Compatibility with Mac Does this camera work with an 1Mac OS X 10.7.2 operating system? Will the camera override the built-in camera?

C910 does not seem to work with effects in photo booth - logitech could not assist - says probably not compatible.

I'm about to order one of these. I've used the Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac (Black) with an iMac and MacBook Pro, both running 10.7.x, and there were no issues whatsoever with overriding the built-in iSight. I don't expect any issues with this either, although I've yet to use it and so can't be 100% certain. However, my previous experience is that pretty much any webcam that works with a Mac will also be able to override the internal camera.

Personally, I got one because the resolution and low-light capabilities are much better than those on the 4.5 year old iMac I have. It works with every app I use on the Mac, so I am glad I purchased it. Yes, some of the Photo Booth effects don't work with it - probably because they're hardcoded to a lower resolution - but otherwise it'd better than the iSight.I'm not sure what you mean by working with a TV, but it absolutely works with a Mac and will do Skype.

I've received the C910 and have connected it to my iMac. It works with everything the built-in iSight does, including 3rd party apps like Evocam. The included Logitech app seems redundant except maybe to record HD video more easily. I cannot imagine what other apps I'd need from them - I'm quite happy with the camera as-is. No need for additional software.

It doesn't work with all of the effects, but it does work with a number of them. I suspect some of the effects are hard-wired to a resolution lower than that of the C910.

Curious - why do you need/want a webcam if you have built in iSight?MyQuestion - I don't have iSight, and now looking for webcam that would work with Mac, as many Mac applications as possible AND work with my new Toshiba 'smart TV', so I can plug into TV and make Skype video calls.All this might not be possible, yet - 1. work with "smart/Internet TV' - Brand Toshiba - do Skype - and can work on Mac.Sort of feels like trying to work out a Rubik's Cube.

Thanks, George. I read the description that says the camera is compatible with Mac, but I wanted to know whether the webcam can override the built-in camera.

And now that you learned that Logitech refuses to create the various software applications that are available for Windows for Mac OS X as well?

It works with both windows 7 and mac if you just read the manual and load the windows 7 driver. I use windows 7 at work and mac at home and have two of these cameras, both of which work with both computers. I will acknowledge that it is more consistent with the MAC than windows 7 but it does work with both.

Thank you J. I'm sure the HV20 should work since it's DV Tape based and the video capture is made in real time.My concern is that since the HG10 works with a Hard Drive, the files copied to the computer may be in a format that the Mac cannot read... That would be a bummer.I've heard about some Sony AVCHD cameras not being compatible with the Mac and this is why I wonder about this one.I guess ultimately I can just get it and try it and return it if it doesn't work.Thanks again,Christian

The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook. I was a little concerned when I first tried to install the software. I did not think it was going to work. iMovie recognized the files straight from the camera though. 1) Plug the camera into the electrical socket 2) Make the camera switch set to "play video" 3) Choose the "printer/PC" option on the camera's screen 4) Launch iMovie, it recognizes the camera! I did not end up even needing to install the software it came with. (ImageMixer 3 SE or the Digital Video Solution Disk Ver.30.0) The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook.

I'm pretty sure it will be. Most canon products work very well with the Mac computer. I use me HV20 with my Mac, so I'm pretty certain it will work on you Mac.

Fully compatible! Link to Fuji site here: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/support/compati_winmac.html My wife and daughter both use the (earlier model) Z100fd (8 megapixel vs the 20's 10MP), and it works fine with the Mac. Opens right up in iPhoto with no problem, tho we usually connect the XD card with an adaptor to the Mac's USB port, which seems to work faster than using the USB cable. Ours are used with an older eMac, which is only USB1, so I'm sure USB2 (which this Fuji uses) on a more current Mac will transfer files a LOT faster! Ours takes great videos, and has pretty much eliminated the use of our DV camcorder for most events. One thing I'd recommend is to NOT import video clips into iPhoto, as the file sizes tend to reduce import speeds to a crawl, as well as slow iPhoto down quite a bit (altho this may not be an issue on a modern Intel-based Mac). Hope this info helps you... we Mac users need to support each other! ;-) BTW- I've added the lime-green z20fd on my OWN wish list here on Amazon!

Of course! This is a UVC camera; thus, no drivers are required for OS X. Gary Lee knows not of which he speaks.

It works fine on my Macbook. I just import all of my videos and photos into Iphoto.

I have a mac OS x 10.6.8 and it works perfectly fine. I also have photoshop elements and I have had no problems!

I've only had the camera a couple of days but it seems to work fine with my Mac when connecting using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. I haven't done any exhaustive testing but I've been able to connect and get video into iMovie and Final Cut Express. So so far, so good.

I downloaded evocam, and could not figure out how to make it work with this camera.. not to say it won't, but it wasn't obvious to me.. I tried numerous settings with no luck. If you're looking for a Mac solution with this camera I would go with Security Spy.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your question. If I was in your situation, I would write to the manufacture, in this case Macally, and ask them your question. I do not know how compatible this webcam is with older apple computer systems. I hope you good luck in your quest. Happy Thanksgiving.JoseMaple Heights, Ohio

I can't answer that. I don't have a Mac or the software that came with the camera

yes the WebCam does work with a Mac, but no the software does not so you will lose some functionality such as the ability to turn the camera and use the zoom features. But they may have compatibility patches or software for it. I'm not certain

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.

Its operating system compatibilities include Microsoft 2000 professional,ME, XP, Home and Pro as well as MAC OS 9.1/9.2 OSX (10.-10.4). Hope this answers your question. YES. I do own this camera and a MAC G4.
