Is this compatible with OSX Yosemite? After I upgraded, I don't think the drive manager is running anymore.

Yes, yosemite has know issues with external drives. I had to set mine up all over to get it working. Remember to back up!!!

Yes, this version is fully compatible with OS X Yosemite, at the moment I use it with Yosemite since about one month and a half and it is working very well. Gerald Tousignant

I am currently using a 2 TB WD My Book for Mac on OSX 10.9.1. It works flawlessly and am very happy with it. I set it up when I was still using Lion. Then upgraded to Mavericks and had no problem.

Yes, I was using it with Mavericks, I've now upgraded to Yosemite but haven't used this with it yet.

I am using it with Mavericks but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with Yosemite.

I'm sorry not to be able to answer you. My Iomega eGo Mac crashed before I could find out. It went Kaput. I bought a Seagate.

Not sure what your question is, but my drive failed repeatedly when I tried to copy the files from an old drive. I sent it back, got my refund, and bought a Seagate. I was using it with an old Mac OSX.

This drive is compatible with Mac OSX 10.8, so I imagine there are no problems with somewhat earlier releases of OSX like what you have. I always do my own drive reformatting/partitioning since drives arrive from the factory in Apple Partition Map/APM partitioning (because it's compatible with the old PowerPC based Macs), but I prefer the GUID Partition table/GPT partitioning scheme because it's what's required to boot from an Intel-based Mac (all Macs for the last several years). All of these can be easily changed with the "Disk Utility" software that comes with every Mac. You can reformat, repartition, etc. In any case, even if you don't repartition or reformat it should work just fine with your Mac This drive is compatible with Mac OSX 10.8, so I imagine there are no problems with somewhat earlier releases of OSX like what you have.

I saw this issue with my 4TB drive, but not the 2 - drag out an old copy of OS X like Mountain Lion, or earlier. Boot from the CD and use Disc Utilities to initialize the drive, then reboot normally and you should be good. This was a bug for large drives - but in my experience it did not apply to 2TB

Yes this is compatible with Snow Leopard. I am using the 2TB ELEMENT with my macbook pro as my time machine backup drive. I reformat it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) since I don't use windows.

I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite when it first came out, and am now running 10.10.2. I can't speak to compatibility with Mavericks, but it works great with Yosemite. See my comment inside the thread "Has anyone successfully used the r800 on a MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10?"

Yes, the drive is compatible with a Mac, you'd just have to reformat the drive for the Mac file system, not a big deal to do though.

I've never found anything that it won't run. I recently updated the OS to Yosemite, and it runs perfectly.

It will work with any machine that supports removable USB storage. If you want universal compatibility across the board, I would recommend use of exFAT over FAT32 if you have 4GB+ filesizes on individual files.You think any of those "Formatted for Mac" drives are any different from their Windows counterparts? Absolutely NOT! They're simply overcharged for being formatted as HFS lol. Also by calling Windows "Windhoes," you tend to make others not want to take you seriously ;)

It is not compatible with Yosemite. I learned this the hard way and had already updated my software without checking the AVID website to see if 10.10 was compatible. I had to search online for a way to downgrade my computer back to 10.9 Mavericks which caused me to completely wipe my computer of all files and applications. I would not purchase this interface until it becomes 10.10 compatible or is you are currently running on 10.9 Mavericks.
