I have an iMac with OS 10.6. Do you think it's worth downloading mountain lion or are basically the same features available on the Lightroom 4?

If your iMac will support it, I think you should upgrade to Mavericks. As to whether you need LR5, check this article for the new features in LR5. I never ran LR before V5 so I can't quantify how much better LR5 is than LR4. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/whats-new.html

Yes, this drive will work with Lion and Snow Leopard regardless of how it attaches to the computer (USB or Firewire). Chances are, you'll attach via USB and it will work fine. If you see the word "Studio" in name, it's formatted by default to work with the Mac right out of the box.

Don't bother. Highly specialized apps (like those in CS3) you want to run natively. And the mac version is very good. Call Adobe; they DO offer a cross-platform upgrade (there is cost, but it's significantly less than buying a new product). You'll be much happier in the long run, and save time running them natively.

Mac OS 10.6 or newer - I have been using it with Lion for 18 months with no issues.

It came with software that made it compatible with my MacBook Air running OS X v. 10.8.4 Mountain Lion. The company emailed the software to me, though I think it may now be available on their website if it's not packaged with the device.

You are welcome! My advice: buy $29 disk of Snow Leopard OSX 10.6, and go online and keep upgrading the system software to 10.6.8. Stop there. OS 10.6.8 is the most stable OS Apple ever created. Mavericks and Yosemite are awful. MB404LL/A loves OS 10.6.8.

You can use it with any Mac over Leopard. Just plug it in and select it under "camera" in photobooth. I'm sure you can use another app but photobooth was simple and quick.

If you have a recent version of OS X (I think, it's Mountain Lion or higher), it just works. Not sure about Lion.

Yes. The Mac version is (obviously) formatted to be fully compatible with all Macs. You can very easily format it to an exFAT file system (look for tutorials online) to make it work seamlessly with any modern Mac AND Windows computer. BTW, consider upgrading from Mountain Lion to the latest OS X Mavericks. It's easy and free.

Yes I use it with my iMac via USB along with lightscribe printing software.

You may have already made your decision Juan...if so, disregard. Specs on the HP 610 may be better, but it isn't made to the quality of the iMac. There is a reason photographers gravitate towards Macs...color reproduction for one. You'll appreciate the extra resolution that the iMac's 27 inch screen gives you, the touchscreen will mean very little. You can add memory cheaply to the iMac, but even as a photographer 8GB should be fine...can always go to 32GB later. Get a flash drive as your main drive if possible...it really speeds system and application boot times....however, you'll have to custom configure through the Apple Store for that. Note, there isn't anything wrong with the HP 610...if you're going to game, for example, it may be a better option. Or, if you have a lot of money invested in Windows programs. However, you can run Windows on the Mac if necessary. Considering your needs, I believe an iMac is a better choice. My $0.02.

bought mine Saturday, came with old leopard (but i bought snow leopard)best macbook pro ever. snow leopard really makes it come alive (with speed)my adobe and pro apps load up with the greatest of ease (it's scary how fast they run now), heck, even firefox doesn't slow down the system anymore! (though it does take it's time)and now you can add more than 10 items to you dock (when dragging a folder down), soo awesome!

Not if you really want to enjoy all the features. Runs great on 27 in iMac 2013 with all graphics turned up. In case you're thinking of upgrading.

The drive works well on my system, an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mountain Lion). I did a quick online search and found users reporting no problems using OS 10.5 (Leopard) and several versions in between. Check your OS and search for the drive and your specific OS

None as of yet. All is working well. I was concidering going to Mountain Lion, but after reading the reviews, I don't think so.

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!
