It worked for me. I transferred files from an old PC laptop to my MacBook but it took some effort to figure it out. I have since found an easier (and free) way to do this. Your Mac has a built in application called Migration Assistant. It can be found by clicking on the Finder icon, then click on Applications. You'll then go to Utilities and that's where you'll find Migration Assistant. Very easy to follow steps and it walks you right through them. You gotta love the Apple geniuses.

Unfortunately no. This cable was fantastic pre-OS X 10.6. Doesn't work with Lion and above.

I connect this to connect my MacBook 2008 via DVI cable to my HDTV and it works great! I don't see why it wouldn't work on a PC

I am using it with a PC. My Mac recognize the cable but I was unable to find a compatible driver and management software from one touch.

It actually is mac specific. The way to determine is via our model numbers and release period. I wouldn't test this on a PC. There are many other options out there that will be designed to work with your PC. It might work, but I wouldn't run the risk of trying.

I use it to transfer data back and forth between Mac and PC. Because it's FAT32, which both can read and write to.

Sounds like the PC doesn't have USB 2.0, so that would cripple USB speed.Most any "current" USB drive will work on both Mac and PC as the "standard" format is FAT -- and older Windows format that can be read and written "out of the box" by recent Mac OS X versions.

I believe that it is only USB through the adapter, I don't have a mac but I would think you could check the company's website to see if they support it.

I used it for high speed transfer form my MacBook Air to my iMac so don't see why it would not work for two MacBooks as long as they have the ports and you use migration to transfer

Yes it will work. As long as it's a 2.5" laptop style hard drive with IDE/ata. As for the OSX 10.9, as long as you format it using your Mac, then I see no reason that it wouldn't work!

I couldn't tell you, I don't use pc I'm a mac guy. I worked in my Power Mac, but I now have an iMac and it won't work w/ new OS. Sorry I couldn't help more but I had mine before USB 3.0 became a reality.

This will work on any Mac with a USB 2 port. It would not be needed if the Mac has a functional Ethernet RJ45 port.

I worked for me in OSX Lion. No idea if the driver will work in Mountain Lion. Ask Cable Matters.

Heather, I have both a PC and a MacBook Pro. It works the same for both. It starts working almost immediately after plugging in the USB.

Hello, this cable worked perfect. I needed to transfer information between my Mac's, I was using a FireWire 400 to 800, but I needed this adapter to go from FireWire 800 to thunderbolt. this works perfectly.

The item I received worked terrible on the PC. I really don't know anything about its compatibility with a Mac.

probably marisol.if you have a usb port in your computer then most likely yes it should work. my mac works perfect with this i dont know if it is windows compatible though. i would look more into it if i were you.
