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

Have an Imac and DSC W55, I cannot see the video clips in imovie b/c DSC w 55 has a MPEG1 muxed format and it is not compatible with imovie. Imovie only supports MPEG 2 or 4. Anybody knows anything else?

Sorry - this is not a reply...I just want to know the same thing. I'm in the process of buying both a Macbook and the Sony DSW55, and it's important they get along great! Does anybody know otherwise? Please let me know before I order!!!

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.

Hi, Michael - I, too am an osX guy... you probably already did this, but I looked at Micro Memo on http://amazon.com, and several reviews were unfavorable; evidently, fidelity is not so great. I only saw one Olympus model description that even mentioned Mac, though (the 1G model) - I wonder if any of the DS series models will work for us?

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?

I am sorry but I haven't used this camera on a Mac. Sorry for not being of any help.

This camera works fine with my new Mac (OS X) - it just recognizes the camera like any other.Also worth noting, I stuck in a 2GB SD card, and it's working fine so far - although the manual says not to use any larger than 1GB. Not sure what will happen when/if I store more than 1GB of photos on it, but I can keep that from happening.Changing the date on the camera is my priority now (searching for a way to do this lead me to this discussion). Any pointers?

I'm sorry, but I don't know if this camera is Mac compatible. I usually don't use the software and just upload files to my computers. (Windows XP and Windows 7) This camera has awesome quality and has a light so in somewhat darker places it still takes great video. I had one before that broke and I went out immediately and bought JVC again. Love this camera!!!!!

I have a mac with OSX 10.6.8...the camcorder is not compatible with my mac. However, I use both "Quick Time Player" and "HP Photosmart Studio" (I have a hp printer) for my Canon VIXIA HF and they both work great. By the way, this is a fantastic camcorder.

I have had no trouble at all uploading to my Mac from this camera. I have worked in both iMovie and FCPX with no glitches at all.

Here is a link to the Sony site. HDR-CX260V is compatible with MAC. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=1192&mdl=HDRCX260VB

I found a review of this camera on Associated Media that mentions it is NOT Mac compatible.

I believe that the software that comes with the camera has a "MAC" option for installation. The image files that are produced by this camera work in the "MAC" platform.

K, I to have that ? There's alot out the about Mac/Intel supports only to find the answer defeating your purpose. I want to edit my recordings with Imovie8 and am concerned about buying this camera and ending up with incompatible issues like Codec,codec conversion,transfer, capture, reduction of quality. Not to much all the unqualified reviews out their. I'm off to Europe soon and need the right cam. will fs11 do/Imovie

I went on the Fisher Price site and it said this: Photo editing software is not Mac-compatible, but you can connect this camera directly to your Mac to transfer images.

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.

Not sure if you have received a response but unfortunately I cannot answer the question. Supposedly in the description it is compatible with all macs. But I will say that it's tough to get the camera pointed in the right direction. Where the camera attaches to the base is pretty loose. The wire easily affects where it points. Video quality is excellent though.

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