B/W G3 not recognizing USB Flash

Hello,
My Blue/White G3 doesn't recognize my new USB 2gb Portable Mem/Flash Drive. The Manufacturer, Dane-Elec states that the product supports Mac OS 9 and up. I'm running 9.2. My G3 is not connected to the internet.
I wonder if anyone knows of updates/patches I could download to my ibook & then transfer to the G3? Also, is there another product which might be more compatible?
Thanks a million for any advice! MG

Is it recognized if you plug it into your iBook?
What plug are you using? If on you keyboard, try plugging it into the back of the G3.
Try a reset of NVRAM/PRAM - Shut down your Mac, then start it back up while immediately holding the following keys: Command, Option, P and R. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
 Cheers, Tom

  • USB Device Not Recognized - USB device attached has malfunctioned & Windows does not recognize it

    I have an HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook running Windows 7 Home Premium and the USB ports worked fine for an HP deskjet printer and an older Casio digital camera. Then one day, the laptop decided not to recognize the Casio digital camera and gave the error message "USB Device Not Recognized" and also indicated that the device attached to the computer has malfunctioned. This prompted me to buy a new Canon digital camera. Well, a new camera did not fix the problem. Now, anything connected to either of the 2 USB ports will not be recognized by my laptop. Help!  I'm at a loss to figure this out.  I've tried the suggested Microsoft help below: 
    Suggestion 1: For the issue with USB devices, uninstall and re-install all the USB controllers. This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition.
    The USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.
    a. Click Start, type device manager in the Start search box and hit Enter.
    b. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    Note: You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
    c. Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
    d. Repeat the above step for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    e. Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
    f. Check the USB device to see whether it is working.
    This did not correct the problem.  Then from device manager, I tried updating drivers on all the USB controllers and root hubs. While some may have received downloaded software updates, it still did not correct the USB device not recognized problem after restarting the computer.  I'm hoping someone knows of the fix to this situation and can pass it along to me. Thanks for reading and posting any help.

    Hey 655micha, 
    I'm sorry you're having an issue with a USB device. Do you get an error window that pops up? If so what does it say? Have you checked Device Manager? Is is just one device that isn't working? Has it ever worked before? Is it just one USB port in particular that isn't recognizing devices? 
    What model do you have? Here are the steps to find your product number. FN + ESC is the easiest way to find that information. 

  • Not recognizing USB's

    Hi,
    Sometimes my Macbook does not recognize USB's, this includes flashdrives and my ipod. Why is this and is there any solution? I have a mackbook 10.4.11
    Thanks

    I don't know what you mean by is the external drive self powered - I plug it into the USB part of my macbook and it shows up, I try and do the same with the others and they don't show up. No, the external drive does not have other ports.
    As we have been saying, a big issue with Macs is insufficient power through USB. Some devices supply their own power when connected to USB. They may get it from a separate power brick that is plugged into the device, or the device may have a battery in it that supplies the power. Other devices are not self-powered (e.g., flash drives) they get the power supplied through the port, but in many cases that is marginal, especially if the port is being shared through another device. A typical example of that would be a flash drive not getting enough power when plugged into the USB port on a keyboard because the keyboard itself is also consuming power. However, the flash drive will get enough power when plugged directly into the port on the computer. External hard drives often are designed to get power through the USB cable but it's marginal. Then you either use a separate power transformer/brick with the drive, or you plug it into a USB hub that itself is getting power from a transformer, not just the computer.

  • Xserve unlocked but still not recognizing usb peripherals

    I have an Xserve which does not recognize any usb attached peripherals, even though it is unlocked from the front panel.
    In addition the PC monitor is also not recognizing it, and get no video output on it.
    Has anyone else experienced the same issue? How to further diagnose/resolve this problem?

    When I go to Disk Utility, my mac recognizes it, but when I try to repair and verify it says that it failed.
    Sounds like it's very badly damaged, and it may be too much to expect the data to still be intact. However, you can try repairing it with a more powerful utility, like [DiskWarrior|http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html] or [TechTool Pro|http://www.micromat.com>. If neither of those can fix it, then your only options will be using a data recovery tool, such as [Data Rescue|http://www.prosofteng.com> or [File Salvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1], or paying an expensive data recovery service to disassemble the drive and recover what they can.
    Of course, this would all have been avoided if you had backups of your data. In the future, you must have a minimum of three copies of any data you don't want to lose.

  • IMac is not recognizing USB connections. Memory Stick, Elephant Storage do not appear as connected devices anymore. Is there an easy solution?

    Then try smc and pram reset. 
    Did you try the logout/in?  Of course this is redundant if you do the smc and pram reset.

  • Macbook not recognizing USB ports from external monitor.

    I have a Dell Monitor hooked up to the VGA port and have several items (printer, external hard drive) hooked into the ports on the Dell monitor. My Macbook is not recognizing the things that are plugged into the monitor.
    These ports were working at one point but when I moved my setup and had to plug everything back in I can't get the USB ports on the monitor to work.
    Along the same lines...I tried connecting the monitor to my laptop with a USB cable (female port from back of monitor to male port on Macbook) along with the VGA port. This did not fix the problem but I just wanted to know (had my laptop been recognizing the ports) if this was even necessary.
    Since this setup has worked before I'm thinking it is something small that I am missing but any help would be appreciated.

  • Windows 8.1 not recognizing Adobe Flash Player and Adobe help not helpful

    I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bit. I tried to view a video and it said I did not have flash player. I went to download adobe flash player and your website said I had it intergrated into 8.1 and that it was either disabled, not the right version or that active X filters needed to be clear. I followed all instructions. Flash was installed with the 8.1 64 bit version. Flash was enabled for all websites and I cleared the active X filter and I still get told that I don't have install flash because it is intergrated and but it does not work. Please help I am in a cycle where Adobe is not helping just sending me in a circle. Thank you

    Your problems aren't with Adobe or Flash Player. They're with Internet explorer 11 and Microsoft.
    IE11 (Windows 7, 8 & 8.1) has been an abomination since its release October 18, 2013. Yahoo, Facebook, BBC, ESPN and dozens of other sites and domains have had trouble recognizing the Browser. If the site doesn't recognize the browser, it won't recognize any plugins in the browser, including Flash Player. Microsoft was made aware of the problems by millions of users within hours of the release, and so far they've shown no sign that they intend to fix it anytime soon. Their recommendation is to enable Compatibility View for affected pages. Two problems with that are that it's had only limited success, and you must enable it manually for each affected page. Basically, they're telling you to "pretend" you're not using IE11.
    I'm not big on "pretending", and I recommend actually using something different. Something that works where IE11 won't.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Chrome (from Google)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Opera (from Opera)
    ANY of those will work where IE isn't recognized, and they use the Flash Player Plug-in (for other browsers), except for Chrome, which has its own plugin embedded in by Google.

  • Mac not recognizing USB external hard drive

    My Mac OS X 10.5.8 isn't recognizing my Samsung USB external hard drive. The hard drive has already been formatted for a Mac (rather than PC). My computer has recognized the external hard drive before with no problems. I've used it on a campus computer to copy video files from a documentary I was filming, and I've also used it on another campus computer to copy video files from a multimedia piece. I still need these files, so having to erase my hard drive would be DEVASTATING. Now, my computer won't recognize my external hard drive, even when I have it plugged in before turning on my computer.
    When I go to Disk Utility, my mac recognizes it, but when I try to repair and verify it says that it failed.
    It's also not a problem with the external hard drive because I've plugged it into another computer and it is recognized on the other computer.
    What should I do?

  • ITunes does not recognise USB Flash Drive

    Hi everyone,
    I am repeating this request in the hopes that the daytime crowd will have someone who can help!
    I plug a usb flashdrive into my MacBook with iTunes active.
    It comes up on desktop.
    It does not appear as device in iTunes.
    I can move files (albums) to the device from music menu under Go.
    I cannot save my playlists from iTunes.
    How do I get iTunes to recognise the usb drive.
    Thanks,  Steve.

    Hello Limnos,
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Since my initial response I've looked in a little more depth at the track names.
    All my files are stored and played at CD quality from the original CD rather than MP3.
    It appears that track names are extracted from the Library and look a little different from those that appear in the iTunes playlist.
    I see now that the first element of the track name is the track number from the original CD. So if my playlist is made up of 3 CDs then all the track 01s get stored first and played first, followed by track 02s etc.
    I do not think it will take a great deal of effort to renumber the tracks from 01 to xty in what ever order I want them played since I usually play complete albums all the way through.
    Thanks again,  Steve. 
    BTW. Based on this I went out today and bought an 8Gb flash drive that I shall use to take our music with us on holiday.  Saves a great weight in CDs! (and lets us get under new airline weight restrictions)
