does anyone know how to use this thing on a MacBook?

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

Michelle, I would assume so. They have drivers for it and it's in the quick setup documentation. But I don't have a mac.

I don't know, only because I don't have a MacBook or know what kind of plug they require. Sorry

I know they don't officially support Macs but if i plugged it in using the usb cable would it recognize it or no. It's kind of a deal breaker for me so i was wondering if anyone had any info.Thanks!

I'm not sure buddy. I'm using it on a MAC. I will tell you though the USB ports on mine work only intermittently, hopefully you'll have better luck!

I have a PC(laptop), and it works. It just looks like the type used on Mac's.

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.

You could try but it is probably best to use it on a Macbook. That's what it was designed for because the command keys are designed for a the Macbook.

No you can't, this is for macbook. And also otherwise the quality of the cable was crappy, it stopped working on 2nd use. I don't encourage anybody to touch this piece of garbage.

This is just a blind stab in the dark, but since this device uses a flash memory card, it seems to me there must be a USB card reader that you could plug into your Mac, that you could then use to transfer the data directly to your desktop? Like I do with my cameras card? Hope this helps.

I have not used it on a MacBook Air, but Apple makes a proprietary FireWire adapter for the Thunderbolt port. If you MacBook Air predates Thunderbolt, it may be hard because your hard drive is supposed to operate off of a threshold speed. If you have Thunderbolt, you will need to buy Apple's adapter, then this, and I would imagine you could hook it up pretty easily. If you MacBook Air predates Thunderbolt, I am not sure what you would do.

I'm on a Mac, but I had to get a different cable than the one that came with it. Good luck.

Hi. This is a USB device. Search in Google to see if there is any software that runs on MAC. This specific unit came with a software for Windows/PC version.ThanksJanio

Yep. I use a macbook pro. The setup is slightly different than with windows, but it works the same.

There is a guide to getting it to work under Mac OS X... but it's not officially supported, and doesn't have any OS X specific keys...http://5thirtyone.com/archives/751

I'm a Mac guy, but it's not hard to figure out. Just check the specs for that particular model. Should be in your system/laptop profile. And online.

I have used it with a MAC, but I do not have a macbook. It is usb so it should work.
