The driver software supports both Mac and PC. It says it supports Mac OSX 32 and 64 bit.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER:Hi Kbritt,Excellent question! Yes, the adapter works on Mac OS X 10.6 and newer. I *really* recommend installing the newest drivers for this product -> http://plugable.com/drivers/prolific. For further information on what to expect please have a look at our blog article -> http://plugable.com/2011/07/12/installing-a-usb-serial-adapter-on-mac-os-x#VERIFY.Kind regards,PatricPlugable Technologies

Its just an adaptor. As long as you have usb ports it works. The only issue you might run into is if the micro SD card you put in it is formatted in such a way that the OS on your mac cant read it.

Don't really know since I am not a mac user. It works well with my Raspberry Pi. But you might take a look at this link: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1488621

The external plug will work with any standard external connector but I don't know if the MAC has a standard external connector.

No, this is an adapter for Mac computers that don't have an HDMI port. They only have a port called Mini Display port and this attaches it to an HDMI port to make it compatible. If you have a PC, search for a USB to HDMI adapter or something of the sort

Am using w a new Mac Pro, but requires an ACTIVE connector ($100). Assuming similar set up would work for laptop.

My iPad doesn't have a standard USB port, so this adapter will not work on mine. I purchased it specifically for my MacBook Air, that doesn't have an ethernet port, for those times when my thunderbolt port is in use for my larger secondary monitor.

Yes. You need an adaptor as the cord is VGA; however, I have been successfully connecting it to a Macbook Air with no difficulty.

This will work with any device that has an HDMI port. If your Mac doesn't have an HDMI, it won't work.

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

Like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini? Or an iMac? They all will work as long as you have the appropriate adapters.

I don't think so. I bought the adapter because I had an iMac with only USB2. I suspect that on a point to point basis (i.e. no intervening hub) that it will be difficult to tell the difference between the two technologies. Certainly, I doubt it would justify the extra expense.Anon,Andrew

Hi, I tried it with my sisters mac. Unfortunately there are no drivers to make it work

I am currently using this adapter on a PC running Mac OS X 10.8.3 and the adapter works perfectly with my Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse simultaneously. I haven't tried any other devices but I don't see why it would be a problem pairing them as well.

I could not find anything with the model numbers provided, but as long as your Mac uses a Mini DisplayPort and you're trying to connect it to a device with a VGA cable the connection will work.

I would expect it to work on the Mac, because it has a USB connection, but I can't say for sure, as I don't own a Mac.

It has video inputs for VGA, Digital, and Display port, so if you have native options on the mac book for these, then yes it will work. Otherwise you will need some adapter.
