Hi Chezron, please refer on the link given below on how to set one of the camera's settings when transferring files using MAC. Please select PTP/MTP so that your Mac will recognize the camera. Hope this helps. -Ely http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSC-W710_W730_guide/eng/contents/07/02/11/11.html?search=mac

My iMAC has a slot in the back that the SD card fits. then it is just a matter of picking the pictures you want to transfer. I know this also works the same way with a Dell laptop. otherwise, use the cable that comes with the camera and plug it into an USB slot. either way, it is very easy.

You can download it onto a mac (that's what I use) by using either the memory card or the USB. Either works well to import into iMovie.

Where did you find the drivers. I have searched Canons website and can find no Mac drivers for this machine.

I have a Mac and download all the time. I download to hard drive and not to iPhoto, but I'm sure it would be no problem. I love this camera. It's my second "G", but I have had many Canon cameras and products.

Disregard my previous answer. I did find a firmware update for the Mac. http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36771/selected/true

I downloaded evocam, and could not figure out how to make it work with this camera.. not to say it won't, but it wasn't obvious to me.. I tried numerous settings with no luck. If you're looking for a Mac solution with this camera I would go with Security Spy.

Did you configure your SD card for PC? I have to configure mine for Mac. Did you try resetting it?

Yep, I have the same problem. Luckily, I connected the camera with the card in it, directly into my PC with the USB connector that came with the camera. The pictures downloaded just fine. I thought the card was defective until I saw your post.

The way i use it is I remove the Sandisc from the camera, plug it in the Mac, download the pics, erase from the disc and put back in the camera. Actually i have a couple of discs so when i go to check the camera I just swap discs. The Mac has a slot in the back to plug in the Sandisc, has worked very well for me. Very pleased with the camera. Hope this helps.

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

Yeah as long as your mac has USB, no problems at all. The software that comes with it, won't work. But software that comes with cameras is usually useless anyway

The camera acts like a flash drive when you connect it to the computer, and you can go into the folders and copy all the pictures and videos. They should all be there and copy easily. If you use the software for downloading there is a video option to download into that tool. I do it using drag using Windows Explorer and drop to MY PICTURES in the folder I like.

Buy a simple SD card reader (about $10.00) which allows you to use the Mac's USB port to transfer your pictures. No more silly cables...

I plan on purchasing a Mac laptop. Am I going to have problems downloading pictures with any of the Mac/laptop versions??

Incredibly easy, all you do is plug the camera into the USB port of the laptop and the computer should ask you which photos you would like to download --that's the story with my macbook at least! I didn't even have to install any special software. I assume inserting the camera's memory card into the computer would prove just as simple.
