Does the microSD have to be formatted a certain way? I have a Apple Macbook?

not really for <=32GB card, but yes for 64GB, see the instruction in the guide.

Yes, but there are clear instructions on how to format it. It was very easy

I used an msd card right out of the package and it worked fine, however, I do not know if Apple reformats the sd card. Your MacBook may have an option of reformatting in several different formats including the format the card was originally in. Experiment and check it out.

I found out how to solve this problem for a Mac. You need to format the card by erasing it first. To format -Appications folder --to Utilities folder-- to Disk UtilityYou can format it from there.

Yes. Just need to format it in a format thats appropriate for Windows. Like exFAT. There are some formats that will be read/write for both Mac/Window. These will be most versatile

I don't have a Mac but all Flash Drives are or should be compatible. It's just the way you format it.

I am an idiot- specifically, how do you format this for a Mac? Also, is it fine to do this, or should I buy a specific hard drive already formated or designed for Macs?

Did you configure your SD card for PC? I have to configure mine for Mac. Did you try resetting it?

It shows up just fine on my Mac Mini. You could always use a card reader as well (this is often faster anyway)

There is a format button in the menu of the device. You can also format it on a windows based computer, not Mac. When the card gets full it will wrap and record over the existing data. Hope this helps.

Mine works for only the large sd cards and I get a message that it isnt supported by apple. I use it to download pictures.

Thanks Mr. Brown!I format the card to exFAT and it works OK with My tablet and MKV large Files.

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

Mine arrived formatted as ExFAT, and locked in a weird read-only mode because of it. I eventually had to boot from a Mavericks installer thumb drive to get it read/write so I could finally format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

You may need to format it, first. On Mac OS X, run Disk Utility. If it does not show up in Disk Utility, something is wrong.

Yes, it's compatible. It doesn't require formatting. Just place it into your phone, and off you go! If you currently have a card in the phone, you may want to transfer the data to the new card. (I'm not too sure how that would work on a MAC, but I'm sure that because all you're really doing in copying from one to the other, it doesn't matter). Have fun!

I haven't been able to get it to work with OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. It or the micro sd card doesn't show up on the desk top and I've set it up, , formatted the micro sd card, calibrated it, scanned and it doesn't seem to work worth a diddley. I not to happy about wasting $52 as it stands. Anybody else with a Mac have this problem?

I don't have a Mac, but if your Mac computer takes the standard SanDisk, it will also take the SanDisk with the micro SD in it.

I have had the same problem with a 512Mb Sandisk micro SD. I'm using a usb card reader. At first it kept giving me an error that it could not read it. Now it won't even show up on my computer (Mac powerbook) Any luck finding a solution?
