How do I get my Mac to recognize an external dvd drive?
Okay, I'll try that. Thank you! Is there anything else I should try if that doesn't work?
You could also try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac. This can sometimes help with hardware recognition issues. To do this, shut down your Mac, then hold down the Shift + Control + Option keys along with the power button for 10 seconds. Release the keys and power on your Mac. See if the external DVD drive is recognized now.
