Yes, this scanner works just fine on my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard. You need to get the MP Navigator EX 2.0 download from the Canon Website to have all the CanoScan feaures. However it will also work via Image Capture and the drivers included with Snow Leopard - less features is all.

Thanks, Joel. It was unclear from the download sites that you need MP Navigator EX 2.0 to make it work. Very helpful post.

Apple sells this scanner on their website (and presumably in their stores) so I assume it works with OSX... but can't guarantee it :-)

Though I am a "PC" guy I installed the software for this scanner on her "Snow Leopard OS X v. 10.6" iMAC which reported that the software was not supported by the computer. The fix was to go to the Canon website and download and install the driver from there. It has a date of October of 2009.

My exact question. I recently went up from an iMac G5 to a new iMac with Snow Leopard. Suddenly my 4 year old HP scanner is no longer compatible with my MAC. I need to know WHICH units are actually supported by Snow Leopard.

Just wanted to let anyone who has this printer that it is compatible with OSX 10.6. Just finished downloading the newest drivers from the Canon website and now i can use my scanner again! Thank you Canon!

We saw the same symptoms when we first attempted to use our scanner. The iMacs we plugged into were identical model with OSX 10.7.x. It worked on one iMac and not the other. Once it worked on one system, I did not continue trouble shooting to determine if the issue was with the OS or the version of Excel we were using. I would recommend trying on another system, if possible, to hopefully give you a place to start trouble shooting the system you want to use the scanner on.

My Mac Pro is using Snow Leopard, so I cannot say for certain it by personal experience. I did find out that it will work with OSX 10.9 and some users have had some difficulty with the scan function. This can now be remediated with a free down load of updated scanner drivers. Other users have experienced problems with the wireless function as far back as my OS version and the problems seem to be related to using the proper router addresses. I don't use the wireless since my computer isn't portable. Hopefully this will provide you with the information you are seeking. As a side note my wife and I both have the same kind of printer and love them. We also use the off brand ink tanks from Amazon which can be purchased for about $4.00 for a set of five tanks. These tanks seem to work as well as the Canon ink tanks other than much less damage to our bank account.

As a macbook user, yes,it is compatible with MacBooks/Mac...However, I am unable to confirm that it works for PC,being that I haven't tried it on a PC. In my opinion,I'd say it should work for the PC too. For MACAll you need is:DoD certificatesCAC card readerCard reader driver (I use centrify,register for free and run the driver)And I believe you download either the snow leopard or mountain lion depending on your the Version of your MAC

I have a MacBook PRO I use the S510 scanner with and I have had no problems at all. So yes, this scanner does indeed work with MAC. Hope this answer helps.

I have this device and use Mac OS Mountain Lion. The scanning feature does work as long as you install the driver (available on their website). The only feature the Mac does not allow for is the OCR feature.

Hi, RobYes, 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-

Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard users... You have to go here: http://www.uc-logic.com/download/download.htm and download the latest drivers. But yes it does work on Leopard.

I am glade that it works on Mac now. I am thinking about buying one for my small office all-mac environment.You mentioned that the scanner only works with usb. Have you tried network to scan?Another thing I keep wondering, in general, that all the all-in-one should have an option to receive fax as a digital document instead of printing it out. If you find it, please do let me know.

The disk that comes with the scanner states that the scanning software runs on Mac OS9 / X Classic. I bought the scanner in 2003 and was disappointed to learn that Canon will not produce a driver for Windows 7, so they are not maintaining compatibility with the most recent operating systems. Therefore I am keeping my old Windows XP computer as a scanning system. For more information I suggest that you contact customer support at Canon.

Yes, I've used on my iMac. I have quite an old OS (Snow Leopard... the best version of Mac OS), but I don't see why it shouldn't work on newer versions.

I just checked another seller's description of this device, which indicated it is compatible with a Mac with OSX 10.4 version or later. I use a IMAC too, and needed to know this information before making my purchase of this item. Hope this helps you.

I have snow leopard. I think I went to Epson's website and accessed the directions for the scanner. I'm not very tech-savvy, but it wasn't really all that complicated.

I don't have a mac, I always just use the SD card and transfer to computer. The scanner works great.

I am using 10.7.5 on a 4-year-old iMac; I don't have 10.8 yet. I use VueScan to run my scanners; I upgraded to the latest version of VueScan and also loaded the most recent driver from Canon. The scanner works fine with this combination.

The scanner is compatible with Mac and you simply hook it up via USB to download your data. The bonus software included is only compatible for PCs and is not necessary.
