srizvi1 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'll be able to tell you soon. I have my new refurbished 15" 2.2ghz MacBook Pro w/ a Leopard drop in disc on the way and it should be arriving tomorrow. Once I get it, I'll be pulling some stuff off of my minidiscs onto it. I'll post my updates to this thread in case you want to subscribe to it or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srizvi1 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) Where's the best place to download the software? I got my Mac up and running. I have done some recordings with my Minidisc that I want to import too. I don't feel like going downstairs and finding my RH1 box though with all the software Edited November 9, 2007 by srizvi1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 The downloads section here in the forums has the most recent version of the software.I wouldn't recommend installing the software that came with the RH1, as it lacks some fuctionality present in the newer version.

srizvi1 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 ok, downloaded.. I'll install and work with probably sometime over the next few days.

geoffb Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hi, any mac users with leopard have tested the Hi-Md transfer for mac?? Does it work with the new OS X Leopard?? Marcmy experience so far is that it is not compatible - I have upgraded my G5 to Leopard and tried to use MD-Transfer and no files showing. The disk will mount on leopard but seems that Leopard does not gel so far with MD-Transfer. Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon. I wont put Leopard on my g4 laptop until this is ironed out, a shame as leopard is great (although a few people have had a few probs I know looking a the Apple forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Leopard , isnt going to run MD Transfer 2.0 , Sony stopped developement on it because they stopped the Portable MD line , their recording is going Flash based . I am also on Mac , and will not upgrade to Leopard , Tiger is fine , I dont need 3D desktop , a flash and fluff , just a machine that works .

gblasius Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Sorry, completely confused by this thread! I have a MZ-RH1 and am using Mac OS 10.4.11; I downloaded Hi-MD Music Transfer Version 2.0.00.06273 from the Sony website and...nothing. Downloading is not a problem on my PC running Sonic Stage, so I know its not the hardware. I can't find the 'software downloads' section of this forum (no links here)...any help???

The problem is that it just doesn't 'see' the Hi-MD when it is connected via a USB cable. To ensure the hardware, etc was OK, I installed 'Sonic Stage' on a Wintel laptop...no problems, saw the external drive ok, downloaded the recordings, no problem. Via Apple (Mac OS 10.4.11), using Hi-MD Music Transfer, nothing. Apple Finder doesn't report mounting any device either. Your help appreciated.

Sixx Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I installed Hi-MD Transfer v2 on MacBook Pro (with Leopard, 10.5.1), connected mz-rh1, started the Hi-MD Transfer app and everything works.I don't use the HI-MD monitor, because it's PPC only application and runs as daemon in background so it's better to start Hi-MD Transfer manually.Anyway, importing/exporting work with no problems here.

tbbeqa Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hi, any mac users with leopard have tested the Hi-Md transfer for mac?? Does it work with the new OS X Leopard?? MarcI need to revise my first reply. When I went to my new MacBook Pro, I simply transfered all my programs via the Macintosh system using a firewire cable. This did not install the driver for the MD device I suppose, and the MD device was not detected when I launched the Hi-MD music transfer program.I reinstalled the Hi-MD Music Transfer program and it works.Bottom line there is no need for any upgrades to use the latest version of the Hi-MD music transfer program to operate on Leopard.

Sixx Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 wow , ok cool , so how did you seperate the MD monitor from the Transfer prog , It loads both when installing . or did you manually remove the Monitor?You don't need to separate or remove anything. Leave it in you Applications folder, just foloow these steps:1. Run the installer and install both: Monitor and Transfer apps.2. Then go to System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and delete Hi-MDmonitor from the list.3. Open Activity monitor, find and quit the process, or restart computerThat's it...Next time you connect your Hi-MD unit to your computer you have to start Hi-MD Transfer manually, everything else works great.

Leopard runs fine. 10.5.1 is pretty stable and Hi-MD software works on it as well...I doubt there will be an update for Hi-MD Transfer app, because I have heard Sony abandoned its development.

elishasessions Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Running a Powerbook G4 with Leopard, and it works, albeit strangely.When I downloaded a fresh 2.0 version of the app and installed on my system, what I got was a folder, instead of an app.I opened the folder, opened "Contents", opened "Mac OS", then launched "Hi-MD Music Transfer", which in turned launched the Terminal as well as the app itself. The Terminal sat there and logged everything the app was doing.For some reason, Leopard isn't seeing it as an application package but as a folder.It works, though! Whew!

There is a lot of misinformation out there on this important topic. Can you make it more visible, please? Even minidisco has it wrong on their M200 page.

Mitmensch Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) Running a Powerbook G4 with Leopard, and it works, albeit strangely....hi, everyone. I have a problem with the program v.2.0 running on the C2D 2.4Ghz Macbook with OSX10.5.2before viewing this thread, my macbook can detect my RH1, but i can do nothing with it except using it as an external device. And with the Hi-MD transfer program installed, the program can show the recording data in the program window, but still I can do nothing with it.after viewing the thread, and tried the way mentioned, I cannot do anything except viewing the titles of the recording data only with the program on my Macbook.I have read the notes of the programAnd I wonder if there is a solution to the program running in the OSX10.5.2.please tell me and thanks a lot !!!

johnwesleybarker Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi,I've recently upgraded to Leopard.As I write, it's version is 10.5.4 When I ran Hi-MD Transfer for my MZ-RH1, which I still had in my Applications folder from Tiger, it didn't work. So I followed the advice here and went to http://support.sony-europe.com/dna/downloa...x?l=en&f=MT and followed the installation instructions there and restarted my MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB). Hi-MD Transfer now works perfectly well with Leopard 10.5.4 and I am SO pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) I'm pretty sure "mdworker" is related to spotlight and not anything MiniDisc related. It's footprint should decrease, and/or it should disappear from the activity monitor after it's done it's indexing stuff I'd guess.

I think Leopard incorporates more native code than Tiger does so it's actually LESS processor intensive than earlier versions. The OS is larger, but takes less to run it which is pretty cool. On my duel G5, I see no speed diff. between 10.5 and the earlier versions....except that I've got no music transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
