Has anyone else found that this port is causing their Mac to restart randomly? Any idea why it's doing that?

Just to throw in my 2 cents here, the Disk Utility reformat mentioned above in Andrew's post is spot-on. The drive so far as been great to use. However, I'm running Mac 10.5.6 and it was immediately recognized when I first plugged it in: it mounted and Time Machine asked if I wanted to use it for backups... I did the reformatting anyway as the apps on board are no use to a Mac owner. BTW, the $99 price was unbelievable! Fingers crossed on reliability, Yikesboy

HI :) I use this on my iMac and never have any issues ! I don't see why you would either ? This is my second one ( had the first one for over 4 years and never had a problem) I would recommend it :) John

Yes, I have it running under a mixed environment and it is working well. It is acting as a access point and Macs and PC connect through it.

A.J., Thanks for your post, I have just done the same thing and it works a treat. My Mac picked up the Seagate drive on the desktop with no bother. Seems like the case and heat issues are letting Seagate down here.F

It did for me. Just sometimes when u restart your computer it didn't recognize the drive. I had to unplug it then re plug it. But I have a Mac so. Maybe that's why??

J.M., I have researched this and have no answer for you. I, too, own one of these and love it. It is beautiful and, as another MAC owner stated, am thinking of ordering another as backup. Wish to have been of more help. Enjoy, Robert

I wish I knew what was happening. I installed this with Yosemite (not having seen the incompatibility stated) and it worked fine. Then last week, it just stopped working. Tried new slot and still no dice. So even if it works right away, be aware that the card can stop working. My system report shows the card, it just won't recognize or mount any drives.

&lt;http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html&gt; Go read this good article. Turns out Apple caused some confusion (but in a good way as far as functionality) by making the newer Thunderbolt port the exact same physical connection type as the older Mini Display port. But here is the good news, for newer Macs for which this port is advertised as Thunderbolt, the port is "backwards compatible" as a Mini Display port. It is also useable as strictly a Thunderbolt port. So yes, this cable will work for hooking up your Mac Mini 2012 to a HDMI TV via the Thunderbolt port. Thank God Apple did this. Especially since the 2012 Mac Mini uses the Intel 4000 GPU which has a flaw that manifests itself in the Mini's HDMI output. This cable provides a nice workaround until Intel/Apple issue new drivers to fix this problem (which has been publicly acknowledged by Intel/Apple). Enjoy!!!

Hello - not being a Mac person I do not know for sure but I would be very surprised if it did not. You might not even have the issue I had with the not booting. I would Google My Book on Mac Pro - good luck

I have a MacBook. There is no port for it. I was able to connect using an AppleBox.

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.

I have no experience using this with a MAC, you could contact PC magazine, they might have a review on this.

mine does not work at all...it worked one time with my mac and then died...I am in Europe now and can not return it otherwise it would be returned. My suggestion is do not buy.

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.
