Lexar 2 GB Jump Drive Secure II

When I attempt to transfer files off of above drive app. 3-5 MB will transfer, freeze up and I eventually get a dialog box stating that the drive was improperly removed.
Also, just recently my Maxtor external FW HD does not mount and I get a dialog stating that the disk is unrecognizable by the computer. I am running OS10.4.6 on this machine(or whatever the latest update is)
Both drives work fine on my G5 tower at work which is running 10.3.9
Any ideas? Thanks for reading

Okay... So it was apparently the way I plugged it up to the macbook. (I know, sounds stupid). It's working. No problem.

Lexar Jump Drive/DVD conflict

I have been dealing with a disappearing DVD player issue. Suddenly my DVD player would stop recognizing any DVD I put in the drive. I have had to reinstall and archive 5 times to figure out what the problem is. Seems the Secure II driver that came with my Jump Drive knocks out the DVD player.
Lexar is aware of this problem but has no fix. The easiest thing to do is go to the System folder, extension folder and remove the Lexar file. Then, reboot, and the DVD player is back in action.
Hope this helps.

I should also mention that the same thing happened with my G5 running OS 10.3.9.
I can use the Jump Drive without conflict if I do not load the Secure II driver. This software creates a secure 'vault' on the Jump Drive but it also seems to be the problem.
The conflict does not happen if you use the Jump Drive without using this vault driver.
Driver name 'LexarFilterScheme.kext' found in the main System, Extention folder. Remove file to desktop and reboot. Drop it back in to use your secure vault on the JD.

Jump drive vs. disk image for secure data, which is better?

I want to store all my financial files somewhere securely....encrypted and password protected. It seems my choices are either a jump drive or disk image. If I use the disk image on my Pro, I'll have to be able to back it up to an external drive for storage at another location. Is one method better than the other?

Well, I personally would go with a hardware encryption method over a software method. I have encrypted USB memory sticks, and they are not cheap, but they work seemlessly between my Mac and my Windows computers. I have used hardware encrypted external hard drives, and they have worked just as easily for me. The beauty there is that you don't need to install any software on a computer to use them. The drawback is that when they fail, you have much less hope of recovering your data, but since this is critical information, you are keeping it backed up somewhere (securely), so that is less of a concern.
There are plenty of good software choices as well, some of which are even free.
Back to your original question, flash memory or spinning disk? Both have a limited lifetime, and both will fail. Each time you write to flash memory you shorten its life a very little bit, so if this is information that will be updated quite often, a spinning disk might be a better choice. Also, capacity for your dollar will be lower cost for a spinning disk. I believe that Google has some interesting stats on spinning disk life spans, and considering the amount of data they have to deal with, they would be a good source for they type of statistic...

New IMac - transferring data with Lexar jump drive - all files come across as modified with todays date not date formed as on the old computer (also an IMac) what gives.

I purchased a new Imac and when transferring data with a Lexar Jump drive the filed come across as modified with todays date rather than the date that the files were created. How do I keep the files as they are?

Security with proximty sensor IE: bluetooth phone or jump drive

I know someone has done this using a bluetooth and applescript to unlock their computer when their phone is near and lock it when they walk away.
Can this be done with the iphone or a jump drive? Anyone have the scrips to do so? What other devices would allow this option?
I would like my computer to lock when Im away from it but not on a timer or anything of the sort.

Distinguishing two jump drives?

I have learned, from recent unpleasant experience with nonreturnable wireless peripherals, to ask questions BEFORE I buy anything new.
I am considering buying a second jump drive, for easy and frequent backup of text files. (I am a writer and loathe the idea of losing work, so I not only Save frequently, but drag-and-drop my word files to a jump drive several times a day.)
Currently, my single jump drive appears as an icon ("Lexar") on my screen. What will happen if I add another jump drive, for extra backup? Will my OS automatically label it Lexar 2 or something of that order so that I can readily distinguish them? Or will the OS become confused?
In general, are there any pitfalls I should be aware of before buying one or more additional jump drives? Long-term, I intend to rotate them, keeping at least one in another location, in case of fire destroying my computer and the attached jump drive.
(Despite unpleasant experiences with a local Mac store, I LOVE my Mac mini system and I love being back in the Apple world again.)
Mac mini 1,25 GHz,512 MB, 40 GB combo Mac OS X (10.4.5) Nec MultiSync LCD 175 VX. Lexar Jump Drive plugged into top of Belkin USB hub.

hi. Welcome to the boards. OS X is a little more forgiving them Windows. If you have a Jump Drive called Lexar and it's on your Desktop, once you plug in another Jump Drive that's identical, it will also say Lexar and appear on your desktop.
From there, you can change the name and you can even change the icon to make it even more personalized.
To change icons:
To select the icon you wish to use:
1) Click on the icon you wish to use
2) At the menu bar click Edit – Copy
To change the old icon to the new icon:
1) Click on the icon for the application you wish to change
2) Click on Finder – File – Get Info
3) In the Get Info window, click on the icon you wish to change (Top left corner)
4) At the menu bar, click - Edit – Paste

How do I scan jump drive for virus on a Mac Pro?

How do I scan a jump drive for a virus on a Macbook Pro?

Kat52 wrote:
Does a new Macbook Pro come with a virus program?
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Robust anti-virus and anti-malware protections have been integrated in OS X since its inception, and have only improved in the many years since then. Mavericks represents the beneficiary of all that experience. There is no separate program to install, but there are features you can use and practices you can observe to customize or augment those protections:
OS X Mavericks: Protect your Mac
OS X Mavericks: Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks: Keep your information safe
OS X About Gatekeeper
About file quarantine in OS X
If you install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp or virtualization software, Windows requires its own anti-virus measures. That's nothing new.
The following principles are intended specifically for OS X but can be adapted for any operating system or device.
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Can the mac osxlion usb jump drive be used after as a external drive for storing media files

can the mac osxlion usb jump drive be used after as a external drive for storing media files

If you are talking about the Lion install USB thumb drive sold by Apple then no it can't. it has some specail formatting that makes it show up as a DVD drive and is securely locked from any changes.
But I must ask why would you want to. That would destroy that drive and wipe out the Lion installer.
USB thumb drive can be bought for $8.

I've had several of my flash drives, (jump drives, thumb drives) sudden stop working on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Version 10.9.2, build 13C1021.

I don't know what to do. I need very detailed instructions to fix this problem with simple language.
Thanks

I would disagree with calling Lexar "very junky" given that their camera cards are very good quality, but what is true about USB flash drives in general is that they use a much lower grade of memory chip than you have in SSDs or in RAM.
It is not obvious why those flash drives are failing. Sorry if we can't easily identify a cause, but the plain fact is that thousands (millions?) of Mac users, including myself, use USB flash drives of all types and they simply do not fail that often. Something odd is going on there that is not happening on most Macs, but it's not easy to figure out what.
Oh, one more thing. When you paste a link from a web site, you usually don't need to paste in what's after the question mark. The part before is usually unique enough to reach the correct product page. The gibberish part after usually consists of various trackers, referrers, and markers for your session.

Will not recognize jump drive nor allow me to open DVD tray

Intermittantly, my G5 will not show my jump drive nor a CD on the desktop. At those times, it will not open the DVD tray either.
When this happens, I can go to system profiler and see both the jump drive and the CD--it's just not showing up on the desktop so I can't open them. The only way I can get the tray to open and to recognize the CD and or Jump Drive is to reboot the computer.
What is going on and why don't these show up on the desktop nor allow me to open the DVD tray.

I want to download Firefox 17 to a jump drive on a Windows machine and install it on my Mac. Can I do this?

I live in Mountain View and use Google WiFi which is provided by Google for the City of Mountain View. For the past few months, they have been having a BIG problem with the corruption of downloads. Even teensy tiny ones. Perhaps you've heard about it since you're also in Mountain View. They have not responded to repeated posts from the forum... I have an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I haven't been able to update my software. I go to Lane Medical Library at Stanford to use the Windows machines there. I load whatever standalone software that I can onto a jump drive and install it at home. Unfortunately, some sites (like Apple and maybe even Mozilla!) recognize the computer you're on and only allow you to download software compatible with the machine that you are actually sitting at. This means that I can't reinstall Safari because I can't get a copy of it. And it looks like I might not be able to install Firefox 17.0 either. At least, that's what I'm trying to find out. "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system." See what I mean? So when I go to the library, will I be able to download a copy of Firefox 17.0 for the Mac and install it on my computer at home? Thanks!

You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Download and save the DMG file for Mac on the jump drive and install the program in the usual way.

How do you get a jump drive to work on MacBook pro?

I have a new MacBook pro and I am trying to access work from a jump drive and my computer is not recognizing the drive. Can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or how to fix it? Thanks!

Have you tried the other USB port? Do you have any other USB drive to connect to see if the port is not working? When the jump drive is connected open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. Is the drive listed in the DU sidebar?

How do I transfer copied cds from one library to another? I have tried using a jump drive but it doesnt seem to work

A friend gave me her cds to copy so that she could put them on her itunes library and put them on her ipod. she couldnt spare the time for me to do this directly to her computer as she needs it for work all the time and she travels a lot. I copied all the cds to my (default) library although I could log into her account. I then copies them to a jump drive. When I tried to upload them to her itunes library on her computer it does not allow me to do so... Am I doing something wrong or is this a preventative issue so that people dont re-copy CD's. I have no interest in any of her music or CD content and would gladly delete from my library. I just want to be able to upload to her library, I hope this is possible somehow, or I will have to reburn all (200+ CDs again) to an itunes library....

Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I export a playlist to a jump drive?

My new motorcycle has a stereo with a usb port. I am using an iPod, but i frequently have dropouts or disconnects. I would like to try a jump drive, but pulling songs out of the folders takes so long…if I could drag a current playlist to the drive that would be much preferred. Plus it would take the album art with it. That leads to question #2…if I have to build a playlist by pulling songs out of folders, is there a way to get the album art? If not from iTunes, is there some other software? I checked out media monkey, but it does not appear to be iMac compatible.

Playlists are not in Finder, they are in iTunes. In reality they are only a list of tracks in your library file, not a specific arrangement of files in Finder. It's like a recipe in a cookbook. You have a recipe for cake and it tells you the ingredients for that cake which you have in various places in the kitchen. You probably do not keep the shelves in your kitchen arranged by recipe, otherwise you would have 50 containers of salt, 30 of flour, etc. If your files were arranged by playlist on the computer you might end up with 10 copies of the same file and people would quickly complain here about wasting drive space.
Open a Finder window, make it smaller and place it on the left side of your screen.
Open iTunes and make the window smaller and place it on the right side of your screen.
Click on a playlist and drag it from the iTunes window to the flash drive open in the Finder window, or even just where it shows in the sidebar if you have your preferences set for drives to display. All the files that make up the contents of that playlist will be copied to the flash drive. You won't see a playlist as such, but you will see all the files in that playlist. How your motorcycle's player handles things from this point really depends upon the motorcycle's player software and you will have to read the manual for that. Some only play a bunch of files alphabetically. Some may use specific playlist files to make a more orderly structure similar to iTunes, and then there's a whole different question as to how to generate that.
