will this work with Time Machine on my mac?

Although not a Mac guy, it should be ok. Since it is usb based, and the standards are the same, I would have to assume it would work. The write up for the specs on Amazon says it works on the Mac, so my guess is it's ok.

It only works with an IDE drive, it is just a case, you have to supply the drive. I had an old drive from a laptop, that no longer worked and I took the drive out and bought this case. I then turned the old IDE drive into an external drive. Hope that helped you out. My old laptop was a gateway, not an apple product.

Yeah it should work, but I'd skip it. PATA is outdated, I only bought one of these to clone a hard drive for my PowerBook from the early 2000s. That and finding a bare PATA drive that's big enough to fit all the contents of a modern Mac with Time Machine will be difficult. And if that's not enough, after 20 or so minutes of continuous writing, this will get pretty hot. I say buy a dedicated drive.

Laurarom; Whoever told you to use it Western Digital "My Book Studio" external hard drive for Time Machine gave you great advice. Your 2009 Mac will be a direct connect FireWire 800, but Apple discontinued that connection on later models, switching to Thunderbolt. When you upgrade to later Mac, you can buy an adapter for FireWire to Thunderbolt. Set up is easy, practically does it automatically. Buy it. You will love it. BTW, it is silent.

Thomas there is a new software version out 10.9.2 you may want to load if you are not aware of it but YES this Canvio will work great with that version. Just plug it in and it goes to work with Time Machine on your Mac. I love mine.

The box indicates it works with Windows 8. I am using it with Mac OX10.9 Mavericks as a time machine backup. It has worked fine since Dec 30th, 2013.

I don't have Mac, so I wouldn't know; but i just in plugged it in my laptop and started scanning, so maybe it'll work the same way with yours

I've been using it for Time Machine, so I didn't use the included software. Can't say for sure, but by the specs advertised by Seagate, it should.

PC compatible - Yes, I only use the Linux OS. I do not know about Mac or the AirPort Time Capsule.My guess is it would work fine because it works at the physical layer of the OSI model.If you can connect the Apple stuff with a physical wire (cat 5 cable) this will work.

Yes, I use it for that. I did use apple disc utility and partitioned mine for 1tb to be used specifically for time machine though. If you need all 4 for just backups it should work. That seems excessive though to me

Sincerely, I do not know. Because in my case I use this device only one or two time for month -when my Mac activate Time Machine option-, so I have not experience using everyday. For me works very good, is enough.

If you don't see the time machine icon when you are on windows, you may not be able to do it. I'd call an Apple store for assistance.

Not out of the box...the backup features the Time Capsule uses are built into the Mac OS X software. This link might help explain it better than I could:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229376

This is only meant for Mac. It backs up files using Time Machine. You'll have to use a different product for a PC.

Absolutely! I've used it for over a year with Time Machine. I never have to think about backing up. It's awesome!

I do not own a mac but it is well worth the 5 dollars to try considering it worked for my windows machine. Good luck!

Yes - I believe it is compatible with any operating system that runs time machine.
