Recording to a USB jump drive?

Does anyone record to a USB jump drive? I was thinking of getting a 64 gig drive for this purpose and wondered if anyone had any experience with this. Thanks....

Locate the music in the Finder and drag the song files to the drive. You may also be able to drag them to the drive directly from iTunes.

Format USB Jump Drive as Fat32

I want to format a USB jump drive in Fat32 so that I can use it with a Archos 700 (a video recorder/player)
I used Disk Utility to format the USB Jump Drive as MS-Dos File System but my Archos could not "see" the Jump Drive. I also noticed that the Jump Drive showed up as Fat16 via "get info" on my iMac.
Any suggestions...?

I'm guessing that DiskUtility automatically selects FAT16 or FAT32 depending on the
capacity of the drive. I've formatted large (320GB) HDDs as "MS-DOS File System" --
and they come out FAT32.
The only thing I can suggest is using a Windoze machine -- or BootCamp/VMware.

Encrypting a USB jump drive / Quitting all open applications

Hi,
Two quick questions...
1) I want to password encrypt my USB jump drive so that I am the only one who can get to it's content. I know how to do this using Toast for a cd or dvd. Is it possible?
2) Is there a command to have all open applications quit?
Thanks,
Gary

Get a copy of Truecrypt. It will do what you want, and have the bonus of being compatible with Windows.

Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

Not really.
Technically, with some USB drives (I've had a 50% success rate) you can import photos or videos off the drive - thi those photos or video follow a very strict naming convention.
But you cannot import anything but photos or video and there is zero support to write off the iPad to the flash drive....so while it technically may work, it's so limited to effectively not work.

Can the mac osxlion usb jump drive be used after as a external drive for storing media files

can the mac osxlion usb jump drive be used after as a external drive for storing media files

If you are talking about the Lion install USB thumb drive sold by Apple then no it can't. it has some specail formatting that makes it show up as a DVD drive and is securely locked from any changes.
But I must ask why would you want to. That would destroy that drive and wipe out the Lion installer.
USB thumb drive can be bought for $8.

Skype crashes every time I have my USB jump drive in?

Whenever I have my USB jump drive in my computer, skype continues to crash no matter how many times I start it.
When I take it out, skype works just fine. What is the problem? I never had this happening to me before. (I did clean install of Arch recently after messing up xorg on last one)

USB Jump Drive - filesystem errors?

Running Snow Leopard, I have a 2GB jump drive formatted to FAT16 (so I can use it on PCs as well)
I got the following after doing a quick check from Disk utility:
Verify and Repair volume “JUSTIN_2GB”
** /dev/disk1s1
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories
Invalid long filename entry for /Login Logos
Remove? yes
** Phase 3 - Checking for Orphan Clusters
426 files, 154080 KiB free (4815 clusters)
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
So... Is this a sign of impending doom? It is not one of those fake/counterfit brand name drives off eBay, I bought it from NewEgg.

That is called a kernel panic. I would not plug that jump drive into your Mac anymore. It has bad Ju-Ju!
Most USB pocket drives are formatted for a PC. Obviously there is something about this one that is incompatible with your Mac kit.

Upgraded my PowerBook G4 to Leopard 10.5.8 - USB/Jump drives won't mount

I just upgraded my OS to 10.5.8. Now, when I boot with any attached jump drive it pops up on my desktop for about 10 secs and then gives me a dialog box with a big stop sign w/exclamation point and reads "device removal" - the device you removed was not ejected properly....the 'icon' for the drive disappears and if I try to re-insert it, it doesn't read it. Any ideas why that might be? I have run all the software updates earlier today. What could I be missing?

Thank you so much for the suggestions. You are correct, in 'wiggling' the drive it seems to read and then not read...the jump drive is definitely damaged. I will make attempts to pull files slowly, one at a time. Yes, I wish I had a back up but I don't. I should have burned the files on a CD as a second back up but didn't,my bad. It's okay, I'll have to manage. I'm happy it's not my USB port but a faulty drive. Thank you again for helping me out, greatly appreciate it.

Anyway to connect a USB jump drive to the ipad?

Is there an adapter for the ipad that lets you use a USB device?

While the camera Connector Kit does provide a physical USB port, it is not yet clear the scope of devices that might be accessible to the iPad.
It is clear that there is not general USB support
For example, while the USB Camera Connector will recognize a Compact flash reader when attached to it, when a thumb drive with photos on it is plugged into the iPad it says "The attached USB device is not supported".

Slow data transfer to/from USB Jump Dive

I am experiencing extremely slow transfer speeds using a PNY USB Jump Drive on my 2.4Ghz Intel iMac with 4G RAM running Leopard 10.5.8. Same problem no matter what port is used for the connection. This same Jump Drive is blazing fast on my other G4 Macs running Tiger. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Have you tried reformatting it on the newer iMac? Try using the Erase tab in Disk Utility to erase (reformat) it. See if that makes a difference.
Note: Although it should not affect the access speed, the native +partition map scheme+ for PowerPC Macs is +Apple Partition Map+. For Intel Macs, it is +GUID Partition Table+. If that flash drive is formatted for Windows, it may use +Master Boot Record+ with FAT32 formatting. You can see what it uses currently by looking at the bottom of the Disk Utility window with the flash drive highlighted in the sidebar. Such factors may have an impact on access speeds.
Also, if you have a regular USB external drive and try it on both Macs, do you notice any similar difference in access speeds.

Plug and Play not showing up on desktop - camera, jump drive, etc.

Hi all:
On my Macbook Pro, none of the so-called "plug and play" devices show up on the desktop as they normally would on a Mac computer. I tried my ipod, camera, and usb jump drive. Is there a setting that I could have set on to make it like this??
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go to Finder>Preferences>General, and you will find some boxes to check so that external devices will show up on the desktop. I'm not sure your camera would show up on the desktop--but it will appear in iPhoto if you want to put your pictures in iPhoto. Your iPod and jump drive will show up for sure.
Good luck!

Using Disk Utility to format jump drives to work on a PC?

I have tried several times to format usb jump drives using Disk Utility and then I copy files to it and try to open it on a Windows computer and it prompts me that it needs to be formatted on the Windows computer. How do I format it on a Mac to work on a PC? I have tried this with different usb drives using the MS DOS format option.
Thanks.

Dude,
Of course this isn't a jumpdrive but for externals...
There's a bug in Apple's disk utility software when using USB. I just had this happen to me too. The work around is to use Firewire when formatting. Fortunately, I have a multi port interface so changing to Firewire wasn't an issue.

My daughter created a movie using iMovie, which she has worked on for a month, when trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie...now there is no record of it at all. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

My daughter created a movie using iMovie 11, which she has worked on for a month. When trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie, and while this was running (quoted 13 hours!) she received an error message. Now there is no record of it at all, I have looked in trash etc. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?

The file cannot be reloaded in iMovie using File > Open Recent ??
There is no trace of the file in a Spotlight search?
The project files are not under <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects ??
Finalizing creates small, medium and large version of the finished video. It does take a long time, but it should not destroy your project files.
Oh, and you really MUST have a backup of your files. You can expect to lose files if you have no other copies of them.
