I just got a brand new one of these for my Mac OSX Snow Leopard. How do I format it so I can use it?

I don't have a Mac with me, so I'll just give you rough instructions. When you're on the desktop, at the top of your screen, one of the menu drop downs will take you to the disk utility. In there, you should see this disk listed somewhere in the left pane. Click the drive to highlight it, then on the right, you'll have an option to erase/format the disk. I believe you format it to extended journaled or something like that, don't pick case sensitive. After you do that, you should be able to use the drive with your Mac. I believe it's originally formatted to NTFS, which should be useable with OSX as well, but not as fully compatible, though it would also work with Windows. If you want good compatibility between the two operating systems, you can format it to FAT32, I believe those are better compatible. I haven't had much time with Macs, so not 100% sure on that, but you can give it a try. :)

HiI use it on MS Windows. It didn't work without drivers I installed from CD I've got with device.There is no any directory on this CD containing any KEXTs or PKGs for OSX. Chip on this device is from VIA Co.Normally all drivers prototypes come from original designer, so send enquiry to VIA chip: VT1620A.RegardsM. Semenov

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.

Did you format it? It needs to be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

If you're running a mac, use the disk utility to see what format it is. If you need to reformat it you can use FAT32 or MAC OS Journaled. http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilformat.htm

I have yet to get it to work on my MacBook Pro but some of that may be my own error. Apple just sent out an OS upgrade called OS X which is listed on the label of the Zoombinis box. Before this upgrade when I would put the disc in the drive it would show up on Finder with the circle and slash of something now allowed or not supported by the OS. Now I get the symbols clearly but still haven't managed to get it to run. Like I said, that may be my fault, I'm still learning how to use Mac rather than PC.

I'm sorry to say that I can't help you because I don't use Macbook Pro AND my operating system is older than yours as well. But I would suggest you contact support provided by EZCAP as they were helpful to me with my Mac! Oh, you could try changing the default choice for what file format you want to use - I had to do that (choose the only other option available as they only had two)!

It was NTSC formatted. If you want to use it with both Windows and Mac then format it with ExFAT file system.

yes, it comes formatted as Fat32. It can be used as is or reformatted using the disk utility in OS X

If you were using windows I would say go to disk management and format, create partitions, and give it a drive letter but I have no idea what you need to do with a mac.

I'm sorry but I do not own Mac. I will check to see if it offers Mac instructions.

I found out how to solve this problem for a Mac. You need to format the card by erasing it first. To format -Appications folder --to Utilities folder-- to Disk UtilityYou can format it from there.

This drive is not formatted. It is a standard drive and has worked great on my MacBook Pro, but who knew about formatting? Genius Bar did that for me, no charge.

Don't have a Mac. I would contact the seller and have them read the packaging and let you know.

I used an msd card right out of the package and it worked fine, however, I do not know if Apple reformats the sd card. Your MacBook may have an option of reformatting in several different formats including the format the card was originally in. Experiment and check it out.
