Cable Forum - View Single Post - Unreadable CD-R ... or is it?

**Chris** · 18-08-2011, 11:35

A photographer has sent me some pictures on a CD-R which my iMac says is blank, or sometimes says 'this disc is not readable by this computer'. But our Philips DVD recorder in the lounge recognises it as a data disc and plays the pictures back as a slideshow.

I really need to get the pictures off the disc and onto the computer ... I've emailed the photographer to see if he can email them or use FTP but in the meantime, is there anything I can try on the Mac?

It's an iMac, fully up to date with Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
