How do i install  a cd rom on my mac mini

former windows guy here
I have this CD-rom for my Sony voice recorder
i inserted the cd,drug it to the Macintosh HD
but it still wont work
I need to do something to get my mac to pull the files off my recorder so i can store them on the mac.
when i click on the folders where i drug the cd-rom i see the dark grey icon inside it
how do i install this so i can download the files from the recorder?
thanks in advance

John,
He wants to install a Windows program. It shouldn't work.
CoffeehouseSchmuck,
Have you tried just plugging the recorder directly into your Mac?
Years of Windows use and equipment manufacturers have conditioned you to use install disks for everything, including plug-and-play hardware. You'll find that a lot of hardware will just work if you plug it in.

  • How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini?

    How do I install Photoshop Elements 6 on the Mac-mini? I keep getting the following message:
    x Installation cannot continue until the following applications are closed:
    flash_server
    Please close the application(s) listed above and click "Try Again" to continue the installation. Click Cancel to exit Setup.
    How can I resolve this problem without screwing anything up? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your right. It won't make any sense to subscribe for a software that I don't own. I have CS5 on my Dell Laptop which has been giving me issues, so I re-installed the Operating System along with all my editing programs and nothing more. So I can toggle between the Mac and the PC to get the job done in the meantime. I will eventually get CS6 for the Mac.

  • How can i install 8 gb ram on a mac mini early 2009 when it says i dont need the EFI firmware 2.1?i can only install 4 gb but the side of OWC says i can install 8 gb? what to do?

    i have a mac mini early 2009 and i want to install 8 gb ram but it doesn,t work.
    it says on the OWC site that i have to install the EFI firmware 2.1 update but it won,t let me,it says(the mac mini)that i don,t need this update.
    my kernel is 32bit but my EFI is 64 bit,how can i install 64 bit so i can use the 8GB cause with 32 bit i can,t use more than 4gb ram

    Check your computer's EFI Boot ROM version;
    1. From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac
    2. Click More Info Under Contents
    3. Select Hardware
    If your Mac mini's Boot ROM version is the following or more recent, then you do not need the update to use 8 GB of RAM;
    Boot ROM Version: MM31.0081.B06

  • How do I install Windows 8 on Mountain Lion (mac mini) 2010 Server using bootcamp with out Optical Drive?

    I have a 2010 Mac Mini server running 10.8.4 (12E55).  I just bought a brand new copy of Windows 8 from micrsoft.  I have tried using boot camp and it will not recognize a burned DVD in my remote optical drive on my laptop running windows 7 or my macbook running Lion 10.7.5.   I have had Microsoft on both of my computers remoted in for about 8 hours and they tried just about everything that I've tried.
    Microsofts tech support has made me a bootable DVD and a bootable Flash Drive through remote desktop (awsome good job microsoft tech support).  I have even tried formatting my mac mini's second 500GB hard drive to FAT32 using this whole disc as my windows partition.  I know that when I go to install windows 8 it is going to reformat the drive to NTFS but all the articles that I've found, say this is what you have to do to get the drive formatted properly to get the ball rolling and get windows will fix it when it goes to install by reformatting to NTFS. 
    Ok so right now I have my second 500GB hdd on my mac mini formatted to FAT32 and I have tried to reboot holding my option key like I do on my mac book.  If I want to boot to a different hdd on my macbook all I do is hold the OPTION key during start up and you get prompted to choose one of the bootable disc that is on your computer.  Well if I put my USB drive which is bootable on my macbook into my macbook and do this right now its not showing up. 
    Now I just put the DVD that they made me in my macbook and it shows up as bootable disc.  But the USB doesn't.  (1 hour later)  I just got microsft to remake the USB drive and am going to try that again so ta ta for now and I'll come back on to post to tell you if it works.

  • How do I install windows 7 with bootcamp on Mac mini from USB

    I have read every help thread and tried them all but nothing seems to work.  Here is what I've tried.
    1.  Running each step in bootcamp multiple times and individually.
    2.  Two different ISO files downloaded from the win7 community.  Links I found on these forums.
    3.  When the "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" is on the screen I have tried a hard wired keyboard.
    4.  I've tried every USB slot on the machine.
    5.  Shocking myself with a dog collar to get a bright idea.
    Nothing has worked, especially 5.  If someone can see what I am doing wrond or knows a way to fix it, please let me know.

    have you tried rebooting holding the alt key and booting into your windows drive?

  • How do i install adobe flash flyer to my mac book pro laptop im unable to watch any video on you tube or ay where

    How do i install adobe flash flyer to the mac book pro laptop .it states my adobe is out dated i need to install a newer version. 

    Go to this link to download the installer and this link to determine which version you have installed. Always get extensions like this from the publisher (in this case Adobe) and not from some website that says you need an extension and offers to install it for you since you may end up with malware instead.
    BTW, once the current version of Flash is installed, you can set its preferences to update automatically in the background.

  • How do I install Lion on more than one Mac

    How do I install Lion on more than one Mac?  As I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac?

    Purchase Lion on one of the machines.
    Log in to the MAS with the other machine, using the same Apple ID you originally bought Lion with. Go to the Purchased Tab and Lion should be available for download. It should say Install.
    It's possible that you will be asked for credit information as a form of verifying who you are.

    You don't have installer discs with that model. What do you need to do? USB and Thunderbolt external drives do not require any special software. If you need to partition and format them, then use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

  • How do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the household using one 20 dollar license?

    how do you install mountain lion on all your macs in the houshold with the same license (you only pay 20 bucks for all your macs) is that right?

    As long as they're all logged into the Mac App store with the same Apple ID, you can re-download the installer to all the Macs.
    Or you can save a copy of the installer file before you run it and use that to update the other Macs. The ML installer file will appear in your Applications folder when it's done downloading. Copy it to another location (don't move it).
    If you don't copy it before you upgrade, it will disappear when ML is finished installing.
