How to connect a Dell external CD/DVD player to a MacBook Air M4 using an external USB power hub? When i tried to connect the cd player to the thunderport on the macbook air M4 (using a USB-A to USB-C converter plug), the macbook would not recognize the cd player. I read the possible cause could be that the cd player was not receiving enough power from the port. Therefore, I purchased an external USB power hub (made by Atolla) which can connect to the macbook's thunderport (using the aforementioned USB-A to USB-C converter plug). The power hub has 4 USB-A female ports, allowing me to connect the cd player to one of its ports. The macbook readily recognized this configuration and the cd player works fine.

Does the MacMini accept an external DVD player using a USB connection? I have the DVD Player app up and showing; and an external DVD plugged in (which the paperwork states is compatible with Mac). It it is connected with the USB cord. The power light shows green when I hit it and the DVD is in. But on DVD Player (the app on MacMini), it shows no way to select the USB port or the external DVD player. I selected On My Mac and I checked the other folders that show up. What am I missing? Or will this not ever work?

Hello 55663,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with connecting a DVD Writer to your Mac. Have you tried connecting through another port? Does restarting the Mac help? This small step resolves a multitude of issues: Shut down or restart your Mac

"Restart your Mac

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > Restart.
If you don’t want app windows that are open to reopen when your Mac restarts, deselect “Reopen windows when logging back in.”"

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
