On a Mac a Mac? Is there a way to open files *DIRECTLY OFF THE CARD*? Not copy over, or drag over to the hard drive...Permissions are already read/write

I'm sorry, but first I don't own a Mac so I would not know, plus I have to say I'm not sure I understand your question, but I will try if it is what i think you are asking. Yes, you can open file(s) directly from the card, Although the read/write would be a faster if the file(s) were copied onto your hard drive fist and worked on from there. I hope i have answered your question.

Mac works fine - pop the microSD card into an adapter (SD or USB) and put that in your Mac, works without problems. Had some issues connecting the unit directly via USB (see my review for that)

Very easy especially if your pc or Mac has an SD card reader ! Its a super quick process!

That's great--but it doesn't help me on the Mac! :-/I'm curious why they put a 256mb restriction; have a 1 gb card and it's not recognizing it on the L2 (it's greyed out).

With the built in utilities on Windows or Mac, you can easily format this drive to whatever you like. OS X for Mac or NTFS for Windows. Unfortunately, those can only be read by their respective operating systems. If I remember correctly, FAT32 can be read by either O/S, but it has some limitations like 4GB maximum file sizes. There is a driver by Paragon (I think it costs $20 if you want to do it legally) that allows Mac to read your NTFS drives or vice versa. This would be another option if you need your drive to operate with both O/Ss. BTW, all drives have this limitation, and all drives can be formatted. As they love to charge more for MAC stuff (presumably because MAC people think they are cool, sometimes are ignorant, but don't care about cost), I would always recommend buying a PC drive and reformatting it to MAC if necessary.

I found out how to solve this problem for a Mac. You need to format the card by erasing it first. To format -Appications folder --to Utilities folder-- to Disk UtilityYou can format it from there.

Macs can read Windows formatted (NTFS) drives but they cannot write to them natively. But you can download a third party driver to do this. Just Google "Mac NTFS driver". If the drive is formatted as FAT32, both systems can read and write to it with no problems. However, FAT32 has a 4GB file size restriction. I am not sure what this drive comes formatted as. Probably NTFS. But you can easily change that.

Can you borrow someone else's PC to copy the files over to a thumbdrive? either that or contact Macally and ask them which driver's you need.

You would have to partition the drive of your mac in order to allow for this. I am going to attempt that. I love this game.

I used an msd card right out of the package and it worked fine, however, I do not know if Apple reformats the sd card. Your MacBook may have an option of reformatting in several different formats including the format the card was originally in. Experiment and check it out.

I have not done that but I see no reason you can't. When a disk is formatted it is optimized for the PC or Mac operating system but the files are not affected. My Rocstore has been a solid performer since it was installed but at the moment I am an all Mac operation.

I put a memory card in my camera and I just remove it and load it in my computer and down load the pics from the card ...there is a USB port you can also download that way...I have a Mac and no problems

Hi Shiki, This is very helpful. Is it easy to partition the drive? I just ordered this so I don't have the drive yet, but when it comes I'd like to back up both my Mac and PC... Do you know where to find information on how to partition? Thank you!

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

It shows up just fine on my Mac Mini. You could always use a card reader as well (this is often faster anyway)
