Mac compatible? i'm trying to get this to work on my son's mac G4. should it just plug in and work with iPhoto like a removable disk?

iPhoto on my older G4 recognized the camera, no problem, but I switched to using Image capture to download them b/c the photos weren't last in the iPhoto library like they should have been. Haven't seen any mention of how to change the date on the camera but maybe the software lets you?

Often, the Mac will simply just work with devices, but at least one reviewer has already tried it with some disappointing results. However, it is likely that if you set it to save files into the SD card, you could import the files from the disk into iphoto. I use iphoto only rarely, but under linux, digikam automatically recognizes that drives added that have lots of picture (sd cards from cameras for example) and will offer to load the pics into digikam. I believe the same is true for other linux-based photo management programs, and I would only expect iphoto to equal or best the linux programs, although I could be wrong....

We use it for my iPhoto drive, as I have so many pictures I do not have enough space on my MacBook Pro.Is this what you meant?

I have a Kidizoom camera and could not get my two Macs to recognize it or mount it. I have an Intel G4 and IMac G3.

No, it is not compatible. I found this information on one of the reviews for the product by searching for "mac" in the "search customer reviews" section at the bottom of the review section.

I am having concerns about this too--ready to click purchase, but it sounds like a real headache to get into iPhoto. Did you ever get a response from Nikon about how to do this?If not, what are you doing? Connecting the card reader to the mac, copy-paste the files, then manually import to iPhoto to create libraries?Seems a bit like going back in time. My ancient Sony CyberShot P&S; works great with iPhoto.

I downloaded their driver, etc from the canon site online and didn't install the software from a cd - maybe you could do that instead of trying to work with a cd - I have a mac mini and they work well together.

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 just checked another seller's description of this device, which indicated it is compatible with a Mac with OSX 10.4 version or later. I use a IMAC too, and needed to know this information before making my purchase of this item. Hope this helps you.

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!

I haven't been able to get it to work with OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. It or the micro sd card doesn't show up on the desk top and I've set it up, , formatted the micro sd card, calibrated it, scanned and it doesn't seem to work worth a diddley. I not to happy about wasting $52 as it stands. Anybody else with a Mac have this problem?

This camera works fine with my Mac (Mini running Leopard) to download pix into iPhoto. It just shows up as a drive like other digicams. The web cam function does NOT work on the Mac though.

Not compatible with MAC yet. Spoke with Technical support this morning. They mentioned the next model would be MAC ready. They are currently working on the MAC compatible updates.

I got one but can't access it on my Mac. I know the Mac can "see" it sitting on the USB port, but it doesn't mount it as a volume or do anything else which would let me access its files. Looking for a workaround.

I also have a MAC and the P80 and my pictures and videos are uploaded to IPhoto with no problems. In fact it is very simple to do.

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