Is anyone using this with a macpro? Can the firmware be updated from a macpro?

Both Windows and Mac computers should be able to update the Mobius firmware if it becomes necessary. The procedure you would follow is under the 'Resources' tab on the link below. You would download the appropriate RAID utility, click on its "Advanced Mode" tab to the left, then the chip icon with the arrow above it. There you will be able to see the current firmware version, and download another if necessary. I ran this utility successfully on my Mac mini 2012 running OSX 10.9 Mavericks, although I did not attempt to update the firmware, as it was already up-to-date. I see no reason why either the update utility or the Mobius wouldn't work on a Mac Pro. You didn't say what model Mac Pro you have, but the current version comes with 4 USB 3 ports. Apple also makes adapters to go from Thunderbolt to FireWire, another Mobius interface. As of Apr 2015 as I write this, the firmware version is 0.961, and is dated 2/19/14. So no update should be necessary on a new purchase. Hope that helps. https://oyendigital.com/hard-drives/store/3R5-EB3-M.html

I'm using it with a 2011 MacBook Pro. No problems encountered. Using it for straight file copies as well as time machine. I don;t know about firmware.

I use it with my Mac Pro, however I use my Logitech C920HD more often. The image is quality of the iSight is ok. It is really elegant, however compared with the quality of more modern webcams the iSight is pretty, the picture quality is ok.You will have to find a driver, it is available it just will take some searching on the Apple Website.

Yes, it works fine via Bluetooth. Just be sure that the PS210 is not connected to your iPhone or other device when you try to connect with the MacBookPro.

I personally do not know, I do not have a MacPro.Best answer is to go to StarTech.com and look for the model and see if they have drivers for Macs. Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you needed.

That sounds like a fantastic question to ask the folks at Apple who don't make it easy on folks to do this stuff. I no longer have a Mac pro... so can't help sorry.

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

Sorry, I've stayed with PowerPC. There it works fine. It may not be a bootable USB connection on your Mac Pro. First see if the card is physically compatible. If you can't use a PCI card in your Pro, you need to find another solution.

Thanks, Jaygyver. I'm still on OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), too, so it sounds like I should be up-to-date with my Java software. I'll revisit the Brother Mac firmware site and give the update a go.

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.

I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it works fine between my MBP and my Yamakasi 2560 x 1440 monitor with Display Port input. I haven't personally tried it with a MacPro, but I don't see why it would not work since we're dealing with the same port standards. Perhaps you can give it a try. If it doesn't work you can return it.

(Just to check the obvious), but have you tried moving the card to a different bay? Does the system have a lot of accessories or a high-power graphics card (enough that adding this card might overload the power supply -- if it's one of Apple's cards, you're a long way from this).I have used this card in a 2010 MacPro without trouble. Good Luck.

Works just fine on my 2006 Mac Pro tower. No issues. Not quite sure why it wouldn't work with yours.

Mac Pros tend to have problems with USB 3 devices. Suggest a good USB 3 expansion card like SIIG and an extension cord. Hubs seem to have lots of problems. Also repartition the drive as GUID and use HFS+ formatting.

Absolutely, the firmware more than likely is outdated and you will need to upload it from a windows based computer. That's the only real drawback to this product. Yongnuo has yet to develop the MAC compatible software needed to update the firmware. Otherwise this wireless trigger works like a champ. No problems with it, even when shooting in an environment where multiple shooter are firing off their own flashes.

Well, Philip, I'll provide my opinion. I suspect that the "F" refers to "Fully Buffered". As to whether they would work for your MacPro 1.1, I don't know. I would recommend contacting someone at an Apple Store or obtaining the specs for your motherboard within the MacPro. Check the existing memory within the MacPro and determine whether it is fully buffered. You can't mix fully buffered and non-buffered memory together, based on my research and experience.

I did. It works great. Mac Pro 3,1 is Mac Pro (early 2008), mine is a dual 2.8GHz quad core with 32GB of RAM.

Mac Pro? Then yes. The only part that does not work is during boot. Because it does not have a EFI Rom it only starts working once you get to the login screen. I haven't tried it but this could cause problems if you have encrypted your drive because I believe the password prompt would never show up. Other than that it works perfectly and is a great improvement to drive my 4k display - I can finally use mission control without it stuttering. During updates it can also look like nothing is happening for a while as the update progress is not displayed, just wait. Keep your old card around for new installs or if you run into issues where you need to see the boot process.
