T. -- a post in April says: [ Works with MAC OSX, April 11, 2007, By Zeligsilver "Zelig" (MN) - The PC system requirements did not address the compatibility with MAC OSX but I connected the player to my IMAC, ignored loading the supplied CD, and dragged music from ITUNES without any problem. ] I would suggest you use it by copying .mp3 files from your iMac into it (just hook up w/ USB cord). They should play fine.

I've mainly used it with my pc but per your question I did try in on my Imac and it recognized the drive and it works (I did have to plug in from the back though, doing it through the keyboard did not work)...my Imac is a 2009 os x running 10.6.8..it also works on my 2011 mbp. As a reader does the job just fine, never used it to burn anything though...hope that helps

The way i use it is I remove the Sandisc from the camera, plug it in the Mac, download the pics, erase from the disc and put back in the camera. Actually i have a couple of discs so when i go to check the camera I just swap discs. The Mac has a slot in the back to plug in the Sandisc, has worked very well for me. Very pleased with the camera. Hope this helps.

I just tried the same, and found that it actually does work. I had iMovie '08 running "in background" when I plugged in the card reader USB stick. iMovie popped up the import dialog without any additional action from my side. Works nicely. This is why I like the Mac :)

The iMac will read any files on there just fine, however to add anything from the iMac the flash drive would have to be formatted as FAT (instead of NTFS) so that both computers can save to it. Remember to save anything you need before formatting!

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.

Sorry, I can't help you. I had the same problem, returned the item with my cd in it. Bought Superdrive from Apple and have no problem.

Yes it should with the proper drivers for Mac according to the sandisk site..

Hi JasonThanks for your help, but in my case it did not work. The computer disk management shows the SD Card, but reports that there is no media. Therefore there is no option to format the card. Is there another way to get this working? Thanks, Urs

Yea. There are all types of drivers online. My imac didn't need drivers. My protools 9 recognized it

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.

Hi Chris,Thanks for reaching out to the community. The drive does work with the iMac, able to play movies using the Single USB cable and appropriate Mac compatible Blu-ray software such as Macgo's http://www.macblurayplayer.com/ or DVDFab's http://www.dvdfab.com/mac-blu-ray-player.htmThank you everyone for your quick and informative answers helping Chris out.-The DIGISTOR Support Team

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?!

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

Not sure why, but if you have a mac, try opening itunes, then insert the cd. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will. Make sure shiny side of slot is up and cd inserted correctly. good luck

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.

Here it is October 2010 and you are getting a reply to your Compact Flash item of last July 30th. I have a CF input device plugged into a USB socket in the back of my iMac G5. I insert a CF card (from a camera) into the input device and . . . And that's my problem. What next? What App do I use to move/download data from the CF to the iMac? From what I read, everybody does it. I am the only dense person who has not figured how it's done. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Frank at frdavis1@cox.net
