Flip Mino Compatible with MacBook Pro? Compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Intel?

Hi, I ended up purchasing the Mino and didn't have any problems whatsoever. Basically when I launched the software for the first time the screen asked me what version of OSX I was running and then that was pretty much it. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Just found this at Apple: Follow these guidelines to use Flip Mino camcorders from Pure Digital with iMovie '08 7.1.2 or later. You will also need to update to QuickTime 7.5 or later.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1989

I just bought a new Flip MinoHD and for the life I me, I can't seem to plug it in to either of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro! I don't want to force it. Am I crazy or is the Flip's male connector smaller?

Does anyone know whether Macs need to be Intel-processor units for Mac integration? All my Macs are PowerPC generation. Thanks.

Can you tell me which software you had to download? I just tried to connect Flip Mino with my Macbook Pro with OSx10.5 Intel and all I got was a black screen and audio playback on a QuickTime Player. I called Flip helpline and they told me to download a free software from divx.com. I heard this particular download causes problems with iMovie. I hate the idea of downloading anything from a third party.

Thanks for the reply. Apparently, I need a third party QuickTime codec component in order to see video on iPhoto and iMovie. I can see the video and I can save it on the application that came with Flip, but it's the sorriest looking application. I really wanted to do some editing on iMovie. Can you view your video in iPhoto and iMovie or just the Flip application?

Same thing happened to me. I just bought mine from Amazon and received it yesterday. If fits into my husbands DELL though.I have no answer.

Had same problem with plugging our newly acquired Flip Mino HD 120 into our MacBook.Turned out that when we angled the Flip while plugging it in, it plugged in and worked beautifully.Still is a snug fit, but it works without having to return it.

Yes. I use the Flip Ultra with a MacBook Pro. Software downloaded flawlessly and off loaded videos quickly. I am presently converting some large files to the 'e-mail format'..this is slow. Note that the USB plug on the Flip and the USB port on the side of the Mac are not at the same level (Flip is higher) when on a table and the backside of he flip is facing down. I don't know about the Mino but given the smaller form factor, it might slide in the USB port easier. In any case it works great.

Yes you can! I am also using Mac OS X. Just make sure that the dip switch is set properly

I am using it right now on a late-model Mac Mini, running OS X Yosemite, 10.10.5, and it functions fine.

Yes, should be compatible using the OSX 10.9 native drivers. Note: installation in a MacPro may also require obtaining a Molex power adapter connector for proper functioning.

Try downloading the software from the Flip website. I did this and it works perfectly on my laptop running XP. Hope this helps!

I have the Nostromo on my Macbook with Lion, I have been playing World of Warcraft with it and have no issues at all, the driver is working fine, it handles my macros fine and all my key mappings. So far so good, I know they said the driver has been yet certified for Lion but is working fine for me. And yes, the driver is not for older models, it is exclusive for the Nostromo.

The www.griffintechnologies.com web page indicates that the iMic is compatible with Mac OS 10.6.

We are using it with a Mac OSX 10.7.5 and a 10.8.5 and it works fine. Not installation or recognition issues.

Yes, there is a OS X driver available from the manufacturer. It works great for iMovie and FinalCut.

I've used it on my iMac (7 yrs old) running OS 10.6 2.16 GHZ Intel Cor 2 Duo, and my Mac Mini (2.5 yrs old) running OS 10.8. No problems.

It runs in Linux, and the drivers are fairly simple so they should compile in OS X just fine and pick up the device with CLI monitoring. Not sure if there are gui monitoring tools on the disk for Mac though.

And FYI, IF you are considering a FLIP, you need to get a 2nd or 3rd generation (I'd suggest 3rd), as generation 1 depended on FLIP software, which isn't available anymore. And don't get a mino FLiP, too limited in my humble opinion. Got my 3rd generation on eBay for $36. It was perfect when it arrived. Anyway, good luck!

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of unhappy Flip Mino buyers here. The Mino's USB plug does not fit into either USB port on my MacBook Pro, so I'm returning it to get this instead: Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera (Black) NEWEST MODEL.

I am running an older MacBook Pro with OS 10.7.5 and it should work for you as well. Great plug and play for running TimeMachine.

It works fine with OS X Mavericks. Have not tried it with Yosemite Developer Preview.

the Flip Mino HD has a lot of problems connecting with the Macs. Has anyone had a trouble connecting the usb on the Ultra?
