Mac Question Will this work on a non-Intel iMac? If it doesn't, can somebody point to a good product that can be used with one?

Yes, this will work with a PPC (non-intel) mac. For the money, this seems to be the best deal shipped on the net right now for an external 500gb.

I received this 4 days ago and have been unable to get my emac g4 running 10.4.10 (with the latest complete updates) to see the drive in Disk Utility... However, System Profiler knows it's there. LaCie support has been very good via email and we're working through it. Reading the forums it sounds as either it's a hardware issue or a formatting issue.

It will not work for iMac's. Due to it being a DIMM, iMacs require SO-DIMM, iMac models use unbuffered RAM, non-parity, PC3-10600, 204-pin, and 1333 megahertz (MHz) DDR3 SDRAM.

if you have a Thunderbol Port Compatible on your iMac it will work...the small end is what plugs into the computer. it works really well...we have used it several times....

It works on PC Laptops with DDR3 Ram - this ram would work best on Intel PC's.The Imac uses laptop memory.

I do not have a mac but I fail to see why it would not be. Any usb supporting computer should make use of it.

It never worked with my iMac. I still use it daily, just not the software tracking.

I have only used this device with Windows based PCs. I've looked to see if there is any support for Mac OSX, but can't find anything. It may work, but honestly, you might be better off looking for a different product.

Yes, it should work if it is an intel mac. If you have any problem after you buy just let us know and we will refund your money Ken

No reason to believe it won't work in non-Apple computers. Best source for definitive information would be the maker of the computer. Good luck.

One of the reviews claimed that there were unofficial Mac drivers that worked well. But I don't know from personal experience. Your best bet would probably be to Google it.

The answer is yes! I bought mine to do the same thing on my Imac, worked great!

No, it does not work at all and the instructions aren't even for a Mac, Stick with the apple USB Drive instead.

Would love to help you out with that but can't speak for the iMac. I put mine in an early 2011 MacBook Pro and worked wonderfully. And saved same cash! If this is the type of memory that Apple says that your iMac takes, then it should work.

It works with my Macbook Pro- just connect & it runs!So, it should run on an iMac. However, the installation CD has only Windows software, but I couldn't care less.It just works.

I would also like to know if this works on a Mac. In general, I am finding that it is possible to buy electronic items on Amazon that are completely incompatible with OSX and no where do you even see that mentioned. A simple "System Requirement" category would suffice.
