My advice, as mine did not work. Take your machine to a store, and test the device before you buy. Make sure it works, first. Greg

The drive is supported, it comes formatted in fat32. You can reformat to mac only or exFat if you want. USB 3 is not supported on macs (yet, you'll need a new mac), but the drive works just fine.I have 2, use them both on mac's and pc's with no issues. Great drive, really fast even on usb2.

I have about 6 floppy disks with pictures, must of been developed that way. Can I use this drive with a Mac? I no longer own a PC.

I wouldn't take a chance. It was supposed to work on my Imac and it read CD's and DVD's but wouldn't burn a DVD. I got a new drive from Apple and it works like a charm. I don't trust this product.

No problem at all just plug the usb into your mac and browse files like you normally would

Sorry, I have a Mac and they state that it only works with Windows. Hope someone else can help.

Not sure. I have a Macbook Pro. All I can say is read the specs. The drive does come with a download disc. I bought one so I could burn blu-ray / dvd (mac doesn't have that capability).

This is just a basic generic "case" for a pc laptop style cd-rom/dvd-rom the mac book should recognize the usb device just fine. I've bought inexpensive generic drives and name brand drives - all have worked with my Mac.

I don't use Macs, but as long as you have a USB 2.0 or better, just about any 2.5" drive will work. Be aware that the double USB plug is sometimes needed for extra power, but I seldom have to use anything other than a standard USB cable.

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.

Yes, you can rip your CD via iTune. Just open up iTune on your Mac or PC. Insert a music CD and click import.

There is no reason why this drive would not work on any Mac running OSX 10.4 or higher. There are some OSX applications on the drive but I've never used them (I just deleted them) so I don't know if they'll run on 10.10. You don't need them to use the drive on your Mac.

I have not tested the software on a Mac, however, printed on the cd label it says "win/Mac cd-rom". The software I believe is QuickTime based so it should work fine on a Mac.

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile

It works for reading on Macs, however I found a problem with it as it didn't burn dual-layer blu-ray discs (even tried three different brands of blanks). I gave this drive my daughter for her MacBook and I bought this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MCZJXG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) It works, performs better, and has a very durable aluminum case.

If it has a USB plug-in, and there was nothing that I had to download like you do with printers and other devices for the computer. All I did was plug it into the USB port and it immediately worked. Was VERY simple! So I would say IF your Mac has a USB port, WHY NOT?!

It will not work on Win7 if it's been formatted to work Mac. I have a mac that I backed up mp3s and stuff on this drive. Can't get it off using my Win7 machine.
