For me it just worked as is - plug it in using the provided USB cable, and the drive icon will show up on your desktop after several seconds. You can re-format it with Apple's file system (HFS+) if you only intend to use it with Apple computers, but the default should work fine too.

you have to go in to the utility of the drive an you'll see a box for formatting the drive to use for mac. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq6-KQ3o2uk this is a good place to start and you can find more it you look up on the internet how to set up "WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2..."

To format it for a MAC, simply plug it in and use Disk Utility (Macintosh HD>Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility) Select the volume of the Flash Drive, select Partition Tab, Select Options (Button), select GUID (use with all newer MACS (2006 and later) Then select HFS+ journaled and name it if you wish. Then "Apply" and it will erase it and set it up for your mac.

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.

Not sure, since I do not own a Mac computer. This question should be referred to the Seagate Customer Support.

Can you borrow someone else's PC to copy the files over to a thumbdrive? either that or contact Macally and ask them which driver's you need.

You might have to get Spinrite. I don't think they have a Mac version of that program so you might have to seek out friend with a PC to run that program on it. 9 times out of 10 that program can fix hdd. Unfortunately since it's such a big Hdd it might take some time to complete it's routine.

If you are using a Mac, you can use a program called SUPERDUPER, silly name, but it works incredibly well! You will need an external SATA to USB adapter so you can power and connect the drive to a USB port on your existing computer. Be mindful that the exact duplication process takes a while, my 320Gig drive took about 8 hours to copy to my 1TB!

I don't have a MAC, but to my knowledge this is Sata and they all provide info via the Sata cables.. othern than that this drive is barebones.

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.

* Go to Finder -&gt; Application -&gt; Utilities * Double click Disk Utility * At the left column, Select the external Drive you wish to format * Click on the Erase tab * At the "Volume Format" select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", but "MS-DOS File System" might also work * Confirm to format your hard disk, Click on "Erase" button. * Pop up window will ask to verify the erase procedure. Click the erase button to start. * NOTE: All the data in the external hard disk will be permanently removed after these steps. * Once the erase process finishes, your external hard disk is ready for Time Machine. * Make sure your External HDD has equal or larger space compared to your Mac.

Googling MacBook hard drive type came up with a SATA connection, so this should work.

Yes. My new Mac didn't even come with a disc drive. I downloaded everything from the website. Forewarned, it's a bit confusing as to what to download.

After connecting the HD to the Mac, go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Open DU and select the drive (you should see it in the left pane of the window along with all other drives attached to the Mac). Select "Partition" and create 1 or 2 partitions. Format the drive as HFS+ Journaled and this will format the drive for the Mac. May I suggest clicking on "Help" in the finder and do some research.Hope this helps.

I don't have MAC but should work the same way like PC. The only requirements to see all drives - you must have the port multiplier function provided by your computer's eSATA port controller. If not you'll see only one drive.
