Mac compatible?? Does anyone out there have this barbie mp3 player and use it on a Mac??? I find it hard to believe its not Mac compatible since iPods 'revolutionized' the mp3 player.

I have a mac and registered the barbie mp3 on a local library pc. Once you register, you don't need a pc again to play on the internet games. just the password you needed the pc to register for.I assume that's the big question (It was my daughters).

I had a similar situation. Nothing on the box said it wasn't Mac compatible, so we got it and plenty of tears when my daughter tried using it.I finally had to register the thing on a friend's PC and now it has some functionality. Big thumbs down to Mattel for lack of information on packaging and poor work-arounds.

thanks for the reply.. I ended up buying the sansa shaker mp3 player (I liked the idea of having a speaker option), for my 8 yr old niece this Christmas. I wish I didn't. It seems that if you have a Mac, and buy music on iTunes you, can't transfer it to an mp3 player, unless it is an iPod. ITunes music is in AAC format... you can't change it mp3 format. Mac apparently says that the sound quality is better.. I'm not so sure, and I am definitely disappointed that Mac doesn't at least give you the option. I'll just continue to let her use my old 2nd generation iPod.

it is only Mac compatible in that you can plug it in to your Mac, and it will show up as an external hard drive, like any other USB device. However, you can't get online and unlock the special items on Barbie.com, since it requires Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, both of which are not available for the Mac. If you have an Intel mac with Windows and Boot Camp, it might be another matter...Wish I'd known this before I purchased it for my little girl for Christmas- we own 5 macs and not a single PC, and she was sorely disappointed to tears when she found out it couldn't interface with the Barbie Website... it is only Mac compatible in that you can plug it in to your Mac, and it will show up as an external hard drive, like any other USB device.

No, it is not compatible to Mac. It works on PC and PS2. Might work on PS3...

Hello: Could you tell me what MAC you have please? I can not get my Sansa e280 8gig device to connect with my G4 emac. The screen of the Sansa says connected but nothing showing on my Mac. It did show as a volume a few times. Why only a few times I don't know. I have the USB mode set to MSC.Thanks for any help.

I got one but can't access it on my Mac. I know the Mac can "see" it sitting on the USB port, but it doesn't mount it as a volume or do anything else which would let me access its files. Looking for a workaround.

I play my Creative Zen MP3 player by attaching it to the aux input. I dislike Apple iPods and do not know if there is an adapter for the aux to enable an iPod but the Zen works great.

Not mac compatiable but you can load it onto anycomputer with normal. Processor or with windows media player as far as a ipod i guess you could change the format to put in your itunes then download it into your ipod as video file format. But a mac has a ios processor aka. Lions or safari. So the computer part no unless you buy special video incrypting software. And believe me thats a big headache unless you know what your doing so if you have a hp or acer or dell or lavero computer. Be better any questions feel free to ask but the glasses are kool i bought a pair for my son who loves them

Not compatible with Mac. I went with WeMo, which is smartphone compatible, because of this. Mac systems are way too expensive.

Is it a surprise that they don't (and won't) support Macs. I have both Mac and PC computers, because there just are not Mac owners out there to justify a company doubling their software budget to support both platforms. I use this on my PC and it is worth its weight in gold

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

Yes it is definitely Mac compatible, all the way to the latest version of OS X, 10.10, Yosemite. You can use the free program Audacity, which works fine. There are also probably a dozen other audio recording apps in the App Store that you could use. Many of them recognize USB sources like this cassette device, and some of them are free. I prefer to use Audio Hijack Pro (it's not in the App Store). It's not free, but has some advantages. See my review for details.

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about is not compatible to Mac.

I am sorry I am a PC not a MAC But if you call Roland they can tell you the correct version that does run on the MAC. I know the one I have has a MAC installer but with your version I would hate to say yes and be wrong and have you pay for something you cannot use. CAGMisfits

Got this as a gift. My Mac does not seem to recognize it while plugged in a USB. I have tried to no avail. So, my guess is no. In addition the package says ( Media Playing software: Attached software of the operating system or mainstream audio and video media playing software Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista) So, I'll assume it is not MAC supported.

I TOO am looking for version B1, not only on amazon but everywhere online. I havent found any site that actually posts the version they are selling. This is crucial for me since I was informed that ONLY version B1 will work with my mac. If you (or anyone) finds a place that posts the availabilty of v. B1, pleease let me know.

Yes, it work with the mac. We all love it. My daughter is 11 yrs. old and my Son is 27 yrs. old and he loves to play with it when he comes over. We have the drums and amp.

I have a more recent Sansa Clip, and it does work. The box says Macs are supported, but not with their software. They do not play MP4 files, only MP3.

I'm wondering if they meant "not MAC compatible" - maybe the "c" got dropped - just a thought. OR, possibly it's safe for the kids - just not the MA's. Ha-ha!
