IOS Monterey does not recognize my SuperDrive - says it is not mounted but it is...

my fancy new iMac  and its connected


Apple USB SuperDrive


is causing me problems.


Latest IOS upgrades seem to ignore the external CD/DVD reader and

burner and claim that is it not mounted; however, when I insert a blank

CD, it does "wake up" and allows me to burn a CD using Apple Music.

Frustrating... has anyone found a fix?

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 12.1

flash was discontinued by adobe last year. if you have discs that require flash, they will never be playable in your new iMac. there is not and will not ever be flash for the new macs. you may want to look for an app that can convert those older discs to a format that will allow you to play them. i have seen an app being suggested here called VLC Media Player, but i don't personally use it so cannot say if it will work for that.
