I have been told that a windows PC can record with this product. How about a MacBook Pro?

These just plug into a headphone jack of a recording device and don't require any software, so I imagine that if you have recording software on your computer (PC or Mac) that works with a plug-in microphone, it'd work just fine.

The Olympus TP-8 is a device that I use for recording telephone conversations (works with cell phone or land line). It does not require a hard wire connection with the telephone equipment. It has an ear bud that contains a tiny microphone. The telephone is used in the normal way - with the speaker against the ear, and both sides of the conversation are recorded - very good quality, but the earbud device must be connected to an Olympus digital recorder (not included with the Olympus TP-8.) Digital recorders are $90 and up. The earbud microphone is powered from the Olympus digital recorder. Other brands may not work here. I'm not sure what the application would be with a PC or Mac. Hope this helps. The Olympus TP-8 is a device that I use for recording telephone conversations (works with cell phone or land line).

I am using a PC but The User Manual has instructions for Web viewing on PC and Macs, so it should work. Viewing the DVR recording directly does not require a computer, only a monitor.I found the User Manual by Googling online.

I only used it with windows and was not impressed. I bought it to record law school lectures but the mic on my Surface Pro and speech to text in onenote was a much better (and free) solution

I use a PC with Windows 8.1 via USB. I have a Mac Pro, but abandoned it. I am a Windows guy. Please let me know what you find out. I may resurrect my Mac Pro at some point.

Hey Adam! I have done a bit of "digital audio recording" myself on Logic Express 9. I have managed to do this on an early 2008 white macbook (2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, and a 120 GB 5400 rpm). I ran into a few problems with the hard drive being to slow and the application crashing because I didn't have enough RAM. Though I never ran into problems with the processor, and there is a reason for this. Recording software doesn't rely on the processor as much as it does the RAM and hard disk speed. A 2.4 GHz i5 is plenty for your needs. The things you should pay attention to are RAM, which this computer has 4 GB of (unless you are recording/mixing more than 7 or 8 tracks this will be plenty). It is expandable to 16 gb, which is probably enough RAM to handle time travel. And the hard drive speed...which if you manage your computers files well, and don't let it get all bogged down like a ...*gulp* WinDoWs ComPuTRe...then you will be ok ;). Basically what im getting at is that the i5 model will work just fine n' dandy, and as for the i7? You would just be buying a higher capacity, graphically faster (video games, videos, making shapes with the mouse pointer, the list goes on) laptop that has a better resale value. Hope this helped. -Andy

The camera uses standard UVC drivers so it "should" work on your Macbook Pro. The included software won't work, but the camera should work with Skype or whatever you use it with.

I've tested it with XP and MacBook. It worked well for both. But I can not make any comment on Windows8. You should look fast track web page for this question man.

I'm sure you can. is, records into basic formats; mp4 and AVCHD. so if your Mac will work with you either of these formats you're good to go.

I use it with a Macbook, but a friend of mine has the same unit and he uses it with MS Windows7.

It should, but not as well as windows version. Check software requirements. Mac version crashes a lot. Consider purpose of use. Also buy a really good mic and not one from nuance, Quality of mic matters a lot! It comes with 30 day money back if buying from nuance.

Not per se, but I can confim that it *does* work under Parallels.I just got a MacBook and installed Parallels with Windows XP. The recorder shows up fine, and transfers work great (i.e. just as it does on a PC). This isn't an ideal solution, but it sure beats hooking up the Olympus to the PC, downloading recordings, and then shuttling the recordings from the PC to my MacBook.

The unit itself is USB and will work with any USB enabled device. You will need drivers and a program which will allow you to use it. Take a look at Measurement Computing website www.mccdaq.com to see if they have anything for Mac. You can also search for third party implementation. If everything else fails then Parallels, or Boot Camp may be the solution as it will allow you to run Windows on Mac.
