The ad said that 10.6.8 is supported. That was the reason I bought it. The WD Sync for Mac software for use with the single drive My Cloud devices have never supported OS X 10.6.8. The release notes for WD Sync for Mac indicate that Mac OS X 10.9 and higher were supported in the initial version (v2.0.0.55) that was released on 9/24/2015.
How to make the MacBook Air SuperDrive work with any Mac Note: for Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan and later, instead. (Edited/clarified Nov. 2013, Jan 2015 and June 2016) The story is this – a while ago I replaced the built-in optical disk drive in my MacBook Pro 17″ by an (in the meantime, there are also ) which allows to connect a second harddrive, or in my case, a SSD.
To be able to continue using the SuperDrive (Apple’s name for the CD/DVD read/write drive), the Optibay came with an external USB case which worked fine, but was ugly. And I didn’t want to carry that around, so I left it at home and bought a shiny new (by 2012, Apple USB SuperDrive) for the office. It just didn’t occur to me that this thing could possibly not just work with any Mac, so I didn’t even ask before buying. I knew that many third-party USB optical drives work fine, so I just assumed that would be the same for the Apple drive.
But I had to learn otherwise. This drive only works for Macs which, in their original form, do not have an optical drive. At this point, I started to search the net, finding hints, disassembling Mac OS X USB drivers and finally patching code in a hex editor which was the first, but ugly, solution to make the superdrive work, and gave me the information to eventually find the second, much nicer solution presented below. For those interested in the nitfy details of disassembling and hex code patching, the first approach is still.
For actually making the SuperDrive work in clean and easy way, just read on (but note: while it has proven to be a quite safe method, still you’ll be doing this entirely on your own risk! Using sudo and editing system files incorrectly can damage things severely!). Apparently, Apple engineers had the need to test the superdrive with non-MacBookAir computers themselves, so the driver already has an option built-in to work on officially unsupported machines! All you need to do is enable that option, as follows: The driver recognizes a boot parameter named “mbasd” (Mac Book Air Super Drive), which sets a flag in the driver which both overrides the check for the MBA and also tweaks something related to USB power management (the superdrive probably needs more power than regular USB allows). Eric says Hi, and thanks for your assistance. I have no idea of what to do other than try to follow the instructions you gave above, so please bear with me and explain any step extremely simply. I have an i-mac running 10.6.8 but /library/Preferences don’t list /SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist among them.
When I put the string into a browser, the screen declares: “The XML file document does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown”. The line kernel Flags is shown among the 8 lines.
What should I do, please? Csk says This was a lifesaver for many of us up through Sierra–thanks! But I just found that when I updated to High Sierra, Apple not only replaced the file with its original version (no surprise there), but now this fix no longer works as “onur” pointed out above.
Please Help For Wd Sync Driver For Mac 10.6.8
Apple has apparently done something else to the OS to disable these drives. I hope that someone else out there will find another hack. (I know the goal is to force us to buy a new computer, but my enthusiasm for that is at an all-time low just now.). Onur says YESSSSS it works now!

Thank you to everyone and especially to Luz!! First, when I tried to enter sudo nvram boot as listed above to the terminal window, I got the following error: nvram: Error setting variable – ‘boot-args’: (iokit/common) general error I think, the reason of getting this error was Not having any “mbasd=1” arguments in my Boot.plist (because when I saw it didnt work I was turned it to the normal) So I did whole process again; (1. Booted recovery mode and disabled csrutil -csrutil disable command in the terminal- and reboot 2.booted normally and follow the descriptions listed above by Luz -adding “mbasd=1” between the strings- and reboot) and tried the “nvram” method again. And Voila, it worked!!
