I believe I was on Lion or Mountain Lion when I purchased it and put it on my mac. I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and still have access to iDVD. So I don't think you will have a problem.

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"You're welcome. I think the camera is great. Really nice hs pics. I did buy the cannon mike that mounts on top on the shoe and if u have the extra $150 I think it is well worth it audio wiseThe mic is made for the camera. We use it to record our church services so I needed better sound than the built in micDave

Thank you! It can be so difficult finding out about Mac compatibility of these devices. Why doesn't Olympus publish this information?

The instructions say it works with Mac OS X 10.5 or later. Iused Windows XP and 7. It worked fine for both.

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

I just bought this for a Mac. You need a Mac with an Intel core duo or core 2 duo and imovie 09. Had a terrible time getting the mac to recognize the files, finally discovered you have to lauch imovie before connecting the camera or inserting the SDHC card in the computer. As long as you do that, the movies import into imovie beautifully. Spent hours figuring that out, seems the tech support people at Panasonic should have known that. You can not put the card in, launch imovie, and import like you can for pictures in iphoto. I had it packed up to return but discovered it by chance on trying one more time.

I use a Mac Mini with 10.6 os, 8 GB Ram, Novation launchPAD midi controller, and M-Audio Axiom 25. it works great on the Mac Mini. And yes it works on both of those Mac products. Just make sure you have OS 10.6 or higher. I had 10.5 when I got it and had delay problems with Axiom 25, and if you are using the Novation LaunchPAD it will not work on any OS lower than 10.6. Great product though... I highly recommend Ableton Live 9. Im going to upgrade to Standard version soon. Have fun with it. AWESOME!!!!

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..

Right on 3rd timer. I have not found a good solution for iMovie (Mac OS). It will not recognize the file even with a new extension name.I'll confess that I have not tried too hard (or looked for another program). I do have Quicktime pro and it does not like the .Mod files or the mpeg files. I prefer PCs, but must use a mac at work.

It should work OK. However I experienced latency problems with GarageBand on my iMac.Not sure if this would happen with other software or platforms.

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"if you want a sample from the camera, you can go to facebook's Hot SpringsJazz Society and look at the u-tube videos of our Vocal-Rama event .... all6 or so of the u=tubes were taken by the camera and attached mic. Theacoustics in the Garvan Gardens Chapel aren't the best, but I thought thesounds came through reasonably well....Dave

Hi Matthew, Could you tell me which program you bought to convert so my Mac can recognize the hi res video? Thanks!

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

I have an intel based mac and the hg10 cam. I was unsure weather the cam would work when I bought it. Best buy said it would and told me if it didn't I could bring it back if it didn't. It does work with Imovie8 but DOES NOT work with previous versions of imovie. You must have or purchase Ilife 08 to make the HG10 work with Imovie. I put a first test movie up on utube with the cam and software and it worked perfect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXeFjOfewiI

Yes, but you be aware that you need the latest version of Garage Band, so you will need to be running Mountain Lion. I can't use mine until I get a new computer, unfortunately.
