Sony ICD-P620 mp3 recorder compatible with Mac

I just purchased a Sony ICD-P620 mp3 recorder but when I inserted the USB into my Mac, nothing came up. Is it not compatible or is there a way I can trouble shoot to make it so the Mac will recognize it?

Sony does not in any way support the use of the IC series on any Mac hardware. All of the IC units are hard coded to work on PC and there are no Sony  drivers available for your unit.  The only thing I can suggest would be to record the playback from your recorder into a program like audacity audacity.sourceforge.net  Either that or use Parallels or  Boot Camp, and export the audio to the mac in a Wav or MP3 format.  To use Boot Camp, you need the Boot Camp Assistant, which is located in Applications > Utilities.

  • Are all MP3 players compatible with Macs?

    I just bought a Creative Nomad MuVo TX FM MP3 player, only to find that it is designed for a Windows/PC environment. It does not recognise songs which have been loaded onto it through iTunes. Does anybody know how to fix this - or is it the case that only Ipods are compatible with Macs?

    If I'm understanding you correctly, the Creative Nomad MuVO TX is appearing as a valid device inside the "Source" list of iTunes, but the files you copy over are not playable on the device? If that's the case, it's likely to do with iTunes having a default CD import file format of M4A and not MP3.

  • Mp3 player compatible with mac

    I was looking for a non ipod that is compatible with the
    mac 10.4 os.
    i want the fm radio option and disposible battery option .
    i want to be able to use itunes to transfer songs.
    any recommended models
    thanks

    As iTunes is basically an iPod only affair here are some thoughts. 
    FM Radio is an option on the iPod by using the Apple Radio Remote.
    Replacement iPod batteries are widely available (I just Googled for 'iPod Batteries').
    But if you're sure...
    This application allows you to sync iTunes playlists with an mp3 player that mounts as a volume on the desktop (I'm using it with my PDA Phone (with a 512Mb MMC card) - but it's a poor, poor relation to my wife's Nano with proper iTunes integration). So this application will work with any mobile Phone/PDA or mp3 player with removable media and a card reader.

  • Is Sony DCR HC 96 MiniDV compatible with MAC

    I have read mixed reviews on this - some folks say they have been able to use it with iMovies (through firewire) while others have not.
    Is this model from Sony compatible with imovie HD? Any feedback on usage or experience ? Thanks very much

    Hi Vikmac:
    Welcome to discussions!
    While I own several Sonys that work very well with the Mac, I do not own the Sony DCR HC 96.
    But, as long as you have the proper 4-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, I see no reason at all that it wouldn't work!

  • Sony HDR-SR1 compatible with mac?

    I just bought the new sony handycam HD camcorder with the built in hard drive but was shocked to find that it did not come with software for Mac. Fortunately, I have an old windows machine so I installed the the software necessary to import the videos from my camcorder onto my PC. However, I do not want to use my windows anymore. Does anyone know if sony camcorders just aren't compatible with macs or is there some way for me to import my videos directly onto my apple?

    Have a look, via Google, for converters to change the .mts video format into something compatible with DV. You may have to run the converter software on your PC, as I can find only a Linux (not Mac) converter, and some PC software. Having converted it to DV format, you'd have to copy the resultant file(s) to your Mac ..probably by plugging in an external hard disc to first one and then the other. Cumbersome, I know.
    There is no support for the AVCHD format - as Kirk says - in iMovie at present. We'll have to wait and see what iMovie HD 7 brings. But that should be quite soon..

  • Why isnt my new sony camcorder compatible with mac?

  • Is a Sony camcorder High Def model SR11 compatible with Mac?

    Now I have another question...I just bought a Sony camcorder HD SR11 (High Definition)...via email through BestBuy and I was told that I would not be able to import my movies to my IMac using iMovie because Sony's software does not support Mac so they told me to buy Adobe Premier Elements 4.....so I did..I have not tried it yet because I have not received the camcorder but I do not want to open it and pay a restocking fee if it is not going to work.....Is it going to work or should I just exchange the camcorder for another one that is compatible with Mac...and if so any brands I should keep in mind??????

    i too just bought this camera.
    iMovie doesn't see the camera? everyone on these forums says it does though, any ideas why mine wouldn't. I'm not really familiar with iMovie as i use FCP but... " command i" should recognize the camera should it not. it's in USB mode on the camera.
    iMovie 8 updated latest
    Dual Quad Core 3 Ghz Intel
    also running FCP Studio2 which doesn't recognize usb cameras
    i thought buying a hard drive camcorder would eliminate the hassle of tape. so far not so good!!!

  • Mini Disc player - compatible with Mac

    Hi, could someone suggest a good MD player that is compatible with Mac. I´ve heard that the Sony MZ-RH10 that can transfer data through USB doesn´t work so well. Has anybody experience with this model?
    Any oppinions of buying a cheeper MD player (without the USB transfer possibility) and transfer material from the MD-player in real time to the computer. Recording the MD material as analog audio. Does someone use that technique and how does it work?
    Thanks in advance.

    How do you know it's ML compatible?
    But you do know that it's only software, yes? You'll need hardware = a Blu-ray drive as well.

  • A good High Definition camcorder that is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5?

    ok, i need to find a good HD camcorder for my macbook pro which uses imovie 08, but i am using imovie HD 6. my budget is around $250 and i am willing to purchase on ebay. i recently bought an HD camera off ebay for $130, it was good but i found out later it wasn't compatible with MAC! so, i need a little bit of help from anyone who knows anything about ebay, hd cameras, and mac support.
    and one more question, is the Aiptek hd camera supporting Mac? - because is records in HD .MOV format which is mac format. (quicktime).

    Those little Aiptek things, though supposedly shooting in hi-def, use high compression which iMovie HD 6 just can't deal with. If you buy one of those, you'll have to run the video through other programs first in order to make it compatible with iMovie 6.
    They usually record in something like 720p ('progressive') mode, which iMovie generally doesn't like: it expects to receive normal i ('interlaced') video ..the kind which standard-def broadcast television generally uses.
    A hi-def picture needs to be nice and stable for you to get the best out of it - otherwise it's just as much a wobbly blur as standard-def. So for good results you want a camera which has an image stabiliser built in. I don't think the cheap'n'cheerful Aipteks do.
    Even though the Product Description may say "..A-HD is your 720p HD Camcorder, Digital Camera, and Personal Media Player/Recorder! Captures true to life, vibrant colors and astonishing High Definition images like you've never seen, right in the palm of your hand.." ..that's just advertising blurb or twaddle, of course. Who says that these are images "..like you've never seen.."? ..If you have already seen images from a JVC, Sony, Canon or other decent brand hi-def camcorder, then those from the Aiptek camcorders are pretty disappointing. But no advertiser is going to spend money to say "..images far more disappointing that those of other camcorders.." ..are they?
    So - as Karsten suggests - you should be looking for an HDV hi-def camcorder on eBay.
    P.S: You wrote "..records in HD .MOV format which is mac format. (quicktime).." ..but several QuickTime formats - although they do play in QuickTime Player - won't work properly within iMovie (e.g; sound or picture may be missing). Such formats need to be converted into another .mov, or .DV format before trying to use them in iMovie.

  • Camcorder compatible with mac

    I am going to buy a new camcorder and was wondering if anyone could recommend any that is compatible with macs. I was looking at the Sony handycam CXR105E. Any ideas anyone?

    Sorry, I posted too hastily!
    As you are posting in the iMovie 6 forum I assume that is what you want to use to edit the video from the camera - it is not much 'compatibility with a Mac' that is the issue, it is more compatibility with the editing software you will be using.
    As far as iMovie 6 is concerned it has to be a camera producing DV from tape and connected via firewire.
    Post back if that didn't answer your question!

  • External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

    So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?
    Message was edited by: philliesphan

    I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)
