Yes, but it takes some effort. I am still investigating other approaches. Using QuicktimePro ($30) with additional "QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback" ($20) and "MPEG Streamclip" (free but requires the Quicktime MPEG2 extension to read MPEG2 files), I can use iMovie/iDVD. Last night I copied 5.6 GB of video ( ~90 minutes of best quality recording on the camera) in 139 files to the Mac (~8 minutes to copy), then used MPEG_Streamclip in batch mode to export them all to .DV format. This just takes a 5-10 minutes to initiate but the actual conversion took a little under 3 hours on 1.5 Ghz G4 Powerbook. I used the "No Interlace" and "split for iMovie" settings. This resulted in 139 .DV files using ~17 GB. I created a iMovie project then quit iMovie. I then dragged all the DV files into the Media directory within the project. I then start iMovie and it tells me it found 139 files and asks me if I want to move them to the Clips. I say Yes and from then on it's the no different than if I had imported the video using more conventional means. I am still using iMovie5 so the procedure may be different with later versions. iMovie08 has direct support for this camera, though I haven't tried it and there are some complaints about iMovie08. It's reportedly easier to use but with less capabilities than iMovie06. It also won't run on G4 processors. Is it worth the hassle? It's a little early to tell, but this camera is replacing a Digital8 for which media is harder to find, and I liked the capability to record more than 60 minutes. PS - Using just QT Pro and the MPEG2 extension, it is possible to play the video files directly on the Mac. The conversion to DV format is necessary only if you want to edit them using iMovie. You can play them directly off the camera if the camera is mounted as an external HD.

No problem. It should work right out of the box. If not, then you just have to couple it with your apple TV but all of mine have just worked.

I have used several Flash based music systems via the USB port and they worked fine - not sure if Apple is supported though.

The mic will work but the vol and middle button will only work for listed apple products on the Sony website.

It works great with Apple files, lossless and otherwise. Unfortunately, I have no answer to your specific question.

IF the latest Apple anything uses standard HDMI cable interfaces it will work with the Apple TV. I personally have nothing made by Apple in my home. These cables are impressive in their quality and you will not be disappointed with your purchase if you choose to go with this vendor.

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?

What softward did you use? I am wondering if it will work with an apple, using IMOVIE?

Linda, I recommend you check the Nerf website for an answer to your question. We only used it with our iPad so I'm not sure if the software connects to anything non-Apple. Good luck!

You can listen to music on non apple devices, and the mic will work too, but the in-line controls only work with Apple.

I'm not sure. I only have apple products. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

I am not sure how you will connect to Sony S port, unless you have connector which converts Apple port to Sony port. I am just using it with iPod classic 160GB and it works excellently well. Sorry I could not answer your specific query.

I believe it's better to ask Sony, for me I use it with iphone 5 and it works perfectly
