Makes no sense, an Apple rep says Apple only, even with Bluetooth tablets+MP3 players.. players? Really?

Hi there, Good news! I just went in and checked. It will play your music via doc or USB. We love ours! They are awesome. Compact, good sound, good design. I can charge my iPad and iPhone: genius.

from what I can tell...no the usb only provides you with charging abilities. you can insert a sd card or use the 2 way head phones plug thingy tu play virtualky any mp3 or ipod. very low static and clear sound. I am still very hapoy and have since bought one for the boyfriend.

Not sure, I use mine purely for music, but I would say you can. Ask the guy at Apple store to be sure.

This device is designed to work with iPhones, iPods and iPads, not Macbooks. If you have a newer Macbook, the difference in sound wouldn't be worthwhile anyway. The main upgrade this provides for an iDevice is the amp. Newer Macbooks already have fairly decent internal DACs and amps. It's unlikely you would consider the sound from this an improvement over the direct output from a newer Macbook.

yes - woks well with any apple device - I run iTunes from my laptop and hoock up is problematic on occasion with start up shut down of an older pc with a bluetooth dongle - but it is rare and I am more than satisfied that my high end olse Sony amp can now play via anyones blue tooth device. You will love it!

Anything from Apple's product,such as Mac mini,commonly needed the product from Apple. Yes,the DDPOWER speaker will fixed into the usb hub and plug from headphone as designed for all musical devices. The design for all musical hubs and plugs from Mac mini,but its software for the speaker might not be recognized by usb from your Mac. This connection is including the software for Bluetooth and with short distance. The speaker is weak in sound,software and a short in electrical power as needed to be charging after few minutes. More good sounds,not from this cheap speaker,but from more expensive one with better investment. So,it does work with your Mac from any times within short distance,sound,loudness or software.

Dear Customer,The dock only works with Apple items but it has an auxiliary port for any device that has a headphone jack.

you would have to plug it in using an 1/8" plug (headphone size), which it has a jack in the back. It would not charge the unit only play the audio. You could also use a non-Apple product by connecting through bluetooth.

...I was lucky enough to get a peachtree Musicbox which is about as fine a 20 watts as you can find, with a great external DAC,....music source is an appletv/ itunes/ spotify...just outstanding....could use USB and a computer as a music source but there is no convenient place for me to place the computer...

No, but I'm very happy with it. I plug in some little i-music speakers and it's no problem at all. It does take up one USB port, but that's not a problem for me, either.

You'll have to use the USB port as this unit come's with the old plug, not the Thunderbolt Or you may add an Airport Express and wireless connect your music from any of the apple or other brand's gadgets or phones This equipment has pretty good sound, specially of you combine it with a sub-woofer, the frequency responses are excellent.

1. You'll need the adaptor from Apple. 2. No. 3. No. It sounds great though. I got a refurbished unit for $35 or something like that.

Touch base with M-Audio...but the thing is you shouldn't even need a driver. Macs automatically plug-n-play especially with GarageBand

You can use a creative sound blaster USB Sound card to adapt on you Mac. It will send the signal to the adapter.

Yes, certainly. It is a USB device and will use one of the USB ports. It is a DAC (Digital to Audio Converter) and at $20 provides MUCH better sound than the one Apple builds into its products. I had a problem with the fractious headphone jack on my MBPro and found this a perfect solution. I've moved to a MacMini and still use it rather than the headphone jack. The sound quality alone is worth the change.

It comes with a micro usb, but it should work fine with apple if you have your own cord.
