Will this unit work with my macbook pro's OS x 10.9.3? Can I get what I need without the included mini CD (won't work in my mac)?

This unit works with most "OS" and I think it will work with "MAC" it works with "Ubuntu" But..... You still need to use the "CD" and you might have to do some work to get it to work with drivers . I don't have a "MAC" so I couldn't tell you more on this never tried it on a "MAC". All I can say is it is a good unit and it does work with "Linux" MAC is "UNIX" same thing just a private version of "Linux". I hope this helps but I just cant give you a "YES"

I was able to use it on my mac, however, the you will need to download the drivers as the CD does not fit in the mac drive (it's too small).

Yes, I fetched the drivers off Mustek's support website and they work perfectly on OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8. I haven't tried 10.9 yet. Make sure you have BOTH the driver and the ImageAcquire. (free downloads)

Hello Linda, I have a 2TB version that works flawlessly with my 21" iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo version) running OS X 10.8.4 I see no reason for it to not work with your new MacBook.Best regards.

I can confirm that it works for my Mac. Mac Mini 2009, OSx 10.8. Plugged in, didn't work at first. Rebooted and then it worked. It doesn't seem to have a driver, but I tried with Photobooth and their MicroCapture software and they both seem to work.

I have it installed under Yosemite 10.10.3 on a 2009 Mac Pro. It has been working well so far with no additional drivers (or power). I tested the speeds using Black Magic with the same drive connected to the Mac's built-in USB 2.0 and then on the Inateck USB 3.0. The speed difference was quite dramatic under USB 3.0, although I have been using the external drive only for Time Machine backups, so it is not a big factor in real-world use.

Yes, this DVD unit will work with the Macbook provided that you use either a USB 2.0 or a USB 3.0 port depending on what USB ports are provided on the Macbook. It should not be a problem, enjoy your computing days!

Yes, you get a disk with drivers on it, and there are Mac OS drivers included: OSv10.6, OS X Lion, OS XMountain Lion v12.27. There ought to be one driver there that works for your MAC. If Mac is plug'n'play, you shouldn't have a problem!

I just recently purchased a MacBook pro with a DVD burner. I asked at the Apple Store about the newest MacBooks and was told they no longer make them with a built in DVD burner. You have to purchase that separately and connect using the USB port.

Yes. Worked for a while in Yosemite on my Mac mini, but not now. Will not work on brand new 13in Retina MacBook Pro. Was the description recently updated for this item to say "Not for mac?" I don't remember seeing that when I bought it.***UPDATE: Actually, it looks like it still will be recognized by the DVD Player App on my Mac mini, but not by the system or Make MKV.

It works through OS 10.9.1. I just downloaded 10.9.2 and haven't tried it yet.

Yes, this drive will work with Lion and Snow Leopard regardless of how it attaches to the computer (USB or Firewire). Chances are, you'll attach via USB and it will work fine. If you see the word "Studio" in name, it's formatted by default to work with the Mac right out of the box.

Just got one and it works great, but no, it doesn't show up in Mac OS X as a drive. I'm using 10.4.6 and can't see it in the finder, disk utility, or in /Volumes/. Bummer.

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.

According to the data on the box the answer is "YES", it will work on MAC OS X v10.6.8 or later (64-bit required) / MAC OS X v10.7.5 or later.

We use it with a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9. Can't confirm for any other Apple products or versions of Mac OS.
