I use this on a Late 2011 MBP. It lacks USB 3, but works flawlessly with current Mavericks.

Dear Dale, I have a MacBook Air and a Nikon DSLR. I got the PixelFlash USB compact flash card reader to make it easy to transfer files from my camera to my laptop without using the camera's USB cable. Now all I have to do is to remove the CF card and use the card reader on my laptop. The main reason I got it was to transfer files to someone else's computer without carrying the camera's USB cord around. So far, it has worked perfectly. It's a good buy, especially for the price and functionality. Best wishes, Ray Honolulu, Hawaii

Unless I am missing something, this CF card reader SHOULD work with ANY computer with a USB drive. It's a simple device that does NOT require any software or any recognition by the computer other than acknowledging that a device is plugged into one of its USB ports that needs to be powered. All the "brains" of the device (what little there are, mostly mechanics and electronic components) are inside the device itself. I bought one and it worked sweet for a couple of weeks and then stopped working. I think I just got a defective one. The company that sold it to me replaced it and there is a new one on the way. It solves a particular problem well as long as it works. Unless I am missing something, this CF card reader SHOULD work with ANY computer with a USB drive.

If the new MB Pro has a USB3 port it should work. I know it works on my older MB and my iMac which only has 2.0 capability.

It doesn't work with my 2012 MB Pro. It tries to read the card and I get a blinking light, but only once in a blue moon does it read the card, the majority of the time i am waiting and waiting.

It shows up just fine on my Mac Mini. You could always use a card reader as well (this is often faster anyway)

Buy a simple SD card reader (about $10.00) which allows you to use the Mac's USB port to transfer your pictures. No more silly cables...

SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 reader/writer supports CF cards up to at least 16GB (higher not tested yet). For SDHC support, check the 20-90 number on the back label of the SDDR-89: - SDHC support with 20-90-03066 and 20-90-03103 - No SDHC support with 20-90-00136, 20-90-00163, 20-90-03029 (these (older) readers were designed before the SDHC specification was released) For best performance, always make sure you have installed the latest firmware version. You can find this information at www.sandisk.com &gt; readers/accessories &gt; ImageMate readers &gt; 12-in-1 reader &gt; firmware upgrade

Mine, which is probably less than a year old has the USB 3.0 Micro-B port in back. It's been a really good card reader for me. The slots for the CF Card is *much* better and longer lasting than probably the last 3 crappy ones I've bought from other companies.

DB,I've been using the SanDisk ImageMate 12-in-1 card reader on both Windows and Mac machines for over two years now... works like a champ.John

I'm looking to purchase an airport card for a 1,1 mac pro as well...were you able to find one that works with your model?

Your Mac should have them already, my Mac Pro 1,1 did and so did my MacBook before I installed the card. Remember there is a separate card for wifi and Bluetooth.

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

I've pulled off photos and stuff from the reader to my MAC so I don't see why not. The program opens up a separate "icon" for the reader much like a flash drive. However, I have never tried it so I can't say for sure

Files are saved in either JPG or PDF format on a Micro SD memory card so all you wouild need would be a USB port on the MacBook and a common card reader ... or .. the device comes with a cable with a USB end that can be plugged directly into a USB socket on any computing device. I don't have not have ever used a MacBook so I don't know what kind of connectivity is available but it it doesn't have a slot for USB or an SD card I'd trade it in for a pound of bacon.

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.

This may not be what you are looking for, but...I leave the card in the box and connect then box directly to my MAC. Works fine.

As far as I know, mini displayPort and Thunderbolt are one way, that is they send video out from the MacBook Pro. They are not inputs. Most common way of importing video is via the firewire connection on the Macbook. They sell similar looking devices like this one that take rca inputs and convert them to firewire outputs.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the inquiry. Yes, you can read from and write to your cf card with this device. Kind Regards, PM

Haven't tested it with "all" the brands available but so far it's worked very well with all the cards I use (mostly Sandisc)I'd also recommend the dock that holds 4 of the readers - being able to download 4 cards at once is a real time saver for me. If you were to have any problems it would probably be with older, non-brand name CF cards which weren't always made to spec.
