Will the zip drive operate on a MAC? And, does it come with iomega install software?

I have used one on my iMac for 9 years with no trouble. Plugged it in and started using it.

The Dealer said yes. But I never got it to work correctly. It was necesary to download the software even though it was indicated that the product shipped with software. I returned mine because I could not make it work to my satisfaction. NOTE: It is not the smae old 'Iomega' since Iomega has been acquired by Lenovo. The dealer that sent me mine (via Amazon) was a former Iomega Employee and even he complained about the new Lenovo association.

I haven't used it with a Mac, but the install guide and disk come with information and files for using it on a Mac.

This drive has a lot of computability problems, I would not try it on mac, most likely it will not work.

I love this portable hard drive. It does come with a USB cord. I have a PC. I am not sure about a Mac.

Awww, this is disappointing. This is the exact question I needed answered. I can't believe in two years, no one has answered it. I'm hoping someone might answer it soon. There's a 1 TB Iomega drive for $97 and a 1 TB LaCie drive for $150. I just want to know if the extra $53 for the LaCie drive is worth it.

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.

My use of this drive has been exclusively on the Mac. However, I did not use any of the back-up software or formatting provided on the drive. It was necessary to use the Mac disk utility to reformat the drive. Then it worked with Apple's Time Machine.

It works with the Mac OS right out of the box. It also can be reformatted via Disk Utility.

Yes, this drive will work with a Mac that does not have a FireWire port if you use Apple's Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.

If the question is whether the software on the drive is MAC compatible, the answer is NO. I have a Mac and I just use the device as a flash drive with my information in PDF files on the drive.

Yes, yosemite has know issues with external drives. I had to set mine up all over to get it working. Remember to back up!!!

It will work with any machine that supports removable USB storage. If you want universal compatibility across the board, I would recommend use of exFAT over FAT32 if you have 4GB+ filesizes on individual files.You think any of those "Formatted for Mac" drives are any different from their Windows counterparts? Absolutely NOT! They're simply overcharged for being formatted as HFS lol. Also by calling Windows "Windhoes," you tend to make others not want to take you seriously ;)

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.

I ignored it, did not install it at all. You can hook it up to your computer with a plain USB cable. It will then mount like a thumb drive, and you can pull your scans off for further enjoyment. All USB devices I have work effortlessly with my Mac just by plugging them in. The Utilities DVD, even if it has Mac software, tends to screw things up rather than support the application.
