I am not computer savvy so if you fit that category then my answer might be useful; if not then ignore everything I say :-). I also have Mac 10.8, but the original operating system was an older version - I purchased the update. The backup drive works great for me. I can't tell you anything about partitioning, and all the other tech specs. From a "novice" perspective it worked instantly with no problems - the computer recognized it right away and time machine did want it needed to do.

Hi, I actually when I bought it I did not check its Mac supported, whereas I wanted to use it on Windows and Linux.So I repartitioned it with NTFS to use on these OSes. But it had HSpace partition, so it is compatible with all Macs

This drive is compatible with Mac OSX 10.8, so I imagine there are no problems with somewhat earlier releases of OSX like what you have. I always do my own drive reformatting/partitioning since drives arrive from the factory in Apple Partition Map/APM partitioning (because it's compatible with the old PowerPC based Macs), but I prefer the GUID Partition table/GPT partitioning scheme because it's what's required to boot from an Intel-based Mac (all Macs for the last several years). All of these can be easily changed with the "Disk Utility" software that comes with every Mac. You can reformat, repartition, etc. In any case, even if you don't repartition or reformat it should work just fine with your Mac

I am running an older MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.5 and it should work for you as well. Great plug and play for running TimeMachine.

I would think so, but I have Mac OS X 10.8.2. It's a really basic program that the passport uses, so I'm sure it would be fine, but you may want to double check.

I'm running 10.8 as well, so I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think you'd have any problems. The drive comes with some software but none of it is required to use the drive. More interesting though is why you would want a USB 3.0 drive with a Mac running 10.5. Anything stock from that era doesn't have USB 3.0. So unless this is a Mac Pro that you've swapped a new USB controller card into, you can find cheaper 2.0 drives. Otherwise, spring for the $20 to upgrade your OS and then you won't have any worries.

Not 100% certain. I"m on OSX 10.7.5 and no problems. I don't think that there are any OS related restriction and 10.6.8 is recent enough that it should be ok. You might want to check the apple boards to see if anyone can answer for certain.

I do not know. It works with OS X 10.9.4, and I'm pretty sure it worked when I had 10.8 on there, but I can't remember much before that, OS-version-wise.
