Is this machine Mac compatible..also, what 'parallels' did you have to install for the Mac to use Lightscribe?

The "light scribe feature" is not Mac compatible. You can still duplicate DVD's with this tower. It DOES NOT connect to any PC or MAC. It stands on it's own as a duplicator, holding no information or storage. If you want to copy a dvd, you will need to burn it first on your mac or pc, then use the tower to duplicate it. I have the latest version of parallels. It doesn't matter which version you have as long as you can burn a CD-R with the Lsi file on it. ALSO, this is very important: If you DO choose to use it for light scribe burning the manual should contain the name of the burner that is in your tower. You will need this name to select in order to set up the light scribe software on your parallels software for mac or pc. If you don't, the .lsi files that you burn will be worthless. However, if you do run into a problem, and don't know that name of the burner you can check what it is through the settings on the tower itself. I'm not sure what the path is, but it's there. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your interest in our products. The unit is only PC compatible but we have some customers that use parallel for MAC and it work. We do not guarantee it for MAC.

You have to install the Lightscribe Software separately. The Software is no longer supported so you have to search for it on the Internet. I got a copy from http://www.pawtec.com/lightscribe/#windowsinstall. You need to install "Lightscribe System Software". In addition one of either "Lightscribe Simple Labeler" or "Lightscribe Template Labeler".

I have an older compaq presario and it worked on it, I did have to get an adapter because my optical drive was IDE but according to the specs yours should be Sata and that's what this takes. You do need to get a Sata cord though cause mine didn't come with one. Not so sure about the lightscribe ...from my understanding all this does is inscribe labels on your discs. I can't tell you the speed it burns at but I do know mine don't take an unreasonable amount of time.

it runs just fine on my MAC PRO w/ OS 10.8.5. don't know about the MAC Book Air? you should buy it and tell ADOBE where to stick their Creative Cloud!

I have a Mac, but not a PC. Works great with the Mac. Actually, just ordered another for my college-age daughter who used mine (her Mac) and now wants one for research with Evernote (?).

I think for the price it's worth the risk of it not working to your expectations. It met mine just fine. I see no reason why it would not be compatible with your system as long as you have SATA connections, and burning speed would be affected by your system's ability. If you want lightscribe search for it, but be prepared to pay the price.

I installed this in Windows 7 with no problems. As you were previously advised-Go to LightScribe and download their software and I would suggest buying Sure Thing Disc Labeler 6 software.

I accidentally answered yes to this question, however, I can't seem to find any mention of Mac compatibility on their website. So, I'm going to have to go with no. Sorry.

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac. The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

The Mac disk that came with the S1500M was readable under Parallels and contained drivers for running the S1500. These drivers work just fine for running the S1500M under Windows XP. It seems to work a bit better or more reliably than the Mac software :-)

I don't have any Apple computers. however the unit works very well on my Dell Sys (Studio XPS) I have included the manufacturers data and it does reference Mac so.... here you are hope it helps Kanguru Solutions Kanguru DVDRW DriveThe Kanguru DVDRW Drive provides high speed DVD and CD burning for PC, Notebook and Mac users.

Nope- I learned the hard way that the drivers aren't Mac friendly. Check out Monoprice tablets - they work well for either.

Yes it works well with lightscribe but depending on the a art work you choose to burn, it can be time consuming. I have Windows 7 so this drive was plug and play. I prefer HP cds and dvds.

So you have to purchase a Lightscribe software in order for it to work with this unit?
