Flip Mino Compatible with MacBook Pro? Compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Intel?

Hi, I ended up purchasing the Mino and didn't have any problems whatsoever. Basically when I launched the software for the first time the screen asked me what version of OSX I was running and then that was pretty much it. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Just found this at Apple: Follow these guidelines to use Flip Mino camcorders from Pure Digital with iMovie '08 7.1.2 or later. You will also need to update to QuickTime 7.5 or later.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1989

I just bought a new Flip MinoHD and for the life I me, I can't seem to plug it in to either of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro! I don't want to force it. Am I crazy or is the Flip's male connector smaller?

Does anyone know whether Macs need to be Intel-processor units for Mac integration? All my Macs are PowerPC generation. Thanks.

Can you tell me which software you had to download? I just tried to connect Flip Mino with my Macbook Pro with OSx10.5 Intel and all I got was a black screen and audio playback on a QuickTime Player. I called Flip helpline and they told me to download a free software from divx.com. I heard this particular download causes problems with iMovie. I hate the idea of downloading anything from a third party.

Thanks for the reply. Apparently, I need a third party QuickTime codec component in order to see video on iPhoto and iMovie. I can see the video and I can save it on the application that came with Flip, but it's the sorriest looking application. I really wanted to do some editing on iMovie. Can you view your video in iPhoto and iMovie or just the Flip application?

Had same problem with plugging our newly acquired Flip Mino HD 120 into our MacBook.Turned out that when we angled the Flip while plugging it in, it plugged in and worked beautifully.Still is a snug fit, but it works without having to return it.

Yes. I use the Flip Ultra with a MacBook Pro. Software downloaded flawlessly and off loaded videos quickly. I am presently converting some large files to the 'e-mail format'..this is slow. Note that the USB plug on the Flip and the USB port on the side of the Mac are not at the same level (Flip is higher) when on a table and the backside of he flip is facing down. I don't know about the Mino but given the smaller form factor, it might slide in the USB port easier. In any case it works great.

The scanner has software that is compatible with MacOS versions 10.5 and up. I use it with a 2011 Macbook Pro, but any Mac running at least version 10.5 will be compatible. This excludes any older Macs with PowerPC CPUs.

so i have a power-PC (non-Intel) PowerBook...does this mean i cannot download Flip Mino HD video to it? can the Flip video be burned directly to a DVD via the USB cable or must one download it to the hard drive first?

Yes. I am currently running 10.10.1 Yosemite. Fabulous Computer! Mavericks worked good but Yosemite is better. Both support magic mouse.

It works fine with OS X Mavericks. Have not tried it with Yosemite Developer Preview.

I am running an older MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.5 and it should work for you as well. Great plug and play for running TimeMachine.

Yes it is compatible with MAC OS; at least it says so in the product description. I am using it with a Samsung Laptop and it works very well> note when I received it the instructions say that the unit doers not operate as well if plug into hub. What the product description does not tell you is that it requires two usb plugs to operate; I plug mine into a hub and it works fine. Bueno Suerte

Extremely late reaction, but did you find out of the MC1's compatibility with OS X?

I have the Nostromo on my Macbook with Lion, I have been playing World of Warcraft with it and have no issues at all, the driver is working fine, it handles my macros fine and all my key mappings.So far so good, I know they said the driver has been yet certified for Lion but is working fine for me.And yes, the driver is not for older models, it is exclusive for the Nostromo.

I can imagine so. I have a a MacBookPro and I am running SnowLeopard OS 10.6.8 and I love the performance and space this gives me. As long as you follow the the order of plugging the provided Mini USB plug into the tablet first, and then into your CPU you ought to be able to use you Huion once you load the program from the provided disc.

I have used mine on Mac mini hardware with both OS X and Linux. It is plug-and-play on all platforms. Very easy to use.

And FYI, IF you are considering a FLIP, you need to get a 2nd or 3rd generation (I'd suggest 3rd), as generation 1 depended on FLIP software, which isn't available anymore. And don't get a mino FLiP, too limited in my humble opinion. Got my 3rd generation on eBay for $36. It was perfect when it arrived. Anyway, good luck!

If this helps, mine is running on the Mac Pro 1,1 Quad-Core (MA356*/A) and handles Yosemite perfectly.

The Mini model I bought is the same one being offered today. It comes shipped with Mountain Lion and is upgradable to Mavericks for free. I am running Yosemite beta now and it's faster than ever.

the Flip Mino HD has a lot of problems connecting with the Macs. Has anyone had a trouble connecting the usb on the Ultra?

I am having no problem using a MacBook Pro running 10.4.10 with a Garmin Streetpilot i5. Garmin does offer Mac compatible software. Hoosierjay
