I plug this in to both my 2011 imac and a 2006 PC and nothing happens. How do I get this product to work and be recognized?

You can't. It's a bad product. Send it back. That's what I did, It worked once and after that, no computer would recognize it.

For the Mac, to get it to work you have to install the driver (which is preloaded on the drive in a folder called "Mac Driver"). I don't know how to do anything on Macs so I can't help you much more with that. On the PC however, it should automatically work. I'm assuming a 2006 PC runs Windows Vista? In Vista you need to find the "Disk Management" Program (see link below), and in there see if there is a drive recognized (besides your main C: drive or recovery drive). Also it will tell you the size of the drive so you know this one will be the one with 930 GB. If you see it, right click it and "Change Drive Letter and Path"... From there you should be able to assign the drive a letter (D: or E: are good choices although it's completely arbitrary). Once it has a letter assigned to it, it should appear in Windows Explorer just like your main C: drive. Hope this helps! http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windowsvista/ht/disk-management-vista.htm

Plug the drive to your MAC. You would find full version of "Tuxera NTFS" plugin in the hard drive. Install that plugin on you 2011 mac. And then format the hard drive with the mac disk utility with NTFS format. The Hard drive will then work on both mac and windows. You can format with older FAT32 format also without installing Tuxera, but then you wont be able to save files larger than 4gb.Here is a link: http://tuxera.com/mac/onlinehelp/en/

It works on my imac 2011 runnning 10.8.2 with no issues. Should 100% work on your mini. it works on my old old 10.5 and 10.6 macs as well. The reason i bought mine from Amazon is, IF IT DIDN"T work, I was going to return (figuring i'd get no hassle). it works perfect

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.

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.

Works fine on my iMac 5,1 - Late 2006. not sure about any others. Suggest you contact the manufacturer.

That's what I'm using it for to my 2007 MacBook. So as long as the iMac has the combo headphone/toslink jack then it should do the trick. I suggest making sure to get any dust/debris out of the combo jack first as dust will interrupt the signal.

I read this but I ignored and bought for my IMac (Mid 2010). It works perfectly. To choose correctly read this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3011#4

Yea. There are all types of drivers online. My imac didn't need drivers. My protools 9 recognized it

I had no luck at all with that cable, i returned it. Id get a hosa or an art brand cable. If you have a condenser mic and a phantom power supply the hosa or art one should work. The Hde cable did not work with my imac.

Heather, I have both a PC and a MacBook Pro. It works the same for both. It starts working almost immediately after plugging in the USB.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

I bought it for a PC, but I tried it on an older Imac and it worked fine. Plug and play and all features seemed to be compatable.

I dont know. I didnt work (audio) with my early-2009 iMac. Maybe a newer model but once again, I am not really sure.

I'm not sure, as I have a laptop with Mountain Lion. I can tell you that I plugged it in and it worked. That's it!

I use this on an iMac running Snow Leopard. I did not add any drivers to make it work. I would guess that OS 10.10 wouldn't be any different.
