This drive is probably formatted for a PC only. I purchased one that would not work on a Mac and returned it. Look closely at the descriptio and see that it work on the Mac OS.

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.

Whatever you do DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER. It does not work on a mac, though it says it does, and mustek offers no driver support. Look through the reviews of this product and you will find many frustrated people who bought this for their mac and found it does not work. Buy an epson large format printer/scanner. They have many out there that scan 12x18 and are of a comparable price, and offer driver support for mac, windows, and linux

If you buy for a ID card reader DON'T! As far as other cards I don't know because we can't get it to work on any computer! But we bought for Army card and it don't work...waste of money and time trying to get it to work! I wish we could get our money back but it'll just go in the trash. I'd stay away from it,but who knows maybe others had better luck,but we didn't!

Sorry Barbara. I can only tell you that it works great with my laptop & Windows operating system. Perhaps someone else can help with iMac information.

One possible problem might be your write speed. Even with a CD drive advertising write speed up to 52x, and discs saying you can write up to 52x, I had failures like this in the past. I never go above 24x anymore and taking it slow have had no failures. There should be a disc write speed setting in whichever software you are using, but it probably resets with each new disc you create.

The battery that I received is not even recognized by my mac, I tried it in two other macs as well and it did the same thing. Consider yourself lucky that you got one that actually works for a couple of hours. I will not by products from this seller ever again.

I have a late 2009 iMac i7 my internal drive for writing isn't functioning like it should. I borrowed a friends external rw dvd/cd drive by Apple and haven't had any difficulties. Writes perfectly fine. I'm not running Yosemite.

I got this camera for christmas, and I am running an imac with OSX version 10.5.5 which I am finding very unfortunate. The customer service line rings and rings and won't answer, and this camera does not appear to be compatible with my computer, thus I cannot get my christmas pictures off of it! Frustrating!!!

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.

I have yes. Since it doesn't come with a power cord to supply power to it separately, it needs to run through the USB cord. Blu-ray discs require maximum write speed in order to encode (whether you're going directly from Adobe Encore or exporting a disc image file from Encore and burning in Disk Utility, I found it gives the same result). Running a brand new (at the time) 2013 iMac, I found that I was not able to reliably burn a Blu-ray disc with Encore or Disk Utility. I was able to burn DVD's. There is a slot on the back that looks like it can connect to 9 volt power of some kind, which might fix the problem, but I haven't been able to troubleshoot that far, unfortunately.

The specs say it has an "8X DVD-Super Multi Double-Layer Drive." I haven't used the drive yet and it's likely I won't. Maybe a super multi double layer drive can do it all - read/write both cd's and dvd's? I'm not that much of a Techie.

From my testing on 2 units these are really 8GB faked to read as 256GB. Formating does not matter, these are FRAUDS!

I tried it on 3 different machines with no luck. Support for it is nonexistent also! I ended up getting my money back. Complete waste in my opinion!

it does not work at all! what you see on the keyboard is not what shows on screen. . .like if you type the letter g something like or a random number will be what you see on screen and what you get won't even be consistent every time! I returned it the same day it arrived. I might have tried to work with it but there are NO instructions and there is no contact number for the company and they don't offer tech support.

Maybe, I bought it for an IMAC and threw it away, total waste of money, poorly made, can't recommend it

I would imagine it reads digital info on a CD just as it does on a DVD. The disc drive in my computer reads both and burns both. I don't see why a portable drive would act any differently.
