Will this unit allow me to use my CDRom discs from my older Mac mini?
I've built up a library of graphic CDRom programs from my older Mac mini. Since my new Mac mini doesn't have a cd slot, will the USB SuperDrive allow me to use them.

does this have storage
like is it an external hard drive or just a disc drive? if so how many gigs?

Best Answer:it has no storage, as it is an optical drive used to burn media, like CDs and DVDs. you can backup your data on those, but you cannot save anything on the superdrive itself, as it is not a hard disk, it is used to burn media only (also to read media and install apps from there)

Apple Super Drive- Can it be mounted in any orientation such as vertical, upside down, or at an angle with no effect on performance or damage to CDs?
I am looking at mounting my super drive in a vertical position on my desk so it is up out of the way. I know some CD/DVD rom drives can not be mounted in a vertical position or used in a vertical position. Can the Super Drives be mounted in any orientation or are there restrictions to ensure proper performance.

I have a Verizon WiFi Router hooked to my TV. Will the Airport Extreme Router cause any problems with the Cable Router?
I have a Samsung HDTV (2009 Model) and use Verizon for Cable. So I have a Cable Router for my Mac and iPads and iPhones.
I'm confused about the compatability of both routers. Can they both be connected to my TV simultaneously and work independently? Will I need to be switching back and forth on my TV Screen between HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 Router Connections?- Asked by John R from Englewood
