Mac OS X Lion Preview: Hey...if it works, why change it?
990754
I've been running Lion for a few days now. I don't find it worth even the $30 Apple is charging for it. It seems a determined attempt on behalf of Mr. Jobs to make everything, including Macs, look and function as an iPad. Enough already. If I want an iPad, I'll use an iPad. I'm trying to run a decent laptop here, and Lion's trying to dumb things down to a tablet level. My advice is to stick with Snow Leopard.

Does this also mean it works with an iMac (27" monitor) with Mac OS-X Lion?

I have Mavericks OS 10.9.4 and it works fine. I don't know how far back it goes. The box it came in was destroyed in our earthquake so I don't have the Mac specs handy, but I would guess it might go back as far as Snow Leopard, maybe earlier, but that is just a guess. Is it not supplied with the sales specs for the product? Sorry, I don't have more info handy at this time. I do have to say that I have moved on to Rosetta Stone. They have a terrific sale (50% and I bought the full program Levels I-V for about $250. Don't know if it's still on, but I received it just before the quake. Now that Our house is about restored, I'm getting ready to load it up.

Yes, I am running Mavericks (OS X 10.9 per my About This Mac). it runs fine without a driver update. It actually seems to run better under Mavericks and the new Safari than before.

If you found out an answer to this problem let me know. I am trying to use it on a windows, from a mac, and it wont even read it.

Based on my limited testing, OSX support appears to be solid, with one caveat: the system wants to treat the input device as a keyboard, so it throws up a dialog box complaining about how it doesn't recognize the key layout. Once you close that box, it works fine (the device just sends the "Prior" and "Next" keycodes, which appear to work fine with Keynote and Preview.

I do not know. It works with OS X 10.9.4, and I'm pretty sure it worked when I had 10.8 on there, but I can't remember much before that, OS-version-wise.

Not under OSX. Windows is probably completely different, due to different drivers.

I don't know, I'm still using Mountain Lion, but I would assume it would work for your Mac regardless of which operating system you use.

What type of mac do you have? All the other posts I have read say that you need all updated software and then it does work.

I just tried the same, and found that it actually does work. I had iMovie '08 running "in background" when I plugged in the card reader USB stick. iMovie popped up the import dialog without any additional action from my side. Works nicely. This is why I like the Mac :)

I second what Mickey said, to check the box to show mirroring options on the Menu Bar. When I first used the adapter, the TV screen mirrored my iMac desktop, then one day it was only the Desktop background image. I found that mirroring options box was unchecked. Checked it again and all was well.- I'm a Mickey, too.

I have loaded the software on both of my Macs, I only use one at a time so there is no redudant issues.

Greetings: I installed on a Mac Pro (1,1) with Lion 10.7.5. It fried my computer. I would leave it alone, especially after I spoke with a Mac repair type in Oklahoma City. Sorry.

Bought mine at Best Buy two weeks ago and it also had Snow Leopard. Updated all software and contacted apple for the free upgrade that they all are eligible for. They sent me a code a day later and was able to download off the app store in 3 hrs and another half to install. It's up and running now with Lion.A different keyboard would be nice but its a great machine, why wait?

Yup, that's what I'm running, ver. 10.6.8... on a duel core iMac. Hope that helps.
