Then on the other Mac you want to access the DVD drive from (they must both be on the same network) in the finder on the left-hand side of a window (sidebar) under devices you should see “Remote Disk”, click on that to see the contents of the disk.

To get started check the box for DVD or CD Sharing: To share the DVD drive from one Mac to another is fairly straightforward and does not require you to grant access privileges, when another Mac attempts to access your DVD drive a pop up will show on screen requesting permission. Once you are in the Sharing preference pane it is worth making a note of the Computer Name and even changing this to something memorable that identifies the Mac, calling it Dave’s Mac when you have more than one Mac on your network won’t help you identify it. To access the Sharing preference pane, go to System Preferences > Sharing: Sharing the DVD drive on an iMac across your network can be very useful if you have another Mac without a disk drive such as the MacBook Air. As new formats emerge, update your media player software.The sharing preference pane in System Preferences allows you to easily share access to your Macs files, Screen, attached devices such as printers and DVDs and much more. Note: Depending on your operating system's built-in functionality, additional software may be required to encode/decode Blu-ray formats. Connect the drive to your computer, install the included software, and start using it. Our Data Storage devices are Plug-and-Play compliant, and do not require drivers. Other versions such as OEM, or for users who have misplaced their original software, may require third-party software for Blu-ray features. Retail versions of these drives include the required software in the box ( DO NOT LOSE). Note: For users with new machines (first time using the LG Optical Disc Drive on this computer), additional software is required for Blu-ray playback/burning. Please uninstall/reinstall the playback/burning software to correct this issue. There’s no separate power adapter, and it works whether your Mac is plugged in or running on battery power. It connects to your Mac with a single USB Type-A cable that’s built into the SuperDrive.

If experiencing issues related to DVD/Blu-ray playback or burning, your playback software may have been removed or currupted during the update from Windows < 10 to Windows 10. You’ll never have to worry about lost cables with the Apple USB SuperDrive. LG Optical Disc Drives have been tested with Windows 10 and continue to be recognized as Plug-and-Play devices (no drivers required).
