  • USB Flash Drive Issue On iMac - 1.1 on iMac, 2.0 on any other Mac

    I have a Core i7 27" Late 2009 iMac.
    I just noticed this issue today.
    I have a couple of Patriot XPorter XT USB Flash drives that I use among my Macs to transfer big files around.
    Hooking one of the 8GB flash drives to my iMac, the one listed above, it shows the device operating at USB 1.1 speeds, whether it's in a powered hub, or one of the 4 USB ports in the back of the machine. This was odd, because this was the first time it had ever done this. I only noticed this due to the painfully slow transfer rate the Finder was reporting to me. Restarting the iMac, cold starting the iMac, resetting permissions, PRAM and SMC did nothing. I thought it was a bum drive.
    So I grabbed a 16GB flash drive (same brand and model family, different capacity) and it works perfectly fine on the iMac at USB 2.0 speeds. Hmm...
    So I boot the iMac into Win 7 Ultimate x64. Both drives are listed at USB 2.0 speeds. Something is definitely afoot here.
    To make sure I'm not losing my sanity, I grab my MacBook Pro and test the drives in there. Both drives are listed at USB 2.0 speeds.
    I then run to my Mac Pro. Both drives are listed at USB 2.0 speeds.
    Did something go wonky on my iMac?
    Machine specs (for comparison above)
    iMac 27" i7 2.8GHz - 16GB RAM
    MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz - 4GB RAM
    Mac Pro Xeon 2.66GHz - 12GB RAM

    I think that you are just running into a communication blip between the thumb drive and the controller for the USB ports on your iMac. It is obviously reading the 8 GB drive as older and slower and is assigning that lessor priority to the bus serving the drive.
    Have you tried attaching the drive directly to the iMac with no other device connected to a USB port? If it is the same, then I doubt there is anything that you can do, that is going to be the way the USB controller reads this thumb drive.

  • USB Flash Drive issues, FAT and Windows, Help!

    Here's the deal:
    I have a flash drive, I formatted it in FAT because it needs to be used on my Mac (Snow Leopard) and Windows. When I format it, it adds 2 or 3 other partitions like 200MB. BUT does not show it in Disk Manager or in Finder. I can read and write to the drive on my Mac, and it works (Mac thinks it's FAT). When I go to Windows it says it needs to be formatted. So after a leg-breaking experience in XP to reformat it as FAT, I can't just drag and drop folders into it. If I drag a folder to it it gives me an error code -36. HOWEVER, I can make a new folder on the drive (CommandShiftN) and drag files into the new folder. What the heck? Never had these issues in Leopard. What is the issue? Is this just Snow Leopard or is something screwed and I need to reinstall? Help. Thanks in advance.

    1) Open Disk Utility.
    2) Click your flash drive.
    3) Click "Partition" tab.
    4) Change "Volume Scheme" drop down box to 1 partition.
    5) Change format to FAT.
    6) Click "Options" button.
    7) Change partition table from GUID to Master Boot Record.
    8) Click Apply.
    All done.

  • 6910P bios recover usb flash drive issue

    hello I have a 6910P, that got messed up when I upgraded the memory to 4gb,  its was running fine, then I plugged my wall charger in, and it stated your charger is not the right power
    or something to that effect, then it shut down.
    I have read a few threads, that stated it was a bios issue,
    but the issue is that I cant get into the bios to upgrade it, and or reset the settings
    i have removed the cmos battery
    I have also tried this
    Just so nobody else has to go through this hell I finally got it working fo me on my HP G60-235DX.
    I downloaded the latest Bios (360BF65.FD)
    Made two copies and renamed them to 3612.FD and 3612.BIN (Not sure which is exactly right)
    Copied that to a small (256MB) SD Card (Any 2Gig and below would probably work)
    Placed the SD in the laptop
    Removed Battery and AC from the laptop
    Pressed and held both WIN and B Key
    Inserted AC, waited 4 seconds and pressed power, released WIN+B right after pressing power.
    Give it a minute and it will start to beep very annoyingly, nothing will be on screen.
    It powers down when its done and that's it.
    my machine refuses to boot to the bios, I only have a 4Gb usb drive formatted to FAT,  is this drive just too large or something?
    also I know the unit still works as the cpu fans turns on as soon as I insert the battery, and the hd light on the front is also on.  the cpu fan just stays, and then turns off... over and over again.
    I also bought a brand new oem hp charger, and also put back the original 1GB ram stick
    is my motherboard toast, or do I need to find a super small flash drive, or buy the darn usb floppy drive
    thanks for any help

    Looks like some high quality brand
    google link
    edit: bullshit, this seems to have nothing to do with the brand I guess...

  • USB flash drive issue with photoshop.

    For some reason when i try to save .psd files from photoshop CS3 to my usb flash drive I always get The disk is full error, even when the disk is empty. I try to save to the disk, and I can save to the desktop but cannot drag and drop it in. It's a 1 gig flash drive.

    Hi Skwertz: Have you tried plugging in the USB Flash drive and emptying the trash? Just be sure that the items in the trash are really meant to be thrown out.
    Good Luck

  • USB Flash Drive Issues

    I just bought a USB Flash Drive(1GB)to back up my purchased music from my iTunes music library and I have no idea how to do it...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Take a seat this could be a while. First right click on the start menu. click on explore. Navigate to My Documents>My Music There should be a folder called iTunes. Then inside of iTunes there should be a folder called iTunes Music. Iside are all of the different music folders arranged by artist. There is all your iTunes music. Select all the music that you want to back up. To select multiple songs, use the Ctrl of Shift keys. Once you have selected all the music you wish to copy. on you keyboard press and hold [Crtl]+C, this copies all the music. Now navigate to your flash drive. It should be in the E or F drives. Double click on it. Now on your keyboard press and hold [Ctrl]+V. This should put all of the music you previously copied into the flash drive. This should work. If you have any problems reply to this post. hope this helps.
    btw welcome to the forums

  • USB Flash Drive Issue

    I hope this is the right section to post in, if not can the moderator please move it accordingly.
    I have a USB hard drive which I use for Time Machine without a problem, but I also have a USB flash drive. Since I have used it with my Mac I have not been able to recognize it on PC's. Not that I want to use any PC's, but at school I need them for printing.
    Is there any settings I need to change or programs I need to download to make sure my USB drive will be Mac & PC compatible? Do I need to do a format or something?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    or you format your Harddrive (USB / HDD) in Windows with the NTFS-Format (it is for bigger files) an install on Mac the programm "MacFuse". With this tool your Mac read the NTFS-Format. Also no problems with your PC and Mac.
    But i dont know a answer for the rights bug.
    Nice greets

  • USB flash drive not being recognized as a startup disk?

    Hi everyone, I've been searching for similar questions but haven't found one that exactly matches my experience.  So, I'm going to try and explain my issue in hopes that others may be able to help.
    I'm trying to create a bootable flash drive from which I can install lion, and eventually Mountain Lion when it is released onto my main hard drive.  My main reason for doing this is  to have a way that I can perform a clean install of the operating system.  Yes, I know I am old fashioned, but sometimes I prefer clean operating system installs rather than upgrading.  In any case, I have downloaded the lion setup file from the Mac app store (Install Mac OS X Lion.app) and am following the directions given on this page to do this procedure.  These directions are consistent with directions found on various other sources online.  Having this file saved to my hard drive, I was able to find and extract the disk image file from the package InstallESD.dmg to another folder.  Once extracted, I plugged in my flash drive and attempted to use disk utility to restore the disk image to my flash drive.  I selected the dmg file as my source and the flash drive as the destination.  I then clicked restore and was warned that all data on the flash drive would be erased while the disk image was restored to my flash drive.  I was prepared for this, so I allowed the process to continue, and it appeared to proceed with no problem.  When disk utility was finished, I did a quick look at my flash drive using finder and confirmed that it did in fact appear to contain a disk image of the .dmg file.  Here's where things get interesting however.
    When I go to system preferences and choose startup disk, my flash drive is not listed as an optional disk from which to boot, only my hard drive ("macintosh HD").  When I restart and hold down the option key, my flash drive is not listed as a startup disk either.  I know that the non-intel based macs are not capable of booting from USB, but this is certainly not my issue as I have an intel macbook pro, mid 2009 model.  My flash drive is about 4 or 5 years old; it is a PNY Technologies Attaché 16 gb flash drive.  I have no trouble viewing and transferring files to and from the flash drive, the only issue is that my computer seems to refuse to recognize it as a startup disk.  Are there certain flash drives which do not support booting?  This would normally seem more like a computer issue rather than a flash drive issue, but most people seem to have no problem doing what I'm trying to do.  Unfortunately I do not have another flash drive with which to test this, and I didn't really feel like buying another flash drive just to test this out if in fact this is not a flash drive issue.  I am planning to upgrade to the macbook pro retina soon which of course does not have an optical drive, which is one of the reasons I would like to get this working.  Can anyone think of something else I can try?  Is it more likely an issue with the macbook pro or the flash drive?
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    The format says Mac OS Extended.  All of the settings were set during the disk image restore process.  Even if I format the flash drive as extended journaled or some other format, all of these settings are reverted when I do the restore from the disk image.  I will just copy all of the information that disk utility has so that you can see it.
    Mount Point :     /Volumes/Mac OS X Install ESD     Capacity :     16.11 GB (16,106,110,976 Bytes)       Format :     Mac OS Extended     Available :     12.3 GB (12,303,499,264 Bytes)       Owners Enabled :     Yes     Used :     3.8 GB (3,802,611,712 Bytes)       Number of Folders :     128     Number of Files :     876

  • IMac goes to sleep unexpectedly, Finder issues with flash drives - related?

    My iMac falls asleep for no known reason, often in the middle of active use. (Similar problem recently described in thread with messageID=11829917.)
    Sleep onset is frequent but seems to vary based on both currently-running software and attached devices (particularly USB flash drives). It will almost always wake up when I hit the space bar afterward, but might sleep again within a minute or two, then not for an hour or more. The sleep occurs with little notice (brief stall of display, sometimes enough time to click on another app window and bring that forward before the screen goes dark), and 95% of the time the computer wakes up after hitting the spacebar. The other 5 % of the time the display reappears but the entire OS is frozen and usually requires unplugging the power cable. There are other symptoms in the Finder - more below. Once in a while the fan revs up like a WWII fighter plane taking off from a carrier, but this is unusual and all the really irritating stuff also happens without this symptom, which usually stops on its own. Immediately after reawakening error messages are displayed to report that flash drives were improperly disconnected (Tell me about it! This has been the case for several months whether the computer goes to sleep by itself or if I put it there manually.)
    The computer seems to go into sleep mode most frequently when not-particularly-demanding graphics (Photoshop Elements and Adobe Reader) and video (QuickTime Pro 7.6.4) apps are running. Turning these off makes nod-offs less frequent but doesn't stop it entirely. When video thumbnails are displayed in Finder windows a lot of time may be required to load the data and this often paralyzes everything else AND this also seems to be a trigger for a nod-off (i.e. QuickTime not necessary to make the computer choke). This is highly variable and some video clips load quickly (< 20 sec), while others take several minutes, and this doesn't necessarily correlate with file size.
    Another factor is whether flash drives are connected - these seem to make the nod-offs more frequent AND Finder regularly loses communication to these both while just sitting there and also in the middle of file transfers. A very early 250 MB drive (Lexar - vintage 2004) will always communicate, but different USB2-capable drives all are either unreliable (Lexar 8 GB and KData 4 GB both < 1 yr old) or apparently dead (Lexar 2 GB ~ 2 yr old). The failures may be damaging the drives - they are inconsistent-to-bad at communicating with my MacBook Pro. I know this sounds like the drives are at fault, but there are things which make me suspect the OS (both computers use the same version): 1) different flash drives display the same on-again-off-again behavior AND the 2) the 2 GB drive that hasn't communicated with my Macs in over a month has no trouble talking with my wife's WinXP computer. When communication isn't working with these drives, they do not show up in either Finder or Disk Utility. When the Mac-dead 2 GB Lexar is plugged into either computer and I launch Disk Utility, the initial scan for drives never finishes so I have to force quit. (When they are working, on the iMac the large drives only appear in Finder if I go to User and press Command-uparrow (to go up a directory layer) - in columns display mode nothing appears in the left-hand column.
    (The following describes a set of problems I've had a little longer and which may or may not be related):
    At times the Finder loses some but not all functions:
    1) Sometimes files in the Trash can't be ejected* even when all apps are turned off
    2) usually when problem 1) is observed, no keyboard commands work: nothing happens when pressing Command-W, Command-uparrow or Command-N to open a new window. Text typed will not be entered to change filenames (but this can still be done by typing the desired text in TextEdit, copying there and selecting and pasting with mouse commands.)
    <* I have downloaded an app for forcing file deletion, but haven't really needed it - the delete option and keyboard commands all return after shutdown and reboot, and there's usually enough annoying stuff going on by this time that that seems the best thing to do.>
    Things which I've tried to fix it with so far (not in this order):
    - blowing dust out of the back with canned air
    - checking temperatures - CPU/GPU showing 72/73, HD bay 51, etc.
    - fixing permissions from normal boot
    - boot from install disk and running extended hardware test (no problems found during scans repeated several times during the past month)
    - fixing permissions and running Disk First Aid from install disk boot
    - getting files off the hard drive (was as low as 3 GB free space, currently ~ 35 GB and climbing)
    - clearing PRAM
    - resetting system manager (name? - hold down power button when reconnecting power cable, etc.)
    - Power Saver display and computer auto sleep are shut off (both on "never" - I regularly put it to sleep manually)
    - virus scans (Clam XAV)
    I realize that this is a kitchen sink collection of symptoms, but these things may be related and if so, OS developers may want to be sure these problems are avoided in current versions. (Yes I will upgrade my OS soon...)

    Thanks for checking in, Miriam - sorry to get testy about it.
    The iMac's RAM is maxed out (2.5 GB)
    Yes, the system log does report overtemp message to Power management prior to shutdown (today's log at end of post)
    Where do I find normal temperatures for the system? What are the important parameters to watch and what sort of fixes are possible?
    iStat currently shows:
    HD 54° CPU 67° GPU 72° Incoming air 38° (???)
    HD bay 54° GPU ambient 71° opt drive 49°
    ==========================================
    Console.log was largely full of stuff about a bad flash drive I stuck in as a Hail Mary and failure of communication with a scanner (old HP, driver package installs a program which starts at launch which doesn't show up under Startup Items. Apparently the permission got mislaid, so I fixed permissions and this seems OK now. (Only included that because some of it shows up in System.log and it's not worth focusing on.)
    [That all said, there is a software/OS component to the problem and it is graphics-related. The other night I was looking at some flash videos in a series and one in particular repeatedly caused shutdown, while others played normally: domain = jebhost.com /youtube/list.php?q=Henry+8.o&Submit=GO "The Tricycle Thief" only played through once out of about six tries.]

  • Issues with exporting video from MacBook Pro to flash drive

    I cannot sucessfully transfer [export] video taken on my gopro camera, from my MacBook Pro to any flash drive and play them on other computers.  For some reason the files are not playable, even with quicktime.  They will not play with ANY of my video softwares such as divx or any AVCHD software on a windows computer.  I need to make a presentation for a club trip in a few days! Can any one please suggest what is wrong?  They play on the Mac using Flip player but not quicktime!
    Oh, and I don't have issues with transfering or exporting Jpegs or other photo formats.  Only video.
    Message was edited by: gmob25

    hmmm.. the files from GoPro are already mp4 format.  The Flash is already FAT32, brand new 16gig...
    I am new to Macs but have no problems with PC's.  I suspect that because the files are exporting as shadowed files which won't play and are very small kb files, yet they are actually in excess of 140 mb each that it might have something to do with the iphoto software?  That's where the pics and video are, they imported to there by default, not to a folder in the home folder [which is where I would have expected them to be]
    By the way, the GoPro is already in mp4 format so it is easy when transferring to computers. No need to convert. I tried converting them to see what the outcome might be, and none worked!  I tried every format I could find using Video converter ultimate software, which is excellent.
    And the problems began when quicktime wouldnt play the file, the screen was black.

  • Flash drive + speed issue

    My macbook is running slow as ever. it freezes every now and then.
    The biggest problem is that it takes more than 5 minutes to detect a flash drive.
    i am using 10.5.8 and i have 1gig RAM. i repaired all the disk permission but that did not slove the issue. i am fed up force shutting down my macbook. please help.
    thankyou.

    Try reinstalling OS X:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    Also, add more RAM to your computer. 1 GB is not enough. You should use 2 GBs or more (if your model supports it.) Also be sure you maintain ample free space on your hard drive - 10 GBs or 15% of the hard drive's capacity whichever is greater.

  • 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!
    Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but hit a man with a brick and you can have all his fish...and his wife!

    You're welcome.
    According to MSI's website, there are multiple ways to flash the BIOS.  Here are the links to their documents on the alternatives.
    How to flash the BIOS CD
    How to flash the BIOS Flash Drive
    How to upgrade BIOS using MSI LiveUpdate Utility
    This page shows all of the BIOS updates available for download for the K9A Platinum.  Probably best to go with the latest release.
    I don't have any MSI products but it looks like LiveUpdate might be the easiest since it works from inside the operating system.  If that will not work for you then I would use CD.  They're easy to make bootable following the guide above.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Flash drives and sleep issues

    I'm not sure if this is a Tiger problem or a G4 issue, but I'll start here.
    I plug 1Gb flash drives into an Adaptec FW+USB2 card in my Quicksilver running 10.4.11 and the computer will go to sleep fine. Read on.
    With a SanDisk drive when I wake up the computer it gives me an error message about the drive not having been properly removed, but the computer does wake up and the drive icon is still present and the drive appears to be okay. Apart from having to click to remove the warning message nothing seems to be the problem. Okay, I can live with that.
    I do the same thing with an Imation 1Gb flash drive and the computer will not wake up. I have to use the small reset button to reboot the computer.
    Both drives are FAT16 format because I use them to regularly transfer files between the Quicksilver and a Windows machine. The only difference I notice between the drives is that when I use the Imation drive a file or folder or something named "EA" briefly appears in the Finder window where all the regular files are listed. There isn't any icon and there's nothing under date, size, or kind. If I click on the EA it disappears, but reappears each time I attach the drive.

    Update and answer my own question.
    I re-formatted the Imation drive as FAT16 (what is was already) using disk Utility and the strange file has disappeared. Must have been something to do with the factory formatting.
    I also read that the only thing to do about Flash drives and post-sleep kernal panic is to make sure you disconnect the drive before sleep. Either that or get a card that will identify a flash drive as being attached and prevent sleep, or to disable sleep mode.
