I have a mac computer. Will i need a particular program to transfer my photos from this camera onto my desktop?

not really, there is a default software in the Mac, just like in windows that can transfer photos to your Mac.

No, you can just connect it via USB and view all files just like any exterior drive

Yes, even though the I did not use the included software. Just plugged the sd card into my MBP. I find that it's easier than using the usb cable and plugging the camera into my MBP. Used iPhoto, and several other programs with this camera. I was put off at first at the 'plastic' feel and build, but this is a great camera period.

I have OSX Mavericks on my Mac, and all I did was plug the camera into the usb port, and iPhoto did the rest. No need to upload or download anything.

Thanks for all the answers. Actually, I googled this and found out I could just drop and drag files using the Computer screen and that it working great to transfer the photos.Thanks again.

I don't know that much about the Mac; however, the instruction for the camera indicate that it is Compatible with PC or Mac.

No answer, but my camera also will not provide signal for import to iPhoto on a Mac. This is recent. Help; help!

Not that I know of unless your computer has the capability in the photo program that you use.

Good question. I have just purchased the camera, because it has a short Mac section in the manual that seems to indicate that it is compatible. However, now that I've used it, i can't move the video to my Mac. Worthless!

So long as you have a basic imaging program (paint, photoshop) this is all you need . Once you have the images saved in JPEG, TIFF or a similar setting, you can just import it in, and the software does the rest!

For a Mac, I simply connect it to my computer and turn on the camera. It automatically up loads.

yes - I download to iPhoto on my iMac using the cable provided; works fine.

I have a Mac and download all the time. I download to hard drive and not to iPhoto, but I'm sure it would be no problem. I love this camera. It's my second "G", but I have had many Canon cameras and products.

Yes, the Image Browser software for MAC is available on the Canon website. You probably don't need it, as the newer Mac OS will usually let you import the files directly within iMovie

I didn't need to use the cd on the MacBook to get the camera functioning. What OS X version are you using?

This video transfer system works in tandem with your own projector and your own camera. Whether it is Mac compatible is dependent on what camera you are using to record and whether your camera can transfer digital information to your Mac software/hardware.

I am using it on Mac OS X 10.9.5 with "image acquire" see other questions. It will run.
