    I haven't used it for years and now I no longer have the software for this device. My iMac doesn't "see" the cd. What can I do to be able to use it for burning files?

  • User Non avatar #130191 Asia1 year ago

    To connect your iMac to the LG SP80NB80, simply plug the USB cable from the drive into an available USB port on your iMac. The drive should be automatically recognized by your iMac.
    Once connected, you can open Finder on your iMac, where the drive should appear under "Devices" in the sidebar. Simply insert a DVD/CD into the drive, and you’ll be ready to use it.

    My laptop no longer recognises my LG portable DVD writer. What must I do?

  • User Non avatar #127339 Asia1 year ago

    If your LG DVD Writer is unrecognized by your laptop, try unplugging the writer from its power source for 30 seconds, then plug it back in. Inspect the USB cable and port for any damage that may be causing problems with connectivity. Ensure that the USB isn't connected to an unrecognized port or USB Hub. We also recommend trying another port on the laptop to confirm if the cause is related to the port. If this issue persists, please get in touch with LG Support.
