Hi Dr. K, Yes, this is definitely Mac compatible, for versions 10.1.5 on up, according to their product specs. Hope this helps - I plan to buy one of these myself, and I'm strictly a Mac person. -sasha

Howard, I found this camera to be unusable and sent it back. I bought the dlink DSC 5020L and it works great...Mac OS compatible too.

This camera works fine with my new Mac (OS X) - it just recognizes the camera like any other.Also worth noting, I stuck in a 2GB SD card, and it's working fine so far - although the manual says not to use any larger than 1GB. Not sure what will happen when/if I store more than 1GB of photos on it, but I can keep that from happening.Changing the date on the camera is my priority now (searching for a way to do this lead me to this discussion). Any pointers?

Dear friend,Did the software make your Sony DCR-SR42 compatible with your Mac? We're looking at purchasing the Sony ourselves?Thanks.Sincerely,Mac

Unfortunately Leda, I have not tried it on a Mac yet, but I do have a Mac in my "other" office (where I do video work) and I'll try and take it over there tomorrow and plug it in to see if it reads it. It's not a laptop, but a tower, but I would think it would be compatible with a Mac. I'll try and let you know what I find out.

I went on the Fisher Price site and it said this: Photo editing software is not Mac-compatible, but you can connect this camera directly to your Mac to transfer images.

I use mine on my Mac with iMovie software... iMovie is sooo easy to use compared to most, I would recommend it... Of course, you need a Mac!

Thanks for the answers I received. I did find out that with my IMAC (newest version) I was able to use IMOVIE. Works fine.

I don't know that much about the Mac; however, the instruction for the camera indicate that it is Compatible with PC or Mac.

David; I really don't know about the Mac, but I can tell you that I love that camera. It is always on whenever I drive, it is mounted behind my rearview mirror, so I don't even know it's there, and once you learn how the software works it's pretty simple to save any important scenes on an SD card. My only criticism would be of the users manual. It is not especially well done. But it can be figured out.

It is fully compatible with my Mac! Took it out of the box, plugged it it and burnt a dvd. No software, no complaints so far. OS X 10.8.2 2.44 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 gb ram

Hello Destiny. It actually doesn't work with macs. To be honest, I tried a number of things. However, the only option that I could see was to use the software while running VMWare or Parallels so you can run Windows on your Mac, and be able to allow this to work. However, if you're still looking to have something that works similar, but doesn't cost as much, here are some links that may be helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ or http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/ . These options use a Wii remote as an IR camera. I hope this helps :)

Ummm...why does everyone say it's not Mac compatible? I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard and iMovie imports the clips with the USB cable.

Sorry not certain I am Not a mac user. Email in a few days at fttvienna@aol.com and I can help you out. At this time I am out of town and can't supply much detail. As you may or may not be aware Video software capture and processing is a complicated process. MANY MANY products are out there. I purchased something on line that converts formats and MAC type was one of the. and there are many types of programs out there Camera came with software that stores video in three formats I had no issues with Storing and editing. You also have to piece all the points you create when you use Pause feature because camera creates a separate video clip each time you pause. Software supplied with camera does handle that

It is mac compatible. You can use imovie with it, just like the original Vado.

I do not own a Mac so I cannot promise anything, but the camcorder did come with a Digital Video Solutions Disk for Macinstosh so I would assume it must work with Macs since it comes with a Mac CD.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your question. If I was in your situation, I would write to the manufacture, in this case Macally, and ask them your question. I do not know how compatible this webcam is with older apple computer systems. I hope you good luck in your quest. Happy Thanksgiving.JoseMaple Heights, Ohio
