The adapter came with a paper that contains a URL to download a app for MAC so it won't let the external hard drive sleep.Does anyone have it?

If your drive(s) does not eject randomly, then you do not need this app. But some external drives (e.g. Western Digital's MyBook drives) do not respect the System Preferences settings, therefore you need this app to prevent random eject

If you're talking about any driver S/W you should be able to download it from the Macally web site. Call their tech support if you can't find it. Can't recollect if there was even a CD or driver, don't think so now that I think about it.

I believe that it is only USB through the adapter, I don't have a mac but I would think you could check the company's website to see if they support it.

Has anyone tried to connect an external HD to the USB port and saved their files?

Yes it does work. Apparently, all of my computers were Mac. But, I have to tell you that this item does not appear to be a high quality one, although it get the job done. Also, when you use the connector, if it feels too lose, it meants that you did not connect it properly. Just a tip! Happy hard drive upgrade!!

I now have both the SuperDrive and the dongle (which I have used only twice). Last night, I used the SuperDrive to add my first DVD with a digital copy to my MacBook Air. It worked like a charm, with the digital copy downloading from iTunes much faster than regular iTunes movie downloads. I have tried three cases for my MacBook Air, but I am not sure about any of them. Two are sleeves and I would really prefer the security of a shoulder strap.The iPod battery settlement is over. I will use my remaining coupon this month because it is near its expiration date.

I use it on my Macbook as a time machine drive. I just plugged it in and it backs my machine up without any manual steps. So it can be used as an external without using any of the software that may have been on the drive. I hope this helps

The drive came with a USB cable and a power adapter. I already had a WD 3TB HD for my mac. It has worked so well that I decided to get another one. Haven't had any problems with either.

No adapter is included, but one is not needed. This drive runs fine on the USB 3.0 ports on a new MacBook. I have mine plugged in to a Belkin USB 3.0 hub with it's own adapter, but have run it directly off my MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.

I don't have a MacBook (but I have used macs in the past and like the ability to just plug something in and have it work - but would encourage you to look elsewhere for a good external USB drive - the one I got was a POS!

Hello Indo, There are customers who use our adapter with Mac products. However, we do not offer tech support for Mac users with this product. There is a site where you can download the Mac driver. http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=502 Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

For me I found external hard disks worked, but I would get short term disconnects. I replaced my hub with a Anker hub and haven't looked back:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSLMTQ8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

Yes it had the power adapter. Issue I had was my external HD would not work. Would not recognize it. Thumb drive worked OK.

It did not work with my 4TB external hard drive. Wondering if it worked for you ?

You should probably find out if you have a USB 3.0 port on your machine or plan on getting a docking station in case your Macbook doesn't recognize this external drive. Personally, I have it working on a Toshiba laptop using W8.1 without any problems (read/write DVD single and dual layers + read/write Blu Rays) however it needs at least two USB ports to get enough power to function (I'm using 1 usb 3.0 port and 1 usb 2.0 port) so make sure you have enough available ports to power this.

There's also a photo of the adapter label that displays all of the information on it, Sirik. It's on the initial product page, with the other product photos. I was about to upload one myself, then I saw that a photo is already there... Good luck! It's a very reliable drive with great features!
