Put camera on Disk mode (choice pops up on Aiptek screen when connected by USB) Aiptek shows up as a disk on the desktop, files can be dragged and copied from media folder in Camera Memory. The .ASF files aren't easy to edit or convert, but they should play on many types of software. I use VLC (VideoLan Client) to play them. Photos are uploaded to iPhoto automatically and easily.

Yes. I have a macbook pro and it has a slot for the SD card. You can import the movies directly into iMovie or iPhoto. If you don't have a card reader in your Mac, you would just need a sync cable or an external card reader.

To transfer video to a computer, you need to use the firewire output on the camcorder. Your computer will need to have a firewire input. If you do not have this, then you can buy a firewire card and plug it into an unusued expansion slot in the back of the computer.

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?

All camcorders are compatible with both Mac and PC. It's the input connection and program you have to have in the computer. Ask your Mac store for a good video capture and edit program, you may already have one in your computer. Also the JVC GZHM960 is a much better camcorder and refurbished are the best prices. I own a refurbished and have no problems. Always use the Auto setting without face detection and the xvc shooting mode for great video. Hope this helps!

If you download a free program named Handbrake, you can export the video straight to the Mac using the provided USB cable. Otherwise, you can only transfer the .jpg files. While Sony says it is compatible, it's isn't completely.

I don't have a MAC but that refers to the operating system not file formats. So, I don't think there would be any compatability issues. The camera transfers the photos/videos in standard formats.

Well, I'll answer your question, cause I have been on line with AppleCare, and NO it does not work with MAC. Then, gee, wiz, I looked on the back of the box my Camcorder was in and it said is is only Windows . That is what I get for not researching better. Just got back from a trip and now need to find a Windows computer to download and hopefully edit my video. The other option is to purchase windows that can be also installed on the IMAC. Good luck to you... and me..

I think so. I didn't installed them in Mac. But the disc came with it says so. Also, I successfully transferred the videos to my colleague's Mac.

If you have an Intel based Mac you will be able to handle the AVCHD codec. If you have an earlier PowerPC Mac (like the dual G5 I have) you will have to transcode to MPEG video to edit. This is a time consuming process as I learned when borrow an AVCHD camera from a family member. More information is available on video forums regarding this concern.

No...the software is not Mac compatible. However the camera can be made to work with a Mac. I use Parallels or Bootcamp and run the included software on Windows on my Macbook Air.

No. I purchased mine to connect to my external Disk Drives. However I am converting my VHSTapes to DVD'S. Your camcorder is analog Video and has to be converted to Digital video. You may be interested in the attached. It will convert your camcordert so it can be sent to the iMac. It comes with an Installation Disk and it worked like a charm for me. You will have to buy the connecting cables as the leads on the attachment are only about 10" long. It will plug into the USB Port. Good Luck... BobZee... If you decide to buy be sure to order the Mac Version... http://www.roxio.com/enu/promotions/landing/easy-vhs-to-dvd/search/default.html?source=VHSgoog&gclid;=CO6flNqylr0CFa9cMgodDHoAQg No. I purchased mine to connect to my external Disk Drives.

That's the beauty of Macintosh. Connect the camera via USB or insert the memory card into a reader and connect to your Mac. Import the file(s) into iMovie or other video editing software. Easy as pie!

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

I have a Mac Mini and I'm able to import the videos without problem. Besides, the software will reside in the SD card, not your Mac

Yes but you might need an adaptor. Contact Sony. You download right from the camcorder or take out the sd card and put it into your computer just like any other sd card. They work in Mac and pc

Yes, it can. But you cannot record it on a mac or even inside the flash card that you put inside the camera, even if the manual says you can. You can just watch the videos and setup the camera perfectly.
