As in a mini disc for audio? Or do you mean a mini DVD disc?
In the latter case:

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.

    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • How to get a mini disc out of the drive?

    Hi all. I have just made the stupid mistake of putting a mini disc inside my G4 and i cant get it out by ejecting. It is not even detected by the system. People have recomended restarting the system and holding down the mouse button, but that did not help. Others have recomended sliding a business card into the slot, however I'm reluctant to try that due to fear of damaging my system. Is there any safe way to professionally remove this disc? Any help is much appreciated.

    The absolute safe pro way is to pull the drive and open the top. Sorry a pain I know.
    There are other ways, some more dangerous than others

  • Mini Disc stuck and won't eject!

    My friend just stuck one of those mini-disc things into my DVD/CD slot. (You know, those mini versions of a cd)..anyway, I've tried doing what Disc Utility said to but its not working...PLEASE HELP!!

    Your best option...
    Get a thick piece of paper and fold it in half.
    Tear that in half and stick it in all the way.
    Try to get that behind the disc.
    It should pop right out.

  • Importing Mini-Disc into my G5 - urgent

    I have a Sony Mini-Disc which I do interviews with. It has a 'PCLink, which has a USB entry into the MAC and a plug which enters into the Sony Mini-Disc (mic. or line out jack).
    How do I download the interview onto my MAC, to then put it on CD to be reviewed on any PC? Do I capture it with iTunes? iMovies? any other way?
    I have an interview in a couple of hours and would appreciate any help as soon as possible.
    Thanks

    You need a firewire to analog converter.
    Canopus Grass Valley makes a number of them. From pretty inexpensive to more expensive:

  • Using DVD-R mini discs with iMovie

    Good Day,
    I am totally new to iMovie. I have a Sony dvd-r mini disc (4*, 1.4gb) with video footage and want to transfer it onto my Powerbook and into iMove for manipulation. I understand that the slot-loading feature does not accommodate mini-discs, so what are the ways that I can get this footage to where I want it?
    I tried to email the folder with the video files in it, but I cannot open it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Lyndon,
    as I see, we have two problems to solve:
    * getting the data
    * using the data
    as you wrote, and that is correct, please don't slip any miniDVD into your drive.. some say, no prob, many broke their drives doing so...
    so, you wrote, you email the folder... 1.4Gb of data... mailing? how did you accomplish that? what is the size of that data/folder/whatever which is on your Mac?
    if the miniDVD was "finalized" (read camcorders manual) you should see a folder called VIDEO_TS, containing many... stuff. you should be able to "open" that folder by using your Mac's dvdplayer app (choose open folder)... plays fine? ok, step 2...
    Step 2)
    welcome to step 2! <<note to myself: don't watch too much Python!>>
    now, we need conversion...
    in the list in Sue's posting, choose DVD2DV... a good beginners prg AND it offers a tryout (stamps some watermark in the pic, but anyhow)...
    try it, use it - when ok, buy it!
    come back for further questions...
    and now to something completely different.............

  • Sony mini disc to garage band

    I have a sony mini disc and have downloaded the digital audio to my powerbook g4 garage band in the past by cable - sony md headphone to powerbook optical line in.
    However --- for some reason (I wonder if it's because I accepted a garage band upgrade), I am unable to record to garage band....??
    I fear that it is user error somehow.
    Any help???
    thanks!
    Laura

    Hi Laura
    I use a Sony mini disc to record audio and I connect it's line out (my has
    both optical and electrical out in the same connector) to the mic in on my
    Mac. This work's nicely in iMovie at least.
    (One can import the audio in iMovie and then save as QT (expert setting) and
    as .aiff sound only to be used in eg. iTunes or Garageband.)
    This might need QT-pro upgrade.

  • A mini disc will not work in superdrive.  How would you suggest I retrieve the data from a mini disc to my macbook air?

    Reading the previous comments, I understand the last thing I want to do is stick a mini-disc in my superdrive.  Not too super, but never mind.
    Any suggestions as to how I can read it?  It has the user's manual for my new actioncam.

    buy a tray loading LG DVD drive from best buy or amazon.com
    theyre only $30
    they work perfect on the Air (i know)  and have a MUCH longer cable for ease of use than does the superdrive.

  • Apple's mini-disc adapter

    i know that Apple recently got a patent and whatnot for a mini-disc adapter thing (http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/11/29/appledeveloping_mini_disc_adapter_for_slot_loadingdrives.html) but does anyone know when said adapter will be available to the public?
    thanks

    You will know when we all know - When you see it for sale on Apple's Online Store site.

  • Recording to garageband from mini disc using the i mic

    When I am recording in to garageband I get a very loud clicking which I am sure is not good for my speakers. I am turning the metronome off when I create the track that I am recording onto. I have looked at other reasons for this but can find none.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    If I were you, I would use another program for recording and then remove the click. Audacity is a free recorder/editor that can probably do the trick. Then you can import it into garageband.
    The click can be caused by a difference in "voltage" (the electric potential) on both sides: if the mini disc has a different "zero" level (the average of its output, sometimes called the DC level) than your iMic, you can get a click and the only way to get rid of it is using balanced inputs and outputs (which is probably not an option).
    If it is the DC level, you'll need to get rid of that as well before importing the file into Garageband. I think Audacity has a "remove DC" filter.

  • Is there an adapter for the mini discs to use in the Mac

    I have one of the mini discs that I received with my new Blackberry which will get eaten if i try to use the disc slot on my lap top, does Apple make some type of adapter to be able to read these mini discs?

    You can buy an adapter, look for  info HERE

  • Mini disc stuck

    I was trying to put some software on my iBook G4 and put a mini disc in the CD slot. It went in but never sounded like it went in and I have tried to remove it by restarting holding down the mouse button and it is still in the slot. Any ideas of what I can do next? Thanks.

    Tilt the computer so that the optical drive's opening is downwards; it may then fall out with or without telling the computer to eject the disk. You may also be able to get hold of it by inserting an item such as a business card while holding onto one end of the card.

  • Mini disc stuck in my imac

    How do I remove a mini disc that is stuck in my new intel imac? the eject button is useless. <Edited by Moderator>
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    You could turn it on it's side and hope that it falls out, but you'll probably have to take the iMac to your local Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and have them extract the disc from it.
    Have a look at your Intel iMac User's Guide:
    *Chapter 2 page 21 say's:* +It can write music, documents, and other files to standard-size CD-R,+
    +CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD±R Double Layer (DL) discs.+
    and *Chapter 4 page 50 say's:* +Use only a _standard size_ disc.+
