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.

  • 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.)

    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

  • 1GB Lexar USB drive - Acting Funky

    Hi,
    I've been using a Lexar "jump drive" for a long time moving .mp3s from mac to mac, mac to pc, etc. Within the last few months it started acting crazy, I chalked it up to a problem with the drive and bought a new one, a 1GB Lexar. But the problems have continued - the folders get corrupted and don't even seem to be there, the names of folder duplicate to other folders, the files copied there don't really go there, or they seem to but then disappear when you click on them or try to use them, when you try to erase the whole drive random file name words stick around.
    I'm running a MacBook Pro v10.4.9. The info on the drive from the disk utility is:
    Mount Point : /Volumes/LEXAR Capacity : 957.5 MB (1,003,995,136 Bytes)
    Format : MS-DOS File System (FAT16) Available : 957.1 MB (1,003,634,688 Bytes)
    Owners Enabled : No Used : 80.0 KB (81,920 Bytes)
    Number of Folders : 0 Number of Files : 512
    I ran the verify disk utility and got this:
    Verifying volume “LEXAR”
    ** /dev/disk2s1
    ** Phase 1 - Read FAT
    ** Phase 2 - Check Cluster Chains

    Mounting Disk
    1 non HFS volume checked
    Volume passed verification
    I'm not sure what's going on here, but I never had these drive problems before. I've checked the discussion boards and I haven't seen anything exactly like this one, so thought maybe someone could help. I was reading that maybe I have to reformat to HFS+ or something, but I don't know how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No, that particular format isn't read by PC, if you want to read/write with both Operating Systems choose FAT32
    > Is it something with 10.4.9 that makes the FAT drives buggy?
    Possibly, but it was formatted as FAT16 not 32

  • 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.

  • Jump Drive does not appear in finder

    Since installing Leopard none of my jump drives appear in the finder even after checking the appropriate boxes.

    Thought I'd post a couple of screenshots to help - a pic is worth.....
    This is the System Preferences > CD/DVD Pane which no longer appears on Macs without an optical drive (this is from my MBP with a Superdrive):
    This is the iPhoto Preferences window (within iPhoto):
    But, none of that applies to external optical drives because they will never show - the preferences you set will show the media, but not the drive. My external optical drive is brand new from OWC and it does not show. However, it works like a charm.
    As for your RAID setup - as I said, i can't help there because I have never used it.

  • Encrypting a USB jump drive / Quitting all open applications

    Hi,
    Two quick questions...
    1) I want to password encrypt my USB jump drive so that I am the only one who can get to it's content. I know how to do this using Toast for a cd or dvd. Is it possible?
    2) Is there a command to have all open applications quit?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Get a copy of Truecrypt. It will do what you want, and have the bonus of being compatible with Windows.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
