ATP Photo Finder GPS not recognized on Mac as USB flash drive

Much like the problem with the Sony GPS-CS1, it appears the ATP Photo Finder device also will not be recognized as a flash drive on a Mac. Tiger worked with the Sony for awhile, but recent updates (as well as Leopard 10.5.x) have made it no longer work. There are other topics on the GPS-CS1 in these forums detailing those problems.
I picked up an ATP Photo Finder from My Discount Digital to try it out. It logs data, then you insert the memory card in to the device and it will GPS stamp the JPGs. It sounds like a great idea, but when it didn't work I was going to have to plug it up to my Mac and use PC software via Parallels to reprocess the images.
It is not recognized -- and under Parallels, a new USB device shows up simply listed as "U" under the pull-down menu. When I try to select it, it claims it is already in use. Methinks Apple Mac OS X is semi-grabbing the device but not being able to use it.
Odd.
So I post this in case others have the ATP Photo Finder and have problems... Maybe we can figure something out.

Well, here's an odd (and quick) self follow-up... I was reading an Apple Help file and it suggested looking at the System Profiler to see if the device is being recognized. Indeed, it showed the "U" and some garbled characters (so something is not quite right). It also showed it was plugged in through my powered USB hub. I bought this hub after running in to issues with devices that would not work plugged in to the iMac keyboard... On a whim, I plugged the ATP Photo Finder in to the non-powered USB port on the keyboard and ... it worked. It still shows up as U(garbled) but I was able to access it from the Mac Finder.
Interesting.

    I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
    Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

  • Finder stall after wake from sleep w/USB flash drive mounted

    Has anyone else experienced this? iMac works flawlessly while USB flash drive is mounted UNTIL iMac sleeps. Then as soon as the iMac wakes from sleep the finder is non-responsive (perpetually spinning beach ball) and other apps slow to a crawl and become non-responsive as well if they need the finder (i.e. to save, etc.). This only happens when the USB flash drive is mounted.
    Trying to force quit (relaunch) the Finder does not work, I always have to perform a hard restart.
    I have an external FireWire hard drive that works beautifully and does not cause these same symptoms.
    Any ideas?

    umm.. don't let the computer go to sleep with your jump drive connected? The mac will usually take a few seconds to get his gear together after waking up from a sleep sounds like he is having to gather additional things since the jump drive is in there. I don't have a REAL solution except don't let Mr. Mac sleep with the jump inserted....

  • How do I copy some photos from iPhoto on my Macbook to a usb flash drive?

    Hi - I want to copy some photo's in iPhoto onto a usb flash drive.  How do I do this?
    Thank you

    Insert your usb flash drive.
    In iPhoto select the photos you want to write to the flash drive and use the command "File > Export".
    In the "Export" panel set the quality and size you want for the exported images. Then click the "Export" button and in the File Chooser dialouge select your flash drive as the destination.

  • Toshiba 1TB External Hardrive not recognized after using a USB 8GB Drive

    Hello.
    Windows 7 Ultimate, HP G671 Notebook, X86 based PC, Bios HP F, 20 10/13/2009, Intel Core 2Duo CPU [email protected] GHz, SMbios Version 2.4.
    The Toshiba ext. HD was recognized initially but after the second time I needed to plug it back in there was no recognition in the drives list, under removable storage.  I find it listed in the devices where it states that it is enabled and working OK. Also I see it in the computer management/disk management area as healthy.  However, I obviouly cannot change files. I just noticed that there is no storage amount listed with the C:: Native Drive, nor in the D: disk drive when I have a DVD in it.  I've reassigned letters to the external drives and done the powereing on/off rebooting suggestions without resolution.  Any advice?

    Nobody?

  • Help needed to see photos on my USB Flash Drive

    How do I view the contents of my USB Flash Drive, on my MacBook Pro, please? Also, can I add more photos to the ones already there?

    Your USB Flash Drive should function like any other volume once it's connected to your computer and mounted by the file system. Just drag whatever picture you want to see on top of whatever application you want to use to view it (Preview works well for this). If you want to copy a photo from your Mac, just drag it from its current location in the Finder right on top of the USB Flash Drive's icon on your Desktop.

    Thanks for the information and your help. I have never bothered before changing the format. Next time I will.
    I copied the library to the external drive and then it went and said they were referenced files but I was okay about that. Now it cannot see them and will not do anything with them. I think I will buy another external drive and start again by importing all of my files again. I guess 55K will keep the mac busy this week.

  • USB Flash Drive is seen by Mac but will not mount

    I use an HP 32GB flash drive, formatted exFAT, to transfer files. My Windows PC and other MacBooks in my house running older Mac OS X versions read this flash drive just fine. This flash drive used to show up on the desktop of my newest MacBook Pro 15 (late 2011) too.
    However, after upgrading to 10.7.5 I experienced numerous problems (Time Machine, etc.) and the USB Drive fails to mount onto the desktop or be recognized by any application. I cannot get Apple's Disk Utility to recognize the flash drive either.
    Interestingly enough
    1. The System Information window of my MacBook Pro shows the USB drive when it is attached. The Mac even knows it is an HP 32GB drive. But Disk Tools does not see it, I cannot format or read it in any other way on this Mac.
    2. when I launch Windows 7 OS through Parallels, then install the USB drive, these applications too fail to recognize the flash drive. But if I pull out the USB flash drive then a screen appears for a split-second, as though somehow the MacBook Pro knew the drive had been pulled.
    Moments ago I downloaded the OS X 10.7.5 supplment "Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)", but while that may have fixed Time Machine, I see no changes to the USB drive recognition.
    Any ideas?

    iDVD '11 works on Mountain Lion.  You just need to get an old iLife '11 DVD.

  • USB flash drive not recognized by Macbook Leopard 15.1

    Hi
    Until last week my macbook was able to recognize my USB flash drives and my IPOD in Itunes and also as an independant drive.
    Last week it started to give trouble. It simply does not recognizes any USB flash drives I plug in as well as my IPOD music into Itunes.
    This is very strange since it is recognizing the HP all in one. It scans and prints. I purchased this HP all in one last week and installed the software for it. I am not sure how this could have affected that I cannot mount any USB drives.
    Can you please help? Anyone?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple discussions
    Can you see the devices if you use Utilities/Disk Utility? Maybe you need to reformat them. Take care, reformatting will lose the data on the device.

  • USB FLASH DRIVE WORKS ON MAC BUT NOT ON WINDOWS... CAUSE I ERASED IT IN MAC

    I decided to take my work flash drive home to work on a file. At home I saw that some weird files were on the flash drive and wouldn't delete, so I decided to save my files on my Mac and erase the USB flash drive. I selected the flash drive (by the way it's a 2 GB flashdrive) and I used the SECURITY OPTION 35 PASS ERRASE. Format: MS-DOS (FAT).
    Everything was fine until I took my flash drive to work and plugged it on a Windows XP Computer and it appeared as Drive E I think and when I tried to open it it asked me to format it. I risked it and clicked OK and it said that I didn't have sufficient rights or something.
    SUMMERY:
    2 GB USB ERASED USING MAC DISSK UTILITY
    EVERYTHING FINE UNTIL I PLUG IN THE FLASH DRIVE IN A WINDOWS
    WINDOWS ASKS ME TO REFORMAT FILE
    I PLUG IT INTO A MAC COMPUTER AT WORK AND IT DOES WORK
    IF ANYBODY KNOWS HOW DO I FIX THIS THANKS?

    The drive is probably now formatted for a Mac only file system. To format for a PC:
    Insert the drive in the Mac and start Disk Utility (Utilities folder).
    Select the drive in the left column. Be sure to select the drive (all the way to the left) not a volume (indented below the drive name).
    Select the "Partition" tab.
    Set "Volume Scheme" to "1 Partition" (not "Current" even if it's already one partition).
    Click the "Options" button".
    Select "Master Boot Record".
    Click the "OK" button.
    Enter a volume name (all uppercase).
    Set "Format" to "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    Click the "Apply" button.
