If you have a file with the MDS extension, it might be a Media Disc Image file. These files are similar to ISO image files and usually contain information that’s been ripped from a disc. If you’re using a Mac, there are a few different ways that you can open an MDS file.
One way to open an MDS file is to use the Disk Utility application. This program is included for free on all Mac computers and can be found in the Utilities folder, which is located in the Applications folder. Once you’ve opened Disk Utility, click on File > Open and select the MDS file that you want to open.
Disk Utility will then mount the image and make it available as if it were an actual disc inserted into your computer.
Another way to open an MDS file is to use Apple’s built-in Archive Utility program. This program is also included for free on all Mac computers and can be found in the Utilities folder (which is located in the Applications folder).
To open an MDS file using Archive Utility, double-click on the file and wait for it to expand; this may take a few moments depending on the size of the file. When it’s done expanding, you should see a new disk icon appear on your desktop with the same name as the MDS file – double-click this icon to access the contents of the image.
- On your Mac, open Finder
- In the sidebar, click Applications
- Double-click the Utilities folder
- Double-click Terminal
- In the Terminal window, type: cd /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6/Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6

- 7Type: open -a Adobe\ Photoshop\ CS6 myfile and press Enter to open the file in Adobe Photoshop CS6

How to Run Files on Mac
If you’re a Mac user, you know that there are certain things you can do on your computer that just can’t be done on a PC. One of those things is running files.
There are two ways to run files on Mac: through the Terminal or via an app.
If you’re comfortable using the Terminal, then this method is probably best for you. If not, then an app is probably the way to go.
To run a file through the Terminal, first open up the Terminal application.
Then, use the “cd” command to change into the directory where your file is located. For example, if your file is in your Documents folder, you would type “cd Documents” (without the quotes) and hit Enter.
Once you’re in the right directory, simply type “./filename” (without the quotes) and hit Enter.
This will execute your file. Easy peasy!
If using the Terminal scares you a bit or if you just prefer using apps, there are several options available to help you run files on Mac.
Some popular ones include Automator and AppleScript Editor. These apps allow you to create workflows that can automate repetitive tasks – like running a file over and over again.
Conclusion
If you have a file with the MDS extension, chances are it’s a Media Disc Image file. These files are created by Alcohol 120%, and they contain all the information needed to burn an image to a disc. If you want to open one of these files on your Mac, you can use the built-in Disk Utility application.
