How to transfer file from an Olympus Digital Recorder to iMac

Just guessing, but try plugging in to your Mac with a USB cable, or with whatever cables and slots that the recorder has. You should see the recorder's icon pop up as a new drive on your desktop. Double click on it and you should see a way to access the recordings on the from the recorder. Once downloaded to your Mac you can drag the recording into an iMovie project.

Below are the instructions that I got off the internet. If they don’t work you might consult the recorder’suser manual or the Olympus forum if there is one.

“Connecting Recorders to a PC/MAC

• Before connecting one of the PC compatible devices, make sure power switch is OFF and the display is off. 
• Then plug it into an open USB port. Computers will recognize the recorder as a removable disk drive. 
• Files are saved onto the recorder in WMA format on Olympus recorders (a program which can read WMA files is required) and in lettered folders corresponding to the folder in which you recorded. 
• When connected the recorder display will read “PC” When transferring data, the display will read “BUSY”. DO NOT disconnect the recorder when either message is displayed on the screen.
• BEFORE DETACHING FROM COMPUTER - Remove the detachable device (Eject in Mac OS) and make sure the display is turned off.”
