Is this flash drive really compatible with OS X laptops?

It works with my desktop and the macbook pro and macbook air of my friends. And honestly, so much faster than usb 2.

It is mac compatible, yes. However, it is not optimized for macs. The unit comes with two USB connectors for your mac, which connects it to the drive. Even with both connectors plugged in, some macs will disconnect from the drive while you work. As you can imagine, this is absurdly annoying, but is not a problem unique to this particular drive. A lot of macs have the same problem with USB 3 bus powered drives. The speed difference isn't even that noticeable from usb 2.0, so if you can find one, just get a USB 2 drive and save yourself some grief.

Yes. Any standard flash drive is compatible with both. Incompatibilities are actually file system issues, which a format into the right file system will alleviate anyhow. For Mac, the correct FS is going to be HFS or HFS+, whereas Windows uses the NTFSfile system and both can make basic use of the FAT file system.If the Mac in question also has USB 3.0 ports, then you will see full speed. If it only has 2.0 ports, you will see speeds more comparable to older flash drives. Check with apple for specifications on your device.

I don't know because I use a later version of OS X. It worked fine with that. Maybe check the WD site? They most likely have full specs on their site.

There's no reason why it should not be compatible. The usb protocol is standard across modern os's and is backwards applicable.

The device comes with a FAT32 partition, which is quite limited but very compatible.I repartitioned my USB Flash drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and so files on it can be as large as the device.

Yes, of course. You have to format it in ExFAT, it supported by Win7 and Mac without problem.Also you can format any flash drive in ExFAT, it allows files more than 4Gb

Yes! I am using mine with a MacBook Pro. All you have to do is hook it up with the USB, then copy and paste your files to the NO NAME drive listed in Finder. I say copy and paste because if you move the files and leave them on the drive, they will disappear once you unhook the USB. I've completed about 30 patterns from Urban Threads with no problem. Happy embroidering :)

Most likely you will not have a problem with it. External drives from reputable companies pretty much all are compatible. It's a great drive and I'm running it on a mac mini so you should be fine on a windows.

I would think so I have not heard of any problems where a flash drive would not work on a Mac once it was used on a windows computer.

I wouldn't know about windows 8 - don't know why it wouldn't be either...I do know that (and this is probably true for all flash drives) it has troubles going back and forth between mac and pc a lot. Apparently I abuse my flash drives, but I've tried to be better about ejecting them safely.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

Yes Olympus says it's compatible in the description. I don't use it with a Mac but I can't imagine any reason that it wouldn't work with one considering that, when you plug it into a USB port, it behaves like any solid-state thumb drive. This means that you can copy files from the device with the system browser to any other storage medium (like your hard drive or CD/DVD writer, etc.). You can also move (or delete) files from folder to folder if you like. In short, you can treat it like another hard drive when it's plugged into a USB port. You can also copy files from your hard drive to the recorder. Yes Olympus says it's compatible in the description.

I have no experience with Apple products so I cannot answer your question directly. But I think in general most flash drives are compatible with both systems. The cost is quite low, so it wouldn't hurt to try it and if not, then give it away as a birthday or Xmas gift!

as long as the mac device has a usb option. what kind of device are you trying to use it for?

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

I honestly do not know if this drive is Mac compatible. It was such a waste of money and a piece of garbage it hardly even worked for PC. What I can tell you is this drive: Samsung Ultra Portable Slim DVD+/-RW USB External Drive, Black SE-218BB/RSBS IS Mac Compatible and works awesome on PC and Mac and Linux. Its a bit more money, but it really is worth it. Dont even bother with the one for your question, its not worth 1$.
