http://www.neatreceipts.com/mac - signup for the beta version, but no, there is no Mac version available yet.As Mac users are typically more willing to spend some money on quality products (PC users are generally penny pinchers), porting their app to the Mac definitely makes a lot of sense.

Is it a surprise that they don't (and won't) support Macs. I have both Mac and PC computers, because there just are not Mac owners out there to justify a company doubling their software budget to support both platforms. I use this on my PC and it is worth its weight in gold

NeatReceipts does not run on Mac currently (early Feb/2008), but on November 2007 they started a beta-testing program for the Mac OS version, so it may be on its way.

or you just use on the free services that are out there and do the same job... In www.shoeboxed.com 's case even with the same hardware (selling the scanner for $90 and giving you the software for free), working perfectly on a mac....

It does not work on the mac OS BUT you can get around that if you want to work on a mac. I bought parallels for Mac + Windows XP, which added a condsiderable expense to the already expensive scanner, but being a previously disorganized grad student, this scanner helped a lot. It was worth the money. If you use it this way, it will work just about as well as on a PC (I used it on a dell previously). Maybe if you upgrade to the new Mac OS, you'll be able to use bootcamp (which I believe is included) and then all you would need is a copy of windows to install.

Using an outside service to accomplish this is another alternative. The type of service is called business card scanning. Within a few days you can have all your business cards converted into an electronic database. Using the OCR for business cards helps with all your lead generation efforts.www.cardscans.com

I called Neat Receipts asking about the same thing. Short answer No. But they claim to be working on an Apple OS version - due out in the next 12 months. Don't hold your breathe - they told me the same thing last year. You can send an email to sales@neatreceipts.com and ask to be put on the notification list. I guess if enough people request it they'll actually put one out. I certainly hope so.

Hi! Not sure if it will work on mac computer as i coupled it with windows 8. It works fine but theres no scanning mode. Only fax, copy and print.

I have this device and use Mac OS Mountain Lion. The scanning feature does work as long as you install the driver (available on their website). The only feature the Mac does not allow for is the OCR feature.

Yes it works fine on windows machine. Gets confusing with the mac layout but it is really good.

Whatever you do DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER. It does not work on a mac, though it says it does, and mustek offers no driver support. Look through the reviews of this product and you will find many frustrated people who bought this for their mac and found it does not work. Buy an epson large format printer/scanner. They have many out there that scan 12x18 and are of a comparable price, and offer driver support for mac, windows, and linux

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

The guides only reference Windows. It may work with a Mac, but I don't know if you'll be able to use the scanner or fax machine through the Mac. Canon's site may have alternate software for Mac users. Good luck.

Works on windows system. But haven't tried on a mac. Sorry... If it's not working id try to return it and get a refund. Maybe a faulty unit.

I don't work with Macs in any of their versions, and althought owning an iPad and iPhone, my proficiency with those equipments are in the iCrawl stage. You might find some usefull answers in Fujitsu's site page: http://www.fujitsu.com/us/services/computing/peripherals/scanners/scansnap/s1100.htmlHoping to have offered any help.

Hi James. The device does work with a Mac, even without the software. When you scan without having a HD card plugged in, you'll just plug the scanner into a USB port and the drive will show up like an external hard drive. You can manually move the scanned files over. I don't use their software to organize my files. I prefer other programs, so I'm not sure of their software works with MAC but their website might say. Also, you can download their software when you register your product. I think they do this in case you loose your disc, but either way, it would work for your situation. Hope that helps!

I did not try it on mac, but when i was downloading an upgrade i saw a version for mac. It works fine on windows pc

I've looked on the side of my package and there is no mention of it being compatible with MAC. I don't have a MAC computer so I couldn't tell you if this device works with it or not. Typically before I buy any product, I make sure its compatible with windows 7 OS, and if there is no mention of or I can't run and older version I just move on to the next one. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

Apple sells this scanner on their website (and presumably in their stores) so I assume it works with OSX... but can't guarantee it :-)

I am a very technical person, and I could not get it to work on Win 7, or Mac OS X... on Win 7, they ripped off and modified another companies software, but then never did put the key code to access it with my purchase. There are a million hacks on the web, but nothing I rust enough to download blindly. In short, there's no reason it WILL work on any OS including Win 8 and there's no support for it to test.

Good luck. I have Apple and discovered this scanner does not work with Apple after purchasing it. I was not able to find that limitation in the description when I purchased it.

Yes, while other say the software doesnt work with mac if you actually look at everything on the download page you will find a place where you can download seperate software specificaly for mac. I dont have a mac to test this on but I dont know why they would put a download option for mac if it didnt work with macs.
