How do you get it to work on a Mac? macam doesn't support it. Microphone functions, but the camera is evidently not recognized.

I've only used this with Skype. I just plugged it in and then went into the video settings in Skype and selected the camera. Worked fine. When I've used this for meetings, my team requested that I use a headset for audio instead of the camera, as the sound is much clearer that using the camera mic.

Works just fine on my 2006 Mac Pro tower. No issues. Not quite sure why it wouldn't work with yours.

I use Windows, so I don't know. However, if your Mac has a microphone jack then I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I have a Kidizoom camera and could not get my two Macs to recognize it or mount it. I have an Intel G4 and IMac G3.

I think a mac would recognize the camera and upload the photos, but the video is in wav format and to my knowledge, mac does not support wav files. With a Mac, your best bet is a Canon.

You might have to get special drivers. What I would do is look online for the drivers for this mic, if the drivers are available for the mac you have than it is completely safe to use. If not than you would be taking a risk with the product.

I managed to get it to work after quite alot of messing around.Move the 'open source' folder on the macam download into the quicktime folder ASWELL as the .component.I had to re-Re-install skype and maccam, and presto! seem to be much better quality than the iSight i also have benn loaned..

I'd just like to add that I was unable to find any software for the camera that works on a Mac OSX, with the result that many of the features don't work, including picture adjustment. On my Mac Pro, the picture is higher-res and significantly better than my old webcam, but it's also significantly over-exposed.

are you trying to use it on the mac or the pc? if on the pc, use the software disc it comes with. if on the mac, use the drivers from http://www.google.com/url?q=http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html&sa=X&oi=smap&resnum=1&ct=result&cd=1&usg=AFQjCNEht2lVCHGePwIMRAr7nnm-BRaS5w they should work, but i'm not sure. To chat, you need either Yahoo Messenger (i think it has voice now), Skype, or iChat (with an AIM account). If you want to use the camera in ichat, you'll also need iChatUSBCam, here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ Caleb

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

I don't know - I'm running Windows. According to the Dream Cheeky website, Mac is supported for the device. I LOVE mine!!

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?

Interesting. I just purchased this product and, assuming it would just automatically launch with iMovie, I was surprised when it didn't. I have a Mac Book Pro w/latest os. I wonder why I'm not getting the same response?

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Yes with Macs. I love this device. It is the best. Try it in a different computer first if still no response send it back
