Can I download pictures from my mac to this flash drive and then download them directly to my windows 7 pc without formatting issues?

Yes, you should be just fine. Just dont format your usb, or else all of your data will be wiped. Your mac should be able to use the usb just as fine as windows would

as long as the flash drive is formatted on the windows7 first ...I would say you can do that with any flash drive ...AFAIK Mac supports all windows formatted disks or flash drives

Yes, I reformatted mine to ExFAT immediately after I got it. Been working fine as a media drive I switch between Windows and OSX with no issues at all.

I wouldn't know about windows 8 - don't know why it wouldn't be either...I do know that (and this is probably true for all flash drives) it has troubles going back and forth between mac and pc a lot. Apparently I abuse my flash drives, but I've tried to be better about ejecting them safely.

You can. My drive was formatted NTFS via usb and i connect to my Mac via Firewire 800 with no problems.

Well you would have to format it to the mac format anyways, it takes seconds, drive is a beast!

If you have a PC, you will generally format this drive using the NTFS file system. A Mac can only read NTFS formatted drives, but can not write to them.If you format this drive to FAT32, both PC and Mac will be able to read/write to it.*the limitations of FAT32 however, prevent a single file size being greater than 4Gb

My recommendation would be to get the Windows version and leave it as a single NTFS partition. Just load the included utility on your Mac so that it will read/write to an NTFS disc and use the single large partition for both platforms. Makes it easy to share files cross-platform that way.

No problem at all just plug the usb into your mac and browse files like you normally would

I don't have a Mac with me, so I'll just give you rough instructions. When you're on the desktop, at the top of your screen, one of the menu drop downs will take you to the disk utility. In there, you should see this disk listed somewhere in the left pane. Click the drive to highlight it, then on the right, you'll have an option to erase/format the disk. I believe you format it to extended journaled or something like that, don't pick case sensitive. After you do that, you should be able to use the drive with your Mac. I believe it's originally formatted to NTFS, which should be useable with OSX as well, but not as fully compatible, though it would also work with Windows. If you want good compatibility between the two operating systems, you can format it to FAT32, I believe those are better compatible. I haven't had much time with Macs, so not 100% sure on that, but you can give it a try. :)

I have about 6 floppy disks with pictures, must of been developed that way. Can I use this drive with a Mac? I no longer own a PC.

On the Mac, you can use Disk Utility to format this jump drive as a Mac OS USB drive or as a MS-DOS (FAT) formatted USB drive for Windows.

Most likely you will not have a problem with it. External drives from reputable companies pretty much all are compatible. It's a great drive and I'm running it on a mac mini so you should be fine on a windows.

Yes, You may have to format to work. The one I bought was exFAT. exFAT is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.5 or newer, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

You should be able to access most files that have a common app (Mac and PC) - the challenge will be saving any updates.Typically PC formatted external drives are FAT32, which will convert to the MAC, but not able to be write enabled back.The exception will be music and photos, they should be available for iTunes and iPhoto imports.

I'm using it with Windows 7 but it will be possible if you will format with Apple file system.

The USB drive should be recognizable by any device with a USB Port. the only thing that would be incompatible is if you have a proprietary file type exclusive to Mac trying to run it on Windows. Files like pictures, videos and such should all be fairly universal and transfer with no issues.

I plugged mine into my Mac via the USB and was able to transfer the files with no trouble.
