Has anyone had problems using these with a Macbook Pro? When I insert them in the Macbook Pro, the DVD burner makes a grinding noise & ejects it.

I have used them since 2012 in both our iMacs and our MacBook Pro with absolutely no problems and will order again once the present supply is gone

Try another DVD brand or two. Sounds like your disc drive is having mechanical difficulties. Probably not specific to these Taiyo Yuden discs.

I just recently purchased a MacBook pro with a DVD burner. I asked at the Apple Store about the newest MacBooks and was told they no longer make them with a built in DVD burner. You have to purchase that separately and connect using the USB port.

It did for me. Just sometimes when u restart your computer it didn't recognize the drive. I had to unplug it then re plug it. But I have a Mac so. Maybe that's why??

I had the old version which was a USB 2 version which worked well but since I purchased a new computer with USB 3, that is how I use it. Just now I plugged it into my Macbook Pro which has USB 2 and it works beautifully. It should be noted that the first time I plugged it into my new Mac Pro, it did not work. It had me going till I decided to check to see I had plugged it in all the way. Hopefully you can get yours working properly and if not try to get it replaced with another. It will be worth it when working with large files. Good Luck

I bought this battery for my macbook pro and haven't had any problems =/ Many other reviews seem to indicate that folks were relatively pleased, so my guess would be that you got a bad battery =/ Sorry - good luck!

I have mine on a MacBook Pro 15" but I believe they work with all of the MB Pros.

I installed the card in my 2008 Mac Pro and have several external drives attached. Seems to work OK *except* that every time I wake my Mac from sleep, I get a warning that my external drives were not ejected properly. Anyone know how to fix this?

I wrote a review about how awful these are, how they fail to record when used with a DVD recorder used to record off of television. Esp. knowing that Sony's other DVD-Rs with the white-label top, intended for printing on top, are perfectly stable and work fine ALL the time. So, while I can't address your particular optical drive burner issue, I think we're dealing with BAD DVDs here that work on limited equipment--at best. The fact that a bunch of people here say they work well doesn't negate the fact that they simply don't work AT ALL on many other people's equipment.

I have both a Dual Core and i7 Macbook Pro's with the DVD drive and they worked without issue, Fits nice and snug and looks great. If you have the new metal angle connectors you might need to shave a little plastic off on the back. But its a quick fix for a great product

I used these on my iMac and they worked great. If this is the ram your Mac book pro calls for, then yes it's compatible. Hope that helps. Thanks,Melissa

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) and bought these last November. I thought they were great. Now (Sept2015) they are causeing issues and the repair people at Apple took them out. :( So I say don't buy them.
