can this drive output from an iMac?

No its only a speaker selector not an amplifier. There are a lot of options for what you need though. Search ipod speaker or something similar.

Likely not without an additional preamp. This unit is designed for high wattage amplifiers, not line or headphone level sources. For your iMac, I might recommend a passive speaker selector designed for home studio recording.

It does not know what kind of input you are giving it it only make sure that if you have multiple pairs of speakers that you don't mess up you amp or speakers.

That's what I'm using it for to my 2007 MacBook. So as long as the iMac has the combo headphone/toslink jack then it should do the trick. I suggest making sure to get any dust/debris out of the combo jack first as dust will interrupt the signal.

so if i were to put a mess of files from a pc on this drive, i will be able to access them with my mac?

No, it doesn't. It won't work with any iMac that was originally built with an internal CD/DVD drive. Per Apple. Amazon should change their description so that potential customers don't fall into the same trap that we did. By the time we realized that for our 2010 iMacs, the drive was an anchor, it was too late to return it.

It should. Format it as a Mac OS X (Journaled) file system using Disk Utility, and you should be good to go.I only use it as a Time Machine backup HDD, so there's no troubles there.

I did not get a chance to test that since it was incompatible with my mac. However, it is able to accept usb drives. Anything Windows accepts will work on this speaker as everything is set up for that OS.

I use this strictly to do OSX backups using TimeMachine. This drive is formatted for use with Apple computers and is not formatted to be accessed by PCs. I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish, whether it is backing up data using backup tools or just trying to copy files to an external drive that either system can read. Regardless, this is not a good, cost effective, starting point for you. You would need to totally reformat the drive and consider if your PC supports USB 3 because this drive is built to support that higher transfer rate.

according to this web page (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP16), 2007 imac has a SATA drive. this dockstation is for sata drives. so, i think the answer is yes it will support it, as long as the drive itself is not corrupted. if it turns out the drive is corrupt, and the data is important to you, i'd recommend data savers LLC in Atlanta area.

You can. My drive was formatted NTFS via usb and i connect to my Mac via Firewire 800 with no problems.

YES! I have attached it to an iMac and to a macbook pro using the Audacity software. It works great with both.

Can't see why not, it is Mac compatible and most likely not OS dependent. Double check the tech specs. The only issue I've had with mine was some type of overheating or other issue, couldn't access the drive and it did not show up in Finder. Next day all was well and has been since.

Yes you can, just make sure to install drivers if your Mac don't have them installed.

I haven't tried it with an iMac but it certainly ought to work. I use it with my laptop.

I have an iMac running Snow Leopard and it works great. Highly recommend it. Sorry, no knowledge of functionality with any Windows operating system.

No. It requires external power for the drives and most other USB-powered devices. I ended up connecting my non-powered USB devices into the hub and those requiring power directly into my iMac. Fortunately, I had sufficient devices that didn't need power that it worked.

I am using this external drive on a PC; sorry I can't say if it will work with a Mac. KAY
