The summary at the top states "Connect to Mac or PC with the included USB cord" but Reviewers claim Mac incompatibility. Pls confirm which is true?

The Flowlink does not seem to work with MAC. For whatever reason, the MAC version insists on installing software for a different product than the ones Flowlink is supposed to support. Their customer service is useless: Keeps on directing you to install the software that does not work. Because Polar is not a MAC developer, the software installation also requires allowing (at least temporarily) allowing software from Anywhere to be installed, through the security panel, which can be reversed after installation; but installing the 2.8.1 - 2/2013 version is a vain and useless exercise. Company has been told about the problem, but ignores requests for repair. The Flowlink does not seem to work with MAC.

I have no problems connecting this to my MAC. It syncs perfectly fine. Users should be aware that they need to manually install the drivers for this device before use.

I personally don't own a mac but doing a search on the forums i found this: http://www.usbuirt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=749&highlight;=macHopefully it helps.

One of the reviews claimed that there were unofficial Mac drivers that worked well. But I don't know from personal experience. Your best bet would probably be to Google it.

I do not see any compatibility options for MAC OS online. As a USB 2.0 connection, they are compatible to a certain extent, but are NOT 100% compatible with each other considering the "WIN" function that has programmable keys available with Windows software.

I use it with a Dell PC via USB port - no personal experience with a MacBook. However, I believe that the reference to "works only with freestyle products" refers to the accessories, like the keypad.

I have only used this device with Windows based PCs. I've looked to see if there is any support for Mac OSX, but can't find anything. It may work, but honestly, you might be better off looking for a different product.

for windows 7 it should be plug-&-play. if it still doesn't work after a restart it may be a USB issue. check to see if your USB is configured properly. also check to see if all the USB contacts are clean and making a good connection. beyond that i can't help because i use a mac.

Honestly I am not familiar with Mac, but if you are having a issue with Mac PnP, I would look to see if it is enabled in P.O.S.T during boot, then anything in settings, the other thing is if you have PnP enabled, as wll as in your settings on your notebook, or computer setting's. The last idea would to be to contact Mac. USB should technically work in any device which has been programed in their circuity, or programming in their OS.

I bought this too - mine works fine with my PC but I believe the disk a has an option to chose Apple or PC. I'm not sure though since it wasn't an issue for me. I'd suggest emailing the seller.

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

Sorry, I am not a mac user so I can't answer your question. But if mac has USB port, it might work and this is only "my guess"

I honestly cant say, the packaging said it was compatible with MAC, however it is not......

I guess it depends. What is it in regards to? I have never had any issues with the usb, and can easily go from my work laptop to my mac.

The USB drive should be recognizable by any device with a USB Port. the only thing that would be incompatible is if you have a proprietary file type exclusive to Mac trying to run it on Windows. Files like pictures, videos and such should all be fairly universal and transfer with no issues.

I believe that it is only USB through the adapter, I don't have a mac but I would think you could check the company's website to see if they support it.

A few questions: Are you using this with a Mac? Are there usb 3.0 hub drivers to install for Mac? Are you referring to the physical plugging-in act or the device plugs in but doesn't charge or get recognized by your computer?
