Does this camera work with a Mac computer? Any problems getting the computer to recognize the camera? Thanks!

I have a MacBook Air and have not had any problems syncing the TG-1. I have used Picasa, iPhoto and Finder to pull photos off the camera without any issues.

The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook. I was a little concerned when I first tried to install the software. I did not think it was going to work. iMovie recognized the files straight from the camera though. 1) Plug the camera into the electrical socket 2) Make the camera switch set to "play video" 3) Choose the "printer/PC" option on the camera's screen 4) Launch iMovie, it recognizes the camera! I did not end up even needing to install the software it came with. (ImageMixer 3 SE or the Digital Video Solution Disk Ver.30.0) The Canon FS10 camcorder works with my macbook.

No...the software is not Mac compatible. However the camera can be made to work with a Mac. I use Parallels or Bootcamp and run the included software on Windows on my Macbook Air.

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).

All the major camera companies camera will work with macs. Take pictures..plug it in to your mac...and iphoto will take over !!! My family ONLY uses macs, and our Sony, Nikons, Canon, and Samsung Xacti all work GREAT with macs.

It works perfectly with our MacBook running Mountain Lion. We chose not to install the software that came with the camera as our computer settings open up iPhoto anytime a camera is attached. The wireless works best if you just transfer them to your iPhone and then email or sync when you're back at your computer.

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

You just use the cable you got with the camera (with the USB port) and then you connect it to your Computer. It works for me without any problems.Sometimes it doesn't recognize it but if I go to "Computer" I can find the camera there and can connect to the pictures/videos.I hope I could help.

Hi, Rob Yes, it does work with the Mac, but I'm not sure about the latter versions of the operating system. I have used it with my MacBook Pro, and it's running fine with the OSX 10.5.8 version. Hope that helps. -Steven-

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.

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 :)

The camera itself is not designed to connect to a computer. The Lukas viewer application (which is also used to configure the device and view recorded data from the included SD card) is only available for PC from what I can tell. If you've got Parallels or Boot Camp you should be able to run the software on your Mac.

yes the WebCam does work with a Mac, but no the software does not so you will lose some functionality such as the ability to turn the camera and use the zoom features. But they may have compatibility patches or software for it. I'm not certain

Yes, it works fine with a Mac. I purchased one about a year ago. A bit of fiddling with adjustments and I've been getting very good scans.

Well, I'll answer your question, cause I have been on line with AppleCare, and NO it does not work with MAC. Then, gee, wiz, I looked on the back of the box my Camcorder was in and it said is is only Windows . That is what I get for not researching better. Just got back from a trip and now need to find a Windows computer to download and hopefully edit my video. The other option is to purchase windows that can be also installed on the IMAC. Good luck to you... and me..
