A:AnswerWhen you did the DVD recording was it marked off as “finalized?” I’ve had reading issues in the past when the program didn’t mark the DVD as finalized. If a DVD is finalized, it cannot be rewritten.
A:AnswerYes, this is a plug and play drive. The operating systems requirements are Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS X. ^Daphane
A:AnswerMost such devices cannot adequately power any external device. Having said that, if you can attach this LG CD/DVD reader/writer to an iOS-based device, and attach the iOS-based device to your iPad, then it should work, since the LG unit is compatible with most Apple and iOS-based devices.
A:AnswerThis LG CD/DVD reader/writer is iOS and Mac compatible. The only cable that comes with the LG is a micro-B to standard (type A) USB cable, connecting between the LG device (micro-B) and your computer or whatever other device you're using (type A), respectively. If your device does not have a standard USB connector, then you may purchase an adapter available at most retail stores and online. Per the first sentence, no additional software is required, though, of course, there may be exceptions depending on a number of factors. You should be able to connect the LG to any iOS device, and then connect the iOS device to your Apple/Mac-based device, assuming, of course, that there is a compatible connection slot available.
A:AnswerI connected my LG CD/DVD reader/writer to 2018 Kia and 2018 Toyota USB slots. Both cars' audio systems recognized that I had something plugged into the USB slot, and the LG device was able to open and close and spin, but, neither audio system would recognize the content (n.b., I used both personally- and professionally-recorded CDs and DVDs to no avail). The web says that the USB and similar ports are not powered enough to run many external devices.
