Transferring recording to a Mac I'm having huge frustrations trying to move my file from the Zoom to my Mac (Garageband). Can anyone walk me through it?

This is just a blind stab in the dark, but since this device uses a flash memory card, it seems to me there must be a USB card reader that you could plug into your Mac, that you could then use to transfer the data directly to your desktop? Like I do with my cameras card? Hope this helps.

I just had the same problem, but no one seems to have offered you helpful advice. I'll put myself on your "receive e-mail when new posts are made," because I'm NOT a techie and the idea of someone walking me through what needs to be done sounds like the answer to a prayer. (Step by step, please, someone!) But I do think I know what my problem is -- I have the new Leopard operating system, and apparently I need to install some update before it will be compatible. I looked at the directions on how to do THAT, and they are beyond me. Maybe my husband, who is better than this sort of thing than I, can help me.

This is a related question. How do you know when the transfer from H2 to Mac is complete?
1300507
Just drag the file into the garageband time line. It will create a new track with the file you placed.

Using the H2 with a Mac running Leopard requires updating the H2 firmware. The update and clear instructions are on the Zoom Japan and Samson Zoom websites. This allows transfers of the H2's files via USB directly from the H2 (v1.4 soft) under Leopard. Otherwise, a USB 2 cardreader will indeed do the trick for import into any program that can use WAV or MP3 files...

Hello Randy, I am Joseph. For some reason as soon as I connect my H2 to my Mac and go to "connect" it downloads the files as STE-0001 etc right into iTunes! I guess from there I will be able to transfer the files to my garageband app.I have not tried that yet but since they are wav files I am thinking it will work fine.

You can use a card reader to copy the file to the computer. I suggest you copy first to the desktop, and then import into Garageband.

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

See the discussion "Flip Not Fitting in Macbook USB." There are a lot of people facing the same problem. I had a little bit of a jerky problem on something I shot outside. I thought mine might be due to the fact that I had zoomed in and out. I need to shoot more video to really figure out what the problem is. Perhaps yours had to do with zooming?

glad you asked that. you need too much. soo much i dont even know.I never got it working, had to stick with my original. Make sure you get one with a usb if its for garageband. Other than that you need a whole program.

Thanks! This looks great for the Mac, but a PC version (or parallel) would be great. Basically I'm looking for a timed way for a camera to come on a specific hour, and record until another hour, and then rotate the video files. Thoughts?

I was using my slot disk for the Mac. I forgot what cable it it that you can use but I googled it and brought it on amazon. You can also just by a USB slot disk and connect it with your computer

I tried just copying the files to my mac and was disappointed I couldn't watch the videos.HOWEVER! I opened iMove (while the SDHC card reader was still plugged in with the card from my FS100 in it) and what to my wonderous eyes should appear!? All of the movies! I could see thumbnails and play them.I just clicked "Import All" and it started importing them. My camera did not need to be plugged in at all :)

No I haven't been able to get the software to work for my MAC...sorry I hope that helps. Sadly not many writers doing MAC software

I don't have experience with MAC. However, I am having issues currently with the system. A cloud change was made and all my records are missing. Not very excited about it at this time.

No one has responded. My tech expert son believes that we will be able to do it. We will try this afternoon. I will hopefully be able to update you on our progress. Only other issue is that I do not have sufficient memory on my MacBook Pro right now...so we will try to transfer "through" the Mac to an external hard drive.

Customer Service told me that on a MAC, one needs to have garageband or quicktime. If you are going to buy a digital microphone, you do not need interface software. Hope that helps!

Absolutely!! I just did it again to make sure I answered your question properly. Plug it in, open your file, select it and copy it. Then you can paste it in any other file in your Mac. I love this little item. And the guy from whom I purchased it was quick delivering it. Good luck.

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 :-)

I'm sure you can. is, records into basic formats; mp4 and AVCHD. so if your Mac will work with you either of these formats you're good to go.

Can you further explain how to format this for Mac -- and can it be interswitched between a Mac and a PC?
