I bought this and I can't figure out how to connect it to my apple laptop. I have tried using a usb to usb cord but it doesn't recognize the laptop

Can't help much, because I gave it to a friend. He said that this machine is not worth the money; he couldn't get it to work properly. We just couldn't return it because I purchased it so far in advance of the date I gave it. Not sure about the cord connection; sorry.

Very interesting! I talked to the company today and they insisted there must be something wrong with my USB port. So, I called Apple and they suggested I bring my macbook in to have the USB ports checked out. After reading your post, I think I'll cancel the appointment. By the way - do all the Flip models have the same USB connector? Rhonda

I bought this too - mine works fine with my PC but I believe the disk a has an option to chose Apple or PC. I'm not sure though since it wasn't an issue for me. I'd suggest emailing the seller.

Mine did not work either on a later model MacBook Pro and it was brand new. Seems like its a piece of garbage and we should be refunded our money back.

How are you trying to connect it? Hdmi? Pc cable hook up thing? An apple hook up? Magic?

I do not have a MacBook but I do use an Apple Mini iPad. The iPad needed no work on my side to work it just connected. That's that. My guess would be an overwhelming YES

First thing is to make sure your USB port is active on your computer. If you have more than one port try them all. Do other USB devices work in this computer? I have had problems with Apple computers some times but the device always works in PCs. If still having problems I would contact the MFG.

It didn't work with my Macbook. When I bought it the didn't mention this fact so I have it in my trash can.

The fix is a little kludgy... but it can be done. The trick is to look for a "400" to "800" dongle or hub. What you are trying to do is come out of the dongle or hub with a "FW 800" cable and into the Apple Thunderbolt adapter dongle (about $30). I have lots of FW 800 hard drives that I use to feed my new Apple PBRP... and it works just fine ;-{)

Sadly due to the connector type is not, but, I think there is an adapter, few people have gotten it to be able to use "older" APPLE equipment

If it has a USB plug-in, and there was nothing that I had to download like you do with printers and other devices for the computer. All I did was plug it into the USB port and it immediately worked. Was VERY simple! So I would say IF your Mac has a USB port, WHY NOT?!

Zoom in on small connector (at right). Compare it to the monitor output on your MacBook. Order it anyway if you're not 100%, return it if it doesn't work.

To the thunderbolt port which is next to the USB port. I would buy the product from apple instead of this. It stopped working after 1 month.

I couldn't get it to work, period, and sent it back for a refund. Hope yours works better than mine did (I was trying to use it with a MacBook Pro) and that someone will be able to advise you.

It comes with a micro usb, but it should work fine with apple if you have your own cord.
