the reviews mention back up from Mac's does this item work as well with a PC? I want to transfer all my photography files to the G-Tech

I use it for my Macbook pro, as I selected Mac cable to connect with it, It works perfectly with me. I can transfer a lot of data in a short time. I know that this device is compatible with Mac and Windows but I prefer it with Mac because it has Time Machine Software to backup your data for double protection of data loss, this feature available only for Mac and supported to all Apple products. For further information contact their support team at www.g-technology.com. Thanks for contacting me and I hope this helped you. Regards.

Yes. It can be reformatted if not in the correct windows format. I only two formats I know are FAT-32 (Mac and pc) and Windows NT (Mac read and PC readwrite).

This is only meant for Mac. It backs up files using Time Machine. You'll have to use a different product for a PC.

I bought this too - mine works fine with my PC but I believe the disk a has an option to chose Apple or PC. I'm not sure though since it wasn't an issue for me. I'd suggest emailing the seller.

This camera works fine with my Mac (Mini running Leopard) to download pix into iPhoto. It just shows up as a drive like other digicams. The web cam function does NOT work on the Mac though.

I upgraded from a PC to a Mac last weekend, and was able to copy my iTunes library, pics, videos, and miscellaneous spreadsheets/word files onto this drive. Plugged it into my iMac and am able to access everything perfectly.You will only be copying from your PC to the drive, so the files will still remain on the PC also.

PC and Mac use different file systems. It will work on one or the other but not both at the same time.

Yes. I used the drive for photo backups while on a trip using a pc laptop and then transferred those photos to my iMac upon my return home. All worked well.

This can't be connected directly to your Mac. It is only accessible on the network via Ethernet or WiFi (a/b/g/n/ac). That said, it is pretty fast for what it is, but if you're looking for an external drive specifically for photo work, you might want something that connects directly via USB 3 or thunderbolt.

I have used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

I have shot videos and still photos using the archos 43 and using the mini usb cord transfered them to my main PC, I could have attached them as files and emailed them to myself too (multiple gmail accounts). The quality is not that great but still usable....I do not use cloud storage but my drive or amazon storage would have worked as well to sync all my devices

Hi Carolyn, no its not. It uses a different software called Content transfer for MAC Os and Media Go for Windows. - Ella

Help!! Is it possible to connect a Mac G5 and a Dell 9100 PC simultaneous to the Canon Pixma MP780? If so, what do I need?

The item I received worked terrible on the PC. I really don't know anything about its compatibility with a Mac.

On my computers (Macbook Air and iMac) this loads as a drive and I can backup or do anything else I can do regularly with any other type of drive with this unit, up to its capacity of 128GB. Note, though, that my experience is under MacOSX and not Windows. My sense is that it should work the same way with Windows but i have not tested it. Good luck.

Works with Mac & PC. Is it worth the purchase? No. Read my full review for details.

This item gets connected to a PC... I suggest you go to Ceton.com or google infinitTV and read about this product....The picture quality is dependant on your computer video card and processor. I don't know that this works for Mac, but do the research before you buy.

Jennifer, just don't buy it. Mine broke in less than 15 days, while transferring pics from a Mac to it. Not customer service at all. There are better ways to lose money, like lottery, for instance. Hope it helps... Regards, Marcio.

I had purchased the thunderbolt version for Mac which is an adapter that comes with it. Thunderbolt to my knowledge is only Mac. But USB 3.0 will work on a PC. see the included statement in the description "Install the downloadable HFS+ driver for PC and use the drive interchangeably between Mac computers and PC's without reformatting"
