Can I install the camera and use it without setting it up on a computer first? I only have Macs.

yes, you can, there is an 8Gb SD card with everyting needed for the dashcam on it. You even can watch the avi files on the mac, but not the gps and other info (i.e. time). Also for firmware updates you wil need a Windows computer.

That's how I've been using all along, but not because I have Mac, simply lazy. I've pulled out memory card once and viewed videos on a regular movie viewer.

The camera will work and record without any set up. You will however need Windows to change the settings to mph and adjust the time zone. Did this once on a pc and have been downloading and viewing files on my Macs.

I have an iMac with the Snow Leopard OS, and it was easy to install the software that came with the Nikon S3500. Then you must restart your computer. Now you are ready to take pictures. After you've taken some pictures, plug your camera into your computer via the USB cable/power cord, and download the pictures into View NX2. It is as easy as that.

Are you asking if you can connect it to a Mac via USB and upload photos? Yes, you can. Are you asking if you can wirelessly connect and automatically upload photos? Yes, if you have Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later. Be advised that wireless setup is challenging. Also, you will be required to use Canon's Camera Window application to transfer images; it's impossibly slow, even on a current iMac. Here are the best instructions for wireless setup...what they don't say is that in order to do the first step, you must have an empty card...http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201649400.html

I heard you can but you might have to do everything manually. I'm not on this though. You could also try a camera store to see if they can give you a better answer.

Yes. On Mac use image capture app and use preview to convert to anything you want. On pc use included software in box.

No computer is required. You can simply attach a monitor to the DVR to complete the setup. If you want to view remotely (internet) you'll need a computer. I only have full functionallity with iPolis on my PC. My iMac doesn't work to view the cameras remotely however, my iPad & iPhone do as the iPolis app works well on them. (view only)

I'm not sure. I have it plugged into a wifi camera which works just fine. There was nothing to set up. Just plug and play is what I did. Apple tends to like to complicate things, but I don't see why it wouldn't work since it's just and not a program. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I can not speak to Mac installation, as I hooked mine up to a PC. However, with my PC, there was no software installation at all. I simple connected it to the PC and I was off an running. I imagine the same would be true for your Mac.

If it's with a Mac you don't need any software.... just plug in to the usb and go. I bought two, though. The first one simply didn't work with my Mac for some strange reason and the second one worked fine.

Yes! On iPad you will need the camera connection kit. On the Mac, just a USB cable.

I put a memory card in my camera and I just remove it and load it in my computer and down load the pics from the card ...there is a USB port you can also download that way...I have a Mac and no problems

you can use the software that comes with the camera (Config tool), which is Windows only. Otherwise, you can configure using the web interface with any browser.

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

The instruction manual is rather inconclusive but does not say you can't. It also seems to be PC based with system requirements. I'm a MAC guy and it looks like it has to use supplied cable or card reader.My card fits into the slot built in. I just tried to make it work as I have no need of wi-fi and it wasn't successful, probably my lack of wi-fi knowledge. I had to search through all the wi-fi connections for the camera. I wish I could be of more help.
