Has anyone had DVD problems on a Mac computer? My DVD doesn't work in my iMac. Also, the booklet fell apart before it arrived. Anyone else face this?

I too had problems wit the DVD. It was defective and froze in my Mac. I returned the whole ball kit and just ordered a new one. Fingers crossed it will play in my Mac.

I have only played the DVD on my DVD player, so I can't answer the question about your iMac. My booklet was fine, and I have really enjoyed doing MELT. Hope you get it to work soon!

Mark thanks for saying that you hadn't tried it, cause I was feeling really stupid that I had not put an audio in mine either. The kids' music is all on iPod and hard drive (streamed, when it works...). I hardly get to play all my CDs any more and after all this $$ just spent, I think I deserve it. Maybe I will just burn a bunch of Blu-rays of the CDs now that they came out with a burner/sw to do so on the Mac. Spending $ as fast as I earn it, but what is money for? Oh yeah, college...

I have not had that problem with any of our DVDs yet. I would recommend contacting the company and request an exchange. Good luck!

I have copied DVD that I had purchased. Some have copy rights and are not suppose to be copied. I have been very please with my Acumen. After having it for 8 months it quit working so I called the tech support and sent it to them and they fixed it and sent it back, no charge.

I have an iMac and a Macbook and had to buy a game for each computer. In both cases I did not have a disc. I downloaded the game from Amazon. I imagine the game is too old to be able to find it on disc....and even then, I don't know if a single disc cold provide the game for multiplr computers. It is a good game, Chuck

Yes. Worked for a while in Yosemite on my Mac mini, but not now. Will not work on brand new 13in Retina MacBook Pro. Was the description recently updated for this item to say "Not for mac?" I don't remember seeing that when I bought it.***UPDATE: Actually, it looks like it still will be recognized by the DVD Player App on my Mac mini, but not by the system or Make MKV.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

Thank you.Basically, the problem I got is the pause between the clips when I write them to a DVD. So, I joined them (and the pause problom is solved) and tried to fit it to a 4.7 GB (which apparently holds 4.38GB data). And if the total size is less than 4.38GB, I could write the DVD. Else, I had to separate the single cip (which I joined before) and remove some of the clips and see how many are getting fit in 4.38GB. I think I could write it. Of course, I have to write a second DVD for rest of the clips. Thank you

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

Hi,I wish I could help but I ended up sending mine to Squaretrade under it's warranty due to the fact that on the third time I tried to watch a movie, I couldn't get the disk try to open. Sorry, I can't be of more help but I would recommend sending it back and getting something else instead. I got an Icom. It cost a few more dollars but am happy with it.However, it appears that other people have answered your question. I hope you manage to sort it out to your satisfaction.

Mine was just delivered. I haven't tried it with an actual disc yet but my Mac was able to quickly identify the device with no software needed.

The answer is already in my review:"Be also aware that any new Mac now comes without a system backup on DVD. Go to Apple support Web pages and look for « Reinstall OS X » and « Recovery Disk Assistant » for details."

I am not a Mac user so I can't answer your specific question. You could try making a DVD on a DVD recorder and putting it into your MAC. Worth a try. Ray

I just recently purchased a MacBook pro with a DVD burner. I asked at the Apple Store about the newest MacBooks and was told they no longer make them with a built in DVD burner. You have to purchase that separately and connect using the USB port.

I have a Macbook Air, purchased in 2011, and this drive has worked very well for me. There are some DVDs that it would not play. Not sure why. I took it to Japan, and it switched formats easily so that I could view DVDs from that region. I used it there for 11 weeks and had no problems. Back in the states and it's still going strong. Good luck!
