default, the latest Mac portables now ship sans an optical drive. There are also those who have older Mac portables which shipped with optical drives which have either broken down or the owner has elected to extend http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2294 the life of their beloved Mac portables by displacing the optical drive with an additional hard drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD) by adding a third party hard drive caddy. Notwithstanding which situation you are http://www.mac-forums.com/showthread.php?t=316775 in, Apple (obviously) encourages the purchase of Apple's own external USB SuperDrive either as an add-on option or replacement, respectively. As good as Apple USB SuperDrives are, most opt to purchase non-Apple external USB optical drives, initialization error since more often than not the price point makes more sense. Provided the third party USB optical drive is compatible with OS X, for most part there usually isn't much fuss or muss in the realm of burning CDRs or DVRs or reading data CDRs or DVRs - most times it truly is a plug and play affair. The trouble really only becomes apparent when a movie DVD is inserted into the USB dvd initialization error optical drive and an attempt is made to view the movie using the Apple DVD Player application. That's when users gawk when they see this: Note: this is not the signal to panic and go running back to the store you bought your third party USB optical drive at to scream at the vendor for claiming that it was "OS X compatible". Nine times out of ten, the USB optical drive is not at fault. OS X is. Apple Inc has fiendishly encoded a check into OS X to verify whether the attached USB optical drive is in fact an Apple USB SuperDrive. If not, ‘tell the user that DVD Player will not play nice' which translated in OS X speak is "A valid DVD drive could not be found [-70012]". There is a workaround but be fair warned that it is quite a geeky one. You will need to modify some code embedded into OS X's DVDPlayback framework; essentially replacing the words "internal" with "external". This sounds easy on the face of it, but here comes the geeky part - its not written in regular human English - its written in Hexadecimal programming language, or Hex for short.

I have Yosemite installed and running well. I had previously applied a hack to DVD Player that involved editing the framework file to change all "Internal" references to "External" when I removed my internal optical disk and replace it with a second HDD, but when I tried the same trick under Yosemite, I get an error when invoking DVD Player that it didn't find a suitable drive. It won't even initialize. So, anybody found a way to use external optical drives with DVD Player under Yosemite? - Jake Writing a quality post Reply With Quote 10-21-2014,02:03 PM #2 chscag View Profile View Forum Posts Member Since Jan 23, 2008 Location Keller, Texas Posts 49,579 Specs:Late 2013 27" iMac, iPad 3, iPhone 6s+, iPhone 6+, 3 iPods, Sierra Jake... I don't know if this is going to help, but the DVD player works with an external drive and Yosemite in my machine. However, my iMac (late 2013) has no optical drive and that might be the difference. Looks like you may have to find another hack to get it working with your MBP which does technically have a drive even though you removed it.
