This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing the Flip Video
software – called FlipShare – in OS X.
- Plug your Flip Video camera
into an available USB port on your Mac. Then open up a Finder window. In the DEVICES section, you should now see a volume titled FLIPVIDEO – select it. Inside that volume locate the file titled Start FlipShare.app and double-click it. - Click the I agree button to agree to the user license agreement.
- Enter your password when prompted.
- FlipShare will start to install itself.
- Once the installation has completed, FlipShare will launch. Close it down.
- Navigate to your Applications folder and make sure that FlipShare is listed. Launch it from here.
- FlipShare will automatically check to see if there’s an upgrade available. Click the Update Now button if one is found.
- Place a check in the box labeled I have read and accept the terms of the License Agreement, and then click the Install button.
- Again, enter your password when prompted.
- FlipShare will now update itself…
- … and once completed, click OK to finish the process.
- FlipShare is now set up and ready to use.

I got a Flip Mino. My Macbook crashed I had to re-isnstall OS X, lost everything on the hard drive. When I plug the Flip Mino again, Flipshare does not install and there is no StartFlipShareapp. file, only the videos. PLEASE HELP
