Use with Mac If someone could help please. Does this camera work easily with a Mac? It says it does not autostart - is that problem? Thanks - I am looking for a 10 year old and it needs to be easy.

Please help as I'm still a little new to the Mac world. I dragged the files to iMovie but their just blank--I hear the audio but not visual. I did update to iLife 08. Would the DivX plugin help?

iMovie 06, NOT iMovie 08. If you upgraded to iLife '08, don't waste your time or money.

You can download from Apple the previous version of iMovie (iMovie 06). Imovie 08 does not work, but Apple offers a free download of the old version to purchasers of iLife 08.http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.htmlI hope this helps.

It's no problem. The included software doesn't launch automatically with Mac, you have to install it.But on my MacBook, I don't bother with the included software. Just drag the files to your Mac and you can play them in QuickTime, or import them into iMovie to string together and make movies.

Just to make sure I am clear-- to get this to work, I need to go back to Imovie06? Do I uninstall 08 (it came on my new macbook) and then install 06?Sorry, I am so not technical and am used to the mac just figuring it out. Thanks for your help!

yes the WebCam does work with a Mac, but no the software does not so you will lose some functionality such as the ability to turn the camera and use the zoom features. But they may have compatibility patches or software for it. I'm not certain

Well I didn't have any luck making it work on any OS. They sent it with a third party software, the disk had a corrupt file and when I googled it for a fix it directed me to download it from another site. It's basically spam ware and opened up my computer to the free world. In researching it a bit I think lots of others users experienced the same issue. I would look elsewhere for a camera.

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!

I do not have a Mac but I have cut and pasted the whole folder files on the camera onto my PC and it transferred in seconds or minutes depending on how many pics I took. I would definitely buy this camera again. I don't even know how to use a point and shoot anymore :). It's perfect when I don't want to drag around the 7D or 5D but it takes really great pictures. I have done time lapse on it using a remote. I take it more on day trips and parties. Where I want the nice quality with some control. Its not my big cameras for sure but it's a wonderful little buddy to them.

This camera works fine with my Mac (Mini running Leopard) to download pix into iPhoto. It just shows up as a drive like other digicams. The web cam function does NOT work on the Mac though.

The Pixela software referenced by C. Suntra did the trick for me, although it does require that extra step of interpreting the footage into iMovie-friendly format. I've gone back and forth about keeping or returning the camera since it's not Mac-friendly, but have decided to keep it. I've learned that there really aren't any current hard drive camcorders on the market that are Mac-friendly. The Amazon price was the best I found after shopping around.

Works very well with a Mac computer. The camera is also easy as a Mac to use! The videos can be used in iMovie.

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

I just bought this camera, plugged it in today to my Macbook Pro, used the dv/firewire cable. It works fine with iMovie with no tweaking. But downloading is in actual time, so slow. just rewind your tape, put the little wheel on view and hit import.

I doubt that you will ever find a digital camera that does not work with a Mac (OS X and later). Macs were the first to use USB and tend to be the choice of most serious photographers and graphic artists.

Myrna, Have you gotten your camera, yet? If so, what do you think of it? This would be my first digital camera, and what attracts me to this is that it has manual controls. I would be learning photography on it, so I figure I should have manual and auto controls. I am looking to get a Panasonic because a sales person at Best Buy raved about them and said they have the best lenses. To be honest, I know practically nothing about photography, but have had an interest in it for many years. Do you think this camera would be a good plact to start, at least digitally? Thanks, M

Well I think it's ok but it freezes. My other cam froze too . I think it's the Mac mini not the cam; I have a mini , so I think the cam is ok. I read a bit and people say it's the card in the mini that causes it. I don't know, but u Cannot change the card in the mini. If u know a cam that works better, let me know, thx

It works with both windows 7 and mac if you just read the manual and load the windows 7 driver. I use windows 7 at work and mac at home and have two of these cameras, both of which work with both computers. I will acknowledge that it is more consistent with the MAC than windows 7 but it does work with both.

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.
