Do these work with a Macintosh? Without downloading a bunch of patches?

the Flip Mino HD has a lot of problems connecting with the Macs. Has anyone had a trouble connecting the usb on the Ultra?

As to whether Flip video recorders work with mac, have no fear. Everything works fine on my Mac. Even the FlipShare movie editing software works fine (contrary to early test reports) My only gripe is that the newest update to the FlipShare software doesn't work on my legacy PowerPC chip Macintosh. You must have the newer Intel processor Macintosh to use the latest and greatest Flip software.

Thx for the update. We now agree the Flip works just fine w/the Mac, and especially iMovie. We made a bunch of quite amateurish uploads on a fun site that shows how this looks. See www.mytripjournal.com/beartrek10Tom

it has issues connecting with the software on mine, but you can get into the camera and import the files into imovie

As long as your computer can play back MP4 files (which all modern Macs in the past 5 years usually can) you can use these on a Macintosh computer.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a very helpful answer here. There's a suggestion that mino has "connection problems", which may or may not include "ultra". I'm not sure if or why there would be any difference if the software is the same. My general understanding from searching the web on this topic is that at least the 2d generation flips *should* work normally with late version macs (hardware & OS), but that their movie editing functions are not mac compatible. A suggestion above is that iMovie might render that less significant.

I use Mac OSX 10.6.8 and 10.10 Mountain Lion with no problem; plug and play.

someone on a message board mentioned downloading something to make it compatible and it worked fine on their mac.

Yes, been using the included software on a Mac for 3 years. I'd assume if the included software doesn't work on your computer, there's a different program that will.

Yes, they do work on mac's. I've used them on my mac, my pc and my android phone. I've made phone calls and skype calls. Great sound.quality

You dont need to install a software to use it with Mac, they are compatible.

Yeah, that's what I use is windows 8. Plug them in, and you will have to restart your computer, then they work fine.

They are formatted for for PC but work fine with MAC - you could use Disk Utility to reformat them for MAC if you wanted to but there is no real reason to do so

sorry, i really dont know. i use mac osx 10.6.8. from what i've read on it you can get drivers/format it for windows, but i'm not sure which.

I downloaded their driver, etc from the canon site online and didn't install the software from a cd - maybe you could do that instead of trying to work with a cd - I have a mac mini and they work well together.

Yes, these have native drivers supplied by Apple in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and newer.

Like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini? Or an iMac? They all will work as long as you have the appropriate adapters.

These are from 2005. No, they will NOT run Mavericks. I think "Panther" OSX 10.5 is the most recent they will run.

Yes. You have to first download the drivers or what they call on their site the "Engine" for your PC/Mac.

Yes you can, just make sure to install drivers if your Mac don't have them installed.

Yes, these would work with either Mac or PC. Download a Mac template from Avery's site.
