I am having the same problem. It won't show up on my control panel and the computer won't detect it as a hardware device. I have some pretty important stuff on it too. I don't suppose you found out how to make it work since you posted this comment?

Here it is October 2010 and you are getting a reply to your Compact Flash item of last July 30th. I have a CF input device plugged into a USB socket in the back of my iMac G5. I insert a CF card (from a camera) into the input device and . . . And that's my problem. What next? What App do I use to move/download data from the CF to the iMac? From what I read, everybody does it. I am the only dense person who has not figured how it's done. PLEASE HELP!!!!! Frank at frdavis1@cox.net

I've never tried with any desktop (Mac or PC) yet. I think the Purpose of this device is an easy download to smartphones, tables, etc. you can always use it as a "normal" SD CARD and plug it into your desktop. I hope this will help. Pave

I have an iMAC and it works great (had it about 2 months). Very fast, easy to install. I don't know if there is a difference between the two computers. I'm connected via thunderbolt

Hi Rebecca, save YOUR MONEY, I bought it and installed on my iMac,it would let me print a 1/4 fold card but not give me a choice on printing the inside of a normal card. I had used the older version for a few years on my PC so when I switched to Mac a year ago I ordered the mac version and it did not work. You would think someone would test all phases of a program before they put it on the market. I returned it and did buy the PC version since I have Parallels on my iMac and can run PC programs. but I'd rather have the Mac version and just get away from the PC. Hope I was some help to you.

It is very easy to download images to either PC or Mac either by using the USB cable provided or by inserting the SD card directly into the card reader slot. It is useful to install the ViewNX2 software provided to assist downloads.

I have had the same problem with a 512Mb Sandisk micro SD. I'm using a usb card reader. At first it kept giving me an error that it could not read it. Now it won't even show up on my computer (Mac powerbook) Any luck finding a solution?

It or the micro sd card doesn't show up on the desk top and I've set it up, , formatted the micro sd card, calibrated it, scanned and it doesn't seem to work worth a diddley. I not to happy about wasting $52 as it stands. Anybody else with a Mac have this problem?

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

When I got mine I got a program called "PhotofunStudio". I believe you go to the icon that says "acquire" to download photos from memory cards or internal memory. You just use the supplied cable to connect the camera to the usb on your computer. If I remember correct, after you connect the camera to your computer, on the screen of the camera will be a couple of options of what you want to do. Just click on the option you want and that should be about it. Wish I could help more, but I use photoshop. With that I pick my option and open photoshop then go to "bridge" or "mini bridge" (don't remember offhand which) and click on the icon that looks like a camera and select the pictures I want saved.

Yes, I have OS X. You need a card reader that is compatible for your camera card. I have Aperture set up to open automatically when I connect a camera card. You could import into iPhoto. Should not be any problem to drag and drop from you camera card either. There is some software that comes with the camera that is Windows only. I think it had something to do with mapping where your photos were taken. That software is something I can live without, but still disappointing in this day and age for things not to be compatible with Mac.

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?

Are you asking if you can connect it to a Mac via USB and upload photos? Yes, you can. Are you asking if you can wirelessly connect and automatically upload photos? Yes, if you have Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later. Be advised that wireless setup is challenging. Also, you will be required to use Canon's Camera Window application to transfer images; it's impossibly slow, even on a current iMac. Here are the best instructions for wireless setup...what they don't say is that in order to do the first step, you must have an empty card...http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201649400.html

I don't know. I pulled the memory card out of my iMAC computer and then ordered more memory with the exact same look and numbers to match the existing card. Also; try a YouTube search for Memory installation on your exact type computer. That was the advice I got from the Apple Store and it worked out for me. I'm not a computer expert but I think it important to match what is already there. That way; you know it will work. In my case; I was adding 8GB more to the existing 4GB for a total of 12GB RAM for video work. Good Luck.

Mr Simons, yep, you'll have to buy a micro SD card. I recommend getting one that comes with a usb or SD card adapter so he can plug it into his mac to download the pictures. It won't plug directly into his iphone. Here's one I found on amazon that should work great for you: http://www.amazon.com/Sandisk-MicroSDHC-MicroSD-adapter-Mobilemate/dp/B003XKWLSS/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407210887&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+sd+card+with+reader

That's the beauty of Macintosh. Connect the camera via USB or insert the memory card into a reader and connect to your Mac. Import the file(s) into iMovie or other video editing software. Easy as pie!

I have it in my Macbook Air, but it is a regular flash card and would think it also fits in a PC laptop if you have a slot for this.

From what I've been able to determine, you have to have OSX 10.5 or above (which means you should be okay since you have 10.10.1) the thing is that the info also states that you need a software download for your Mac to properly see and utilize the flash drive (not sure if the download is provided by PNY, Apple, or a third party, the info does not stipulate). This is info that I acquired while searching, as while I own several Apple products, my main computer is a PC and not a Mac of any kind. Update, the info is from the PNY website, so there is a high likelihood that the download is provided by PNY.
