My Macbook Pro does not power the Passport portable drive. USB power is not adequate on my Powerbook, only 500 Bus Power. What Powerbook do you have that has adequate USB power? Thanks.

i bought the harddrive and a new Mac Mini. It works perfect. Only issue is the short usb cable.

I bought a few of these passports from Best Buy because they're CHEAP, NOTE: Portable Macs, eg, my MacBook, don't provide enough USB power for these drives. You need to use a USB 2.0 "Y" cable that plugs into 2 USB ports simultaneously, 1 to provide power and the other to provide data. The documentation for these drives state this. Luckily, my company buys the much better portable FW/ USB Iomegas which INCLUDE a USB 2.0 "Y" cable so I didn't have to buy another cable.

I have two of them that I use with my macbook pro and both work great. Have had one for about 8 months and another for about 6. Neither of them have had any problems. I don't have Leopard though so I can't vouch for how it would work with TimeMachine.

No it does not work with any newer MAC OS. I tried it on the Yosemite and it DOES NOT work! Netgear, are you listening your customers at all? Amazon, fix the label, it does not work with the Time Machine!

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.

Only used on a pc, but have used on acer and Toshiba. I think you need some different software for apple.

Thomas there is a new software version out 10.9.2 you may want to load if you are not aware of it but YES this Canvio will work great with that version. Just plug it in and it goes to work with Time Machine on your Mac. I love mine.

I had it work with my mac for about 1 hour... and now it doesn't work at all... Honestly I would avoid for mac.. even when it did work my mac claimed it couldn't recognize the device.. I think it just may be broken... not happy at all with the purchase.. hope that helps...

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

Hello Destiny. It actually doesn't work with macs. To be honest, I tried a number of things. However, the only option that I could see was to use the software while running VMWare or Parallels so you can run Windows on your Mac, and be able to allow this to work. However, if you're still looking to have something that works similar, but doesn't cost as much, here are some links that may be helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ or http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/ . These options use a Wii remote as an IR camera. I hope this helps :)

Yes, I run it connected to an iMac running Mac OS 10.9 as the backup for Time Machine. Works very well.

I sent mine back - upon consultation with the Iris people they seem to have no intention of making a Mac version. Their marketing needs to make it more clear that this mouse is not usable with Macs.

No I haven't been able to get the software to work for my MAC...sorry I hope that helps. Sadly not many writers doing MAC software

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM

I am running an older MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.5 and it should work for you as well. Great plug and play for running TimeMachine.

Yes, I used it with Time Machine in Leopard/Snow Leopard...worked well for exactly one year and then inexplicably died.

You can use it with any Mac over Leopard. Just plug it in and select it under "camera" in photobooth. I'm sure you can use another app but photobooth was simple and quick.

It never worked with my iMac. I still use it daily, just not the software tracking.

Yes to both questions (we are using a newer mac - just to put that out there)
