Oh, I do apologize for the wrong information. Back then it looked like they were dropping the emu line completely, and even on the official forum Creative made it clear that they would put no more effort on the development of Mac drivers. But obviously they changed their mind along the line, and had made some progress. Looks like they have a driver work for Snow Leopard and Lion. But then Mavericks is around the corner now, and Creative still doesn't have a Mountain Lion driver, so I would think hard before purchasing this product at this moment.

I'm a PC user, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with a Mac Pro... It's generic, so any stock drivers should handle 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.

My Mac Powerbook Pro OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.3, does not recognize this card. I searched the SCB website and could find no drivers for any Mac OS for this card reader. I notice they have now edited the description so they no longer claim it works on Mac OS. This was a waste of money for me.

From what I understand this is the windows version. It didnt work in my Mac Pro 2,1 which is why I'm selling it. Sorry :/

I have it installed under Yosemite 10.10.3 on a 2009 Mac Pro. It has been working well so far with no additional drivers (or power). I tested the speeds using Black Magic with the same drive connected to the Mac's built-in USB 2.0 and then on the Inateck USB 3.0. The speed difference was quite dramatic under USB 3.0, although I have been using the external drive only for Time Machine backups, so it is not a big factor in real-world use.

In my experience it only works if you get the "Mac Edition". Some souces say that ANY version of this card will work its just the "non Mac" models won't show the apple "splash screen" but will still function AFTER the computer fully boots. I would seek the Mac edition to be on the safe side.

This card works fine under Yosemite. I've notified Inateck of the misinformation, but they STUPIDLY have not corrected this advertisement. I'm pulling my blog review of this product (even though it works perfectly) since they don't seem to want Yosemite customers.

I am using it on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with "image acquire" see other questions. It will run.

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

No, MAC Operating system and hardware only allow certain video cards, this is not one of them

Hi! Yes, this is the best AMD card out there. There is a similarly spec'd nVidia card available if you prefer that vendor but this card is practically plug and play. The drivers are already on your machine. I use this card for games in both OSX and Windows as well.

We're using them on Mac Pro's (non-trashcan) running either Leopard or Snow Leopard. But I've also had it run on others, I would bet money that you'll be fine, they've kept up with the drivers for each new OS as it comes out. (It is strange wording though)

Hi, I bought this for my 2009 mac. You need to be running at least mountain lion and preferably Mavericks as these later operating systems can see pc video cards such as this one. With pc video cards you don't get the boot up grey loading screen so it looks like the computer is broken, but it does load and works fine on my system and did do without any trouble at all. I hope this helps. I don't work for Amazon or the manufacturer, I just bought one.

It seems not. Only graphic cards with specific Apple firmware are compatible with Macs. The best source I have found for that matter is barefeats.com/york2.html.

I installed this device in my Mac Pro 1.1 and it works fine. It is much faster graphics processor than the original Nvidia that stopped working. And it was about the same price too.
