Go to app folder. Select Utilities. Select Disk Utility. Select Tsst....... That will make this drive the active one, rather than Super Drive. Should make your nex external the active CD/DVD drive. Eject button works then. Should mount disk.

Kyle, I use this with my MacBook Air and always works flawless. Only thing I can recommend is try and contact the seller and ask for support .

Sorry, I can't help you. I had the same problem, returned the item with my cd in it. Bought Superdrive from Apple and have no problem.

I have excellent results with mine but I'm an MSDOS guy. About Mac, I know nothing. Have you talked to Mustek? Maybe there is a driver that will help. I had a problem with a RAID drive that seems to have been cured with a new driver.

I had the same problem with both of the ones that I bought. One of them doesn't even work as a thumb drive. I am not sure if this is a POS, or maybe they don't work with Mac?

"Just bought this and I can confirm it does NOT work with mac" probably a usb driver issue

Yes, I had the same problem with my Imac, my girls yanked the headphones out and broke the end off in the jack. I bought this and it works fine. You need to go to the preferences and set the audio out to this device, but so far it has worked fine.

I wish I could answer this one for you. It sound to me like your computer isn't recognizing the it as a disk and for some reason cannot open it. It could also be corrupt or broken. my advice is to To contact the company would you bought it through amazon and see if they can give you some advice.

I also have a Mac and had the same issue. Call the company and they will walk you though the installation process. It was quick and easy!

Almost sounds like a faulty drive. I would try plugging it into a different computer. If it still doesn't work you'll want to return it.

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

Unplug and replug the cable into the hard drive and the computer. There are many tiny connectors, and sometimes if the plug is even a little crooked it won't work. If that doesn't work, try it with another hard drive, to see if it's the adapter, or your drive. Also, if you are trying to use only one USB plug, use the one in the middle of the cord. The plug on the end is just for extra power (in case a single USB port doesn't have enough juice to power up the drive; I've never had to use it).

I just plug it in in my mac air and also in my iMac using the usb port and images just opened on the screen via iPhoto

The fix is a little kludgy... but it can be done. The trick is to look for a "400" to "800" dongle or hub. What you are trying to do is come out of the dongle or hub with a "FW 800" cable and into the Apple Thunderbolt adapter dongle (about $30). I have lots of FW 800 hard drives that I use to feed my new Apple PBRP... and it works just fine ;-{)

look it up on google. I have a Imac 2006 and it worked. but look it up first.

Make sure your external USB drive is formatted for DOS. If you're using a Mac and the USB drive is format Mac OS Extended, the record function wont work.

I use Mac and I didn't have a problem. There is an additional download of NTFS on the Seagate support sight that might help but I didn't need it. I plugged it in and didn't have to turn it on for my computer to recognize it. There is a factory reset button on the bottom which you might try. If the unit doesn't power on it even when it's disconnected, it may be bad from the factory.
