Can this read 3"CD, taken from my CD-camcorder. Ive wanted to extract it since 2008 and my iMac can't do it. Thanks in advance.

I don't have a 3 inch CD to do a test but I would say yes because this drive is not a slot loader like your iMac, it is a tray loader so you can pop any size CD onto the spindle.

The design of the drive should allow you to read the smaller 3" disk. Wether the data is in a format that you can use is another question which I cannot answer. The drive tray is actually the drive so you mount your disk directly on the spindle not a tray.

I don't know for sure. It has a tray that comes out to insert the CD / DVD so it might.

but is this (or other dig cameras) compatible w/older Macs, like the antiquated imac OS 8.5 that I own??? I've gotten conflicting answers to that question from local computer and/or camera salespeople. The camera salespeople say yes, no problem w/your old mac - just download via cable to usb after installing driver on cd. the mac specialist salesguy claimed my imac was too old a system for digital camera compatiblity. but then he was trying to sell me a new Macbook. So - what's the truth? Thanks for any response!

Does your computer have a card reader? If so put a card in the card reader and put the cd in your computer and transfer the photos from the CD to the card. BUT SERIOUSLY MINE IS BROKE ALREADY. I WOULDN"T BUY THIS ONE. It is just crappy.

this info was great, i found this via google, I just got my camcorder (62) in the mail from amazon and I was researching how to get the video when I realized the CD didn't have mac stuff on it. I hope I can use imovie, it has great simple DVD templates!

I don't know if it is compatible with Apple computers. It didn't work on mine. The computer with Windows 7 froze up when I tried to read the CD.I returned the equipment.

I use with PC. The factory spec say it is compatible with Mac. One of the amazon stores is much cheaper on the price. It's a bulk camera without install CD. But I prefer to go to the logitech web site and download the latest version anyway and never use the CD. Save money!

I wouldn't take a chance. It was supposed to work on my Imac and it read CD's and DVD's but wouldn't burn a DVD. I got a new drive from Apple and it works like a charm. I don't trust this product.

Did you have the same CD player with your old reciever? My guess would be that if anything is going wrong as far as reading a data disk as music, it would have to do with what you were using to read it, not the reciever. I'm actually surprised that you had a system that could use a data disk in such a way, because I've never seen one work like that.

Sorry, butI do't know iMac...Sometime I've the same problem with my HD, resolved with Disk Utility Repair Permissions or or Disk.If in Disk Utilities you don't see the disk, find to link the disk with an USB 2/3 cable with a termination like GoFlex..

Hi! I've brought songs that had been recorded by my Sony recorder to computer...onto a CD with no problem.Hope this helps! I love its quality!

Well, I bought mine a few days ago and recorded some voice /guitar at home. The recorder was easy to use and the results sound clean. It is very easy to transfer into my Mac and to burn a CD. However my CD will not play in my Sony sound system and I was very disappointed to find that the CD is only usable in a computer. I am not at all tech savvy and at age 75, I probably never will be. I even put the wav files through a software that changed them to AIFF bu all I get is a loud buzz from my CD player. Does this sound right?

The quick answer is, No. Actually if you are recording a full CD's worth of music, the actual length will be slightly less, say 78 minutes, with gaps between the tracks and space used to finalize the disc. Also, I think that the specification of 120 mm that you mentioned refers to the diameter of the CD disc, which is 120 mm. I hope this answer helps you out.

I got one but can't access it on my Mac. I know the Mac can "see" it sitting on the USB port, but it doesn't mount it as a volume or do anything else which would let me access its files. Looking for a workaround.

All I can tell you is that it worked for me on my Mac OS X 10.9.4. It is so much fun to have those tapes preserved and my next step is to put them on CD's. Louise Jennings

Most of this era iMac's have a special SuperDrive. It mounts about 1/2" further back than a normal drive. If you substitute a MacBook Drive for one of these, you will not be able to push the CD/DVD far enough into the drive, to allow the mechanism to grab the disk and pull it into the drive. I do not suggest you use this drive. Use the Profile Manager to get the part number of the installed drive, and get that exact one.

I received this camera from my father, during a visit, and played around with it a bit, recording and getting used to it, then I tried inserting the mem card into my 2010 MacBookPro and it can not read it, I can't find the booklet nor the software, I am looking on amazon to find out more about it ....
