windows, windows 10, windows 8.1, Windows7.
Compared to many How-To articles, this one is pretty simple, but it saved me from buying another USB DVD drive just for one little task.
The problem: I have both Macs and Windows PCs, and needed to install Microsoft Office from DVD media on an ultrabook laptop that had no internal optical drive.
The MacBook Air SuperDrive has unique firmware which prevents it from being properly recognized as a plug and play optical USB drive by Windows. Fortunately, Apple provides the drivers for running Windows on a Mac, as part of its BootCamp software.
If you download the latest release of BootCamp from Apple's support site, you will have a zip file wherein the path bootcampdriversApple contains the file 'AppleODDInstaller64.exe'.
Simply execute this file to install the Apple Optical Disk Driver for 64 bit Windows, and presto! You can then use the MacBook Air SuperDrive with your Windows PC.
Where is the microphone on my macbook pro. Finally, something I can use. Thanks this is helpful on many levels.
Long live BootCamp! Great post! Thanks for putting this up. https://bestzfile667.weebly.com/3d-route-builder-keygen-crack.html.
Makes you wonder why in the world they wouldn't just make it available.
Awesome, I just got this drive for a friend and it won't work on his older Mac, so I'll give him mine and use his.
Audio book 1 1 0 – convert ebooks to audiobooks. Awesome! Been to busy to figure out how to use it on another computer! Thanks for the write up!
Thank you for your comments everyone! I'm glad this was helpful to you!
That's a useful bit of info right there. Thanks for posting!
Very nice and I didn't know it wouldn't work. My wife has a Mac with one of these drives and I have an Ultrabook so this will come in handy.
I should be shocked that Apple would break a long standing standard like this without any apparent advantage, but this is Apple we're talking about.
For every one item that Apple has put up a dead end, they've both innovated and perfected dozens of things that have influences our world in general. They've succeeded in creating a very nice ecosystem for people who are prepared to pay the price of admission, and there is much more to come, as long as Apple remains attentive.
This is a much easier method. Connect the SuperDrive and a USB flash drive to a Mac. Copy the contents of the Office DVD to the flash drive. Then plug the flash drive into the ultrabook. Run the setup. The benefit of this method is not having to do anything special to get the SuperDrive to work with the ultrabook and the installation of Office will be faster.
Good Thinking! great job, and you get to save a few
Nice write up on repurposing. I'm guessing nobody would actually buy an Apple optical drive for Windows intentionally. At least it isn't a total loss if you're stuck with it and don't want to pay $30 for a new external.
Thanks for the guide. I gotta say, I've used a generic Samsung external DVD drive on an iMAC before and it works a treat. Image pro plus for mac.
