I am trying to install jump drive i USB on Imac. Keep getting message, This program cannot be run in DOS mode, following by garble.
I did not think IMAC has DOS mode. Answers?
iMac, iOS 5
You're correct, no DOS mode.
What are you trying to install, or is it just plugging it in that's a problem?
What are you going to use it for?

What is the brand name of this jump drive?
Lexar USB3
Apparently it has some Windows app trying to run from it, can you reformat it in Disk Utility?
Lexar jump drive have encryption software for Windows on them. It will not run on your Mac. I suggest that you yet erase it.

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2741 offers several ways to maintain that encryption software, but it is only for use with Windows on your Mac.
Does IMAC Have DOS mode?
