Are you able to use the Time Machine feature on a Mac with this?

Yes, I used time machine from Mac to back up my files. Worked slick when I moved them to another Mac.

I've only used the PC to keep archives of my runs. Otherwise the watch can function pretty independently from a PC. I do not think it works with a MAC....at least nto yet

I use this on Windows platform PCs and laptops. I don't know how that compares to Apple's Time Machine.

I am not familiar with Smartware and use my Studio Book with Time Machine software to back up my Mac.

I am not sure but since everyone I know uses Mac and this external drive and many are on latest version of Mac, I would HIGHLY suspect that it will work just fine. This drive, with Time Machine, totally ROCKS. It is the best investment you could make.

There is a difference between Mac compatibility and Time Machine compatibility. Time Machine is much more stable with AFP, which this does not support. But Mac OS X can read/write to Samba shares (just not Time Machine), which this does. So, yes, this is compatible with Mac. No, it will not be very reliable with Time Machine.

Yes you can, I am using an iMac. The HAPZ1ES comes with software for both Mac and windows.

yes, used it with iMac 27, and several other macs, works great. I suggest to create a synology user for each iMac time machine and set a quota. This way, the oldest backup will be removed automatically. If you dont set a disk quota, the backups can use up the entire synology disk space.

Use the Mac OS included "Disk Utility" application. Choose the MacOS Extended format if you're Mac-only. Otherwise use FAT32 if you must share with windows.Note, if you want to use it with Time Machine you will need at least one partition to be MacOS Extended formatted.

It depends - if you used Time Machine to back up data onto the external disc, you can run Time Machine on your Mac and browse backwards in time through any folder to find what was lost and restore it.If you just copied files onto the other drive, use Finder to copy them back to your back from the external drive.

You should first use Mac's Disk Utility to reformat the drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format for the best efficiency with a Mac before setting up TimeMachine. It is a simple process, and my 3TB version of this drive has been running TimeMachine flawlessly ever since. My 4TB drive is a recent acquisition for external storage, but it too was reformatted before use.

No, you would need an actual External Hard Drive, like a Western Digital 1 Terrabyte drive, for instance, to back up using your Mac's built in "Time Machine" software. This Superdrive is for reading and burning CD's and DVD's to and from your computer. You could burn documents, pictures, etc onto a DVD or CD, but that is much more laborious. Hope this helps.

It does work super well with Mac, depending what tool you are syncing wiith you can get the best of it...

No. This is to put into your mac book so that it can use two HDD. This is by no means a way to retrieve data. Your going to need to find software to do what you are looking for.

The machine is old, but if your MacBook runs Word, then you can probably transfer the document to it. I have always been a PC user and that is what is used in my district.

No, you can direct connect you machine to the Time Capsule. I use wireless backup though, and it's great!

Absolutely! I've used it for over a year with Time Machine. I never have to think about backing up. It's awesome!
