I just answered your question about the StarTech hard drive enclosure and then realized your question is about the enclosure. What kind of hard drive did you put in it?
1265525
Ok did you know if the hard drive is working, for example rotating, can you hear it or feel any vibration or click inside?? Or you tried to put another hard drive inside the same enclosure?? let me know to help you

I used it with PC, not Mac. And often it takes a little while before PC recognizes it.And by the way, I was disappointed with speed, Customer service was great, they also though the numbers I am telling are no good. They quickly sent me a replacement. But no difference. I used a 4TB 6GB Sata disk in it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B99JU4S/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) and tested it with HP Elite book. copying from an internal 7200rmp drive, big multi GB files and speed was at best 50-60MB, and on USB 2, 20-35 MB. While I have consistently got 100+mb on similar copy while copying on internal drives. I used it with PC, not Mac.

Check to make sure your iMac "Thunderbolt Port" is actually that. Your problem may be that the port is actually a display port and not a Thunderbolt. They are shaped exactly the same.

I had the old version which was a USB 2 version which worked well but since I purchased a new computer with USB 3, that is how I use it. Just now I plugged it into my Macbook Pro which has USB 2 and it works beautifully. It should be noted that the first time I plugged it into my new Mac Pro, it did not work. It had me going till I decided to check to see I had plugged it in all the way. Hopefully you can get yours working properly and if not try to get it replaced with another. It will be worth it when working with large files. Good Luck

Sorry, but my research focused on my 2009 IMac. Suggest focusing your search on your MacBook Pro 2013 or Call Apple for help. Regards, Mark

Maybe check with apple about a system update. I still running 10.6 on my MacBook Pro and it worked perfect using the same cable you have the very first time I booted up! So maybe it's a system issue that apple can help out with doing a system update.

I have mavericks osx on my imac too, I used it as a time machine, it works fine.

If it has a USB plug-in, and there was nothing that I had to download like you do with printers and other devices for the computer. All I did was plug it into the USB port and it immediately worked. Was VERY simple! So I would say IF your Mac has a USB port, WHY NOT?!

Heather, I have both a PC and a MacBook Pro. It works the same for both. It starts working almost immediately after plugging in the USB.

I just finished installing the software CD and setting up through Ethernet on my iMac OS X 10.4 Tiger and it all went smooth. As Christopher mentioned, you first must setup through USB. If you follow the instructions in the long colored guide sheet and networking setup guide, you should have no problems whatsoever. Goodluck! =)

Finally working properly on iMac13,1 running Mavericks, the chipset is VIA VL812 & firmware v8581, upgrade firmware to v8584 from "http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php/listes-constructeurs/88-via-chipsets" (with a PC). Good luck to all who had the same problem with MacOS :P

I installed on Mavericks and later upgraded to Yosemite... Everything appears to be working correctly. That is one data point.

Try on another computer system, to see if you can get it working there. This can rule in or out an issue with your MAC.

Please do what Omwave & NeilMike suggested and connect the two iMacs with an ethernet cable. Ignore my advice from yesterday about using a TB cable. There is a good step-by-step guide on the apple website on using Migration Assistant to transfer data between two macs - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5872

According to the manual. It only supports imacs upto 2009. If your mac is new it wont work

I believe your older Mac came with the installation already installed. So you should be good to go , just plug and use. Hope this helps you .

I have an iMAC and it works great (had it about 2 months). Very fast, easy to install. I don't know if there is a difference between the two computers. I'm connected via thunderbolt

Yes, it should work with no problems. The USB port on the cable is standard size, and it's backward-compatible for previous USB versions. You won't see the speed advantage because your older iMac probably won't support the newer USB transfer speeds, but it should still work with it.
