Only to find out, like many other people, that Apple prevents the superdrive to be used with Mac models that originally came with a built-in superdrive. Long time ago, I bought an external Apple USB SuperDrive for my MacBook PRO 17' late 2010, in which I had replaced the built-in superdrive by a SSD to speed up the machine. For earlier Mac OSes (and more context), please refer to the original post. It describes how to apply a simple trick to make the MacBook Air SuperDrive work with any Mac. This is an updated version of an earlier post, adapted for Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and later.
