What software do you need for this to work on a Mac? I have a Macbook Air OS 10.8.5. Thanks!

If you only want to use the Samsung as an external drive you should not need any software for it to work on a Mac. I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 and my internal Matshita drive quit working. I unpacked the new Samsung Optical Drive SE-B18AB/RSSD and connected it to my laptop using the included USB cable. I inserted my TurboTax install disk in the drive slot and the install process started immediately. No additional software or setup was needed to use the drive on my MacBook Pro. Now, if you are wanting to use the drive to burn a cd or dvd with data or movies you will need software to do so. My MacBook came with iDVD and iMovie in the Applications folder, but I have not attempted to use either one. There are also 3rd party applications available, but I have no experience with them either. I hope this helps answer your question.

I can't help you. I don't have a Mac - this does work very well with Windows Vista, 7 and, even, 8.

I can not speak to Mac installation, as I hooked mine up to a PC. However, with my PC, there was no software installation at all. I simple connected it to the PC and I was off an running. I imagine the same would be true for your Mac.

I use this on an iMac running Snow Leopard. I did not add any drivers to make it work. I would guess that OS 10.10 wouldn't be any different.

Hi. This is a USB device. Search in Google to see if there is any software that runs on MAC. This specific unit came with a software for Windows/PC version. Thanks Janio

to answer the question about Air Mac compatibility, I must first explain my purchase. I bought the drive because it was described as a LightScribe drive. It was not. So I never tried it on an Air Mac. Sorry ;-)

I am unsure if the device will work with macbook air. It works with every device I tried it with which is IPAD, Motorola phone and Bose music system for computer.

I can't give a definite answer on the MacBook Air, but I've used it with my MacBook Pro Retina and it works perfectly. The only issue I've had with it was that it wasn't compatible with my external USB 3 card that I put in my Mac Tower. So if it's just for your Air, I'd say you're safe giving it a go. Hope that helps.

If it's with a Mac you don't need any software.... just plug in to the usb and go. I bought two, though. The first one simply didn't work with my Mac for some strange reason and the second one worked fine.

I have both an iPad Air & MacBook Air; they work fine with the exception of the Time Machine software (it doesn't).

I have a Macbook Air as well. It does come with a CD and I also can't find any way to get the software.

The software seems to work better with windows. I tried using my Mac and I ran into the same issue.

I had to install the software that came on the disk in the box (also available on Asus website). After that it works very well with my brand new Mac Mini running OS X 10.9 Mavericks, so I think it probably would work with your Macbook Air.
