I bought this for use with Skype on a MacBook Pro (bought in April 2010, so the latest one, with Snow Leopard). It works perfectly. Excellent picture, excellent performance. Very pleased.

Sorry for the major brain cramp. I bought the 246 for use on a new Mac Mini. Same comments.

Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

I would also like to know if this works on a Mac. In general, I am finding that it is possible to buy electronic items on Amazon that are completely incompatible with OSX and no where do you even see that mentioned. A simple "System Requirement" category would suffice.

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM

Good question. I have just purchased the camera, because it has a short Mac section in the manual that seems to indicate that it is compatible. However, now that I've used it, i can't move the video to my Mac. Worthless!

I'm about to order one of these. I've used the Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac (Black) with an iMac and MacBook Pro, both running 10.7.x, and there were no issues whatsoever with overriding the built-in iSight. I don't expect any issues with this either, although I've yet to use it and so can't be 100% certain. However, my previous experience is that pretty much any webcam that works with a Mac will also be able to override the internal camera.

I have used PC to set up the camera. Not sure about Mac. It should be OK with Mac. Once it has been set up, my Mac can connect with the camera with no problem.

No...the software is not Mac compatible. However the camera can be made to work with a Mac. I use Parallels or Bootcamp and run the included software on Windows on my Macbook Air.

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

The video works fine with the Macs, but there is a known issue regarding the audio. The audio doesn't work with USB 3.0 ports. http://www.diamondmm.com/images/wpctvpromac/releasenotes.txt

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

I own a Mac, and camera on the Mac it is Plug N Play. The only thing you can adjust is the microphone level which is good since that can eliminate feedback. Out of many web cams this was one of the only that is compatible with a Mac. The auto focus has never been an issue on web cam chats. The only problem I have had is when no one is talking the camera searches for a sound, and sometimes generates feedback, but that is rare.

I've been searching for one tiger supported webcam too with no luck. Even in the manufacturers' websites they don't mention if any of them are supported. Though, there is some kind of software to force the drivers to work with the OSX for what I've read, but mind you, I haven't used it and since I don't know this kind of warez I'm not able to recommend them! Search for a little bit more of info and if you find a decent camera for the tiger, please let me know! I'll tell if I find one.

Sorry but I do not know if it is compatible with Mac, but I sure like them. I have 2. But, I do have a co-worker that uses a Mac. He will be in later today & I'll get him to try it out and let you know how it goes.

I am using this Monitor with a Mac Mini running OSX Mavericks. The webcam DOES NOT work with my computer.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your question. If I was in your situation, I would write to the manufacture, in this case Macally, and ask them your question. I do not know how compatible this webcam is with older apple computer systems. I hope you good luck in your quest. Happy Thanksgiving.JoseMaple Heights, Ohio
