Works fine in my MacBooks. Just a little awkward due to the small size. Make sure you've got it turned the right way and push it in.

You need a mini to micro adaptor. I have a Samsung S3 and I used this one: Insten 90 Degree USB 2.0 A Female to Micro B Male Converter Host OTG Adaptor CableYou will need something similar but compatible with your device.

Do you have another computer that you can try to insert the Movestick? I've heard of people having difficulty removing USB devices from a MacBook, because the retainers catch the small square holes in the USB plug. It could be that these same retainers are preventing the insertion of a USB device. Do other USB devices like memory sticks insert into the same port on the MacBook?

If USB is still available in the Windows platform, this will work. I've used it. You may need to find a driver for it, but it absolutely worked for me on my macbook air in the windows platform.

I second jMac62103's reply. I have also looked for adapters with no luck as of yet.

The USB drive should be recognizable by any device with a USB Port. the only thing that would be incompatible is if you have a proprietary file type exclusive to Mac trying to run it on Windows. Files like pictures, videos and such should all be fairly universal and transfer with no issues.

I don't know. I have a USB connection too. Maybe call apple support, or go to an apple store.

Try other USB ports. U need to have a powered one. Especially important on MacBooks. Otherwise if mute is off u have a dud. Try another computer just to be sure.

There are a couple of things to look into. First I would see if it is a usb 2.0 or usb 3.0 (area you insert would be blue) might even be a usb 1.0 or usb 1.1 slot. If possible try plugging in an external hard drive that uses usb power and if that hard drive does not detect than the slot is not usb 2.0 or higher and the issue would be the slot you are using. Also make sure you have all the usb drivers loaded on the computer you are using. If you go to the Kingston webpage and look up this drive, they will have 8 steps to try to make sure the drive is working well. If not they also have a great return policy.

The way I see it, if you can plug a flash drive into your Mac, and you can use it, then there is no reason why the Docking station won't work as well. Your MAC will just see it as another drive, providing you have a hard drive inserted...

If it has a USB plug-in, and there was nothing that I had to download like you do with printers and other devices for the computer. All I did was plug it into the USB port and it immediately worked. Was VERY simple! So I would say IF your Mac has a USB port, WHY NOT?!

I got one but can't access it on my Mac. I know the Mac can "see" it sitting on the USB port, but it doesn't mount it as a volume or do anything else which would let me access its files. Looking for a workaround.

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.

As long as the usb3 plug which works on my Windows Laptop is the same on MACs/ Apple---which I think it is--you should have no problems.You can always have Amazon send you a return # for shipping back to them if you are not happy. Know its only for usb3. USB2 plugs will fit into USB 3 hub--not the other way around. USB3 is a bit more temperamental. I thought something was wrong when it said surge in hub twice----I realized if I unplugged everything and then put it back together--one plug at a time---it corrects/ resets itself. This is great because it stops your 'puter' from taking the surge hit. I bought this because a surge blew my USB2 hub when putting USB3 things into it.

Can you be more specific? If the pins aren't lining up: This is for a SATA style connector. If you have the much older IDE style connector, you'll need to find another enclosure. Otherwise, the install should be straightforward. How old is your macbook?

Mac Pros tend to have problems with USB 3 devices. Suggest a good USB 3 expansion card like SIIG and an extension cord. Hubs seem to have lots of problems. Also repartition the drive as GUID and use HFS+ formatting.

They do not fit unless you prop up the macbook (or any slim laptop) on a book or let it hang over the side of a desk. You can't insert the usb drive if the laptop is in the middle of a desk.

I have it plugged in to a MAC Powerbook. It is USB 2.0, I see no reason why it would not work.
