I recently got a iRiver 890 series and finally used it this past saturday. I use a Mac to edit and I'm having trouble getting the audio onto my Mac. I got the iRiver refurbished and without accessaries. I do have the T10 with all its accessaries. I use that USB to hook up to my computer. Apparently the iRiver was made to use with a PC. I have a PC laptop but it wants me to install the software which is for the T10. I think there's a problem.

Does anyone know how I can get the audio from my iRiver and put it on my Mac?

Sean, someone already asked that question in this thread. I posted this link:

I don't have a mac, so can't give you more hints, but check it out.

thanks a lot, you guys are always on point!

What about Mac users
 

As far as I can work out all irivers are not Mac compatible.
Does anyone know of a Mac friendly alternative.

What about the two posts above yours ? Have you tried that with IRivers ?

Yeah, Chris is right, as noted above in the thread, compatibility is practically a no-brainer. The application is called iRiver Music Manager, and it is available for both Mac OS9 and Mac OS X. Works like a charm.

IFP firmware
 

I bought a couple of 899s a while back & have just started messing with them .. as it turns out they have the newer firmware loaded on them that won't allow any recording above 96kbps .. I can NOT for the life of me find the older revisions of firmware on Iriver's site. Can anyone point me in the right direction (maybe I'm overlooking something)? I have to get this squared away before Saturday!!

What versions do you guys run & is there anyway that you could copy the current firmware out of your 899 unit & send it to me?

Thanks in advance!

Easy to find on the iriver site. Go to support/download. Fill in model, etc.

Here's the direct link to the latest firmware:

There's a different procedure which you must follow if you have the UMS firmware installed. Check here:

Thank you very much Vito .. I figured I was going to all the wrong places on their site!

I just picked up 2 899s as well and you guys just saved me a big hassle. Thanks!
