Hi there, Chuck. We understand your inquiry about using the GP65NB60 with an iMac desktop. The LG 8× External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW Drive (Model GP65NB60) is designed for broad compatibility, including Apple macOS systems—so you can expect it to work seamlessly with your iMac. Compatibility & Setup • Plug-and-Play: Simply connect the drive to an available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port on your iMac. macOS should recognize it automatically as “LG DVD Writer” without needing additional drivers, starting with macOS 10.5 (Leopard) up through the latest versions. • Media Support: You can read and write CD-DA, CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, DVD+R DL, and DVD-RAM discs just as you would on a built-in SuperDrive. Troubleshooting Tip: If your iMac doesn’t list the drive in System Information > USB or you can’t burn or read discs, try these steps: Check USB Cable & Port: Ensure the included mini-USB cable is fully seated and try a different USB port on your iMac. Firmware & Updates: Open Apple menu > About This Mac > Software Update to install any pending macOS patches that include USB or optical-drive enhancements. Disk Utility Check: Launch Disk Utility to verify that the drive appears; if so, select the drive and click Mount or use First Aid to refresh its connection. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-2-0-double-layer-dvdrw-r-ram-cd-rw-drive-black/5581020.p?skuId=5581020 If you’d like personalized assistance—such as walking through these steps over chat or exploring advanced settings—please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to help.
