Is this camcorder Mac compatible? Can I install the software on my brand new Macbook Pro?

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!!!!!

Although I have not tried to view on a Mac - Yes, the newest cameras I have ordered have software on the disk for both Windows and Mac versions.

Hi AC, Yes, I have a MacBook Pro and it works great. I actually prefer the included "FlipShare" video editing software vs. iMovie for editing my Flip videos. It's just a lot easier and faster. But I've also used iMovie and it works great, too. Oddly, though, when you plug in your Flip, iPhone (not iMovie) opens. You can go ahead and import all the clips to iPhoto, and then they'll show up in iMovie, or you can close iPhoto, open iMovie and manually import the clips. Hope that helps! -Dieds

Thanks for the answers I received. I did find out that with my IMAC (newest version) I was able to use IMOVIE. Works fine.

Yes you can upload your video footage to a MAC if it has LION or above. I have to concure with others, extremely hard to fly, impossible for young kids.

I would think you can, since I've down loaded some programs--I planned to try, but my video just went bad-----That's what one get for buying used--- I'm not as familiar with Mac as with Windows or Linux, Good Luck

I am not so sure on the compatability issue. I also have the same concern as I am a MAC user. I know the Apple website seems to promote Canon camcorders leading me to believe they are more compatable.

Yes you can use with a MAC but, this is a low end camera with bad video. You are better off getting a higher end camera.

Yes - I use iMovie with this camera. I take out the SD card and put into my MacBook Pro - and then input into iMovie :) Hope this helps - I really love this camera.

I do not own a Mac so I cannot promise anything, but the camcorder did come with a Digital Video Solutions Disk for Macinstosh so I would assume it must work with Macs since it comes with a Mac CD.

I didn't need to use the cd on the MacBook to get the camera functioning. What OS X version are you using?

Yes, on a macbook pro retina, running OSX 10.9.2, no problems. I used a simple cam app called DwayneCam that allowed me to chose the video source, although more sophisticated apps are also likely to work. No drivers necessary (I love Macs).

most all digital cameras are compatible with Macs - simply attach USB cord, power-up, and then let iPhoto do the rest. Macs come with pre-installed drivers for most brands/models of cameras, thus making it unnecessary to install the included software that comes with your camera.
