If you are using dss player lite, it does not support downloading. It is only a player. If you have Player for Mac version 1, you need to update to version 6. It can be found here.

SOURCE: Foot switch will not respond.

The answer is all in the serial number you use to install the DSS player!

Look carefully and you will see the recorder disk has in my case an [E] printed above the install serial number and the transcription pedal has [T]

Install the same disk with the E the driver is there, the control in Control Panel is there, but the foot switch does not work with the software. Put in the serial number with the [T] and foot switch works first time!

If you uninstall the play and then reinstall with the [T] serial number you do not need to reboot or even unplug the foot switch from the USB.

Bingo

SOURCE: Olympus DSS Player Pro Woes!

There is a small utility called dssclean, which can fix these files for you. Check with your Olympus Pro dealer, as they should be able to provide that for you.
Files usually get this way when a computer or the Transcription Module crashed while a file is open. The system doesn't get a chance to close the file and it remains in "typing mode."
The other, more readily available work around, is to select the file in the Transcription Module, then go to File > Convert File and convert it to a WAV file (it actually only makes a copy of the file). You can then transcribe the WAV file and delete the locked file.

Have just been given the Toshiba Hard Drive PX1396U-3T01, number 2978109s. No install instructions, or paperwork. He is now overseas. How do I install the HD, or get a driver?

Your Toshiba PX1396U-3T01 external HDD is USB-attached, so you'll need to acquire a
standard USB cable to accomplish the physical layer attachment. USB cables do not have
the same connector at each end - the system (computer) end has a USB "A" connector (flat-shaped), and the device end (HDD) has a USB "B" connector (square-ish shaped).

There is no software (driver) needed for this external HDD - support for USB-attached external
drives (either HDD or flash drives) is built into WinXP, WinVista and Win7.

IF your version of MSwindows doesn't want to recognize the Toshiba when you plug it in, try
START > Run > then type in "diskmgmt.msc"

then select the command "Rescan disks."

If you're running Mac OS or Linux, repost including your OS (operating system) info.

I have a Mac book pro, Intel core i7 with 4 Go RAM, OSx 10.6.8., I installed the 7.24 version of the DSS player, but this software not recognize the dictaphone, in the peripherals management, in the second...

Did you try connecting SD card directly into the MacBook Pro? Or are you utilizing the USB port of said computer? The OS X program "iPhoto" should automatically detect a camera plugged into the USB port, and should prompt you to download the photos.

Hello, I am trying to download some recordings from my DS-30 onto my MacBook. How do I do this?

I don't know if a Mac version of software came with your Digital Recorder.

I have a PC, and a similar Digital Recorder. A DS-330 but I'm too lazy to install the software, DSS Player 2002 and then look for the USB cable.

So, I connected the Digital Recorder's Ear directly to the audio-in of the PC via a mono (2 wire) patch cable, with a standard 3.5 mm plug at each end. (As long as it fits in both, the Recorder and your MacBook, it will work). I suspect "The Source" (Radio Shack) may have such item.
You can also use a "stereo" patch cable.

I use Audacity as the sound recorder and then convert it to MP3. There is a version for Mac available too.

If I can be of further assistance, please drop me a line at:

Glad to be of help.
