Cruzer Flash Drive(SANDISK)

Have 1 Gig drive and when I insert it into USB port I get the following message,"the disc could not be used because the drive is not supported(error (OX80020025)". However I can open the drive and load images to it. However I cannot open the drive and access the image from any other print services such as Kiosk's etc. I can open and print from my computer but is useless except on another Mac. Any Ideas??

Hi Jack,
I had the same problem, and discovered that it was because Cruzer had formatted the drive for a PC and loaded some crappy backup/security software (called U3) on it. For some reason zeroing the drive did not help as that software kept coming back. The solution was to go to Cruzer's website and download the U3 removal software, remove U3 (I did it on a PC), then zero and reformat the drive on the Mac. Quite a headache but everything worked in the end. There are tons of complaints about that software.
Here is one place where you can find information about removing Cruzer's software. You can search on that site and find the specific model that you have.

  • Problems with Sandisk Cruzer flash drive

    I've never used a flash drive before but I recently bought a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive to use for temporary backups of photo images. When I first inserted it into the USB port of my Mac Mini PPC G4 it wouldn't show up in the finder. I called SanDisk and they told me to reformat the drive using Disk Utility's OS Mac Extended which I did. The drive then worked fine. Recently I dragged all the photos saved on the drive to the trash and attempted to save about a 100 new photos to it and I got an insufficient space error message. As there should have been plenty of room for these photos I was puzzled by this and wound up reformatting the drive again in hopes that it would solve the problem, which it did. Am I doing something wrong here, and if not, any idea what's forcing me to to reformat the drive every time I want to add new files to it?
    Thanks,
    Win

    As simple as it sounds, one has to ask first...
    When you dragged items from the flash drive to the Trash
    or had highlighted them all, and used Move to Trash... Did
    you Empty the Trash - and clear the items from the flash?
    The usual issues are with unmounting the USB flash,
    and when moving a lot of content, the time lag; so a
    few knowns continue to be similar with most users.
    Once in awhile, you may get a defective item, and if that
    happens right away, some retail vendors will exchange
    the one that does not work with another, or credit back
    if bought on a card and you can choose to try elsewhere.
    Reformatting the USB flash drive is often a last resort;
    but that should've fixed the basic problem. If flash acts
    up you can also use Get Info on the item to see if it says
    there is a content being held there after you've thought
    to trash the files associated with its use.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to get i photos to go on usb flash drive sandisk?

    how can I get i photos to go on usb flash drive sandisk?

    Kappy wrote:
    Try selecting them and dragging them to the mounted flash drive. Or select then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Copy from the options list. Open the Finder on the flash drive and press COMMAND-V to paste your selection to the flash drive.
    Note that dragging or pasting does not give you any control over the photo - you get the current preview with no metadata - the export command is a better way since it lets you make  your own choices in what is exported and how much metadata is included

  • Sandisk cruzer flash drive and iphoto

    everytime i insert my sandisk usb flash drive, iphoto launches automatically ready to import photos, even when there's no photos to import. i usually just command-Q to quit iphoto, but it gets annoying to do it everytime, especially when all i want to do is edit my documents saved in my flash drive. is there a way to stop iphoto from starting everytime i insert my flash drive?

    WuFong:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the Image Capture preferences there's a drop down menu titled "When a camera is connected". Select No Application as shown here. that will let you connect the flash drive without iPhoto launching.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Flash drive somehow corrupt.  Finder won't recognize it and Disk Utility won't repair it

    I have a 16 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive.  Somehow, and I haven't figured it out yet, but is got corrupted and Finder won't recognize anymore.  So I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk and it said that it needed to be repaired.  So I tried it and I got the message saying "Disk Erase failed with the error:  File system formatter failed."  And when I try to reformat it, I get the same message.  I've tried it with a PC as well but it doesn't show up and Disk Manager won't reformat it either.  I've given up on recovering the files, but I still would like to recover the drive.  Any solutions would be appreciated. 

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • USB Flash Drive Eject

    Hi,
    I recently bought a USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer Micro) and i've been having some trouble ejecting it. When i plug it in, it works fine and I can drag files to it. I wait until the progress bar is complete (and then usually a few seconds after the progress window closes). The i right click it on the desktop and click "eject." For some reason this freezes up my computer for about 30 seconds which is really annoying, and it seems to happen every time. Is there anything i can do about this? Response is appreciated

    Interesting idea. I tried doing that but all it did was make the Disk disappear from the finder. I did notice that there are some hidden files that are being created (not sure if it's by the PC or the Mac) which include "trash." Not sure if that means anything. other pausible causes: using the keyboard USB port, using PPC Word and Powerpoint (can't wait till they redo those)
    Thanks for the responses btw

  • USB Flash Drive not detected after OS X Mountain Lion installed.

    My MacBook Air 11 inch (Mid 2011) suddenly stopped detecting all my USB flash drives a week after upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    I have a tiny 16GB USB flash drive (Sandisk Cruzer Fit), for daily work, that has never been unplugged from my MBA.
    Everything was fine on Lion, and a week of Mountain Lion, until just when my MBA prompted me that my flash drive "was not ejected properly" after I re-opened the display/lid, or from sleep mode.
    I thought I might have accidentally removed the flash drive unknowingly. So I tried re-plugging the flash drive, closed and re-opened the MBA lid, and the same error message "The disk was not ejected properly" occured. I repeated the steps for a few times (thinking my flash drive might be faulty) and at my last attempt, the flash drive was stopped detected. I tried several USB flash drives and external hard drives (of various brands) to both the USB ports of my MBA, only the external hard drives were detected (on both USB ports) and functioning. None of the flash drives was detected on either USB port.
    The tested flash drives were plugged to another 13" MacBook (Unibody, Late 2008, OS X Lion) and they all worked fine.
    I wonder if anyone faces the same problem, and solution(s) please?
    Additional: OS X Mountain Lion re-installed and same problem occurs / No problem with OS X Lion.

    I had the same issue after installing Mountain Lion from the App store. The issue is you are missing the IOUSBFamily.kext extension amongst others. The solution is to backup your macbook, then perform a clean install of Mountain Lion.
    I had this done at the Apple Store and now everything is restored as well as performance speed being improved.
    Note: When restoring your files (a clean install will delete all your files and applications), use the Migration Assistant.
    I would recommend going to the Apple Store to do this because they can perform the clean install from a USB which is so much faster than the download form the App store.
    Hope this helps.

  • Flash drive creates a burn folder

    Whenever I insert my Sandisk Cruzer flash drive into a USB port my MacBook Pro creates a burn folder the same time it mounts the drive. Why? I have already reformatted the drive but to no avail.

  • Irregular flash drive mounting

    Is there a USB equivalent to "SCSI Mounter" (from way back when) that lets you actively search for USB drives and mount them? I have an Adaptec Duoconnect Firewire+USB2 PCI card. I prefer to use this because of the USB2 capability. On occasion I have problems mounting flash drives with the card. I have two 1 GB flash drives, SanDisk Cruzer, and Imation. I have two cables plugged into two of the card's ports to allow me to plug in the drives from the front of the computer. Today after the computer had been asleep for a few hours I tried plugging in the drives after waking up the computer, and they would not mount (tried repeatedly plugging and unplugging). However, I plugged in one drive in the native USB port on the back of the computer and it did mount. I then tried the same drive in the cable and it still wouldn't mount. I restarted the computer and they both mounted in their cables. Sometimes the Imation drive won't mount in one of the cables but will in the other. After restarting today it would mount in the cable in which it usually won't. At first I wondered if it was a power supply issue, or cable resistance, but I changed nothing other than restarting the computer. As I said, this isn't the first time I have had problems with the Imation drive mounting, but I thought it might just be a problem with that drive on that cable (worn connectors). Now I'm thinking it is more a software issue. I can't say for sure if it's just a post-sleep thing, though I often leave my computer switched on 24/7 so I' usually using it in a post-sleep mode.
    I don't see anything on Adaptec's website about Mac drivers so I don't think I can try that.
    Brian

    Actually, the drives are disconnected from the Mac when it goes to sleep (I already worked out that problem in another post). The real problem I had with leaving the drives plugged in was if I left the Imation drive plugged in and the computer went to sleep the computer would not wake again and I had to hard boot (restart button). I didn't seem to have this problem when I left the SanDisk drive plugged in, though of course the computer would give me a warning about the drive when I woke the computer.
    This seems to be more a matter of maybe the card, or parts of it, not waking from sleep consistently. The card works with all drives in all ports when I first start up or reboot the computer. After it has been to sleep a few times the Imation drive has problems first. Last night was the first time I couldn't get either drive to work with the card until restarting, then both drives were recognized. I just started up my computer now and all drives work in all ports.

  • Flash drive, Error code 0

    Using my iMac, I exported a project from Final Cut Express using QT conversion to my desktop. It's 40:29 and 8.57 GB so I want to get it to my Mac Pro and use Compressor to make the file smaller.
    I just inserted my new 32 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive into my iMac. It was recognized with no problem. But when I drag the QT file to the flash drive I get a window with this message:
    "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured. (Error code 0)" I also get the QT logo with an exclamation point inside a yellow triangle.

    Well, I just found the answer to my question which I will post here so others will not waste their money if you plan to buy a flash drive with the idea of conveniently transferring large files. This is from the SanDisk site:
    Transferring a 4GB or larger file to a USB flash drive
    Why can't I transfer a 4GB or larger file to my USB flash drive?
    This is due to FAT32 limitation. Files larger than 4GB cannot be stored on FAT32 volume. Formatting the flash drive as NTFS will resolve this issue.
    WARNING:
    - Remember to backup your data. Formatting will delete all the data in your device.
    - Formatting the device as NTFS will make it unable to be written to on a MAC computer. Most MAC computers can read NTFS, but not write.
    - NTFS is a journaled filesystem, this creates more read/write activities. Therefore, it will decrease life expectancy of your device.
    - Once the device is formatted as NTFS, you MUST use "Safely Remove Hardware".

    Is it possible to sync my 2GB Sandisk Micro Cruzer Flash Drive using iSync?

  • Unreadable USB flash drive

    I use a 32 GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive for backing up and saving data from my MacBook Pro, and it is now suddenly giving a 'cannot be read on this computer' message on insertion, with the options of initialise, ignore or eject. I do not want to initialise as I will lose my data - is there any way of rescuing / retrieving the data on the flash drive? I would really appreciate some advice and help, as a lot of the saved data is the only copy I have.

    Dear cjvdhx
    I have tried using SanDisk RescuePRO recovery software, but it has not been able to recover my data.
    One of the suggestions i got from SanDisk was to reinstall the USB Mass Storage Driver, which apparently is available at the Apple website, but I cannot find it there.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • My turn to post a question, USB Flash drive hard lock issues

    So not sure if anyone here will be able to help me. Maybe someone from GS has run into this issue, or someone with tech experience can help. The following is from my post on another forum:
    This issue has really been bugging me. For the last year I've been having an issue with every version of Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7). When I insert a flash drive the system will work just fine. When I move a single large file to a flash drive it'll work fine, when I move small files or read small files from a flash drive my entire system hard locks.
    Everything freezes, I hit reset, it asks if I want safe mode, then back to the desktop. There are no errors in the error logs. Reliability monitor doesn't show any related issues.
    Being of a technological nature I booted into Ubuntu. Everything works perfectly. Put the drive on my hackbook, and everything worked perfectly. OS X, worked perfectly. Tried it on my girlfriend's Vista laptop, worked perfectly.
    This issue happens with anything that is detected as a portable storage. It happens with my memory card reader, my flash drives (sandisk, pny, kingston and sony) as well as with my sandisk sansa and iriver mp3 players, but when I set those up as MTP devices they work perfectly.
    I have enabled and disabled legacy USB support, re-installed with slipstreamed SP1, xp sp3, vista ultimate without sp1, and the most recent beta of windows 7. Every time I figured it was related to some other USB device, but it's not. Last night I reloaded Vista (without a service pack) and before I installed anything I put a flash drive in and tried transferring some files to it. Hard lock, no other USB devices plugged in, let alone installed.
    Specs:
    AMD Athlon 6400+
    MSI K9A Platinum
    2GB Corsair XMS2
    9600 GSO 512MB
    This is a major inconvience. Putting files on a flash drive should be the easiest thing in the world, not something that should force me into a different OS. Please help!

    This page shows all of the BIOS updates available for download for the K9A Platinum.  Probably best to go with the latest release.

  • Need help getting playlist into flash drive

    Hi friends ... so sorry to bother ... but I need some help ... my iPod Shuffle isn't compatible with my new cars audio system .... so I just bought my first usb flash drive (sandisk 8gig)  ...I inserted the flash drive and it mounted right away on the desktop ...  I just dragged all of the albums I wanted from my iTunes library to the flash drive icon .... I double clicked the flash icon and all the songs and every artist that I dragged into it showed up .... I inserted the flash into my car's usb port- and it played wonderfullyu... until I clicked on the menu and saw that instead of the 900 or so songs I dragged into the flash drive- only about 18 showed up in the audio systems menu ... only about 5 artists instead of the 30 or 40 that I loaded .... the flash drive is 8gig capacity and my entire library is only about 5 gigs .... I emptied all of the mpg's from my flash drive- threw out the trash ... and re-loaded everything again .... once again, when the transfer was finished , everything I dragged into the flash icon was there- every tune played as it shoud when clicked within the desk-mounted flash drive .... but when I inserted again into my cars usb port- once again only a fraction of what was on the flash drive showed up on my screen ...
    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong ...The flash drive never appeared in my iTunes window anywhere and under "devices" there was no option highlighted- maybe this is a clue to what I haven't done right?  this was the first time I ever used a usb flash drive..I didn't format or anything else -when the flash icon showed up on my desktop - I just intuitively dragged my playlist into the icon - everything appeared to be in there ... but didn't end up in my car's audio system .... please advise .... please advise as simply as possible .... much thanks in advance ....
    David

    David,
    Ther flash drive will not be a recognized Device to iTunes.  It will simply be another drive.  You can add files to it by drag-n-drop, as you correctly did.
    Most likely, you have many files in AAC audio format, and your car player is one of the many that can play MP3, but not AAC.
    If you need to convert any formats, consult this document:

  • My iPhoto photo library disappeared after I used a SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB Flash Drive

    Hi! Not sure if these 2 things are connected, but I bought a SanDisk Cruzer 32GB USB Flash Drive. I dragged my documents over and copied them on to the flash drive. I didn't have iPhoto open. I didn't drag any applications, photo library folders, or anything else over to the flash drive. I just dragged over 3 file folders of work and personal documents (MSWord, Excel, etc.) over to the flash drive. It took some time to copy all my documents over, so I left it overnight.
    The next day, I decided it might be a good idea to also back up my photos from iPhoto. Interestingly enough, nearly all my photos had been deleted--save for photos from the last 3 - 4 weeks or so. That's right, a decade worth of photos were gone. I went online, Googled the problem, looked through this community and verified that I did not accidentally import one library into another or move (or delete) the backup iPhoto Library folder or anything. I even checked the flash drive. Nothing. Just the 3 folders worth of documents that I'd copied over.
    Has anyone heard of a flash drive somehow corrupting or deleting photos from an iPhoto library?
    I'm stumped. I have dug through other regular folders where I'd stashed some .jpgs so I could burn a CD for family, so I have put back about 338 photos from a library of thousands of images (some which are, of course, irreplaceable). The irony is that this last year, I'd been scanning in photos from actual physical photo albums to digitize them and have them handy on iPhoto... not knowing that they would disappear. And, of course, the double-irony is that I was using a thumb drive to back up my photos when they disappeared. If I wasn't so bummed, I'd be laughing right now.

    Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
    One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
    When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
    When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...
