The big difference is that the iBook has a powerpc processor is older and is not supported by most software anymore which stops it from updating much. The Macbook line of computers all have intel processors. While they will not update to the most recent Mac operating System they will be much more updateable for most software. Thanks, Nathan Betamacs

If you are asking if MacBooks are more internet friendly they are. they will run all of the current versions of flash, netflix,etc.ibooks are older notebooks that will not do several web standards very well, like flash etc.we sell ibooks for people who are familiar with there performance and aware of there limitation.

You can download necessary software from a pc. I have an Apple, was not able to solve the problem! Item was to inexpensive to loose sleep over, When I have time I'll use someone's PC for the downloads! I was not happy with this deal.

Hello: Could you tell me what MAC you have please? I can not get my Sansa e280 8gig device to connect with my G4 emac. The screen of the Sansa says connected but nothing showing on my Mac. It did show as a volume a few times. Why only a few times I don't know. I have the USB mode set to MSC.Thanks for any help.

How did you load it? I can't get mine to find the device for the app store to install it.

Um, if you're talking about a MacBook, I haven't upgraded, just thinking about what it would be like if I wanted to.With the iBook, it went okay given that I knew I was in for a lot of headachy, scary detail work when I started. I only broke one connector (speakers) and managed to reconnect those wires. I get my hard drives from http://www.macsales.com . I have bought other replacement parts from iFixit.The iBook fix definitely voids your warranty. The MacBook drive replacement is so easy I'm sure it does not void the warranty.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

I don't have that answer. I read from other users that there were some restrictions. Here's a link to Apple with a reference: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H6433ZM/A/western-digital-3tb-my-book-for-macGood luck!

I had zero luck also. I use a Mac. I feel like this was a complete waste of money

Thank you for the update. Major bummer - Apple seems to be screwing Amazon and the other retailers by holding out inventory of the new iMacs from them. I don't want to wait another month + either, so I'll probably get one from the Apple store too, and suffer the $150 tax hit. Booooo to Apple on this one.

SO it says in the comment above that you should be able to download the software for Mac. This is why I purchased this device, and then when I called customer service the guy tells me the only software they have is in miniature cd format??? WTF.

I would have liked to try, but I emailed Targus tech support and they said "it is not Mac compatible" so I sent it back. I didn't want to open it and try it first because the darn thing is packaged in plastic in such a way you have to cut the packaging open to get at it. Then if it didn't work I wasn't sure they'd still take it back. So, I'm still looking.

Honestly I had trouble updating no matter what I used. I have a Mac, tried a friends PC... never could get the updater to recognize the triggers.

I can answer half of your questions. YES, I was able to access the internet with my Apple iBook G4, no problem.

I don't know. I have a USB connection too. Maybe call apple support, or go to an apple store.

I don't have Mavericks but I was not able to get it to work at all on my mac. I have two Macbook Pros, one newer and I wasn't able to connect so it would work at all. I think the best thing to do is go to Apple store.
