This doesn't seem to work on my 17' Mac. Can anyone out there verify it does? Mine won't take a charge.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. I think I just put mine in and it worked. My mac recognized it and it had a half charge already, so I let it discharge and then fully charged it. It also came with an info sheet that said contact them specifically for questions. Since it worked I threw out that piece of paper, but if you have it contact them. The very first battery I bought from another vendor would not be recognized by my computer and always had an x over the battery symbol, so I returned it. Good luck and sorry I'm not more helpful.

My Anker has worked fine. I haven't heard about third-party batteries not being recognized.I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro. I don't know if that makes a difference. Prior to this battery, I had gotten them from Apple, but since last year they've considered my model "vintage," and they don't support it anymore. I just assumed I couldn't get another battery from Apple for it.

I do not own a mac but it is well worth the 5 dollars to try considering it worked for my windows machine. Good luck!

Did you do the recommended complete drain and fully recharge method they recommended. If you have the same macbook pro I have it has been a power hog from the start. I just bought a new battery, it last only about an hour and a half, that is with all the power saving options turned on. Also the display turned down. My battery never lasted very long even when new.

Worked on my MacBook pro from 2/2011. Don't tHink they changed that much in a year so probably on both accounts.

I am trying to use it with a Mac Pro. I can make it work but there are issues. The mac won't recognize it at startup. I have to unhook it and reconnect after startup. It works fine then, if I just put the mac to sleep its fine at wake up.

Hi Buddy, yes it works perfectly on my macbook with just one thing. You have to connect it and then 'find' it by inserting a disc. Also, I had to re-connect it each time I changed the disc I was downloading. Good luck.

Hi Jerry - this was bought to work with my wife's MacBook Pro, but did not "work" for anything more than 640x480 very irritating. We had to buy the Apple manufactured item. Not sure if it is due to Apple's shenanigans or a defect in this product. I cannot locate the item to answer your specific question. Sorry if this is not of much help (and sorry for the delay in responding - I was traveling).

My experience is that it works, but for some reason (no idea myself) it is not communicating properly with the Mac's power management tools. I did a battery calibration (as recommended by Apple - basically a full charge, then run on battery until the computer dies for lack of power, then full charge - but Apple has VERY specfic procedures so search their support site) but that didn't change the message - atleast not immediately. After a week or so, ( about 3 charge cycles ) the message was gone, but then came back after it died after running from the battery for a few hours, and is now gone again on mine. I've been using it for 3 weeks or so I guess. I think the battery calibration process should have made this go away after 2 charge cycles - but it didn't for me. And the calibration process has not properly enabled the hibernation to disk the macbook is supposed to do when the battery gets very low - but the estimated run time is only 15 - 30 minute more than I get. For me, it was not a significant drawback of this cheap clone battery - but I am pretty cheap :) I would be raising a fit at the apple store if a $120 battery from them behaved like this.

It will charge it just fine! I use this exact charger on my MacBook, MacBook Pro 13", an MacBook Pro 15" Retina. Having more wattage is okay, it's having not enough where the problem lies. If I recall, 15" and 17" MBP require 85w whereas the MBP 13" require 60w. The MBP 13" will only take as much power as it needs, so it won't be the full 85w. This is similar to when your iPhone can charge using the iPads 2.1a charger AND the supplied iPhone .5a charger. The iPhone only draws as much power as needed.

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.

Would have been nice if you had listed the model/number. But based on the information you did submit, no it does not work with Mac.

My wife's is a white macbook. Anyway check your old battery. This one has a decent price but already is not holding charge very long...

I am using it with a 2011 mac mini. Purchased the cheapest mini display port to display port cable on Amazon and it worked without any effort. I imagine you have already tried going in system preferences then Displays to see if it shows up. Wish I could help more.
