My wife's mac isn't cooperating with her new Clip. Any special steps you took to get it to work? I'm a PC guy, so I'm no help figuring this stuff out. Her IT guy at work - Mac environment - suggested an iPod... of course.

I have a more recent Sansa Clip, and it does work. The box says Macs are supported, but not with their software. They do not play MP4 files, only MP3.

Well, I'm 5 months now with two SansaClip players. Dragging mp3 files into both of them from two different Macs, two versions of the operating system: 10.3 and 10.4. It's has worked for me, no problems. One player was left out in hard rain for two nights and I couldn't believe, it still works. I've loaded and unloaded songs on these players numerous times. Never did anything special, just drag-n-drop mp3s into the music folder. Sorry it hasn't worked so easily for others.

The Sansa Clip is compatible with Macs, but it depends on the music file format. If your music is all MP3s then it will play just fine, but if your music is mostly in AAC format, like mine is, then it is much more of a pain to use this player with a Mac because you need to convert the files to MP3's first.

You cannot just drag and drop, it will rename your files and not recognize the album or artist name on many tracks, these tracks will go into the folder unknown and will not play.

Yes, you can load music onto the Sansa Clip from a Mac. The software Sandisk supplies does not work on Mac, so updating firmware or reformatting might get tricky for us on Macs. But even without software, the Clip mounts on the Mac desktop fine. Drag-an-drop MP3 files into the music folder on the Clip and song titles show and they play correctly. Great player for the money.

According to the company, their product is both Mac and PC compatible, but bear in mind that it came out long before Windows 8. Check their site to find out if they have updated the installation software to accommodate the latest Windows OS.

Not sure why people answer question they no X about! The packaging clearly states that it works with both Mac and PC!

I have always had MACs, so I know it's compatable with all MAC systems. But I don't know about other computers. I imagine any Staples would have that info...

I am no expert. However, having and being familiar with it, I would venture to respond That I could see no apparent reason why it would not work on mac as well as PC. I would think it to be fairly universal.

It is not compatible. I checked the back of the box and it specifies Windows, and says nothing about Mac.

It says it can be used with pc or Mac. I have both a pc and a Mac. I first synched and saved things from my Mac. It worked fine. Then I tried to synch and save things on the pc but it wouldn't work. There are no directions that come with it so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the device only works with the first type (pc/Mac) of computer you use it with. It was simple to use though. Just plug it in like a thumb drive and it loaded the driver and saved. I really wanted to be able to use it on all of my devices (pc/Mac) interchangeably but am stuck with it not doing that. Perhaps this review helps you. It says it can be used with pc or Mac.

I am not sure about macbook compatibility. There is a disc with Logitech software that comes with the mouse. You install it to get enhanced features - like changing the button assignments, etc.. In the directions it says simply to double-click the "Logitech" logo in the Macintosh system. I suppose this refers to Mac computers but maybe it could refer to to Macbooks as well. I am just not sure and don't want to give you any false information. Maybe you could contact Logitech and ask them if it is compatible with a Macbook. I am sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer.

I am strictly a PC man, but it should easily be plug and play, it worked fine for me. Form what I understand newer OS' for MAC's should pick it up.

It works very well with my PC. I have not tried it on a mac. Doesn't the online description have that info?

I could not make it compatible with my Mac. I heard there was software online to download for the Mac but could not find it. I would not buy it if you have a Mac.

Yes it is compatible with MAC OS; at least it says so in the product description. I am using it with a Samsung Laptop and it works very well&gt; note when I received it the instructions say that the unit doers not operate as well if plug into hub. What the product description does not tell you is that it requires two usb plugs to operate; I plug mine into a hub and it works fine. Bueno Suerte

Hi SGC,As S. Endres has said, the keyboard should be compatible with a mac. I'm not 100% percent sure as I have a Windows laptop that I am using the keyboard for, and I don't have a mac around to test, but as far as I know, it should be a simple plug and play. I didn't install any drivers or the sort when I was first using it, and it has been working great so far, no complaints.

I know they don't officially support Macs but if i plugged it in using the usb cable would it recognize it or no. It's kind of a deal breaker for me so i was wondering if anyone had any info.Thanks!

I am a tech ignoramus so I don't understand the question - did you mean compatible, if so yes it works on my Mac.

Hi Dr. K, Yes, this is definitely Mac compatible, for versions 10.1.5 on up, according to their product specs. Hope this helps - I plan to buy one of these myself, and I'm strictly a Mac person. -sasha

It is mac compatible, yes. However, it is not optimized for macs. The unit comes with two USB connectors for your mac, which connects it to the drive. Even with both connectors plugged in, some macs will disconnect from the drive while you work. As you can imagine, this is absurdly annoying, but is not a problem unique to this particular drive. A lot of macs have the same problem with USB 3 bus powered drives. The speed difference isn't even that noticeable from usb 2.0, so if you can find one, just get a USB 2 drive and save yourself some grief.
