Yes, you should be just fine. Just dont format your usb, or else all of your data will be wiped. Your mac should be able to use the usb just as fine as windows would

as long as the flash drive is formatted on the windows7 first ...I would say you can do that with any flash drive ...AFAIK Mac supports all windows formatted disks or flash drives

Well you would have to format it to the mac format anyways, it takes seconds, drive is a beast!

No problem at all just plug the usb into your mac and browse files like you normally would

Yes you can. It would need to be reformatted in order to work with both systems. It's default format is NTFS (Windows friendly, not Mac OS). Using a Windows PC and possibly the Mac you can reformat it to exFAT which will allow read/write on both platforms.

I am no expert but my experience is that you can format any drive to be compatible with MAC and PC by using the correct format.If using some MAC formats, the PC cannot recognize it and using a PC format my mac can read but not write.NTFS will work fine with both MAC and PC i.e. you can read and write from either

I plugged mine into my Mac via the USB and was able to transfer the files with no trouble.

On the Mac, you can use Disk Utility to format this jump drive as a Mac OS USB drive or as a MS-DOS (FAT) formatted USB drive for Windows.

If you have a PC, you will generally format this drive using the NTFS file system. A Mac can only read NTFS formatted drives, but can not write to them.If you format this drive to FAT32, both PC and Mac will be able to read/write to it.*the limitations of FAT32 however, prevent a single file size being greater than 4Gb

Yes, but... As it comes, the drive is pre formatted as a single HFS+J partition for compatibility with Mac OSX operating systems. To use the drive with Windows operating systems you must: 1) Reformat the drive to a single NTFS partition; 2) restore the WD SmartWare software and disk image. For me that sounds complicated. You have to go to http://support.wdc.com and refer to Knowledge Base Answer ID 3865 for information about reformatting a Mac drive.

Once you plug in the USB cable your Mac should recognize the drive immediately and you can just use disk utilities to reformat the drive to Mac format. Remember if you reformat it to Mac format. A PC may not be able to read the contents of the drive

Can you borrow someone else's PC to copy the files over to a thumbdrive? either that or contact Macally and ask them which driver's you need.

It will not work on Win7 if it's been formatted to work Mac. I have a mac that I backed up mp3s and stuff on this drive. Can't get it off using my Win7 machine.

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.

Yes. Your Mac will ask how you want to format the drive. You choose the format that works best in your environment.

I have about 6 floppy disks with pictures, must of been developed that way. Can I use this drive with a Mac? I no longer own a PC.

Any USB drive can. With a proviso: They come from amazon and other stores preformatted as FAT32. This format is recognized by all modern OSes. However if you format it on your mac to the MAC OS format then windows will think it is blank and ask to reformat it.ON both the MAC and PC you can chose to format any USB drive as 'FAT32'. Bottom line. Yes. don't worry lol

You should be able to. It has a mini USB port; so if your Mac has an extra USB input, it should work. I use a PC with Windows 8.1 and I can see and download the pictures in Windows Explorer or any other picture software. Hope this helps!!
