I need to know if this drive is compatible with iBook G4?

The ATA-6 interface of the Toshiba is backwards compatible with the ATA-5 of the I-Book (80GB) OEM drive. Presuming the size and connector orientation are compatible, the Toshiba drive should work.

I honestly do not know if this drive is Mac compatible. It was such a waste of money and a piece of garbage it hardly even worked for PC. What I can tell you is this drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AJLPYS/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 IS Mac Compatible and works awesome on PC and Mac and Linux. Its a bit more money, but it really is worth it. Dont even bother with the one for your question, its not worth 1$.

It is mac compatible, yes. However, it is not optimized for macs. The unit comes with two USB connectors for your mac, which connects it to the drive. Even with both connectors plugged in, some macs will disconnect from the drive while you work. As you can imagine, this is absurdly annoying, but is not a problem unique to this particular drive. A lot of macs have the same problem with USB 3 bus powered drives. The speed difference isn't even that noticeable from usb 2.0, so if you can find one, just get a USB 2 drive and save yourself some grief.

The drive work fine in a Mac. I had to buy an adapter, because the one that ships with it won't fit the Mac case. I bought it from Other World Computing.

I have USB 3.0 on my iMac, so I don't know if the drive will work with your computer.

It is USB 2.0 standard compliant. It will take a SATA II/III or IDE drive. If you Mac has USB 2.0 standard ports, then, if your drive is SATA II/III or IDE, it will work.

The drive has a specific cable connection to the MacBook. It will not fit a PATA/IDE connector. I don't know the connections on the iMac, but I doubt it would connect.

I bought a chinese Superdrive knockoff, and it didnt work, so I spent the extra $$ and bought the Apple USB Superdrive here on Amazon (I had to install the NI bundle this way...sucks..) It works just fine.My advice is "what is another 30 or 40 bucks after spending a small fortune on this machine??" lol

If you need an IDE hard drive (the hind with about 40 pins on top) for a laptop, it should work fine. I have an old apple g4 11" iBook. It works great, no problems.

I don't have an Apple SuperDrive but a LG DVD burner works fine. Since this drive requires USB power to make it work, I would think the SuperDrive would work as well.

Yes I believe so should all be in the specs. I have had no trouble with the drive, Seems very reliable using it with my macbook retina.

If your Mac has USB (3.0 preferable; 2.0 works too, but is slower), then yes, it should be compatible. Remember you supply the HD, this case is just a holder. You will format the HD you provide via your Mac's OS.

The box says OS X 10.5 or later. I would suggest you go to the Western Digital website and see if they have any info. You might find a more compatible drive there.

I have used this with an iBook G4 and a Mac mini (Intel) in a classroom. It worked very well with both. I use it frequently and have had no problems.

sorry for the long delay getting back to you. In my case, actually my son's iMac, it was much less than compatible. The performance with DISK UTILITY backup was very poor (15 times worse than expected) and it was not recognizable as a boot device. So, I can't provide a positive endorsement for the Seagate and iMac.
