Crucial Gizmo flash drive not recognized in osx, works in xp

Hi,
I have brand new Crucial Gizmo 2GB flash drive that has worked with multiple windows computers, but does not show on my OSX desktop or near the harddrives in finder. It does show in the System Profiler under USB.
I am using a brand new unibody macbook.
any suggestions?

maybe power restrictions. Try a powered USB hub and connect that Crucial to it.

USB flash drive not recognized on desktop or disk utility

I see a number of similar threads to this but nothing solves this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am about to go crazy!
I have 3 USB thumb drives that all worked 2 days ago - now only one does. I have tried all drives in multiple ports and the same result. I have restarted the iMac (2009 Yosemite) a number of times and the same result.
This came about attempting to create bootable USBs with each of these. I was struggling with the process on my mac so took 2 (brand new 16GB PNYs) to a PC created the live boot USBs and they booted fine on the PC (knowing this wouldn't boot my mac). I did however plug them into my mac and they were recognized. I finally found success creating a Ubuntu live boot with my old USB. With that success I wanted to try with one of the new USBs on the mac.
Here is what I did:
1. Using Disk Utility - Reformatted the drive 1 partition MS Dos FAT 32
2. In Terminal unmounted the drive and ran a dd command to copy the linux .img file successfully
3. Box came up saying drive not recognized and selected to ignore (this happened on my old one that still works also)
4. Ejected drive from terminal
5 Restarted mac and attempted to boot from USB without success.
After this the 2 new USBs were no longer recognized in any usb port while the other still is. They do not show on the desktop nor in Disk Utility. I checked them on the PC and they are still both recognized and showing the FAT 32 format.
Help please!

Thank you for the reply. I found some time to go through this process a number of times without success
Any other suggestions?

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.

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.

External Hard Drives (and some flash drives) Not Recognized by Server2003

I recently purchased a new computer (Dell T100 server) and old Server2003 disk (OEM disk on eBay). Installed Server2003 and added File Server role only. My data is located on a Western Digital Passport that is recognized no problem on any other computer in the office (all XP). When I connect it to the server (front or rear, same result), it does not give it a drive letter, and says there are 0 bytes used 0 bytes free. Under Computer Management->Storage->Disk Management it shows: Volume: blank, Layout: Partition, Type: Basic, File System: blank, Status: Healthy. It's as if it does not know how to read the file system.
What do I need to do to Server2003 to get this drive with my data on it to be read by my new server?

Hi,
Following is the System Requirements from Western digital’s website.

Yes, generally speaking, if an external drive or flash drive can be recognized by Windows XP, it should work in Windows Server 2003. However, there is no guarantee.
If possible, I recommend that you plug the “unrecognized” drive to some other Windows Server 2003 computers to test whether it works. If the issue continues, I suggest that you contact the vendor or the drive for more details.
By the way, what’s the version of Windows Server 2003 you used? Please update it to the latest service pack to check whether they works.

USB flash drive not recognized by computer. Have tried all options of which I can think.

Okay. I have a Patriot S-Mini 32GB flash drive that my Windows 8.1 HP Slimline 400-434 is not recognizing. I believe it recognized it once, and has refused to do so since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes it just fine.
All other USB devices function perfectly on this computer. USB mouse/keyboard/USB Hub/Apple iPhone cable.
1. I have tried unplugging all other USB devices before trying this one. FAIL
2. I have gone to Device Management and the USB drive does not appear in the list. FAIL
3. I have uninstalled the USB Root Hubs and restarted the computer. FAIL
4. I have tried plugging the USB drive into the rear ports that plug directly into the motherboard. FAIL
5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a BIOS update as the link on the HP website downloads and says that it is incompatible for my computer. FAIL
...so what the bloody gorram heck do I do now?
This question was solved.

Okay, and in the most ridiculous way I have ever solved a technical problem...
The USB flash cannot be inserted ALL the way into the port. It has to be inserted slowly, so that the contacts line up.
I figured this out by trying to connect it into my USB hub and noticing that the red indicator light was going on and off as I inserted the USB drive, flickering on as I inserted it and then off once it was all the way in.
Weird. But hey. It works now.

Flash Drive Not Recognized

I have an 8GB flash drive that worked until last night. I was uploading a 3.6 GB file and it crashed. I tried using Disk Utility to reformat the drive, but then that crashed too, along with Finder. I had to hold the power button to shut down my computer.
Now my flash drive isn't recognized by my Mac and does not come up with Disk Utility. I tried using it on a PC and the PC realized it was inserted but it was not recognized.
HELP!

It's not the power in the ports because other USB devices still work without a problem.
Missed the part where you told us that. 8^)
Then format it on the PC and bring it back to the Mac.

Usb flash drive not recognized

LaCie flash drive not recognized as a drive, but shows up in system profiler. Please help!!

I recently got a LaCie RuggedKey 16 gb flash drive. The problem is that recently I plugged in the drive and I can't access the files, however, it shows up in system profiler. There are still files on the drive, and I really need them. Can you please help me recover them?

If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed.

External hard drive not recognized after OSX Mavericks

My Toshiba external hard drive worked flawlessly before I upgraded to Mavericks, but now I cant access the disk. It doesnt show up on the desktop but it does show in disk utility. What do I do?!

This isn't my question, but I'm having the same problem (with a Western Digital) and thought I'd share a screenshot of disk utility for comparative purposes.
Also, Mavericks isn't allowing me to access Bootcamp

Flash 8 not recognizing fonts

I'm experiencing difficulties with Flash 8 not recognizing
the majority of a font family.
Its strange because Photoshop & Illustrator recognize
them & display them just fine.
The fonts involved my project include:
Helvetica
Helvetica Compressed
Helvetica Condensed
Helvetica Black
Helvetica Light
Helvetica Extra Compressed
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
Helvetica Ultra Compressed
Of this list, Flash 8 is only recognizing:
Helvetica
Helvetica LT Std
Helvetica Neue
So at this point I'm having to literally type EVERYTHING out
in Illustrator, export swfs, and import them into Flash.
This is obviously time consuming and makes simple text
changes a pain.
I'm leaning towards the fact that this is a corrupt font
issue, yet these fonts are available in every other software I've
tried them in.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Any thoughts??
Thank you!!!
-eric

I was having the same problem, with other fonts. I tried what brianimator suggested and it made it worse. Half of my fonts are now again gone. I can't take this anymore... worse of all, verdana is still MIA.
Those fonts are all in system/library/fonts, they just don't work with Flash and only Flash. I'm ready to shoot myself soon. I don't know what else to try. Any ideas, anyone?
PS: I have an iMAC OSX 10.5.7 and I run Adobe CS4 (fonts are recognized in all other applications)

Hard drive not recognized during windows server 2008 setup

hard drive not recognized during windows server 2008 setup

Hi,
Whether the hard disk is recognized in BIOS?
Connect it to another computer to see if it could be recognzied incase the cause is the disk itself. Also please check if it is really a RAID instead of a single hard disk - a single disk should be recognized directly while RAID cannot be recognized until
a suitable driver is installed.

Apple has release a new version of iTunes 8, in responce the issues with Vista.
1.Unistall iTunes via StartMenu\Control Panel\Programs and Features
2.Delete all previous iTunes installers.
3.Download iTunes 8 from the Apple website.
4.Makes sure you close Outlook and Explorer and all non-essential programs, as it seems to prevent the install at certain points.
5.Install iTunes 8.
6.After the Install is complete, Open iTunes 8 before attaching your iPhone.
7.Unlock your iPhone if it is lock with a pass code.
8.Attach your iPhone, after a few seconds you should see that it has installed a driver for your iphone, then the iPhone will appear in iTunes.
I hope this helps, as I did spend some time with this issue myself.

My dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark.

my dvd drive not recognized in device manager,getting the yellow explanation mark. Tried uninstallingdevice drive and scanning for new hardware. scanned for updates, etc. I getting no results. The laptop is a Pavilion DV5. Thanks

Hi,
It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, open Device Manager, right click the DVD drive and select Uninstall. When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows rediscover the device and check.
Regards,
