I just ordered a sister model (AWUS036NHV) on for my Macbook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2. Downloaded drivers from Alpha site...Works fine... but not until I tried 5 different USB Cables (including the one included with the unit), and it finally kicked in with a short super heavy-duty USB cable from my Garmin. Maybe the USBports on my macbook Air don't provide enough power? But it is working now and doing a nice job.Would like to use a long cable to place the unit closer to the window... gonna check into usinga powered usb hub with a longer cable. Anyone have any experience with using a powered hubwith this unit? I just ordered a sister model (AWUS036NHV) on for my Macbook Air with Yosemite 10.10.2.

Make sure it's a mac formatted hard drive, re-format on your computer if you're unsure. It's hardware not software, what won't be compatible ? USB3 connects to Yosemite same way it connected to Maverick or Mountain lion.

Not sure I can help. Works very well with MacBook Pro 9bought in 2012). Its plugged in all day...no overheating issues. Best of luck!

Yes, firewire works perfectly (on Macs at least, I'm fortunate not to have a windows machine to be able to test this on). Enough power is supplied via the firewire cable to run the drive. USB is a different matter ... a single USB cable from a Belkin hub attached to my Mac Mini will NOT spin the drive up. The light goes on, but the drive never mounts and it remains invisible on 'Disk Utility'. I was worried this would be the same story on my laptop ... however, a single USB cable works just fine with a 2 year old MacBook Pro. I suspect that it depends how much power the USB delivers, and that newer machines may deliver sufficient. So, USB doesn't suck ... it just depends what you attach it to. I've tried this on a Belkin hub attached to my Mac Mini and on a 15" MacBook Pro.

Hi Cleo, The neighbor dropped off their Mac Book Pro and yes it did work just fine. I don't use Mac's but I was able to see the little blue indicator on the adapter and open photos on the SD card inserted into the adapter just fine. Maybe that's testament as to how easy Mac's are to use? I couldn't figure out how to find the OS version however and my neighbor had gone out. If you absolutely need to know the OS version I'll find out for you. Let me know.Regards,Charlie

Hi Everyone,I just received my second generation MinoHD yesterday and, sure enough, I'm having the same problem. It does not physically fit into any of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro 17". I submitted a support request, so, I guess we'll see where that goes. I suppose I'll run into the same issues as everybody else - a bunch of finger pointing and evasion with little resolution.

I got that one without really paying attention to the specs and it turns out it did **NOT** work on my macbook pro 13 mid 2009. It did however, work on my dad's mac mini so I did not return it. I'm currently waiting for this one: <http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7E646767A5CA7304> which you can find on amazon here: <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1>. Based on the reviews it seems that this is the right one (I'm still waiting on this though).

Hi I am suing this with my MAC bookPRo and Surf 2.. without any issues. You should have no problem geting 4 additional ports. The picture is showing 3 but actually there are 4 ports. I am always super loading all the ports and this thing just works and works and works. Good luck

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thank you for posting your question! This USB to serial adapter works well on Mac OS X versions 10.6 and later. However, the software you use to communicate with the connected devices must also support the OS X version you are using. The necessary OS X driver for the USB to serial adapter is available from our website at: http://plugable.com/products/pl2303-db9/drivers. Please feel free to contact us about any additional questions at http://support.plugable.com. David Plugable Support

I've just plugged one of these into OS X 10.9.5 and it *does not* work. Checking the USB details using USB Prober show there is no device driver (kext) loaded for the device. However, the device is shown in System Information under USB described as "2-axis, 8-button gamepad" but this is just the product string reported verbatim (OS X can do this without a driver).

I had an issue with the 7200 rpm drive not booting up from my MacBook Pro, and returned it for a refund. I have several of these running at the slower speed (5600 rpm) with no problems, though I did have one that had a port that loosened and became unusable.

I have a Lacie external drive with a thunderbolt port connected to the thunderbolt port on my MacBook Pro. If your MacBook Pro or external HD does not have a thunderbolt port, there might be an adaptor you could get to modify. Hope this helps

I have the same MacPro. I purchased the 4 port card and did not need to run the internal power when the hard drives (or other usb devices) were externally powered. I even ran a bus powered drive off of it. Then I read that for bus powered drives it was *recommended* to have the internal power, but I haven't found a good source for that cable (please let me know if you find one). In the end, if you are externally powering, then either will work.

I simply plugged the USB relay into my MacBookPro.... turned on the mouse and it worked perfectly. I didn't have to doenload anything... just plug USB to mouse and it worked.
