There is a Pagoplug for Mac included on the drive, which is their backup software.

All three Canvio external hard drives, including this one, came with NTI Backup Now EZ v3. Will only work on Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, and Windows 8. Just a note: I did not install the backup software that came with the drives. It has a poor reputation based on all the comments and reviews I found on the internet. I went ahead and purchased a full-blown version of NTI's backup software, as I had used it before on my previous PC. I would look online for backup software designed for the mac. http://mac-backup-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

I am not sure but since everyone I know uses Mac and this external drive and many are on latest version of Mac, I would HIGHLY suspect that it will work just fine. This drive, with Time Machine, totally ROCKS. It is the best investment you could make.

Yes this drive is compatible with a Mac. I plugged it in, opened up Disk Utility, formatted it (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to be exact) and it's working just peachy. I even partitioned it, about half for backups and the other half for other stuff.

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

Yes - the hard drive includes software that takes you through an automatic set up where you can partition the drive how ever you want. After that piont, on a Mac you can reformat and partition the drive however you like using Disc Doctor or similar - I am unfamiliar with p.c but I know this drive can be formatted to work with them.

It does not work on a Mac. They have a simiiar product "Classified secure flash drive" also by black box innovations that does work on a mac.

Yes the software is built in on a separate folder or drive if you have a Mac.

Hi John, it will works perfectly and if you want to make a backup using your Time Machine you only need to chance in your Utility Disk the status to -&gt; Mac OS Plus (registrer).

Yes, I run it connected to an iMac running Mac OS 10.9 as the backup for Time Machine. Works very well.

From what I've read on the clickfree.com website, they are Mac compatible, but I don't know if you need a separate external HD just for macs, and one just for PC's. Then again with Macs you've got Time Machine and Backup built-in, but if you're anything like me, if there is something like this product that I've been waiting to be released, if it will backup just one more file off my macs, I'll buy it in a heart beat! Check out their website, though, it is really informative and they have some products not available on Amazon, i.e. SSD credit card sized back up drives. Hope this helps. -John

I use a Mac mostly and I never back up to the cloud. Whenever I used a windows machine with it there was also no cloud backup.

It is a windows designed software, so if your Mac is running windows it will work.

It should work on Mac with no problems. My Mac detected it and showed up in the system preferences under the Energy Saver section. No additional software had to be installed.

We don't use any software and only use it as a dock. Had up to 6 TB drive work just fine on our Mac.

I have loaded the software on both of my Macs, I only use one at a time so there is no redudant issues.

If the question is whether the software on the drive is MAC compatible, the answer is NO. I have a Mac and I just use the device as a flash drive with my information in PDF files on the drive.

I pulled out the disc that came with the software and it doesn't say Mac version anywhere on it. I also went to their website and it only lists downloads for Windows based software.
