Can't read files from Sandisk USB

Hi,
My MacBook Pro recognizes my USB drive, but none of the files show when I open up the USB. It says 17.47 GB available out of 32 GB, but 0 files.
My sister recently borrowed the flash drive to transfer files from her PC lap top, did she format the USB so that none of the files I had are available any longer? If so, I would think that it would show the USB with full capacity available.
I ran disk utility and tried to repair the drive. It shows that there are 3,549 files on the USB, but I don't see any of them.
Thanks,
Gordon

Hello,
I take it you have the Sandisk Cruzer 32GB right ?
I have had the same issue, there is possiblely two reasons why this is happening, the second reason is what happened to me : ( .
1. You sister may have partitioned part of the drive while on the windows machine to NAS format not readable on the mac side of things.
2. Its seems to be a common issue with Sandisk Cruzer 32GB Devices, they suddenly become unreadable by the Mac after connecting them to a windows computer,
The drive is initially designed for use with windows machines and comes preloaded with U3 backup software ( which is the cause of all the problems )
you cannot uninstall the U3 software from a mac even by reformatting the device via disk utility
it can only be uninstalled via a Windows PC, which is a pain !!!!
if the second issue sounds like you trouble let me know and i'll explain how to get it working
thanks
Yaddle

  • Cameraw raw says it can't read files from T2i from 6.1 but ...

    I had installed CS5 as trial and installed Camera Raw 6.1 - everything worked fine.
    Then I bought and registered CS5, uninstalled CS4 and suddenly LR 2.7 didn't find CS5 as an external editor - even after a reboot and there was no apparent way to make it do that.
    So, I uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled and it showed up in LR 2.7.
    Now, however, CS5 does not recognize my Canon T2i files as it says the Camera Raw version does not support the file format. It did before i bought and registered in the extended version but when i put the new serial number in and it went from extended the regular version, it stopped being able to read the files.
    My version in about and plugins is 6.0.0.205 in CS5 now
    I have downloaded and attempted to install the camera raw 6.1 updater several times - it says some updates failed to install- update is not applicable.
    Tech support says that is the newest version.
    In my trial version, the updater installed, i could read T2i files but now it won't install and i can't read my T2i files.
    I can go through Lightroom which seems to read them OK - I even resinstalled LR 2.7
    What can I do? I want to be able to read some files directly in PS CS5 from the T2i files.
    Thanks

    You should ask in the  Camera Raw forum.

    I can't read Chinese mails from my pals in China.
    They show like this:
    I tried to change the encoding, but nothing changed.
    What's wrong with it? how can i read this mail?
    For one of these messages, go to View > Message > Long Headers and tell us what the Content-Type header says. That is the encoding you need to choose in Message > Text Encoding.
    Everytime I write in Chinese and
    Japanese, I have to change to the encoding of the
    right language manually, otherwise my friends won't
    be able to read them. How can Mail recognize what
    language I am writing in and change to the right
    encoding automatically?
    The encodings being used by Mail are already "right" by international standards, but the software being used by your friends apparently requires something else. You can fix it for one of the languages with the info in this note, but the other you would still have to do manually:

  • Can not read file from URL

    I have this code for loadbitmap() function:
    String s = getCodeBase()+sdir+sfile;
    System.out.println("codeBase is=" + s);
    URL url = new URL(s);
    InputStream fs = url.openStream();
    BufferedInputStream bs = new BufferedInputStream(fs);
    And the file is a .bmp file, so I go on decoding this etc. It works fine within VisualCafe.
    When I created a virtual directory in IIS and run this applet from
    http://localhost/ImageApplet/ImageApplet.html address:
    I get in 1.3.1 Plug-in this error:
    codeBase is=http://localhost/ImageApplet/duke/some1.BMP
    Caught exception in loadbitmap!java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://localhost/ImageApplet/duke/some1.BMP
    If a type this as address in browser, it shows the image.
    Could any one tell me what I am doing wrong here?

    You can try this, even though it is not supposed to be different from your original code:
    URL url = new URL(getCodeBase(), sdir+sfile);
    System.out.println("getting image from " + url);
    InputStream fs = url.openStream();
    BufferedInputStream bs = new BufferedInputStream(fs);
    I could understand a SecurityException but a FileNotFoundException... A FileNotFoundException... You are reading from a stream originating from a URL, not a file!!!
    Which line causes the exception?

  • I have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk?

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

  • Can't open office files from my usb drive

    Dear forum
    Sins a few weeks ago i am not able to open office file from my USB-drive.
    However i can copy the file to the desktop and than i can open them.
    I have this problme only (for as far i know) with office files.
    greetings Ypkoba

    If the drive is NTFS format, the Mac can read, but not write thiose drives natively.
    So the issue may be that the temp file and the output file cannot be created on the same drive.

  • Can the aTV read files from an iTunes library on my nas drive without my computer being on

    I have my itunes library on a My Book Live nas drive that contains all of my digital movies and TV shows. I want to be able to watch my movies from the library without a computer running. I understand that Apple has chosen to chain you to the computer and your itunes account through Home Sharing but I can not see why they couldn't allow you to access a nas drive without a computer running because your aTV is tied to your itunes account also so why do they force you to run a computer 24/7 365 in order to access the files you have bought and paid for.
    I have a love/hate for Apple because I love the quality of the products they make but I hate how they make all of the digital files you purchase only accessible through a computer running Home Sharing even though the files are not stored on the computer.
    I have tried several things to get this to work without a computer but no luck. The only way I have found to be able to do this is to Jailbreak your aTV and install 3rd party software (which I don't want to do) that will allow you to by pass the computer and Home Sharing (which is dumber than ****) because that is all I want to do is eliminate the need of a computer running wasting electricity (I thought Apple was supposed to be an enviro friendly company, guess not). I am not trying to steal or give someone else my purchased movies and using the aTV and an internet connection they could still be able to tie your media to your itunes account so I just don't get there thinking, or lack of thinking I should say.
    Is their a way to do this without Jailbreaking or modifying your aTV?
    If not is Apple ever going to wake up and allow there customers to actually USE the media they purchase from them without Home Sharing and a computer running?
