Lenovo usb drive works with MBA

I tried an external usb drive that came with my lenovo x61s at work. Works fine. Just though I would let folks know. It is larger than the superdrive and may be more expensive, but if you have one or know someone who does then it will work.

couple of things to try:
_*Checking a device’s USB connection*_
_*If a USB device isn’t working*_
you could also try starting up in _*safe mode*_, then reboot normally, to see if that fixes things.
lastly, you could run _*Apple Hardware Test*_ using the install DVD that came with your machine.

  • HDD USB drive works with Mavericks but not with Yosemite

    I have a 1TB Maxell HDD USB that always worked fine with my MacBook Pro running currently iOS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) and I just bought a new iMac running iOS 10.10.1 (Yosemite). When I connect the USB drive to the iMac with Yosemite it won't even show up in the Disk Utility, regardless what format I choose when re-formatting it on my older Mavericks MacBook.
    I have the same USB drive from Maxell with 500GB and that seems to work fine between Mavericks and Yosemite. So what is the problem with this 1TB USB drive? Does anyone has a solution on how to get to mount on Yosemite?
    Many thanks for any help!

  • Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

    Will the lightning USB adapter work with regular USB jump drives?

    Not really.
    Technically, with some USB drives (I've had a 50% success rate) you can import photos or videos off the drive - thi those photos or video follow a very strict naming convention.
    But you cannot import anything but photos or video and there is zero support to write off the iPad to the flash drive....so while it technically may work, it's so limited to effectively not work.

  • USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"

    USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"

    USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
    Here are my symptom
    - USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
    - I can see them in "My Computer"
    - I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list
    - They show up as "Disk drives" in device manager
    - When I right click their icons in "My Computer", there is no option to "Eject" them
    - In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
    After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
    I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.
    Thank you

  • Which types of external hard drives works with T400?

    Hi Thank you for reading my post.
    Can someone please let me know which types of external hard drives works with a T400?
    eSata, USB or firewire?
     Which model and brand you suggest for a 1TB drive?
    Thanks 

    USB 2.0 is the connection that is natively supported on the T400, no eSATA or Firewire port i think, you can get these ports by buying an expansion card for the card slot (i think it is the expresscard one) on the T400.
    Regarding a 1TB drive, most of the large drive manufacturers have one out, but i suggest you unless you need the large capacity, i would stick with a smaller drives like 750 gig or 500 gig since the cost gigabyte is lower. Also i would stay away for storing all your important files solely in these drive, because if these things start to fail it would be on a moment's notice, you probably won't even have time to backup the files, before the harddrive gives up on you.

  • I don't want to spend 60  pounds on a apple cd hard drive, so will any cd hard drive work with a macbook air?

    I don't want to spend 60  pounds on a apple cd hard drive, so will any cd hard drive work with a macbook air?

    As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
    You might want to consider one of these from Amazon.  I have one on my MBA and it works well.

  • Please could you tell me what DLT/SDLT/Ultrium series drive works with Sun Fire V880 with SCSI Sun X

    Please could you tell me what DLT/SDLT/Ultrium series drive works with Sun Fire V880 with SCSI Sun X6540A?
    The question is URGENT because we need to do backup/restore of our Databases but we have not backup device...
    We want to buy it but we don't know what exactly drives we can choose for our Sun with X6540A SCSI card.

    Hello,
    the X6540A is a Dual Single-Ended Ultra/Wide SCSI (PCI) controller. The controller is only upto 40MB/sec, which might be suficient for a SDLT600 or LTO-2.
    Every Single-Ended SCSI device works with this card, <b>but</b> performance would be low when using LVD/SE devices (some LVD devices can't operate in SE mode!)
    I would suggest that you call Sun Sales.
    I guess that the <b>PCI/PCI-X Dual Ultra320 SCSI Adapter</b> (SG-XPCI2SCSI-LM320) or <b>PCI Dual Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter (LVD)</b> (X6758A) are a better choice if attaching more recent drives.
    This is the <b> Sun Fire V880 - Full Components List</b>.

  • Will a WD hard drive work with AirPort Extreme to connect with an iPad Air

    Will a WD hard drive work with Airport Extreme to connect by a iPad Air

    If you already have an AE and a WD drive .. the best idea is plug it in and see on a mac in airport utility is the drive recognised.
    If not you have problems.. if it is formatted correctly (Not NTFS mainly) then it can be a drive that is not compatible.
    assuming it works get your ipad and pay for filebrowser or at least download a test copy and see how it goes.
    Always the best way to find out.. try it.

  • Will a USB SuperDrive work with my Mac Book Pro?

    Will a USB Superdrive work with my mac booc pro?

    lorifromgermany,
    if you have a non-Retina MacBook Pro, the following command could allow a USB SuperDrive to work with it.
    Log in as an administrative user, open Terminal, run the following command within Terminal, close Terminal, and then restart your MacBook Pro:
    sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1"
    (When it asks you for a password, enter the administrative user’s password.)

  • G3 missing internal hard drives using OS 10.3.9, Disk drives work with OS 9

    G3 missing internal hard drives using OS 10.3.9, Disk drives work with OS 9. I installed OS X over a year ago, and could never get it to recognize 2 previous internal disk drives. When I run OS 9 it works fine.

    rob:
    I think I'm beginning to get the picture. "Missing drives" refers to the two that do not show up on the DT when you boot in OS X. Now, some more questions for clarification.
    1. Is each of the drives formatted Mac OS Extended or HFS+?
    2. What do you have on each individual drive?
    3. What OS is installed on the Master drive?
    4. Are OS 9 and OS X installed on separate drives?
    5. If they are, is there a particular reason you want it so?
    6. Can you use the Startup Manager to select the startup disk?
    7. Which is the default startup disk?
    Lots of questions, I know, but it will help me to get a picture of the set up. I think I have an idea of what is going on, but I can't be sure until I know more.
    Good luck.

  • How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

    I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

    We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
    Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
    Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
    Format the drive
    It should now work on both OSs; report back
