With so many reviewers stating that this reader does NOT work on a MacBook Pro, why does Transcend state that it does, according to their website?

Cleo,One more thing is that USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 device should work just fine in a USB 2 port or even a USB 1 port for that matter.Regards,Charlie

I have a new Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.5 and I'm having problems with mine.

Works great on my 15" MacBook Pro Retina Display with OS X 10.9.4. Not sure why it wouldn't work with any reasonably recent version of OS X as it is just a USB 3.0 device.

Hi Cleo, The neighbor dropped off their Mac Book Pro and yes it did work just fine. I don't use Mac's but I was able to see the little blue indicator on the adapter and open photos on the SD card inserted into the adapter just fine. Maybe that's testament as to how easy Mac's are to use? I couldn't figure out how to find the OS version however and my neighbor had gone out. If you absolutely need to know the OS version I'll find out for you. Let me know.Regards,Charlie

Works on Mac just fine. Bet reviewers were trying to run it on a non usb 2.0 mac like one that's running panther or something...

Cleoo,You have to understand there are many people who do not know or understand how to use many computer devices. I can't answer the question for you because I don't run or have access to a MAC, sorry about that. My neighbor has one and I can try to see if they have time and test it on their computer and let you know. Regards,Charlie

Apple forum is full of people with MacBook Pros that are having problem with the built in card reader. My guess is that Apple has some sort of software problem that keeps it from recognizing SD cards on some models. My MacBook Pro built in reader has NEVER worked from day one and, I'm just guessing here, that the card reader whether internal or external is not being read because of the Apple software and not the card reader itself.

I'm using it on my Mac OS X, version 10.7.5. the MacBook Pro.Had the store manager of an Apple approved outlet install it. Price surely beats the one and only Apple monitor for $1K. I am very pleased with it and need to install it on my old Dell laptop.

No. IT doesn't Work good. Neither with a Modern mac book pro. Year 2012. I had to take IT of my laptop.

Good question. I just recently bought a MacBook Pro and honestly it didn't dawn on me to try it. I'll test it out and let you know.

No, it is quite false. I think the reason why they say it is incompatible is because at first the overscan is on and everything is zoomed in. This can be corrected by turning the overscan off or by adjusting the underscan on your MBP. It will work. In fact, I just plugged it into my 2011 MBP and it worked perfectly. Also, you have to remember that you can't compare this to a 27 inch iMac. Resolutions are entirely different.

Not on my thinkpad 201 or my macbook Pro. Haven't tried writing with it, but it works for reading with just one USB port.

On the box it doesn't indicate that it is compatible with macbook pro, only Windows.

No Transcend has only made ssd's for MacBook Pro/Air through early 2013 models

G. Powers,That is possible. Have you tried any other cards? I have not had any issues at all with this reader. If not try connecting the device directly to the computer, good luck my friend.

This does work with Apple Macbook Pro computers. As far as I know it works with any device that is bluetooth capable. If you device is not bluetooth capable there is an optional USB connector that the device connects with.

If the Mac is a MacBook Pro or a iMac (Late 2011 or newer) , then it will work because they are all SDXC compatible. MacBook's however are not compatible with SDXC. You can get USB3.0 SDXC readers for a Mac Pro or a USB 3.0 equipped Windows computer.

I tried it on an OS10 Mac desktop and couldn't get it to work. I then tried it on a PC Laptop and it worked beautifully and immediately. My Mac desktop is fairly old, so perhaps it would work on your MacBook Pro. Ask the company. I found them very responsive.

It does work on macbook pro. I don't have a PC but I believe you have to install a driver for it to properly function on a PC. I have had no problems with this and I am thinking one more for back up.

I don't own any Transcend cards but any sdhc card will be read by the unit. I personally have switched to the Lexar pop-up reader.

I haven't been able to get it to work with OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. It or the micro sd card doesn't show up on the desk top and I've set it up, , formatted the micro sd card, calibrated it, scanned and it doesn't seem to work worth a diddley. I not to happy about wasting $52 as it stands. Anybody else with a Mac have this problem?

As far I can tell, yes. Transcend JetDrive 720 is compatible with MacBook Pro models from Mid 2012, Late 2012, and Early 2013 (with Retina Display).

Yes! My main computer is a MacbookPro Retina (mid 2012), and they s reader works really well with it. I haven't measured speeds but never had an issue, transfer have always seemed fast.
