Can I transfer from an Apple computer? I do not have NAS or Windows box. Will it transfer from USB external with exFAT to the internal drive?

Transferred mine from windows 7 computer....takes a long time....almost 2 days....not sure about apple

Yes...you use Sony software application on your desktop to load music. Always best to connect both to network for best speed and most reliable. Uploading is VERY slow though. The software also lets you choose a file where you music is stored and Sony player will check as often as you set it to keep the player current with music you download...

You connect the Sony HAP to your network and transfer the files over the network it will work with wireless or wired.

Sony has a proprietary music transfer program that you download from theis site. The z1 has to be connected to your network. It can be wireless but wired is much faster. It scans your PC for music files and transfers them to the internal drive or you can send them to an external drive plugged into the z1. Hope that helps

Yes you can, I am using an iMac. The HAPZ1ES comes with software for both Mac and windows.

The HAP Music transfer program which transfers audio files from your computer to the HAP-Z1 can be used with MAC computers using Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 (*)* Intel CPU models, 64 bit (10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9) and 32 bit (10.6, 10.7) are supported.You can't transfer from a USB drive--you need a computer connected to the unit via ethernet or wireless (wi-fi).

Yes, you can transfer from an Apple computer. I use a MaBook Pro and have transferred music files to the HAPZ1-ES.

It will transfer over your home network from the apple to the HAPZ. I have a mac and found it very easy. You do have to download the HAPZ transfer software

The Sony HAPZ1ES comes with an application (HAP Transfer) for the Apple Macintosh computer that makes transferring music files via your home computer network effortless. You need nothing other than the HAPZ1ES, your Macintosh, the application, and your home computer network.

I re-read your question. It sounds like you want to use it on BOTH a MAC and a PC from interchangeably. One to do this which I am familiar with is to format the drive to FAT32. This makes it readable and writable by both mac and windows os...however there are file size limitations with FAT32...but as long as your files are smaller than a couple GB you should be good. There are other solutions....but would be best if you conduct the research yourself.

Dee, there are multiple options to do this, I may need additional information to help you. If you just purchased a MacBook Pro and you attemping to transfer data from the Seagate drive from one Mac to another Mac, then attach your Seagate to your Mac and simply copy and paste whatever you wish to place on your Mac. If you are trying to migrate data from a PC to a Mac, then use a ethernet cable and Migration Assistant to transfer data from your PC to your MacBook. Migration Assistant is an app on your Mac. Assuming your Seagate is not formatted for Windows, then connect it to your Mac and copy and paste your data. Your question is very technical in-nature, as there multiple ways to transfer data to your Mac, including using Command R on your Mac and recovering your data as a Time Machine Back-up. Please tell me specifically about your configuration and I will be in a better position to help you.

I am looking for a back up drive and something I can use to transfer my Itunes and pics/videos from my PC to my Macbook. Is this the product I need to do both? Thanks for your help!

No. but one way that I've done this is to use an inexpensive external hard drive enclosure. You want to make sure that the one you buy will work with your drive. You just slip your hard drive into the enclosure and attach the usb cable from the enclosure to your computer. The drive will show up on your computer and then you can transfer files.

You should be able to access most files that have a common app (Mac and PC) - the challenge will be saving any updates.Typically PC formatted external drives are FAT32, which will convert to the MAC, but not able to be write enabled back.The exception will be music and photos, they should be available for iTunes and iPhoto imports.

I'm not sure about FAT32, but I was able to reformat mine to exFAT using Disk Utility on a Mac, and that allowed me to use the drive with both Macs and PCs. I'm fairly certain you could do the same for FAT32, by the same method. Good luck.

Can't say if it will run OK on the windows side, Format ExFAT to use on both OSes. Works well formatted as MacOS but it is a little finicky about sleeping. If you put the computer asleep, it will sometimes error as improperly ejected. DONT use it for your iTunes library. Somehow, iTunes corrupts it. Works great as a home for your downloads directory. I own a MBP Retina 15"

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

Apple no longe puts Optical Drives in any of their computers. I still use them, so I bought a USB 3.0 external BluRay R/W player to use with mine. Also note that the internal SSD boot drive is only 256GB and is intended only to hold your System and applications. You will probably need external Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 drives to hold your work. If you don't understand what I'm telling you, please go to the Apple site and do more research about these machines.

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

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

Well, I have a 250GB disk inside, formatted as exFAT. I use at home with my Win7 machine and at work with a MacBook (Mountain Lion) and both systems can read and write with not problems at all. If you are going to use only mac you can format it with Mac OS Extended, if you want both systems to use it then go for exFAT. Short answer: YES, it does support Mac.

If you want to transfer files between Mac and PC, you need a file system readable for both of them such as FAT32. The problem is it will limit file size on the hard drive to 4GB.

Everyone is wrong to a degree. OS X can READ NTFS, it can't write to it, at least not natively.FAT32 is not really suitable for backups, so I wouldn't do that.Your two options are to either partition off the drive to have an NTFS partition and an HFS+ partition (Windows and Mac respectively), or you could make it NTFS and then download MacFUSE and NTFS-3G (google it) which will give the Mac the ability to write to windows drives (Abiet, very very slowly).

I'm running windows 8 and the drive gives the option to format to exFat. This allows you to use the drive on both PC and MAC without the 4GB file max.
