Can I run applications from this hard drive to my macbook?

Yes. Applications stored on the hard drive, connected by Firewire, can be run on your Macbook.

Yes! I use it to boot up all my laptops. It runs cooler than the internal drives and should last much longer. I'm still using a 500 gb I bought 6 years ago. Also, much more portable than a laptop.

There is no reason why this drive would not work on any Mac running OSX 10.4 or higher. There are some OSX applications on the drive but I've never used them (I just deleted them) so I don't know if they'll run on 10.10. You don't need them to use the drive on your Mac.

Yes and a very easy interface. Just load the software provided and you're ready to go. Make sure your Mac has a compatible OS.

I also have a mac - just use Parallels or VMWare to run windows and do it from there. Or could boot Windows with bootcamp...

Michael,Yes this drive will work in a hard drive enclosure to a Macbook Pro. The only thing you might have to do is change the formatting on the drive to an Apple compatible one.

You can actually run Windows (any flavor) on the mac using VirtualBox. Once you have that in place you can run any Windows application in your mac

pretty sure the answer is yes. the mimiting factor isn't necessarily the hardware, but snow leopard. Instructions for boot from a thumb drive are here:http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-mac-snow-leopard-usb-installer-disk/the HD should also work.

No. There IS, however, an external portable drive from WD that DOES work with the Mac. It's called My Passport for Mac and is available 500 GB to 2 TB. Just go to the WD web site. They offer other portable backup drives for the Mac.

You can by using either Parallels, VMware or Bootcamp. With Parallels and VMware, Windows applications can run alongside your Mac applications. With Bootcamp, you will have an actual dual booting laptop. I use VMware and occasionally Bootcamp. They both work great

Yes it's possible. I use a Macbook as well. You'll need an Android File Transfer app to do it.

This is not compatible with OS X but you can run it from a Windows partition.

Yes it will. It comes formatted as NTFS which is Windows only but it is very simple to reformat it to FAT32 on your Mac to make it work. Don't spend the extra money on the Mac specific drive. Search youtube for Reformatting a drive from NTFS to FAT32.

after further investigation you may need a easy transfer cable from mac to mac. usb cable is good for mac to external hard drive.

Well you probably should not have chosen this drive. It's not trivial to connect it to a Mac. This drive is primarily designed as an internal PC drive. Depending on the ports available on your Macbook, the best way to connect this drive is to get a drive enclosure that holds a SATA drive and has an external connector for firewire or USB. I think a newer Macbook has only thunderbolt and USB.

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 would say no since the latest drives I could find were for Power PC. It looks to be pretty dated drivers for the Mac.

Yes you can use it with a macbook. If it doesn't work by just plugging it in, you can format it to work with your mac.http://www.wikihow.com/Format-a-Hard-Drive-on-Mac-to-Work-on-Mac-and-PC
