The camcorder will install using drivers built into Mac and will appear on your desktop. IPhoto should start up automatically when the camcorder is connected to the Mac and give you the option to import your still images. We recommend using OSX 10.4 onwards and iPhoto 08 onwards. To download your AVCHD video you will need to use the iMovie 09 package from Apple. IMovie will not automatically open. You will need to open iMovie and then click on the import button on the left hand side of the software screen.
Please note that iMovie will detech the AVCHD videos on the camcorder but may crash when importing. There is advice on the Apple website regarding this: Please note that 50p footage available on some HDC models is not supported by iMovie. For further help using the Mac applications please refer to the Apple website, contact Apple by phone or visit your nearest Apple store.
