Does this product actually include Lightscribe compatible with a Macbook Pro laptop?

Download the Lightscribe software (freeware) and it should work fine, as it is Mac compatible. Works well with my iMac OS X Maverick.

I got this to work with my MBP once with "Lightscribe Simple Labeler" software. From that point on, The Pawtec would not recognize ANY media inserted. Tried it on my PC and it was working 25% of the time. Overall, it wasted about 25-30 lightscribe discs with incomplete or very faint burns. HOWEVER, in answer to question: you will need to source Lightscribe software from somewhere online as it's not standard Mac software.

works on my mac mini, so Id say yes it works with OS X Yosemite. (you have to find the software and download it). its just the burner you get. and it does everything I need and does it well.

You have to download the software online from other sources, such as downloads.com, cnet etc. yes it's is comparable with Mac .

I have no real idea, but judging by some things in the documentation, it was before 2011. I removed the original disc drive from the computer and swapped the LightScribe drive into the computer and it functions as it should.

Yes. Please see my initial review from 4/2013. I use a Mac so I do not need a power cord just USB. It does come with a power cord and USB to connect to a PC. I have mentioned several times that this only prints on CD/DVD disks in a grey color. I get images in color and then put the copy of. the image on a DVD disk lables from Avery using my printer. If I find a spectacular image I will use drive with Lightscribe in grey

It comes with a light scribe software of some kind. I'm not sure what version because I don't use it. However, I'm sure it'll will work with windows 7 and 8. I have a Mac and needed to install parallels to enable the lightscribe feature. The only thing you need a computer for, with this machine, is for creating lightscribe menus. If you're simply duplicating DVDs, it works on its own.

You must use lightscribe disk with lightscribe software. Order online hard to find in stores.

Yes, it does Lightscribe. All you need is the software...Wavey Davey - 6-9-2014

I have never used Lightscribe, but I think that it requires a special coating on the disc. Taiyo Yuden has such a disc type, usually slightly more expensive.

You have to install the Lightscribe Software separately. The Software is no longer supported so you have to search for it on the Internet. I got a copy from http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/#windowsinstall. You need to install "Lightscribe System Software". In addition one of either "Lightscribe Simple Labeler" or "Lightscribe Template Labeler".

Thank you for your interest in our products. This is not a Lightscribe compatible system.

I think for the price it's worth the risk of it not working to your expectations. It met mine just fine. I see no reason why it would not be compatible with your system as long as you have SATA connections, and burning speed would be affected by your system's ability. If you want lightscribe search for it, but be prepared to pay the price.

Yes it does come with Lightscribe which works. I have burned a few DVDs and they came out quite nice. You will need the following information: After loading it into your computer, Click on Start. Scroll down to "NTI Media Maker 8". Click on that and then scroll down to "Jewel Case Maker". Click on "OK" re Regular, provided you are using a standard DVD. Then click on "Help Topics" under "Help". There you will find how to do what. Or, you can do as I did initially which was played around with "File", Edit", etc.

I do not use it for lightscribe. From all I can see from research, a DVD burner has to be Lightscribe Enabled to do that and those run in the 45-50 dollar and higher area. This is a simple DVD Reader Burner that does the job, when a portable one is required. I do have Lightscribe duplication equipment and it is expressly designed for Lightscribe work, when combined with the correct software, so I am familiar with Lightscribe. Hope that helps.......SHALOM......Brother Randahl

At this time, "Lightscribe Software" will not work with Windows 8. Hopefully, HP will correct this in the future.

Yes you can use this lightscribe drive with any pc with usb ports.....you should know that it can take up to 20 minutes to print a label on your lightscribe CD......a faster option could be an internal lightscribe drive...

Yes it does. My Mac book pro worked with it. It should not really matter whether it is a p.c. Or Mac.

I don't know; I haven't tested it. I just know it doesn't work on a mac book pro
