Can this work with my apple power Mac G4 OS X 10.3.9 desktop computer to repair the hard drive? Dose it have within the package the repair disc utilities?

Yes, it does contain the repair disc utilities. But depending on what your problem is this my or may not be a solution.

Mine was just delivered. I haven't tried it with an actual disc yet but my Mac was able to quickly identify the device with no software needed.

I have the same question but it looks like the drive does not support Mac based on the spec on this page: http://freeagent.seagate.com/en-us/hard-drive/desktop-hard-drive/Free-Agent.html

No, it doesn't. It won't work with any iMac that was originally built with an internal CD/DVD drive. Per Apple. Amazon should change their description so that potential customers don't fall into the same trap that we did. By the time we realized that for our 2010 iMacs, the drive was an anchor, it was too late to return it.

I don't know what you mean by "works with a Mac Computer". Any 2.5" IDE hard drive will fit in this enclosure. With the USB interface, you can plug it into any computer that has a USB port and it can be used as extra data storage. Then its just a matter of formatting it for MacOS or WinOS. In my case, I had a Powerbook go bad and i needed to get the information off of the drive. I put it in this enclosure and just plugged it into the USB port on a new Macbook I purchased and I could retrieve all of the data I needed. Hope that helps.

Sorry I do not know Apple hardware/software ... - disc works fine with XP & Linux.

Yes, this drive will work with a Mac that does not have a FireWire port if you use Apple's Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.

It works with the Mac OS right out of the box. It also can be reformatted via Disk Utility.

There are probably about 10 million people out there who could answer this better than I can, but I'll try. I think what you are saying is that you can't trouble shoot the MacBook because the hard drive is not responding and you are presuming that it is the hard drive that is defective. The hard drive is easy enough to replace and cheap relative to the cost of a new MacBook that it probably is worthwhile just replacing it. I did have a copy of Snow Leopard that I installed on the new hard drive. The Apple Store folks said they would replace the software for free if I needed it done. If you google (you will have to do this on another computer) "How to replace a MacBook hard drive" you will have a number of folks who will show you how to do it. I hope this helps.

I can't imagine why this external hard drive would not work with a new macbook. What difference would the screen make? I presume that the new macbook comes with OS X 10.8. I have two of these drives on my iMac and they work fine. It's a good idea to read the directions (quite simple) when installing the drive. It is formatted for Mac. The only thing I can think of is that someone mistakenly configured the drive for a PC. Then it wouldn't work on a Mac.

I have used ONLY Mac's for many years; but they can be expensive to fix from time to time. I do have the round power plug. Thank you for you input.

It's compatible with any SATA equipped Mac, which means you are good to go. Just make sure you have TRIM enabled after installing it on OS X. The utility I use is called Trim Enabler. With regards to the previous poster's comment, I've taken my Mac apart many times now and I've never had a problem. iFixIt has great tutorials for every Mac that covers how to disassemble your laptop safely. I recommend printing out their guide's and then putting the screws on top of the guide's pictures, so you know where to put them back.

The box says OS X 10.5 or later. I would suggest you go to the Western Digital website and see if they have any info. You might find a more compatible drive there.

Hi! It worked perfectly on my imac 2010, without any other stuff (and the SSD nor the imac don't seem to overheat)

You might have to get Spinrite. I don't think they have a Mac version of that program so you might have to seek out friend with a PC to run that program on it. 9 times out of 10 that program can fix hdd. Unfortunately since it's such a big Hdd it might take some time to complete it's routine.

I have not oprned the package, the usb floppy disc drive I am currently using has occassionally refused to release the disc for removal, but is still working so this Amazon purchase was bought while available if replcement is necessary. No 5¼" dirve is noted on the package but states "compatible Mac OSX, Windows 7, Windoes Vista and Wndows XP". also compatible with USB 1.1/2.0/3..... unfortunately, I am not a computer expert, just know the basics which is adequate for an 89 y.o.

It works for me plugged into a Macbook pro with USB 3.0. I have continual problems ejecting discs......
