Can this recorder be used on a Mac

Leo, I do not own or know anyone who uses a Mac, so I am not able to answer your question. Hopefully there is someone out in cyberspace that has the answer for you. Good Luck

It will work on the Mac if you download VLC media player from VLC.org. It's free.

I don't know why, since in my opinion just the GarageBand app + iRig would be a better option for mac users... But yes -- you just might need the right cable, depending on what you intend to do with it: probably just a cable with a stereo mini-TRS connector (earphone plug type) and a TS or TRS big connector (common guitar-cable plug type), if you want to record from the mac to the recorder.

We purchased a Mac and use Garage Band to do our recordings. You can get a refurbished Mac for just a few hundred dollars and the Garage Band software will probably already be installed on it.

If the question is whether the software on the drive is MAC compatible, the answer is NO. I have a Mac and I just use the device as a flash drive with my information in PDF files on the drive.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about IMac, but I really love this recorder! Very clear recordings.

Jennifer, I don't see why not. It runs on my Mac OS 10.6.8. You'll need to download 'Audacity' though, to transfer and record the analog to your computer. Google it, it's free. Good luck!

If the software can accept an audio file such as an mp3 then it should work fine. If you have to install some kind of software onto the recorder then no.

If your laptop has a mic in plug (most do) you should be able to use your Sony mic. The problem is Windows does not come with a good recording program. You need a program like Goldwave or WavePad to record and then to tweak and edit the sound afterwards. Basically, this recorder is a small computer. Your laptop or Mac should be fine. Keep in mind that the better quality microphone you use, the better the recording will be. You might also consider a small mic mixer, if you want to have multiple microphones.

I am having the same problem. I ended up using my external DVD writer with my Dell. I wanted to import directly to my Mac so I could edit, but Sony didn't put a firewire on this recorder. I can copy the DVD from the camcorder on my PC, but I can't figure out how to edit it on my Mac.

I am sorry, but I used it with Windows. I can tell you that since it was not compatible with my version, it directed me to the website to download the appropriate version and had no problems afterwards. Sorry I can't help you with the Mac OS, since I do not have it. I can tell you that if it were to work with the Mac OS, it is worth it. I must tell you, quality of sound recorded will depend upon the quality of your cassette tape sound, which is almost obvious, but I thought I should mention it. Good luck in finding your answer :-)

It's a USB plug, making an old school assumption about Macs, I'd guess it would have a higher quality on Apple if you're recording. The packaging specifically mentions Macintosh.

It is compatible with Macs. When you plug it in, it acts like a USB thumb drive, so it should appear on your Desktop and in Finder, allowing you to browse through and find your audio recordings.

It should, but not as well as windows version. Check software requirements. Mac version crashes a lot. Consider purpose of use. Also buy a really good mic and not one from nuance, Quality of mic matters a lot! It comes with 30 day money back if buying from nuance.

Use the help title on top right hand side of audacity program. It has a web browser manual on it. As for the settings of microphone to use the cassette player, I don't know it for Mac, but you should set the speaker/controls to cd quality which for pc is 2 channel 16bit 44100Hz. This is for recording devices. Good Luck!

I don't know, as I have only ever connected to a MAC. However, I found the information at the following link very helpful.http://www.gvsu.edu/speaking/troubleshooting-for-the-tascam-dr-05-18.htm
