It's just plug and play. I have a 2011 mac book pro and have use this drive several times with no issues. Just remember that macs don't have native Blu-ray playback. You'll see the disk mount, and you can even burn to recordable disks. But you will need 3rd party software to play movies. There is free stuff out there if you google it.

It does work on macbook pro. I don't have a PC but I believe you have to install a driver for it to properly function on a PC. I have had no problems with this and I am thinking one more for back up.

Hi Bridget,I use mine with WindowsXP. It does not specify which OS it works with except to state the software supplied is not usable with MAC. There is an email for support, Support@aluratek.com and a phone 1-866-580-1978. I would call them or email first to be sure. It was easy to install and use. The connecting information supplied was clear and concise.

Mac shouldn't be a problem as it can detect and use it straight once connected, but for windows, they will prompt u whether you wan to install the Logitech software, which I agree and let Windows update do the search, update and installationTo summed it up, mac user is a breeze, windows requires some driver updating and installation....how I knw? Coz I've installed two OS on my mac book pro.....hope tat helps.....

Same experience as Gary Carlson. No drivers needed for late 2011 MacBook Pro. Working fine with Mavericks. However, I would add as drawbacks the clunky size of the adapter as it sticks out of the expressport slot, and the barrel type power plug to USB port adapter cable needed for bus powered devices. Not an elegant solution by a long shot, but seemingly the only one available with the FL1100 chipset required for native support.

If it's with a Mac you don't need any software.... just plug in to the usb and go. I bought two, though. The first one simply didn't work with my Mac for some strange reason and the second one worked fine.

One of the reviews claimed that there were unofficial Mac drivers that worked well. But I don't know from personal experience. Your best bet would probably be to Google it.

You have to get a separate one for now. The drivers aren't yet available on OSX. The bluetooth will work but you will have no wifi. I'm keeping mine in a drawer until it becomes available.

Yes, do not remember the situation with the driver. Plugged it in and it worked. I have since moved onto Mac, so I am no longer using this. Instead I use an SB1090 to drive my Logitech sound system, and it works awesum. Connects through USB hub.

Don't know what OS you run, I run Mac OS and I didn't install any drivers and it works fine. However, don't see why you couldn't download driver if you need it.

Hello. I does not require drivers in OSX apple. It does not work on Windows.

I only use Mac and it worked well although I had to go online to get the driver for OSX mavericks.

I'm pretty sure.. NO - you have to install drivers via disc or download to a laptop or PC, not sure if it's even Mac compliant, I think it's Windows based only.

Works on my 10.8.5 Mac, no need to install drivers. Plugged it in and the Bluetooth pane showed up in System Preferences, and easily paired with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse. It's Apple's recommended adapter in order for wake to sleep and other bluetooth features to work properly.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3940?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US

I know they don't officially support Macs but if i plugged it in using the usb cable would it recognize it or no. It's kind of a deal breaker for me so i was wondering if anyone had any info.Thanks!

I can not speak to Mac installation, as I hooked mine up to a PC. However, with my PC, there was no software installation at all. I simple connected it to the PC and I was off an running. I imagine the same would be true for your Mac.

Hello Wesley,Yes and no. You see there are MAC drivers for this scanner however if you are referring to the free software that comes with this scanner then, no, it does not work with a MAC computer. You see the free software is a Windows logon software only. Can you confirm what software you are trying to use?Thank you

I use it with both my iMac and MacBook Air (both bought this year). Had to download the driver software but no issues.
