Hey, it's me again. I just went to there site and everything I saw said Mac compatible in the description, even though the Clickfree brand drives say "Multi-PC", I think one has to take the "PC" as a broad definition for any "personal computer", not just a windows. I still don't know if one can back up a Mac and a Windows computer on the same drive. The developers are REALLY bright from what I read in an article so I wouldn't be suprised! Just wanted to do some more research for you, but I still encourage you to go to there site as it is early in the morning and I'm getting ready for work... Cheers! Hey, it's me again.

It is mac compatible, yes. However, it is not optimized for macs. The unit comes with two USB connectors for your mac, which connects it to the drive. Even with both connectors plugged in, some macs will disconnect from the drive while you work. As you can imagine, this is absurdly annoying, but is not a problem unique to this particular drive. A lot of macs have the same problem with USB 3 bus powered drives. The speed difference isn't even that noticeable from usb 2.0, so if you can find one, just get a USB 2 drive and save yourself some grief.

Is it a surprise that they don't (and won't) support Macs. I have both Mac and PC computers, because there just are not Mac owners out there to justify a company doubling their software budget to support both platforms. I use this on my PC and it is worth its weight in gold

Yes - select the "Mac" version when ordering. I bought mine as a download from Amazon - selected the Mac version and it works perfectly

Hi Dr. K,Yes, this is definitely Mac compatible, for versions 10.1.5 on up, according to their product specs. Hope this helps - I plan to buy one of these myself, and I'm strictly a Mac person.-sasha

When I bought this I didn't notice that it was not Mac compatible. Being a Mac user it is a little frustrating because I could not find any way to convert it either. Luckily I had my old pc still and had to use that.

It comes preform after for PC, but the description says it's compatible with Mac. You'll just need to format it.

I got this for my PC through Amazon and the package says "Mac compatible". You need Mac OS X 10.6 and later.

I just received my MacBook today, and was disappointed to find that it had tiger installed, not leopard. I was under the impression that leopard would already be in it. looks like I would have to pay another $100-plus to purchase it. If you have any luck from Amazon, please let me know.

I am not sure about macbook compatibility. There is a disc with Logitech software that comes with the mouse. You install it to get enhanced features - like changing the button assignments, etc.. In the directions it says simply to double-click the "Logitech" logo in the Macintosh system. I suppose this refers to Mac computers but maybe it could refer to to Macbooks as well. I am just not sure and don't want to give you any false information. Maybe you could contact Logitech and ask them if it is compatible with a Macbook. I am sorry I couldn't give you a more definite answer.

Oh, I do apologize for the wrong information. Back then it looked like they were dropping the emu line completely, and even on the official forum Creative made it clear that they would put no more effort on the development of Mac drivers. But obviously they changed their mind along the line, and had made some progress. Looks like they have a driver work for Snow Leopard and Lion. But then Mavericks is around the corner now, and Creative still doesn't have a Mountain Lion driver, so I would think hard before purchasing this product at this moment.

I TOO am looking for version B1, not only on amazon but everywhere online. I havent found any site that actually posts the version they are selling. This is crucial for me since I was informed that ONLY version B1 will work with my mac. If you (or anyone) finds a place that posts the availabilty of v. B1, pleease let me know.

I have purchased 2 macs from Amazon with no problems, both were new non refurb units. Just make sure you buy it from Amazon and not an Amazon reseller

It will work without the 10.6.2 update, but there are a few features that will be unavailable. I would say this coming Wednesday (Oct 28) it will start shipping. Amazon will more than likely start shipping the same day as Apple. If you recall, Amazon had the MacMini up and shipping hours after Apple announced them.

There is no mention of Mac compatibility on the packaging, only current versions of Windows. I doubt it is intended for use with Mac computers. -- JG
