Iomega Hard-drive

I have managed to set up networking between my MAC MINI and Windows PC. However when I connect to the MAC using the URl \\w.x.y.z\MAC_NAME I can only see my folder and cannot connect to the IOMEGA DRIVE.
How can I authorize connection to the IOMEGA DRIVE so that I can transfer files from this drive to my PC ?
Any help would be appreciated

It should "just work ".
Did you get the version appropriate to your OS?
To add a share using Share Points, follow these 3 steps.

I cannot copy files from Macbook to Iomega hard drive

I wanted to use my Iomega hard drive on my macbook for the first time but I cannot copy any files.
Can anybody provide me with the steps I have to do to configure the Iomega (formerly used on a PC)
for the Macbook?
Thanks

If you want to use the drive exclusively on your Mac - and not a Mac and PC - open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder), click on the drive to be erase, and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition and give it a new name. It should only take a minute or so (depending on the size of the drive) to format.
Call back if you have any problems.

for system restore in case of hdd failure ?
Im not sure if the Bios will see the external hdd as a bootable device.
Thanks for any replies

It should.

Older iomega hard drive problems

We purchased three iomega Hi-speed usb 2.0 with 7200 RPM/320GB Desktop Hard Drives. One was connected to our desktop computer (long gone) for our back-up photo files. We can no longer access the information (25 years of photos). Our current computer cannot accept the hard drive to open the files. I will try a computer doctor to see if he/she might have an older computer that would be able to retrieve the data and place it on another driver. If there is any suggestions on the best way to go out this, I would appreciate it.
The other two units are connected to our Time Warner Cable TV system, each one in different rooms. We have been routinely recording the same programs for years. Suddenly not all recordings are being accepted. Both systems are having the same problem. (1) When I explore the TV viewing log for those programs that did not record, the notation states"The set-up was unable to record this program") I don't know if it is something with the iomega, something with the cable service, or some new compatability issue between the two systems. Sometimes the program is on the recorded list, but when selected there is nothing there, it moves along like there is a program to watch, but the screen is blank and/or (3) the program is there, we may verify there is a recording, but don't always watch it immediately. The next time the recorded program list is reviewed the progam has now been dumped and the notation in # 1 is what is listed as the reason. All other programs have the correct notations . . we chose to cancel a program or we deleted a program we already watched. I have changed the priority of the programs, deselected them and set them up again to record, rebooted the entire system, even tried that as a daily routine, and nothing seems to have an effect.
I realize these hard drives are old in the scheme of things, but I would like to continue to use the two as described if I can be given information on what I might do to verify what is wrong and how to correct it. Thanks much, Nancy

Are the receivers older as well? It sounds like it could be an issue with them. I was having similar issues with a directv receiver with built in disk and try replaced it. Do you have another drive you can connect to it for testing? See if it replicates on another drive. You could also connect the drives to a computer and see if they need to be de-fragmented or reformatted?
As for the one disk, if you are unable to access the data or drive then you will need to take it to a data recovery service. In the future, we always recommend having a back up of important data.

Iomega hard drive problems with iBook

I've just bought an Iomega 120 GB portable hard drive but it refuses to show up on desk top. I'm running OSX 10.4 which should be fine. I don't have any very large files (just photos and music) and no more than 50GB worth.
Any ideas what could be the problem?

could it be the power supply provided by the iBook isn't sufficient to power the HDD; it has no independent power supply?

Iomega hard drive problem copying movies

I've just purchased an Iomega external hard drive and every time I try to copy an iMovie project the following message appears:
'You cannot copy the item "icon" because the name is too long or includes characters that the disc cannot display.'
Could it be a problem with the tilda (~) character that's used in the back up project? I'd appreciate any advice. - Graeme

The problem is that your drive is PC-formatted. It must be Mac-formatted.

Iomega Hard Drive Problem

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post on as i have an issue with an external drive if i am in the wrong place could someone point me in the right direction please
Thanx
If this is the right place the problem i am having is this
I bought a 1TB iomega external hard drive from apple I plugged it into my mac & all was working perfect the problem started when i plugged it in via USB to my windows laptop i have just bought a Macbook Pro so all i wanted to do is get some files from my old laptop
This didnt work all it did was ask me to format the drive which i didnt do as i had already put over 400GB on there from my Powermacs hard drive & an old formec hard drive i was intending to get rid of a lot of this but i was trying to get everything in one place to start sorting through it. So i took it out of my windows laptop & put it back into my Powermac via Firewire now it wont show up on my desktop & in disk utility i can see the hard drive but in the erase or partition tabs the drive is listed as an MSDOS drive
I have tried verifying the disk no joy & i have also tried to repair the disk again no joy
So i now have a situation where the windows laptop is asking me to hard drive to format the drive & my mac wont even entertain it
all i want is to get most of the 400GB i have on there & then i'll format it no probs
Any ideas anyone
Thank You

Ok Time is getting a bit tight now i kind of need some files from this hard drive this week.
In disk utility under erase tab there is a security options button here i get a pop up window with 4 options on there now the first option is,
Don't Erase Data
Erases directory information so that data is no longer accessible. The data is left unchanged on disk until its disk space is required & is written over. Data is potentially recoverable until then. This option is the quickest but least secure.
From what i can gather if i check this & perform an erase i can recover the data afterwards as long as i don't overwrite anything.
My question now is if i perform the erase how can i recover my data is this something i can perform myself or will i need to take it to someone to do this for me.
Any Help guys Please

Iomega Hard Drive Disconnecting Problems / iMac Freezing on shutdown/restart!

I had noticed in the past week that when my iMac is in sleep mode that sometimes it is unresponsive when I try to wake it up to use it again, and then after a few minutes of trying, I have to manually power the computer on, like it randomly will shut itself down if it's in sleep mode for a longer time, but like I said, this is random.
The BIGGER problem I've encountered in the past two days is that when I go to eject my Iomega eGo Blue 1tb hard drive, the drive will not disconnect, the name on the sidebar of my finder just changes from black to grey underneath the devices row and on the desktop the Iomega icon turns lighter to indicate that it is not in use, but I cannot eject the drive, so it's still somewhat connected to the computer. I've had this drive for over a year with no complaints as I use it on both my MacBook (2009) and iMac (which I purchased new in October '11).
Instead of just turning off my hard drive or unplugging it, I try to restart my computer; however when I do that, the restart get stuck and nothing ends up working. I also have tried to shut it down with no luck, I then go to holding down the power button until it manually shuts down.
I also plugged in the hard drive to my MacBook and am not experiencing any mounting or disconnecting problems with it. I am very afraid that this may cause my Iomega to crash before I can get another hard drive to back everything up with!
I'm concerned that this could be a problem with both the hard drive and my Mac; does anyone have any input on this? I will probably end up taking it into the store or calling AppleCare, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar problem.
Thank you!

First reset the SMC, you may need to do this 2-3x. Also reset the PRAM, again 2-3x. Finally restart the computer in Safe Mode to reset some of the caches, it's possible one is corrupt. When resetting the SMC & PRAM please carefully follow the instructions below:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

HT1751 How do I move my entire iTunes library from my iomega hard drive to my new Mac Book Pro? I no longer want to keep my music on the external drive.

Because of a lack of enough memory on my old Mac Book, I put all my music on an external hard drive. Now that I have a new Mac Book Pro with lots of memory, I want to move the music onto this new computer but I haven't been able to yet. I tried the migration assistant but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

I may sound like a real rookie here, but on my new MacBook Air there isn't a "Pictures" folder under "Users/kendallwilson" like there used to be on my old MacBook Pro (Early 2011). I'm still working out the new software on my MB Air, so where exactly should I open this new window to start following the steps you just provided me.
Thanks again!

Can I install Aperture on an Iomega hard drive attached to my IMac and use it from there with iPhoto pix on the IMaac

Can I install Aperture on an external Ilmega hard drive attached to my IMac and run Aperture from there to use it with photos on my IMac iPhoto library?

It's usually best to have applications on the boot drive, so I'd turn your idea around: run Aperture from the internal disk and park iPhoto and maybe iTunes libraries on an external - which would free up space on the internal.

I am trying to get an Iomega hard drive to work with Time Machine

I have replaced my old Iomega drive with a new 2TB one but unlike the old one, which worked the minute I connected it to Time Machine, this one requests a password to the Iomega server. I have registered the product with Iomega but I have no idea where or how to set up this password. I found a way to update it in the Iomega settings but it requires and 'old' password to allow you to change it. I have tried everything I can think of but it still won't work!

Disk Utility, Partition (just one partition perhaps), make sure that GUID Partition table is chosen, then erase and format in Mac OS Extended (Journalled).
Then probably you can assign it in TM preferences.

Iomega hard drive question -- please help!

I am trying to use my iomega desktop hardrive usb 2.0 and the instructions are pretty clear up until the step where it says:
"select the partition needed for your mac:
GUID partition table for bootability on an intel-based mac computer
Apple partition map for a powerPC-based mac"
The specs for my mac are as follows:
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1 GB 667 MHz RAM
Macintosh HD
I was thinking of choosing the GUID, but I am not sure and I don't want to mess up because there are no further instructions and I am clueless as to what to do!

Yes, use GUID.

Iomega USB Hard Drive won't appear on my desktop. Please help

Hi, I purchased an Iomega desktop hardrive about 3 months ago and all has been working well.
I had no problems working it with my MacBook Pro and backed up all my files easily. I now need to get some files from my Iomega hard drive, but now when I switch it on nothing appears on the desktop.
I have restarted my Mac and the hard drive several times and still nothing. I even tried using the USB cable that came with my printer in case the cable was faulty, but still nothing.
I have not used the Iomega hard drive for over a month, so am not sure if this may have something to do with it?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

OK… does the drive appear in Disk Utility else System Profiler? Also, if you are using bus power to run the drive try plugging it into AC. Another possilbility is to place a powered USB hub inbetween the drive and yur MBP as sometime this helps.

Can I use an Iomega external hard drive with USB 3.0 on my iMac?

I ordered a 1T Iomega hard drive because Time Machine tells me that my Verbatim drive is full. I see that it is USB 3.0. Will it work on my Mac?

How much data is it backing-up? If the current drive can keep enough old backups for you, Time Machine will just delete the oldest ones when it needs room for new ones.
