Does this cable allow to transfer files from one macbook to another macbook?

I used it for high speed transfer form my MacBook Air to my iMac so don't see why it would not work for two MacBooks as long as they have the ports and you use migration to transfer

yes, i transferred data from an iMac to a macbook, but it works the same. You will just have to make the computer you are transferring TO like a disk (I forget how, but I got a good tutorial on a forum with one quick google search -- you just start the computer in a certain mode with a disk utility or something). best to you!

My experience is that the cable native to your zip must be used or it won't work. I tried connecting to my MacBookPro with a USB cable, and it would not work because of incompatibility. So I tried with my old iMac and it worked. Apprently, this didn't require a more, updated USB cable.

Yes it does work. Apparently, all of my computers were Mac. But, I have to tell you that this item does not appear to be a high quality one, although it get the job done. Also, when you use the connector, if it feels too lose, it meants that you did not connect it properly. Just a tip! Happy hard drive upgrade!!

I use it for my Macbook pro, as I selected Mac cable to connect with it, It works perfectly with me. I can transfer a lot of data in a short time. I know that this device is compatible with Mac and Windows but I prefer it with Mac because it has Time Machine Software to backup your data for double protection of data loss, this feature available only for Mac and supported to all Apple products. For further information contact their support team at www.g-technology.com. Thanks for contacting me and I hope this helped you. Regards.

It will hook up your pc to your Mac via thunderbolt using an Ethernet cable. I am not sure about your Mac recognizing the connection

No. This is used to connect a computer to a peripheral device (like a printer). Perform a google search to determine the cable you need. For instance search "USB cable for connecting Apple computers". I'm not sure a USB cable would work for you anyway. The computers would need to network in some fashion to communicate. This is usually accomplished via a network cable (like ethernet). I would need to do some research to see how to accomplish this. The answer to your original question is still no.

Yes, absolutely. It's a USB cable that plugs into a USB port on the side of the macbook.

I guess it depends. What is it in regards to? I have never had any issues with the usb, and can easily go from my work laptop to my mac.

No. For my new Mac, I had to buy a 3.0 to thunderbolt cable. You'll have to do the same, 3.0 to 2.0, to accommodate your system.

It worked for me. I transferred files from an old PC laptop to my MacBook but it took some effort to figure it out. I have since found an easier (and free) way to do this. Your Mac has a built in application called Migration Assistant. It can be found by clicking on the Finder icon, then click on Applications. You'll then go to Utilities and that's where you'll find Migration Assistant. Very easy to follow steps and it walks you right through them. You gotta love the Apple geniuses.

I purchased the adapter to transfer files between my several FW 800 external drives and my new TB MacBook Air. Works perfectly, and is FAST. Haven't tried directly transferring between my new Air and my white FW 400 Macbook, but don't see why not. As I understand, 800 devices/cables are backward-compatible. Will try this & post results.

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

Yes. It has 2 - VGA connections on the back, allowing you to connect two computers, and switch between them. You may however need an adapter for the Mac, but those are relatively inexpensive.

Yes it will. If you leave the original format and use the NTFS driver for mac you will be able to use between mac and pc

John, it works for me and I see no reason it shouldn't work for you. What I like about it is that there are two USB portals in addition to the connection to your USB on your Mac.

Unless you have a thunderbolt splitter which to my knowledge doesn't exist, the answer is no. However, check out the latest Belkin mac doc which does as it has two thunderbolt ports.

Yes, I have a USB 2 drive connected to that port. It shows up om Mac as another volume (drive) as if it were plugged into the computer. I believe it will show up in Win explorer as just another drive. Don't know the transfer rate. That depends a lot on your network.
