Can I plug it into my Mac computer and record the music I have composed on Sibelius 6 music notation software?

Not a clue... no Macs here. Don't think Sibelius is in the mix, either. The S/W was a gift.

as the description says you are able to record onto a USB which you should then be able to plug the USB into your computer and transfer the music.

In order to record to your computer what you are playing on your keyboard, you will need a recording software (like audacity) and an audio input/output cord to use on your keyboard's headphones output and your computer's microphone input (this cord can be found in stores for as cheaply as $5). The USB cord only relays note-input information to your computer (such as if you were using it to write music on a program like Sibelius 7), it will not relay the actual audio information.

Yes, I am using it with a Mac and it works just fine. You will need to download the software, Audacity, from the internet but it is freeware. I have to use the gain control on the back of the turntable to adjust gain as the Mac I am using will not allow me to change the gain in the software.

You can connect this unit to your computer using the USB cable - it'll function as a MIDI controller for your favorite computer software to get even more functionality

I would assume so as it comes with software for both Mac and Windows. Why bother though record to a CD then rip to Itunes. I am no techie on these things but much easier.

Yes - absolutely. I'm recording all my midi parts in Logic using this - tracks like a dream. It just shows up as a midi device like any other and you can enable and play. Alternatively, load their triple play controller as a vst / au / whatever and get your fine-tuned setup loaded in your DAW, then call up your soft synths via that in Ableton.

As long as the application has the ability to take a MIDI controller input then yes. (Most if not all DAW software is able to)

The software for this keyboard is only for MIDI mapping, not for recording or scoring. It sounds like you are looking for Sibelius or Finale or something like that. This keyboard can be used with those programs, but you will need to buy the software separately.

The MIDI controller will work. The included software runs on Windows and Mac.

No setup is necessary for those who use OS X. You plug in the USB cable and you are all set. It is the advantage of class-compliant USB MIDI devices. If in doubt, try it with GarageBand, which is included in your Mac OS X. If you are talking about customizing the control number or arpeggiator, use KORG KONTROL Editor.

No, it is only an interface to connect your microphones/instrument/MIDI to the computer, and to route sound from the computer to speakers/headphones. You can attach up to 4 microphones simultaneously to your computer. To record and save tracks you must have an audio program on your computer such as Logic Pro/Pro Tools/Audacity. Also, I would not recommend this product if you plan on using it with a Mac, as the latest driver provided by Akai is not compatible with the latest Mac operating system.

No. This keyboard is a midi Instrument, need software run in PC or Mac to use.

I have not used this with OS X but I think there should be no problem with any software that handles midi input via USB.

Nothing much. You need a USB port (and potentially a USB hub with an external power supply in case there isn't enough power for the interface). Other than that as long as your computer can support a proper DAW it should be fine.

The program works with any MIDI keyboard, so as long as there are MIDI ports on your keyboard, just buy a cable and you'll be good to go. And of course Sibelius will play back and print your music.

No you cannot. It is a MIDI controller so it sends MIDI continuous control messages to your computer via USB. You can use these messages to mix using audio software, but the hardware itself cannot carry audio.
