Does it work with Macs? I bought this quickcam thinking it was compatible with Macs, but after I put in the CD, there isn't anything that promps me. Do I need to return this?

If you are running mac os 10.4.8 or later, no software or drivers are necessary. The camera is plug & play with iChat. However, this means you cannot use the special effects software from logitech.

Just to make sure I am clear-- to get this to work, I need to go back to Imovie06? Do I uninstall 08 (it came on my new macbook) and then install 06?Sorry, I am so not technical and am used to the mac just figuring it out. Thanks for your help!

I am guessing that it will work with Macs, but not with the software on the included CD. You would probably have to download a Mac-friendly capture and edit program (I use Audacity version 2.05 on the same OS, 10.6.8, with a USB turntable) -- this is the option I am considering.

Ummm...why does everyone say it's not Mac compatible? I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard and iMovie imports the clips with the USB cable.

I had it work with my mac for about 1 hour... and now it doesn't work at all... Honestly I would avoid for mac.. even when it did work my mac claimed it couldn't recognize the device.. I think it just may be broken... not happy at all with the purchase.. hope that helps...

Well I think it's ok but it freezes. My other cam froze too . I think it's the Mac mini not the cam; I have a mini , so I think the cam is ok. I read a bit and people say it's the card in the mini that causes it. I don't know, but u Cannot change the card in the mini. If u know a cam that works better, let me know, thx

I've been searching for one tiger supported webcam too with no luck. Even in the manufacturers' websites they don't mention if any of them are supported. Though, there is some kind of software to force the drivers to work with the OSX for what I've read, but mind you, I haven't used it and since I don't know this kind of warez I'm not able to recommend them! Search for a little bit more of info and if you find a decent camera for the tiger, please let me know! I'll tell if I find one.

Hello Destiny. It actually doesn't work with macs. To be honest, I tried a number of things. However, the only option that I could see was to use the software while running VMWare or Parallels so you can run Windows on your Mac, and be able to allow this to work. However, if you're still looking to have something that works similar, but doesn't cost as much, here are some links that may be helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5s5EvhHy7eQ or http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/ . These options use a Wii remote as an IR camera. I hope this helps :)

Actually, you may be in luck. Check this out, it's a nice list of PC webcams and the drivers necessary for them to work on a mac:http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/configs.html"Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX - requires special pre-release macam driver."Found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=44375&package;_id=176091&rele;ase_id=434750

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

thanks! this camera with macam is bit quirky but all in all works nicely (on the left usb port). works great with skype, and recording through macam itself (though there's no mic in the camera itself, so macam doesn't record any sound).

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

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 used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

Got this as a gift. My Mac does not seem to recognize it while plugged in a USB. I have tried to no avail. So, my guess is no. In addition the package says ( Media Playing software: Attached software of the operating system or mainstream audio and video media playing software Operating System: Windows 2000 / XP / Vista) So, I'll assume it is not MAC supported.

Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

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?
