Works fine in my MacBooks. Just a little awkward due to the small size. Make sure you've got it turned the right way and push it in.

You need a mini to micro adaptor. I have a Samsung S3 and I used this one: Insten 90 Degree USB 2.0 A Female to Micro B Male Converter Host OTG Adaptor CableYou will need something similar but compatible with your device.

Do you have another computer that you can try to insert the Movestick? I've heard of people having difficulty removing USB devices from a MacBook, because the retainers catch the small square holes in the USB plug. It could be that these same retainers are preventing the insertion of a USB device. Do other USB devices like memory sticks insert into the same port on the MacBook?

The USB connection is for uploading it to your computer. Do not know about MAC, Sorry

You should probably find out if you have a USB 3.0 port on your machine or plan on getting a docking station in case your Macbook doesn't recognize this external drive. Personally, I have it working on a Toshiba laptop using W8.1 without any problems (read/write DVD single and dual layers + read/write Blu Rays) however it needs at least two USB ports to get enough power to function (I'm using 1 usb 3.0 port and 1 usb 2.0 port) so make sure you have enough available ports to power this.

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.

Absolutely. You may have to reformat it to your macs specifications. Does your mac have a usb port?

I got one but can't access it on my Mac. I know the Mac can "see" it sitting on the USB port, but it doesn't mount it as a volume or do anything else which would let me access its files. Looking for a workaround.

I have not been able to make it work at all. Usb is not recognized. Tried on windows 7 and mac

Sorry, I am not a mac user so I can't answer your question. But if mac has USB port, it might work and this is only "my guess"

They do not fit unless you prop up the macbook (or any slim laptop) on a book or let it hang over the side of a desk. You can't insert the usb drive if the laptop is in the middle of a desk.

for windows 7 it should be plug-&-play. if it still doesn't work after a restart it may be a USB issue. check to see if your USB is configured properly. also check to see if all the USB contacts are clean and making a good connection. beyond that i can't help because i use a mac.

Mac Pros tend to have problems with USB 3 devices. Suggest a good USB 3 expansion card like SIIG and an extension cord. Hubs seem to have lots of problems. Also repartition the drive as GUID and use HFS+ formatting.

I have an actual MacBook (with Macericks) and it works just fine. It is USB so it would see it the same way. In fact it uses the same vendor/product id as my apple supplied onboard device that I actually have to work around. I suspect you would not have this issue (due to lack of original hardware).

I personally don't own a mac but doing a search on the forums i found this: http://www.usbuirt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=749&highlight;=macHopefully it helps.

I haven't tried it but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be it's just a USB interface. I hope to talk to my Macintosh and it worked within seconds

I couldn't get mine to work with my MacBook Pro either. I just gave up. Too late and too much hassle to send it back. Tom in Florida

I am not a Mac user, but it should be recognized when you plug it into a USB port.

The USB connection will work in the Macbook Pro. To make sure it works, go under System Preferences, Sound and then the Input tab to make sure it is being used.
