  • QuestionWill it work with MacMini?

    Asked by Rossmir.

    • Answer Hi there, Rossmir. We understand your inquiry about using the LG AP70NS50 External DVD Drive with your Mac Mini. According to our specifications, this model supports Mac OS X along with various Windows versions, so it’s fully compatible with your Mac Mini’s operating system. Troubleshooting Step: To ensure seamless operation, first verify that your Mac Mini’s USB ports are supplying sufficient power and that you’re connecting the drive directly (or via a powered USB hub) rather than through an unpowered hub. If your Mac Mini only has USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports, use a reliable USB-A to USB-C adapter or cable to connect the AP70NS50’s USB 2.0 plug. Then, open System Information > USB on your Mac Mini to confirm the drive is recognized under “USB 2.0 Bus.” If you encounter any issues—like the drive not appearing in Finder or slow read speeds—please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be happy to guide you through driver checks, firmware updates, or alternative connection methods to get your drive working perfectly. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-ap70ns50-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs We appreciate your patience and look forward to helping you enjoy your AP70NS50 with your Mac Mini. —Renzo
