Has the problem been rectified? If it won't plug and play with Mac it is useless to me!

Must be your problem since many MAC users are very pleased. so I would guess....Yes, it most certainly WILL.

Very frustrated. When I first bought this microscope, OMAX was willing to call me after hours and said that they would do everything possible to help me get this running. Now, no one is willing to call me after hours and no one seems to professionally care whether I get it working or not.

I use a Mac, but I am pretty sure it will work with windows. You might have to format it the first time you use it.

I have installed the software without much trouble, but only on a Windows PC. I have doubt that it will work on a Mac.

I have two of these. One is used on a Windows machine and the other on an iMac. Both works flawlessly. I've also used it on my Macbook.

I've tested in Mac, Win 8, Win 7... So it is for sure it works in all OS. There are many programmers & debuggers, but try mplab X. It manages this device very good, always as a PicKit2... Hope my experience get useful

I, too, have a Mac and a Windows. I've ended up having separate hard drives for each. Most of my data--years and years of documents and images--are on my Windows computer. I got the Mac because I needed a laptop and didn't want to get Vista. My experience is that I can plug the Windows hard drive to the Mac and it will recognize and read just about everything. The PC, on the other hand, will not recognize the drive from the Mac (at best) or will have a blue-screen tantrum (at worst--so far).

The box says it is compatible with both Mac OS X (10.5 or later) and Windows (Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008). I don't have a way to test if I plug it in to a Mac to see if it just works from one to another. I have read, however, that you may be able to do this with any drive by installing certain programs on your Mac. http://forum.notebookreview.com/apple-mac-os-x/192574-copying-mac-files-pc-external-hard-drive.html

Yes, it works fine with a Mac. I purchased one about a year ago. A bit of fiddling with adjustments and I've been getting very good scans.

I have a PC so I can't help with this question. I can say that I've read reviews of similar cameras that were purchased by Mac users and subjectively I would say that they seemed happy with it and had a relatively easy time using it with Mac. I'm not familiar with the various Mac programs so I can't tell you which to use to operate but if you search reviews for other endoscopes you'll probably find something helpful. There are 5 or 6 others that are very similar and run on the same program.

I assume it's compatible with either PC or MAC...however, I sent mine back because it didn't perform as advertised.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for asking! Yes, however, Macs have Photo Booth built in which works well, for Windows 8 has a built in camera viewer program. We recommend the MicroCapture software that our Microscope comes with.

The unit itself is USB and will work with any USB enabled device. You will need drivers and a program which will allow you to use it. Take a look at Measurement Computing website www.mccdaq.com to see if they have anything for Mac. You can also search for third party implementation. If everything else fails then Parallels, or Boot Camp may be the solution as it will allow you to run Windows on Mac.

It does not work on the mac OS BUT you can get around that if you want to work on a mac. I bought parallels for Mac + Windows XP, which added a condsiderable expense to the already expensive scanner, but being a previously disorganized grad student, this scanner helped a lot. It was worth the money. If you use it this way, it will work just about as well as on a PC (I used it on a dell previously). Maybe if you upgrade to the new Mac OS, you'll be able to use bootcamp (which I believe is included) and then all you would need is a copy of windows to install.

The Mac disk that came with the S1500M was readable under Parallels and contained drivers for running the S1500. These drivers work just fine for running the S1500M under Windows XP. It seems to work a bit better or more reliably than the Mac software :-)
