Does this work on Macs? Hi, I have a powerbook pro and was just wondering if anyone knew if this would work with it. I didn't see Mac or PC listed in the description anywhere.Thanks!

I have used this with an iBook G4 and a Mac mini (Intel) in a classroom. It worked very well with both. I use it frequently and have had no problems.

i use mine with total success on a pc. when i plugged it into a macbook pro, it asked for information from the manufacturer that may make it work as well there. it worked fairly well without the information but some of the function keys gave strange results. it is possible that if i were more familiar with the normal functions produced with the function keys on the mac it may have been ok.

I am sorry but I am not sure about it. I have connected it to my iMac i5 27 "and it works perfectly. Another customer says that it works perfectly on his Mac Pro. I understand it should work on a MacBook Pro without problems.

Hi Angela, honestly I cannot guarantee if it may work with a Macbook Pro. This is because I have never used this hard drive on a Macbook Pro. Personally I used it a Toshiba laptop and it works perfectly.

I use a Mac Book Pro and it works fine. Not a desktop, but I can't see how it would be any different there?

Yes it will work on either PC or Apple laptops that have a USB connection. It uses the power off the port and nothing to do with the operating system. It would also work in a usb phone charger or car usb port if it had one.

I'm sorry: Mark's question is beyond by level of tech-savvy. I'm using my LaCie FDD with my PowerBook G4. It works equally well with our MacBook Pro. I use it too with an G3 and and iMac. Its versatility is marvelous. It accepts my floppy disks, of any vintage, without a blip. But as to its use with esoteric programs, I have no idea.I wish Mark well in his quest.

I personally removed it from my desk top pc and plugged it into my MacBook PRO 2010 (OSX 10.8.4). The MBP saw the mouse as a external keyboard and requested a driver. I checked and found no support for a Mac (mouse) driver. So this mouse did not work for me with a MAC. If one of the others who replied could explain how they tested and made it work, that would be more helpful.

I have no idea if it will work with a MacBook because I am not familiar with Mac's. I know it works with Linux when it is formatted for FAt32, NTFS, or Ext; and that it works for Windows when formatted for FAT32 or NTFS. No additional drivers are required for Linux nor for Windows.

This does work with Apple Macbook Pro computers. As far as I know it works with any device that is bluetooth capable. If you device is not bluetooth capable there is an optional USB connector that the device connects with.

I use a PC with Windows 8.1 via USB. I have a Mac Pro, but abandoned it. I am a Windows guy. Please let me know what you find out. I may resurrect my Mac Pro at some point.

I bought this is a present for my son. My son has a PC/Windows system. I asked him if he thought it would work on MAC and he said he thought so but wasn't sure. Maybe call Sony to find out. Hope this helps.

I couldn't tell you, I don't use pc I'm a mac guy. I worked in my Power Mac, but I now have an iMac and it won't work w/ new OS. Sorry I couldn't help more but I had mine before USB 3.0 became a reality.

Hey what's going on. Well I just seen your review and I have Macbook Pro 15.4 and I sent this up fairly easily. Yes this will work wirelessly with your mac and PC. You have to set this up first with the USB cord first though. From your computer to the printer. I set my wifes first to set up the wireless and run the CD after that it was on the network and ready to run. I then set my Mac up to this and it found it pretty easy. Just remember it doesn't come with the cord from Amazon so that's why I had to buy that cord separately.

I use it with a MacBookPro and it works like a charm. I haven't had any issues with it at all. It comes with two set up discs one for pc and one for mac. Really, It's an awesome little machine especially at that price.

I purchased it for a friend who hasn't tried it on a Mac, so I can't give you a definitive answer. However, as far as I know, it does not work on a Mac but was specifically designed for PC. Sorry I can't be more definite than that.

It works with any electronic device that's within the wattage specification. However to fully utilize the power management for computers you need the PowerPanel software, which is available for Macs in addition to PCs. You can get the Mac version from the following URL if it doesn't already come with the product. http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/products/management-software/ppmac.html
