will this scanner work using a MacBook Pro

I have only used it with Windows. It comes with a specially adapted Arcsoft PhotoImpression 6 for Windows. If you can run your laptop in Windows mode I suppose you can use that software. Another option is to get the OVT Scanner Driver for Mac by searching for "ovt scanner x86 mac driver." The scanner tends to have a hot spot in the middle that leads to some wash out, but it does a pretty good job other than that. Of course it uses a usb to connect to the laptop.

No, not Apple compatible. Nor will it work with any version of Windows more recent than XP.

Yes. It appears on the mac like an SD card reader, and the scanner dumps its output to the card. It does not work with Preview, Image Capture, or other scanner software. But it doesn't need it; it handles the scanning to the card itself.

I am sure it will because you are using a USB connection. But, doesn't the MacBook Pro have an Ethernet jack? If so, you don't need this.

NO...but supposedly they say they're working on software for Apple/MACs... I run mine on a Toshiba Satellite laptop & it runs well. Only issue I noticed was when I transferred photos to the Apple - they did not look the same, so it seems whatever settings this scanner uses, they are particular to the computer/laptop used

Hi! Not sure if it will work on mac computer as i coupled it with windows 8. It works fine but theres no scanning mode. Only fax, copy and print.

I'm sorry I can't speak for Mac I am a PC user. The scanner works great BTW.

Yes, but the CD is only compatible with Windows. The Scanner is a plug and play device for both Window and Mac though.

Dear Beth, The scanner can scan document in Colour & Mono.It does compatible with Mac but the software we sent as a free gift cannot apply to Mac.The software is used to edit your scanned document.

To the best of my knowledge, yes. I use it on both a MacBook Pro and a Windows 7 machine and it works fine. Didn't require any additional drivers to be installed on either machine.

I tried it on an OS10 Mac desktop and couldn't get it to work. I then tried it on a PC Laptop and it worked beautifully and immediately. My Mac desktop is fairly old, so perhaps it would work on your MacBook Pro. Ask the company. I found them very responsive.

I have a MacBook PRO I use the S510 scanner with and I have had no problems at all. So yes, this scanner does indeed work with MAC. Hope this answer helps.

It will work on a MBP with express 34 slot, and drivers. A MacBook does not have the slot.

Yes, it'll work with a MacBook Pro. You can continue to use the mouse on your MacBook Pro.

It's a Bluetooth mouse, so it's subject to your Macbook's system specs. If it has Bluetooth, it will work. Otherwise, you'll have to get a Bluetooth dongle that's compatible with your laptop for it to work.

I am not an MacBook expert but, if it takes a SATA drive, I would think it would work with the MacBook Pro.

I am using it under Mac OS 10.8.2. I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work with an earlier version. According to the manufacturer it will work. Either way the newer operating systems are generally the ones that are more problematic. For vuescan to work you will still need to install the drivers for the scanner
