Mac compatible? I'm wondering if the Canon Pixmas have a Mac driver, and if so, if they are compatible with the new Mac OSX/Leopard?

I can't speak to Leopard, but I have an aging TiBook 1GHZ running OS 10.4.10 and the "driver" and Canon software installed without a hitch. So yes, it is Mac compatible. All functions work great and I haven't found any that don't work. I even print to it wirelessly using IOgear GBU221WM bluetooth adapters.

Hi Judy.I have used the Canon pixma ip3000 on several Macs. One was a G3 iBook. One was a G4 Emac. Currently I use it with my new imac intel duocore. NEVER had a problem. I did have some problems matching up color in Photoshop but that is all. With my new iMac, I didn't even have to install the software!!! I just plugged the printer into my apple wireless thingie (sorry forget name of it) and my computer recognized it! It doesn't give me detailed ink info, etc, though but I know it will once I install the software. BTW, I am one OS below Leopard, Tiger I think. Good luck!

Thank you, Ellen. Your information is helpful. I'm probably going to go for the Canon 810 instead of the 600. With your and MLipenk's feedback, I believe I can now move forward on this with confidence.

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.

Don't know about Mac comparability. I do know that I didn't like the camera. Instructions weren't intuitive. And for things as simple as the delete button it was impossible to find. I sent it back and bought a Canon instead. Much happier

I use it with Windows, but I checked the operating manual. Under the section called Included Software, PDF Manuals it lists the system requirements for both PC and Mac. The Mac section lists the following requirements: Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 Computer: Computers running one of the above operating systems (preinstalled), with an included USB port and Internet connection Processor: Core Duo 1.83 GHz or higher (still images), Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz or higher (movies) RAM: 1 GB or more (still images), 2GB or more (movies) Interfaces: USB Free Hard Disk Space: 550 MB or more Display: 1024 x 768 resolution or high It then says to check the Canon website for the latest system requirements, including supported OS versions. I hope this helps!

All the major camera companies camera will work with macs. Take pictures..plug it in to your mac...and iphoto will take over !!! My family ONLY uses macs, and our Sony, Nikons, Canon, and Samsung Xacti all work GREAT with macs.

I don't use MACs. However, Canon's web site indicates support for quite a few MAC OS's, including 10.3 Panther, See http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/scanners/canoscan_series/canoscan_lide_30#DriversAndSoftware

In general, Lexmark and Canon make USB inkjet printers that work well with both Windows and Mac. IMPORTANT: while most of their USB printers are Win+Mac compatible, a few of them are not. If possible, try to find out either by walking into a store and finding the compatibility on the box or reading comments or checking the manufacturer's webpage about the printer. For instance, this URL is for the Canon Pixma MP495. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mp495 Click on "Specifications". Roughly 2/3 down the webpage you'll find "OS Compatibility". I haven't tried HP on an Apple product and I keep finding very mixed reviews about their Mac drivers, but apparently Apple thinks they're good; I spec'd out a new iMac yesterday and the top 3 recommended printers were all Hewlett Packard. I guess it's because only HP is using AirPrint at the moment. I haven't checked Epson in a few years but my experience with them is that they make excellent Windows printers but the Mac drivers from Epson are horrible and will cause you to hate your printer. (I'm hoping they've fixed this but if they have I haven't heard about it.) Good luck!

Don't need any software at all for Mac.. works very well with Photo Booth. Try it.

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.

Absolutely! I have mine hooked up to a Mac and it works great! However, depending on what version of OS X you are using (anything newer than 10.6.8) you may have to go to the Canon web site to get the latest software and drivers.

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/laser_printers/imageclass_lbp6200d#DriversAndSoftware There are several versions of drivers for Mac OS, from the newest Mavericks all the way back to Mac OS 8?! Once you have the drivers installed (your Mac may do it for you automatically), you can print to this printer. And yes, I am answering this question from experience.

Well, the consensus of those who responded is that it works with Macs, if drivers are installed, on OS X 10.5.8 "and up". That last bit has me, though. I currently own a Canon MP600 that is totally useless (and the reason I am looking to buy another printer). Why? Because I upgraded the Mac OS (I'm at 10.8.5, 'Mountain Lion') and discovered Canon does not support that OS. So if you are a Mac user who upgrades the OS from time to time, beware! You may be buying a printer that will be obsolete to you in a relatively short time. Shame on you, Canon!

Yes this will work. But you need to realize that you need to put the CD into your computer to install the drivers. A CD comes with all Pixma printers. They won't download off of the website. Please double check around your home to find the installation CD that came with your printer and insert it into your MacBook and then let it install and try seeing if it will recognize your printer before you buy this because you might not even need it.

im not a MAC user, but according to Genius there's a driver for MAC OSX, i cant confirm if its compatible whit those specific version of the MAC OS (http://www.geniusnet.com/wSite/ct?xItem=53323&ctNode;=174 ) , in my experience Genius tech support its great and the best wayto know if it works whit snow leopard is to ask them

Don't have a MAC. Sorry. &#9825;&#9825;&#9825;My Kodak printer, though. Having the 4x6 photo paper always loaded is fun. And the Kodak photo app. on my phone is just the best.

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!
