I do not have a Macbook. But this camera works perfectly with a Mac G5 and a Mac G6. Both of these are desk tops.

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.

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!

No, this camera will not connect to a pc. It requires a module that connects to a television. There may be a work around to get it working with a pc, but it's designed for a television hookup.

You shouldn't need any additional software for newer versions of MacOS. I suspect you won't need anything additional for Windows either, but I didn't have a Windows box nearby to test with. The camera also comes with a CD with software on it (I didn't try it).

Yes, the camera can record directly to the hard drive on a PC or Mac. Video player software is also included for both platforms.

I am sorry to say. I really have no idea about iMac. This cam is working good with my Windows PC. Thanks

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.

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.

Don't know. Mac person. Software is not the main attraction of the camera, which I really like!

Mac compatible in terms of what? there isn't a use port on it and you aren't able to save the recordings to your computer. So long answer, no.

No problem with setting it up with a Mac, and if for any reason you encounter any problems Foscam customer service is excellent and very helpful.

The short answer is no. The software that comes with the camera which is used to take pictures will only work on a PC. Still, this camera looks just like a webcam to a computer and you can probably get it to work with some other software. I have used mine with HandyAVI (which is also for the 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.

Not sure of your problem. I have a mac and win 7 and it works. Instead of using the cam and the USB cord, try using the SD card directly into the computer.
