Would this work for a Macbook Air? Does this come with a CD because I do not have an external disk drive

Comes with a CD but every google search will tell you the drivers are out of date for the current OS. My computer would not even recognize the adapter. Tried it on an iMac and Macbook.

Yes. My new Mac didn't even come with a disc drive. I downloaded everything from the website. Forewarned, it's a bit confusing as to what to download.

Yes! I mean, the little start-up disk doesnt run, but the drive it's self works if you just plug it in and put a CD into it. My Macbook has been treating it as if it were it's own CD drive.

Officially, it only works with Macs (iMac, Macbook Pro, and Macbook Air) that did not come with a built-in super drive. However, you can get it to work by following these instructions: http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2011/10/how-to-make-the-macbook-air-superdrive-work-with-any-mac/.

It came with software that made it compatible with my MacBook Air running OS X v. 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. The company emailed the software to me, though I think it may now be available on their website if it's not packaged with the device.

I got it to work with an older Mac Book Air and it worked fine. I would think it would work with any mac that has a USB port as I don't think it's version or OS dependent. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

This unit comes with a software installation Cd and is not compatible with apple computers (Mac). This unit only works with microsoft windows XP/Vista & windows 7.

No, it does not have an internal cd or dvd drive. However, you can buy an external drive with USB connection. The Apple Superdrive is about $75, a clone runs about $35, and both are stylistic matches.

to answer the question about Air Mac compatibility, I must first explain my purchase. I bought the drive because it was described as a LightScribe drive. It was not. So I never tried it on an Air Mac. Sorry ;-)

If USB is still available in the Windows platform, this will work. I've used it. You may need to find a driver for it, but it absolutely worked for me on my macbook air in the windows platform.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive. Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

I would give an unqualified yes; bought one for my little Macbook Air, use it as the backup drive and for all media, music, movies, and pictures. Works flawlessly, as advertised. 1Tb of storage, tiny package, the Tiny T.

You should probably find out if you have a USB 3.0 port on your machine or plan on getting a docking station in case your Macbook doesn't recognize this external drive. Personally, I have it working on a Toshiba laptop using W8.1 without any problems (read/write DVD single and dual layers + read/write Blu Rays) however it needs at least two USB ports to get enough power to function (I'm using 1 usb 3.0 port and 1 usb 2.0 port) so make sure you have enough available ports to power this.

Yes, it does. I use mine with a MacBook Air and it runs just fine with all features of the software available.

I use this on my MacBook Air all the time and it works perfectly. You don't need to install any drivers. Plug it in and 10 seconds later you can use it as an audio input and output device.
