Coby Voice Recorder CXR-190 wont work with MAC - any solutions?

what format is the recorder in mp3? it should copy over with no problem. can your mac recognize the player? try disc utilities

Hi there,
Which operating system are you using? This recorder has known issues with windows vista and windows 7 as well as Mac OS.
If you're using one of the above windows operating systems, try right clicking on the installer (setup.exe) file, select "properties". When the properties windows opens, select the compatability tab, and choose windows XP SP3 from the drop down menu, as well as click the box next to "run this program as administrator". That should run the installer as though you are running windows XP, and it should work.

The CX-R190 is not designed to be compatible with the Mac. However, if the recordings you want are on the microSD card, you can simply remove the card from the recorder and insert it into a card reader (either built-in to your computer or connected via USB or FireWire) and copy the files the same way you copy any other files on your Mac.

I just spoke with the CobyUSA manufacturer (www.cobyusa.com) and the telephone rep said the COBY CXR190-2G is
-- NOT compatible with Windows7
-- there is no patch available.

Hi

the voice recorder should work instantly when plugged into the mac, it should show up as a removable stroage device, or a removable drive, like any other external hard drive or usb stick would on a mac.

you don't need a driver to transfer or listen to the recordings from the recorder on a mac.

Hi,

First things first: DO NOT take any more videos or audio with the recorder that you want to recover files from in case you may quite possibly ruin your chances of voice memo file recovery.

Then connect your recorder to another PC with a recovery program installed. Photo Recovery Software (also recover Voice memos, audio and video files) is right what you need to use if you are running Windows. If you are Mac OS X users, turn to Data Recovery for Mac.

But you should remember - the more you use your recorder, the less likely you may be able to recover the deleted files back! So STOP using the device ASAP. Good Luck!

I have a Sony and it's doing the same thing. I actually borrowed my friend's and he has an RCA recorder, it was so simple, you just plug and play.

I need to know what model mac you have. This would help. Also what operating system you are using. Older macs may not be compatible unless you update the system. The latest macs with the intel chip work fine with this. Once quick solution is to update your software to the latest versions by going to your apple with your mouse in the upper left corner of your screen and then clicking it. Scroll down to the title software update. click that and then click update now. Check the boxes of all you want to update and then hit enter. *Note: you must be connected to the internet in order to make these updates. I would suggest being connected something faster than dial up.
After you have done your updates, try to reconnect the Marantz. Remeber to connect it first then turn it on.
Another solution is to format the card on your mac first by using a card reader and the program Disk Utilities located in your utilities folder. It is important to choose the Fat 32 format (You will see this in your pull down menu). Note: This will erase everything on your card.
If you have a card reader, you can always take the card out of the recorder and try to read it that way as there may be a communication issue with the mac and the recorder, but if it can be read on the PC and not the mac, I doubt that is the issue.

I bout the Olympus ws-21os that supports mac but it only supports wma so I had to buy easy wma that converts wma to aiff, wav,m4a or mp3 for $10.00

you can only download it on windows and save as.wav and then copy it on the Mac. I couldn`t find any other way
