![]() ![]() Thanks for reading my tale of woe and thanks to Allan Jones for putting me on the right track regarding the USB power problem. As with most new laptops that do not have an optical drive, system devices does not show a dvd optical device. Windows 11 does not detect the USB DVD device. Luckily, I have more recent photos on iPad and iPhone, but have lost all - several hundred - pre-2014 photos.) WaltH said: I have a portable USB DVD Player (plug and play) that does not work with my new Lenovo Yoga Laptop running Windows 11. Given that I will want to keep up to date with OS X (or whatever comes after it!), I shall probably invest in a Mac Mini and use my Intel-powered iMac as a 21" display! (Last time I did not keep to the latest OS version, my iPhoto library became "damaged" - how, I have no idea! - and I still have not recovered from that, with Photo having 'lost' the library on the iMac and 5 partial-libraries for iPhoto, none of which is currently accessible. Nothing else has changed - other than the version of OS X - since last time the DVD writer worked (without problems), so I'm wondering if "Catalina" puts additional requirements on the power supply? (Although why it would affect the USB power is beyond my comprehension capacity!) I disconnected the two (physically small) SSDs which were also connected by USB and lo and behold, when I reconnected it, the DVD drive was accessible - for about 15 seconds! It is obviously a USB-power problem and I have now ordered a powered hub.
