Is the 3 inch CD compatible with iMacs.

Are 3 inch CDs compatible with the iMac CD-ROM drive?  I purchased a camcorder which stated it was compatible with a OS 10.4 system.  When I opened the package I then discovered the size of the CD training/editing CD driver.  Has anybody out there ever insert a 3 inch CD into an iMac's side CD drive?   thanks

No, you can only use standard size CDs & DVDs in your iMac's SuperDrive.
see > Using nonstandard or irregular sized discs in optical drives
Depending on the Camcorder, you maybe able to connect it straight up to the iMac?
see > Mac 101: Connect your camera or camcorder
If not, then you will have to use either a tray loading external drive or a DVD recorder to copy the video from the camcorder to a standard size disc.

  • Is the Fujitsu ScanSnap compatible with iMac

    I want a scanner for all my receipts, etc.  Does anyone know if the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 works well with the iMac?  I also am looking at the Neat Desk scanner system.  I don't know which one to buy.

    I am using the newest model iMac with Mavericks.  I just purchased the SCANSNAP IX400, and I ran into the same problem.  I deleted the app folders, restarted the computer, and tried again.  Same error ... the installer to hangs with "less than a minute" of time left, and indicates that it is "running package scripts."  Is there any way out of this mess, before I take the scanner back to the store for a refund?

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I want to purchase iMac i7 and want to know if my pc based LG dvd player (usb) is compatible ? also my external Hard Drive (usb) is it compatible with iMac?

    wiil my PC extermnal dvd player and external hard drive be compatible with iMac ore do I have to by all new stuff?
    Can data be recovered from Hard drive and transfered to new iMac simply?
    Thank you for your time and consioderation,
    depending on this answer will decide if i change over to iMac or not

    All USB drives should be compatible hardware-wise. If the drive is formatted NTFS, then you can copy from it, but not write to it. If it is formatted FAT or exFAT, then you can both read and write.

  • Apple ColourSync 20 inch monitor compatible with G5?

    Is the Apple ColourSync 20 inch monitor compatible with G5?

    Yes, using the DVI to VGA adapter included with your G5 and a VGA to Macintosh Video adapter that you'll have to purchase elsewhere. Griffin has one (the Mac Connect) and you and probably find one elsewhere as well. For full information on monitor compatibility, see:

  • NERO burned DVDs not compatible with iMacs?

    Can anyone confirm that DVDs burned with NERO
    (in this case NTSC, Region 0/NO region code)
    are not compatible with iMacs' DVD player?
    When I insert these DVDs they get mounted, but DVD player can't play them.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Or does the maker of the DVDs have to use special settings in NERO
    to make them compatible?
    Thanks!

    Hi coxorange;
    Since Nero is not an Apple product, I suggest you ask the vendor who wrote it.

  • Latest Blu-Ray burner compatible with iMac 2012 model?

    What is the best, latest external Blu-Ray player and burner compatible with iMac?
    I cannot get a real clear answer anywhere.... It also needs to run in both OSX Lion and Windows through Parallels software.....
    Please can I have makes and models and what is he best iMac software to use? Thanks

    Apple has shunned the Blu-ray format. If you need a Blu-ray drive look at the reviews @ the MacWorld website.
    Be prepared to bleed through the nose for this technology on the Mac side.

  • What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?

    What OCR (optical Character recognition) software is compatible with iMac?
    I am using OS X 10.9.1 on my iMac with an Epson CX8600 printer/scanner.

    My new Brother multifunction came with Presto PageManager. I can't recommend that it in the least. Its OCR is terribly inaccurate to the point of being unusable in my tests. Even normal sentences came out mashed together.
    I wanted to try IRIS, but it has no test version, just videos, that I could find, and emails to them just led to a Windows demo that is irrelevant. They ignored my email asking about a Mac demo, so I could not even try it out. That pretty much knocks it out of the running for me as this software is too expensive to just buy based on their promotional videos alone.
    Then there's Vuescan, and it's not too bad for OCR and supports about every device you could possibly conceive of using, and that's a plus. It was fairly accurate, but not as accurate as Finereader Pro. The interface is a bit complex to my taste.
    I've been testing out ABBYY Finereader Pro, and they do have a demo, and so far it seems to be the most accurate of what I've been able to test. It gets pretty close to everything on English and Spanish, and supports most common languages (check the list on their website). It even properly recognized syllables of phonetic Tibetan (using Roman alphabet, but it will not detect Tibetan). The UI is pretty good, but not perfect and there's no way to train for odd words you might need. I haven't tried it for Chinese or Japanese, but for my purposes, unless I find something more economical, I'll buy this one for its accuracy.
    I really suggest you download demos and try them for yourself as none of these are particularly cheap

  • Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Is Samsung Galaxy 4 compatible with iMac and other Apple products?

    Yes, the s4 is compatible with music and photo transfers between your imac.  I don't have experience with the cloud, but it should be the exact same thing. 
    Now, there will be a few differences between how you get the files onto said device.  With the iPhone, you may be able to do it wirelessly, but with the s4 you will have to plug it in. 
    The s4 will not work with iLife or iLife applications either.  However, bigger screen, more customizable ui and experience with samsung phones personally, I would recommend the s4 over the iPhone 5.

    I got the message "not compatible with this signal" on TV when connecting Apple TV to my Sharp HD TV.

    Go into safe mode an uninstall this new game.
    If this doesn't work, uninstall the graphics driver so Win will install it again after restart.

  • Is the Galaxy S4 compatible with IOS 6?

    is the Galaxy S4 compatible with IOS 6 or any apple software?

    Apple designs and develops their own custom chip sets for iPhones and iPads.
    iOS does not support generic phone hardware because of this.
    Apple would have to do some major rengineering of iOS to support non-Apple devices.
    There is no reason to do this, it would not make them any money and supporting non-Apple devices would be a nightmare.
