Will this work to store pictures from an old Mac OS X 10.3.9?

YES IF: IF PART 1 of 2: If the Fantom is not already formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" you may consider reformatting the drive to that format. BEWARE! Reforming the drive will destroy any other files you have previously saved! Once you have formatted the drive for Macs you will be able to save photos and whatever files from your Mac. PART 2 of 2: I do not know if you can save photos if the Fantom remains in another format? Possibly? You will need advice from Fantom or someone with more expertise than myself.

I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.4 and it works great with it. I use it as a backup disk with Time Machine.

I believe so, but until now we have just loaded pictures on an S-chip which inserts into the scanner (upside down), and then inserted it into the Mac. The pictures download into the Mac in this way without a problem

I am using it on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with "image acquire" see other questions. It will run.

Unless there is some oddity in those files there shouldn't be a problem. The "special" Mac-ness of this drive is that it is able to be used as a backup drive with Time machine - not all drives will support that. AFAIK

If the photos are super, super precious, you may think about burning them to a DVD for storage like others have mentioned. Hard drives of any sort, are always a bit more volatile (less robust) forms of long term storage than media like dvd, cd, tape, etc. But they're extremely easy and convenient to deal with, hence their allure. Like other's have mentioned, sample a few photos that you write there to be sure you may open them. Even try to open on some one else's mac.

It should. Format it as a Mac OS X (Journaled) file system using Disk Utility, and you should be good to go.I only use it as a Time Machine backup HDD, so there's no troubles there.

Yeah it should work, but I'd skip it. PATA is outdated, I only bought one of these to clone a hard drive for my PowerBook from the early 2000s. That and finding a bare PATA drive that's big enough to fit all the contents of a modern Mac with Time Machine will be difficult. And if that's not enough, after 20 or so minutes of continuous writing, this will get pretty hot. I say buy a dedicated drive.

Yes, but it's best to have at least 4GB of memory. In any case, it simply doesn't work well with OS X on any iteration of the Mac, and I couldn't recommend it for the Apple environment.

I guess I can't really answer this as I don't have a MAC. However, I'd think that if you can use any flash drive off the shelf for your MAC, this one would work as well.

I have a early 2009 MacBook Pro and the drive works perfectly. I hope that it will help you.

Remove the SDXC card from the video recorder. Put it in the SC card slot on the Mac.... BAM!! iMove, iPhoto, and other software that run on the Mac will use the data off the card. :) I have OS-10.9.3 running.

not really, there is a default software in the Mac, just like in windows that can transfer photos to your Mac.

Not sure, since I do not own a Mac computer. This question should be referred to the Seagate Customer Support.

Absolutely-I have a Mac. It comes with a memory card, I just download the pictures from there.

I have recently used it to backup all my photos and iTunes music from my Mac. But it comes setup for windows and has to be reformatted for a Mac. Not sure if you would lose your data.
