Hi Everyone,I just received my second generation MinoHD yesterday and, sure enough, I'm having the same problem. It does not physically fit into any of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro 17". I submitted a support request, so, I guess we'll see where that goes. I suppose I'll run into the same issues as everybody else - a bunch of finger pointing and evasion with little resolution.

Very interesting! I talked to the company today and they insisted there must be something wrong with my USB port. So, I called Apple and they suggested I bring my macbook in to have the USB ports checked out. After reading your post, I think I'll cancel the appointment. By the way - do all the Flip models have the same USB connector? Rhonda

Hi Everyone,I am a Mac user. When the flip first came out, i went online to Mac blogs to find out if the flip was compatible. This was last year, so i cannot remember where on the internet. But all these techie gurus were stating that it wasn't very compatible. There were numerous bugs to iron out and not with the USB port.I was disappointed cause i liked the smallness, portability, etc. I don't know if the newer generations of Flip have changed, but judging by the comments, it doesn't seem like it has.Happy Holiday everyoneLJ

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of unhappy Flip Mino buyers here. The Mino's USB plug does not fit into either USB port on my MacBook Pro, so I'm returning it to get this instead: Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera (Black) NEWEST MODEL.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I was looking at the 120gb at the local Best Buy today. I thought I would get some assistance from a live person, who surely was well-informed on the merchandise. I asked the sales rep if the new one would fit in the old ones dock, etc. She said "Oh yes, it'll fit, sure it will. If it's the same size." Hopefully someone will come here and enlighten us!

I don't have a MacBook (but I have used macs in the past and like the ability to just plug something in and have it work - but would encourage you to look elsewhere for a good external USB drive - the one I got was a POS!

Hello, I really have no idea. I just popped it into my macbook pro. The only thing I'd have to say is that I am concerned that it is possibly starting to bulge like the old one did.

I installed the part myself. To be honest I don't remember if it was from apple or not. It's still working in my macbook and I haven't had any issues with it. As a matter of fact I'm using my macbook to respond to this question. Maybe the seller can answer this question for you. If you're wondering whether or not to trust this part of not, I would recommend any day. Like I said my computer is working just fine now.

A real USB stick is compatible with Mac OSX, but may need to be reformatted. IIRC Mac can read FAT32 format, but for larger sticks FAT32 isn't usually used. Buy a real USB stick from a reputable vendor (not this one!), and allow the Mac to re-format it when you plug it in.

Anastasia, Try some other USB device in the same USB port you are using this adopter. Coz in my Macbook Pro, I found one of my USB port is not working. Or try this in second USB port of your MacBook Air. and click on system preference go to network and see if it detects thunderbolt as device. May be it is not active there. Let me know if still is doesn't work.

The Flip Ultra HD and probably al other Flips work great with a Mac. I have used a simple 2008 MacBook, iMovie and iDVD to make my first tiny film and the results are stunning.

&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!!!

I just ordered this June 2nd and I have the new 13.3" Macbook Pro with Retina. This thing did not work for me and now I can't get a CD I put into it ejected. That would be because it's a piece of crap, not the laptop.

I wonder if the Amazon numbers are shipped size, perhaps. The actual keyboard is a bit over 18" wide and roughly 6.5" deep. Less than an inch thick.It's a nice keyboard with a small size, but fully functional. The only issue is that the F-Keys are not really functional as MacAlly did something weird with them that requires a driver, but they do not support newer Mac OS X releases. It works fine under 10.9.1 (which I am writing this reply under) but there is no way to use the special functions on the F-Keys or just make them work as normal F-Keys except by using the Fn key.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

This event surprised me, really. It is possible that the description of non-compatibility with Mac is made by mistake by the seller. If it were not intended for my MacBook Pro 13" late 2011 version, I would have not purchased the items. But the tandem 16GB DDR3 work fine with my computer. Just to make sure, I did re-check MacBook's System information, the memory is 16GB. And of course the improvement in speed and the number of simultaneous pages opened is observed, although I do not have the metrics. Just to be sure, do call the seller first and negotiate for a guarantee of refund for return - maybe you can get it before ordering. Also check the description of the memory cards in your system.

I am going to try mini iPad USB adapter at Apple store next. Nothing else that I got from Amazon worked. Plan on doing that next week. It looks iffy but it is the only thing left to try, and I have seen little to no info on this. I'll try it in the Apple store first and then let you know if if works ASAP.

Hi, David, We have six Macintosh laptops in our household, ranging from 2 500 MHz ice ibooks bought back in 2000 to a new Macbook and a new Macbook pro. All of them are still working really well, given their ages and what we've put them through. There have been some flaws, yes, but no more flaws than friends who have PC laptops have endured (and they're in worse shape than we are sometimes). We have gotten two lemons; my partner's Ti Powerbook had a manufacturing flaw that showed up causing the motherboard to short circuit, and my first Macbook had a literally warped case, which meant it cracked. However, those can happen to anyone and it was just bad luck as far as I'm concerned -- he bought his through the apple online store, I got mine in person at the apple store. Buy Applecare. ALWAYS. And never go to the Genius bar if you can avoid it -- it's named ironically. Applecare and the applecare 800 number are your best bet. The bigger test I think is the powerbooks and ibooks that are now 4 and 8 years old, respectively. They're all going strong. One's our file server, one's a music server for the house, one runs a linux test environment, and one's in my kitchen, serving as my recipe library and media etc center. They all get a lot of work, and other than all being restarted every sunday night at 8, they pretty much run continually. Of course they're out of battery, but that's to be expected. Batteries don't last forever. Good luck, and I hope this helped!

If I were to receive an item that was different than the packaging I personally would return it. As for it not responding to your Mac.....I do not know how to trouble shoot that as we have a Microsoft based system. Sorry I couldn't help.....FYI we purchased via Vendor Super Deal.....we had no problems.
