You probably need to format it so its compatible with your Mac. I'm surprised it didn't come that way, but best thing to do is try reformatting it in Disk Utility.

These work on our Macs. When you insert it it will appear as a DRIVE. Look for it in FINDER on the left, in the sidebar. Click on it and you be able to drag and drop files on to it.

My cruzer works fine on my Mac. If it does not show up on your desktop, open the hard drive. In the menu on the left, you should see an additional storage device. This will be below the Desktop, Document, and other locations.

You have to reformat to FAT32. NTFS, the default file system, isn't readable by MAC's.

I also have a MAC and I have VMWare installed so I can use Windows applications as well as Apple apps. When I insert the flash drive, a window pops up asking if I want it to load to MAC or Windows, and if I want I can check a box to always use the choice I make. Of course, sometimes I want to use it with MAC and other timew with Windows, so I just select the one I need at that time. Your situation sounds a bit different though, so I'm not sure if this answer helps you very much. Good luck.
