dandig Senior Member  346 posts Likes: 1 Joined May 2006 More info | Jun 21, 2006 07:47 | #1 I have recently purchased a 1D MKII N and a new macbok pro. When you put the canon digital solutions disk in the macbook it simply spits it out. Canon were very unhelpful and just told me that they could not guarantee compatibility with intel macs! Surely this is not the case? There must be a way around this. All I realy want to do is to use the "camera window" application to change a few of the camera settings and add my name to the camera settings. Does anyone else have his problem?

Unfortunately it may be an "early adopter" problem that will only be fixed in time with an update. But.....I don't see why the processor would be a problem. I am running the lastest version of Mac OS and I don't have any problem. It is not like you are running a special version of the OS. Journeyman Photographer

Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

The speed really is a close match provided you're not doing anything exceptionally intensive (3d) graphics wise.

) and setup a windows virtual machine, more than likely you could make the changes from within the VM. If it works out it'll set you back $50-80 depending on if they're still running the promo but it's a pretty useful piece of software. If you're only looking to make a couple of changes and then you can hold off for true MacTel support you can probably just trash it all once you're done and not pay for anything.
