MBA is short for MacBook Air. The Super Drive needs power to run it, the hub you are using is not providing it any power to operate.Thanks for your reply. Sorry, but I do not know what a MBA is. I bought a hub because nothing connected. It is attached to the usb outlet of this hub. No response whatsoever. Nor does it feed in the disc. Not shown in Finder.
MBA... I did not know that. The Superdrive connection does not fit the MBA. I use the hub with my printer, ancient iPhone etc. I guess that is a NO then? Thank you anyway. Best regards.
The hub runs off the Mac. So confusing when nothing seems to fit from my MacBook Pro to this Air. I think I will go visit the Apple Store and see if they have an adapter or something. I thank you for your advice. I need a new adapter for the router anyhow, which also does not fit. I just use wifi ---- always something.
You need this. It works with this.The Superdrive connection does not fit the MBA.
Yup. Or one of these. I happen to know these will work. Use them myself.You need this. It works with this.
Thanks. I will check it out.You need this. It works with this.
That is great. I will have a look at this• Thanks.Yup. Or one of these. I happen to know these will work. Use them myself.
Hi. Back again... I have been checking this out but cannot find one compatible with MBA M2 13" I found 15". Will it make a difference? Maybe the connection is different? Contacted Apple support. The guy was helpful, but had NO IDEA. It was suggested I try an "expert" at a store. I am surprised by this lack of knowledge, and the fact that there are so few ports unlike the Pro I had. Thanks-So your hub definitely does not have its own power supply. Sounds like you need an Ethernet to USB-C adapter as well.
It's all the same. I can confirm this one works w/ your MBA. My wife has the same MBA and she uses this adapter.I have been checking this out but cannot find one compatible with MBA M2 13" I found 15". Will it make a difference? Maybe the connection is different?

I bought it in 2013 with a new MacBook Pro. I will buy this adapter. Thanks for your advice.One thing of which to be aware: there are two versions of the Superdrive -- the original version (which came out in 2008 (or thereabouts) plus a later, updated version. It does look as though you do have the newer version. It should work with an adapter. With my M1 MBP I use Apple's USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, and that works just fine.
Thanks for the link. I have ordered it from Amazon today. The connection is the problem. I cross my fingers as I have returned two items as they did not fit the M2 Air. Thank you for your advice.

Yes, good idea. I expect Amazon will get fed up of me sending stuff back. I await my current order with my fingers crossed.OP:
If, after all your trials and tribulations, you STILL can't get the SuperDrive working, then I suggest you buy a 3rd-party (NOT Apple) USB DVD/CD drive and try that instead...
