[Published Thursday, June 28th]
Apple has released SuperDrive Update 2.1, improves readability of certain CD media for the following models:
- MacBook Pro Core Duo (15 -inch 1.83GHz, 2.0GHz, or 2.16GHz)
- MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo (15 -inch 2.16GHz or 2.33GHz)
- MacBook Core Duo (13 -inch 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz)
- MacBook Core 2 Duo (13 -inch 1.83GHz or 2.0GHz)
SuperDrive Update 2.1 requires Mac OS X 10.4.4 and is available as a 12MB standalone download.
Per Apple's instruction: "The updater application will be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder. Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the update process."

Today, along comes this firmware fix. It applied itself without problems, and now that CD plays without stutters or freezes. (As do other ones which used to give me a problem).
I'd say this is a very welcome and successful fix.
While the window is up that says, "No updatable devices found," go to the dock, select Superdrive update 2.1, hold down the click until popup that says "Keep in Dock, Open at Login, etc." appears. Uncheck "Open at login."
To eliminate the updater program, go to Applications/Utilities and delete Superdrive update 2.1.app
I had the same problem. Go to your "system preferences" and click on "accounts."
Select your account and then the "login items" tab. Select the Superdrive application from the list and hit the "-" button to remove it from the start-up list.
The next time you login that program won't run.
Now my only problem is that CD-RW are showing up as CD-R to the computer. Ugh.
I am having the same problem - keeps saying that there is no device to update each time i boot up - help! Anyone know what to do to stop this?
