I should say up front that this not strictly a video question, but relates in terms of recording sounds that are used in multi-media work.

I just purchased two of these recorders and after a recording session I could not access my .wav files when I connected to my Mac. It turns out the files were stored in a .spotlight-v100 folder, which could not be read by the Mac. I was able to transfer them (by using the Marantz transfer file function on the recorder itself) to the MPGLANG1 folder, which could then be read by my computer. My second recorder had the same problem, but this recorder also has a .trashes folder. I read on another forum that these folders are created on Macs, and we can rename and then delete them. I tried that but it only works with the .trashes folder. Although the folders are supposedly not harmful, it is a pain to have my recordings saved in the Spotlight folder, because I have to transfer before being able to be seen by the Mac. I have 2 questions:

(1) What can I do to get rid of these spotlight folders and is there way to insure that the folders do not return next time I connect to my Mac?

(2) Marantz said I should update my firmware. I have downloaded the firmware update, which is supposed to be dragged into the root folder of my SD card. I do not own a card reader, but can connect the card via the USB connection to the Marantz. How do I access the root folder on the Mac (is this just the main window on the No Name folder that appears on my desktop when the Marantz connects via USB)?
