mac compatibility: do any of the marvelous new features work on OS X....?

This is for Apple OS X 10.1.2+ users who may want one. SanDisk's website and most sellers, say it is only for Windows. I emailed SanDisk's technical staff. You can use it on OS X 10.1.2+, but you can't use the U3 programs. Incidentally, many PC users neither want nor use U3 either. You need a PC friend to download the little program from the SanDisk website that deletes U3 on your SanDisk in his USB port. Then, use your Mac's Disk Utility to Erase Free Space, Name and Volume Format in Mac OS Extended (journaled) for full storage capacity. Well worth the effort. The SanDisk is good looking, functional and nearly bulletproof. It's MUCH easier than it sounds. Just go step by step. I did this and it works beautifully with my iMac G4 running OS X 10.4.11! If you have a new Intel Mac, you don't even need a PC friend.

We are using it with a Mac OSX 10.7.5 and a 10.8.5 and it works fine. Not installation or recognition issues.

I don't have a Mac but it works immediately with both Windows and Linux machines. Neither needs any extra software to be loaded. I would be surprised if it didn't work with Macs.

Yes. The Mac version is (obviously) formatted to be fully compatible with all Macs. You can very easily format it to an exFAT file system (look for tutorials online) to make it work seamlessly with any modern Mac AND Windows computer. BTW, consider upgrading from Mountain Lion to the latest OS X Mavericks. It's easy and free.

Not that I'm aware of I'm afraid. I use Windows and I've never once used mac. But I believe it may work for all platforms.

No reason that it shouldn't work. Any Mac that has a USB port and is running a vaguely recent OS X (at least 10.5, not tested on older) is compatible.

No idea. It's reasonably well behaved software so it might work in an whatever Windows compatibility box you might be able to scrounge up under the various Mac OS issues.

I have not had to use it with a Mac. But from what I've read it should be compatible

Yup, that's what I'm running, ver. 10.6.8... on a duel core iMac. Hope that helps.

No. I have three different Mac systems and it didn't work with any of them.

I would also like to know if this works on a Mac. In general, I am finding that it is possible to buy electronic items on Amazon that are completely incompatible with OSX and no where do you even see that mentioned. A simple "System Requirement" category would suffice.

Does not work with Lion: "Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) support coming shortly. It is not supported at this time"

I'm not sure if it will work with the OS X. I used it with Win 7 and it went very smoothly.

What type of mac do you have? All the other posts I have read say that you need all updated software and then it does work.

No... It hasn't been updated, but will work fine on an XP operating system... Haven't tried, but it probably works best on a MAC...

I'm using a MAC, and it works just fine but I can't answer for anything else
