Will this work with a Mac AND a PC? This is for photo and data storage for a non-profit. I use a Mac, but the next person may have a PC.

I believe it depends on what Software version of mac you are using but it claims to work with the latest versions.

The description for the 500GB model says "Preformatted hard drive is ready for immediate use with Windows and Mac." I don't have a Mac, but based on that, my guess is it should work on both.

If using for MAC you need to buy one formatted for MAC BUFFALO MiniStation Stealth 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive - HD-PCT1U2/BK Buffalo MiniStation Stealth 1 TB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive - HD-PCT1U2/BK

As I understand it you have to choose one or the other and stick with it. Reformatting loses data. It will work for either one though, but once you store you are stuck with that format.

I have a HP PC and don't know anyone with a MAC. Works great, and priced so low that if you use a MAC and it doesn't work you can pass them on to a friend.

Thank you for your interest in our products. The unit is only PC compatible but we have some customers that use parallel for MAC and it work. We do not guarantee it for MAC.

Not that I'm aware of I'm afraid. I use Windows and I've never once used mac. But I believe it may work for all platforms.

I have a Mac, but not a PC. Works great with the Mac. Actually, just ordered another for my college-age daughter who used mine (her Mac) and now wants one for research with Evernote (?).

I use mine with my iMac's using PhotoBooth. It's a work around. Then I transfer the file into Dentrix. My tech couldn't get it to work on a PC for some reason.

To the best of my knowledge, no, this is not for desktop PCs in that it uses an optical fiber TOS connection... if your PC does have such an output, then it should work. I know our desktop Mac has an optical fibre output, so it truly does depend upon your system. I hope this helps... have a great holiday!

Most of the complaints ab this product deal with Mac compatibility. This product is designed for PC drives, so I would definitely contact the manufacturer directly

Sorry, I don't know about a MAC, but it works great on a PC. Assume you would have the same success with a Mac.

Yes. It stores photos and videos. It stores any type of file you can store on your computer (PC or MAC). It works perfectly for both a backup of your files, but also for moving a large amount of data from one computer to another by saving your files to the drive on one computer, and then saving from the drive the files onto another computer. My wife has a MAC and I a PC..and we can share and help each other edit photos or videos. My two drives are still working perfectly. Hope this helps.

I have a Mac computer not a PC so I don't know if A PC can. It's a great little scanner and takes no room on your desk. I scanned hundreds of old pictures from the 1920s on to my iPhoto program and then I could edit them from my Iphoto.

It will easily allow moving pictures to either a PC or a Mac computer.Not having a Nook, I don't know if the Nook will connect to either computer.Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It can be connected to a PC or a Mac no problems , but in my case I have a dedicated unit for each of my machine. Or in other words one for my Sony vaio and one for my Mac book pro , you don't want your data mixed hope this helps you ..

I bought this too - mine works fine with my PC but I believe the disk a has an option to chose Apple or PC. I'm not sure though since it wasn't an issue for me. I'd suggest emailing the seller.

I would get a NAS. I would avoid this particular product. I had a bad experience with this one. I did get a NAS, because I have the same configuration at home where PC and MAC need to live together.

Sorry but I've only used it with PCs so can't speak from experience but the manual does mention using it with a MAC

I'm a PC guy but according to the manual it will work "with your Windows or Mac digital production workstation". The specific Mac requirements are OS X 10.4.9 or higher, 733MHz or higher, 512MB RAM or larger, USB port. Hope that helps.
