Here it is New Year's Eve and I just saw your post. I am running exactly the same system you have and have the same questions. Looks like noone has the answers. Kathy

I managed to get it to work after quite alot of messing around.Move the 'open source' folder on the macam download into the quicktime folder ASWELL as the .component.I had to re-Re-install skype and maccam, and presto! seem to be much better quality than the iSight i also have benn loaned..

I use with PC. The factory spec say it is compatible with Mac. One of the amazon stores is much cheaper on the price. It's a bulk camera without install CD. But I prefer to go to the logitech web site and download the latest version anyway and never use the CD. Save money!

I use it with my Mac Pro, however I use my Logitech C920HD more often. The image is quality of the iSight is ok. It is really elegant, however compared with the quality of more modern webcams the iSight is pretty, the picture quality is ok.You will have to find a driver, it is available it just will take some searching on the Apple Website.

The Pixela software referenced by C. Suntra did the trick for me, although it does require that extra step of interpreting the footage into iMovie-friendly format. I've gone back and forth about keeping or returning the camera since it's not Mac-friendly, but have decided to keep it. I've learned that there really aren't any current hard drive camcorders on the market that are Mac-friendly. The Amazon price was the best I found after shopping around.

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

Never wanted to do that but I found a pretty good web link that tells you how to it.http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/webcam-c160?osid=14&bit;=32Good luck with it.

Yes, there is a OS X driver available from the manufacturer. It works great for iMovie and FinalCut.

I am running it with Windows 7 32-bit without any issues. I did download the webcam software from Logitech, I have v12.10.1113. The drivers are 12.10.1110.

Hey Fung, I bought the Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Deluxe (B). I have a iBook G4, OS X version 10.4.11, and downloaded macam hoping I could web-cam with family in the USA (calling from New Zealand). Macam shows me the picture, and has no sound, but the macam is not supposed to be a conference program..just the driver. Hope this helps. I can;t get it to work with skype...I would be wary of buying this model. Hmmmm so I re-installed skype, macam AND moved the macam source folder into library/quicktime folder, aswell as the instructions to move the .component over.. and it just worked!

I'm a PC user, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with a Mac Pro... It's generic, so any stock drivers should handle it.

I got this cam as a gift for my parents and they have a mac,i believe running OS X. they've had no problems pulling images off the memory card

I have used this camera on my emac for a year or two. It came with a Macam disc, but this program is easily downloaded. I was trying to source a webcam for a friend and I got an ancient logitech but with the macam softwear it came on straight away.Pat (Australia)

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?
