Are there instructions for using this turntable with mac that do not include PC stuf that just confuses me?

My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac. It would be easy to miss the Mac instructions -- 4 pages in the middle of a 23-page booklet, with all the rest devoted to PC -- but those pages covered everything in Mac-only detail. I bought mine a while ago, and the booklet (and the supplied Audacity program) are out of date. I can't tell you whether an updated manual and program are now included. I can tell you that I updated Audacity on line, for free, and that the settings are in different places than they were in the original version. Similarly, the Mac OS X preferences that you have to set look different than in my copy of the manual.

Gary, I gave the turntable to someone as a Chrsitmas gift, so I'm sorry that I am unable to specifically answer your question. I recommend you contact the manufacturer's customer support department for more information regarding interfacing it to a Mac. I can report to you that the person I gave it to absolutely loved it, and has since moved out of state, so is not readily available to question about his experience. I can tell you that my own personal experience with Mac's is that their "plug and play" designs are excellent, requiring little or no user technical expertise.

It looks like you should be able to. There are audio "in" jacks (1red & 1 white) on the back of the unit. Thereare also a couple of USB ports on the front of the unit but I don't know if turntables are using them now.It is a nice system with lots of power, I like mine!

Hi Coffee Drinker. I'm happy to try to help, though I only drink tea. This turntable must be attached to a receiver (or integrated amplifier, or amplifier + preamp) which has a phono stage. The connectors look the same, but a phono stage must have a much stronger amplifier than, say, a CD player, because a phonograph puts out a much lower signal. If your receiver (or other setup) does not have a phono stage, as many new ones don't (because few people use records any more), then you must get an external phono stage. So, assuming you have a receiver with a phono stage, here's the setup: you plug the 2-wire cable which comes hard-wired into the TT into the phono input of your receiver (left and right, as this is a stereo TT); then of course the receiver is attached to your speakers. If you don't have a phono stage, then you must get an external one to which you attach your TT cable; and then the phono stage is connected to any of the line stages such as the one for a CD player (they're all the same) in the receiver and then the signal plays through your receiver and out to the speakers. Hope this helps.

Hello Susan I purchased this turntable two years ago using Windows 7 no problems I believe you have a faulty unit. Also, I purchased `Spin Again' software for downloading lps. Very easy more user friendly than audacity

Do you need a pre-amp to work with this - connect turntable to pre-amp, connect pre-amp to INport, connect INPort to iMac......

I don't think you need the software to run it on a mac. Pretty much any Mac-based music software will recognize the interface.

I can't figure that out either! It would have been nice that they would include some instructions, huh? I think that part of the problem is that my computer is not compatible with this brand of MP3 player, so when I connect it up, nothing happens. :/ I haven't sent it back to Amazon, yet, though because it is always a pain to return stuff and I'm stubborn and still believe there's a way to get this thing to work! :)

I purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. I am not techie. I have a MAC as well, and did not need the disc. I did have to adjust my preferences in all the applications that I wanted to use the mic in. Only once though. Sorry couldn't be more help.

I do not have a MAC. The software was for the Windows OS. You might contact Audacity to see if there is a download for MAC.

I don't have a Mac! So, no idea. I just hooked mine up, no software needed.

I have been told this recorder will not work with a Mac which has version OSX 10-11-3 EI Capitan

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

I don't have personal experience with that. I never connected mine to a Mac, only a Windows 7 PC.
