Mounting NTFS,FAT32 and USB FLASH drive

Problem and problem!!
I am going to fade up with Solaris 10. Please somebody help me!!
Problem is with mounting my FAT32, NTFS partitions and USB flash drive (twinmos).
How can I mount FAT32, NTFS file system and my USB flash drive in Solaris 10??

cN: the N'th disk controller installed in the system
tN: the SCSI TARGET id. Also used for atapi, firewire and usb mass
storage device, but it's always 0. Use to identify a specific disk
device on the disk controller.
dN: the SCSI LUN id. For atapi devices this is 0 for master device,
1 for the slave device. For usb mass storge devices this field could
contain a value > 0 - for example usb flash card readers often
present the slots for the various flash card formats as multiple LUNs. For simple usb flash memory sticks, this should be
LUN 0.
sN: the slice N from the SunOS disk label. On a media without a
disk label, slice 2 can be used to access all of the medias contents. Solaris SPARC supports slices s0 - s7, Solaris x86
slices s0 - s15.
pN: on Solaris x86 only: p0 is the whole disk (similar to slice s2,
when there's no SunOS disk label), p1 - p4 are the four primary
fdisk partitions.
The ":c" suffix assumes the media contains the fat filesystem in
a separate fdisk partition, searches the fdisk partition table for
the first partition containing a fat filesystem, and mounts the
filesystem from that partition. On Solaris x86, instead of using
"p0:c" you could also use one of the p1 - p4 device; but the pN
fdisk slices don't exist on Solaris SPARC.

Time Maching backup and USB flash drives problem with TC

I have a time capsule that is currently backing up my computer for the first time. I want to add a USB hub to the USB port so I can add my flash drives and setup a printer wirelessly. I plugged in one of my flash drives into the USB port and a folder popped up that was titled "NO NAME". Is there any reason why TC isn't recognizing this as a disk and letting me move files to/from the flash drive. Additionally, is there anyway to backup the day-to-day Time Machine files to the flash drives instead of to the TC, or would this not be recommended?
Thanks to all who can help!

I have successfully mounted a USB flash drive but had to first reformat and name it using Disk utility. I am also using a USB hub with an external 750G drive attached through the USB hub.

OS 8.6 and USB flash drive

Is there software that will allow me to save my old documents and photos from my G3 iMac to a USB flash drive? Or is it not a software problem. I guess all flash drives are now USB 2.0. Any other ideas to salvage my old files?

I tried http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60394
Unfortunately, the software installation failed, see below. When following your instructions for my G3 iMac running Mac OS D1-8.6 and a 96MB hard drive, the computer froze during the Install Software part of the installation routine after clicking the Start and the Continue buttons even though all other software was off. Does anybody have a suggestion what may have caused this? Perhaps my non Apple-authorized SCSI board which I put in myself years ago?
Thanks

Rhapsody and USB flash drive.

I recently downloaded Rhapsody in order to transfer my music files to my Samsung Phone. That works great.
I like the program so much I have tried to make it my primary music program on my PC
I'm having a problem however. If I have a USB flash drive plugged into my computer, Rhapsody will not run. It locks up.
If Rhapsody is running and I plug in a flash drive, Rhapsody locks up.
I am running Windows XP. 3.2 Gig dual core processor, 3.25gig of ram.
Anyone else encounter this? What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix?
Thanks.

This is more a compatibility issue with your computer and the program itself. You will need to contact Rhapsody support for further troubleshooting. Here is the link for support Click Here

How do I safely remove my sd card and usb flash drives from my iMac?

iMac newbie here. After years of PC messes and crashes I finally converted to iMac. However it's not always easy to find what I am looking for. The first time I disconnected a usb flash drive a warning appeared on the screen. I neglected to jot down the instructions. Now I want to remove the SD card for my phone, and I don't want to mess anything up. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

You posted in the iMac forum; to properly dismount any external drive from a Mac, drag its' icon to the trash can. Then you can unplug it. I don't have an iphone, so I can't answer that. You'd get more knowledgeable answers for that question in an iPhone forum.

External hard drive library and USB flash drive

My iPhoto library is located on my external hard drive (laptop HD too full). I'll bed traveling for Xmas, so copied about 1GB of pics (organized into an album) to the flash drive to take with me. Once disconnected from the external drive (where the library is), how do I access the flash drive pics on my laptop? Will not iPhoto try to find the (disconnected) library?

Hi there
1. How did you copy the 'album' to the flash drive? You can't really export albums, as they are a virtual entity. only the pics therein.
2. On your laptop, connect the flash drive to it and go iPhoto -> File -> Import and imprt them into the Library.

Filevault 2 encryption and USB flash drives in Lion 10.7.1

I have my harddrive on my MacBook Air encrypted with File Vault 2 under Lion 10.7.1 Seems to work fine until I try and backup using time machine. Its very very very slow. - its saying it will take days to back up 90GB to a 256GB USB memory stick.
I thien tried to copy about 40GB of files to the stick and it was much faster - about 2 hours.
I thought that these files would be encrypted and unreadable on other macs? I plugged the stick into another mac and read the files just fine? I want them to be encryoted - does FV 2 support this capability?

If you copy files from an encrypted volume to an unencrypted one, the copies will be unencrypted. Using Disk Utility, you can format the USB device as Mac OS X Encrypted.

How to burn a powerpoint 2013 presentation to a DVD R and or USB flash drive.

My Powerpoint 2013 slideshow includes photo's, clip art with transitions and animations and embedded music.   I want to
burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive and send it to a friend.   My friend has a windows 7 desktop
computer and a DVD player attached to a TV.   Ideally I want to know how to burn the presentation to a DVD so that the presentation can be played back on the TV using the DVD player.    I do not want to lose any of the transitions
or animations when I burn the presentation to a DVD.          I know most TV's have a USB connection but have no idea how this works if the
presentation is copied to a USB flash drive.   What are my best options to keep the integrity of the presentation intact, and how do I go about doing this?   I need detailed instructions please.   Thanks in advance
for your assistance.

Hi,
The factor of keeping the integrity of presentation when you burn this presentation to either a DVD disk or a USB flash drive depends on performance of DVD disk and USB flash drive.
There are two ways to put PowerPoint presentation on a DVD convert PPT to video.
1. Convert PPT Files To DVD is to use a screen capture software.
2. Convert and Burn PowerPoint Presentation onto DVD would be to use a professional PowerPoint to DVD converter software.
For more detail information:
http://worldclassmedia.com/how-to-convert-powerpoint-files-to-dvd-put-a-powerpoint-presentation-on-tv/
If your TV doesn’t have built-in processors or Windows installed, it can’t run PowerPoint presentations in their native environment from a USB connectors. If so, you should convert it to video format first.

Error code -36 with FAT 32 USB Flash Drive

When copying files from my hard drive to a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive I keep getting error code -36 errors. I reformatted the flash drive to Mac OS Extended and the files copied fine. I formatted it back to FAT32 and the error returned. I need to use this drive with PC computers at school and can't leave it in the Mac format. Anyone know of a solution to this problem. It didn't do it with my G4 powermac and OS 10.4 but does with the mac mini with 10.6.

This is a problem I've been dealing with since getting a new Macbook for christmas. In my case I use a Macbook with 10.6.2 at home, networked to a winxp computer, also use FAT formatted USB sticks for backups and taking files to work....and at work I use a mix of winxp machines and older macs running 10.3 and 10.4. I move files around between them all the time, and have had this annoying error -36 file copying problem with the 10.6.2 macbook since day 1.
I did read about the dot_clean solution, and it does seem to work....sometimes. But the problem ISN'T just when copying a folder full of files. I also have the situation where I work on files in InDesign, and then export a PDF directly to the desktop. I then try to copy that ONE pdf file from the desktop to a FAT USB stick OR to an internet-accessed Appleshare volume, and I will get the dreaded error -36. MOST of the time when I get the error on a single file like this, it did actually copy and is useable on the USB stick / Appleshare volume and I can ignore the error. But sometimes not. Either way, it does show that the problem isn't just with folders of files, or even with the situation of copying a file from mac to windows to mac and then getting the error the next time you try to copy it to a win formatted volume.....you CAN get the error with an individual, just-created file in 10.6.2.
I sure wish Apple would fix this already!

USB Flash Drive Powered but Not Mounting

I have two USB flash drives that refuse to mount on my 13" MacBook Pro running 10.6.7.
The flash drive powers on, and blinks a bit.
The drive shows up in Disk Utility but the volumes are listed generically (like disk1s2) rather than having their proper volume name.
Clicking the mount button with a colume selected appears ineffective.
Trying to eject the drive results in:
The disk “Kingston DataTraveler 200 Media” could not be unmounted.
Ideas
Pulling the drive out without ejecting crashes Disk Utility. The Disk Utility Log doesn't say anything helpful.
I have two drives I've tried, opne the Kingston above which has two HFS+J volumes and another one formatted FAT32. Both drives work great on a different MacBook. I don't have other drives on hand to test at the moment.
I have MacFUSE and NTFS-3G and Parallels 6, installed, I haven't tried disabling them yet. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Figured it out yet? Ideas?

Just so you don't think you're alone, I've been having the same problem, but with firewire devices. I'm searching around to see if there's a solution. I re-ran the 10.4.3 combo updater and it seemed to "fix" things for a while, but now the problem is back. I was in the middle of a copy from a FW CD-drive and it just disconnected. Then the iMac disconnected a hard drive attached to the other FW port. So it's happening on both ports, even when the computer is actively engaged in something.
I'm going to run the updater again. Then I might try downgrading to 10.4.2.

imac 333 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 512m ram 40gig 7200 harddrive

I have a few devices connected all right but they work fine on either usb input. I think maybe the system software may be damaged somehow but i am only guessing and i dont want to re-install in case i am wrong.

If i use a usb flash drive which is both os and windows compatible can i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc using the same usb flash drive?

if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.

Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it. In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT). In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows. But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip.

Trying to format a new USB flash drive so it will work on both a Mac and PC

I have a brand new Sandisk USB flash drive that I am trying to copy movie files onto from my Mac's hard drive. For some reason I can copy one of the movie files but not the other, even though they are both Quicktime (.mov) files. In doing some research, it seems the one file will not copy/paste likely because it is over 4 GB in size and the FAT32 filing system on the USB drive prevents files in excess of this size to be copied and pasted.
My question to anyone who can help me is: How can I get files over 4 GB onto and off of this USB drive AND be able to use it for both Mac and PC computers?
Thanks for any advice.

If I format the USB stick on my Mac as exFAT, will my client who´s most likely using a PC be able to screen it tomorrow morning...??
exFAT would only be an issue if they were running a version of Windows older than XP. If it is XP, they would need to install the free exFAT update before being able to access the drive.

How to mount USB Flash Drive

Hello again Arch-Linux users,
I always search google very hard and for months (off and on) I search for how to mount a USB Flash Drive. Nothing ever work so I give up than try again months latter. I don't want to give up anymore and that is why I join this forum.
Here are some of the code I found on the net. Some of these commands will only re-mount the entire Arch-Linux running system in /mnt/usbstick.
sudo mount -o rw,noauto,async,user,umask=1000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
... don't work it only re-mount the entire system
/dev/sda15 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
... don't work... I found nothing inside /mnt/usbstick
mount -t vfat -o rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1001,gid=100,umask=077,iocharset=utf8 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
... don't work... here is the error i get:
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/usbstick busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is mounted on /
It strange that most USB mount commands use the operating system partition itself- example: /dev/sda1 as the device for USB device, while others use /dev/cdrom for cd - /dev/dvd for dvd and /dev/fd0 for floppy.
Could someone post the code that will easily mount a usb device under Arch_Linux.
I'm using Arch-Linux core-64 (08-2009)
Thanks in advance

Thanks fsckd,
I needed a rapid reply because I been wasting too much time not getting anything done because I needed to get pass this flash-drive thing. I can now have a secure back-up in my pocket on USB to go. Arch-Linux does it better for what I seen while just dd'ing on disk.
...lsusb
Found it

Thanks demian,
sdb is the location for my single hard-drive machine. I saw it before in my list above but I changed it to sda1 because I knew no better. I had no clue it represent a 2nd hard-drive for LINUX if one is not already present.
This did it for me
Thanks again

10.5.1: Unable to mount a USB flash drive.

I've seen this problem posted elsewhere, but so far I have yet to see a solution:
After upgrading my MacBook Pro to 10.5.1, it can no longer mount USB flash drives. They show up in System Profiler as well as the USB Probe tool, but do not show up in Disk Utility (and, obviously, not on the Desktop or listed in /Volumes).
I checked the drives on a co-worker's MBP, also running 10.5, and the problem persisted there. The drives mount and work fine under 10.4, as well as various flavors of Windows. When plugged into the MBPs, the status LEDs light up, so they are getting power, and mice plugged into the USB ports work fine.
So, the problem seems to be specific to mounting a USB flash drive in 10.5/10.5.1. I'm not sure if this is specific to MacBook Pros, or if the issue is the same on all 10.5 machines.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the USB problem. When I insert my USB memory pen, it flashes then stops. The icon doesn't come up on the Desktop, but the memory shows up on the System Profiler.
My USB telephone responds in Skype, but the sound input and output don't show up in Preferences, and so the phone doesn't work.
My Vodaphone USB internet modem won't connect.
This morning, I have no sound at all.
All these problems are resolved if the computer is restarted with the external source already plugged in, but it's a big hassle and must be solvable............
