My usb memory stick icon disappeared

I am new at using the memory sticks and somehow my icon was moved (I moved it by mistake) over to the itunes side of my computer and the mempory stick icon went POOF.....and it has not been seen since.
How can I retreive this? Any help would be appreciated......thanks

If your'e talking about your icon not being on the dock anymore than you need to open finder (The dark and light blue smiley face on the left side of your dock) and look on the menu bar on the left hand side of the finder. Scroll down until you see the name of the flash drive you want access to.

Auto Start Up when installing a usb memory stick into a usb port on the computer

Whenever I install a usb memory stick into my computer the Photoshop Album Starter Edition program begins running. How do I stop this from happening?

Phil,
I am not running the Starter Edition, but actually another version. However, since no one else has responded I will post what I think will work for the Starter Edition.
Look in your System Tray at the bottom right of your monitor. You should see a Camera icon that when you move near it will say Adobe Photo Downloader. Right click on the camera icon and you will probably have a choice of Disable - click on it.

Copy music from iTunes to USB Memory Stick

I am doing what I am supposed to do:
I highlight the songs I want to copy in iTunes.
I drag them to a fold in the USB Memory stick.
Every once in a while I get this error:
The item “name of song.mp3” can’t be replaced because it’s invisible.
I am dragging 100 songs at a time. This happens about 1/3 of the time. I then delete this "invisible" file. Sometimes, when I go back to the iTunes song, I can drag it from iTunes to the momory stick. Other times, I have to go to the file and drag it to the memory stick.
I have a 32 GB USB memory stick that I am loading up to play in my car radio. Doing this 100 songs at a time is taking me days....
I am on OS 10.6.8. I do have the OS setup so that I can see the invisible files.
It looks like, when I drag the music in, grayed out icons appear until the files copy. Sometimes those icons apparently appear as invisible files.
The USB is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) which is the way it arrived. I suspect that these memory sticks have to be formatted that way for the radio to read the files, but I have not tried the Mac format.

After you copy the files to the flash drive...
Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
Enter: dot_clean
spacebar
drag the flashdrive from the Desktop to the Termnal window
press enter

I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

hi all, i've just switched to apple after many years using MS OS! I'm now using iMac desktop 21.5" with 2.9GHz processor and latest Yosemite software.
How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac? cheers, linley94

Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.

Usb memory sticks

Hi I have several 2 GB usb memory sticks. I use them to carry Keynote/Powerpoint presentations to different venues as backup. Recently I have noticed when transferring files from my new iMac that I keep getting the message that the memory is full on the memory stick despite moving lots of old presentations to trash. I don't understand this as it works with my iBook and my work windows laptop. It's a mystery. Can anybody shed any light on this?
Thanks Tim

Hi there
I am having problems with my memory stick and my SD cards out of my camera! I have an IMAC leopard and i have done what you and susan above has recommended i have deleted out of trash when device is in but it looks as if its working and then i go to put pictures back on the SD card for my digital frame and it says theres not enough room when there is sufficient room. Its also not burning discs that must be part of the problem as well.

I have photos on a USB memory stick which I want to put onto my iPad. I bought the USB adaptor but for some reason the iPad is not recognising the memory stick. Can anyone help? Thank you

I have photos on a USB memory stick which I want to put onto my iPad. I bought the USB adaptor but for some reason the iPad is not recognising the memory stick. Can anyone help? Thank you

You need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them. But a lot of USB memory sticks need more power than is supplied to the kit, so you may need a powered hub between it and kit.

Problems reading USB memory sticks with OS 10.9

Cannot read USB memory sticks with current version of OS 10.9.1 that I previously read without any problem. What gives? Any way to fix this problem? I have lots of work and other material saved on the memory sticks that I need access to this quarter.

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

OS X Snow Leopard install from (non-boot) USB memory stick

oi~
just bought this second hand and after i finally got into it (the seller forgot name/password) it turns out the DVD drive is malfunctioning, i was able to watch part of a movie but it will not boot from it nor let me install from DVD. (seller is not calling me back or responding to anything i sent) bottom-line for now i can live without the DVD drive but i would like to install OS X Snow Leopard.. can i copy the DVD contents onto a 8 GB USB memory stick (using a Vista pc) and install from the USB stick ? it does not have to be bootable as i realize to do that you must use the Mac.
i also have a old(er) iMac, maybe i can use that copy copy contents (if it even reads DVD's)
any help appreciated.. thanks.

thanks..
i thought i put my model # in my info, it's a MB061LL/B (Apple MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 13") darn... i keep getting stuck when i think i have a solution. so copying the contents of the disc to a network pc will not work either. or, could i make the
USB stick bootable and copy contents using a old iMac ?
added: i might be able to borrow a MacBook w/ a working DVD player.. is it a fairly quick and painless process to create a bootable USB stick + put OS X Snow Leopard on it ? (i'm rusty when it comes to Mac..)

When i download my pictures to a usb memory stick in jpeg format other computers cannot open them can someone help me to sort this please thanks from a new iMac user

when i download my pictures (in jpeg format) to a usb memory stick they cannot be opened on another computer ie not a mac, do i need to convert the file so that other computers can read it thanks Sam

Sam,
Format your stick with MS-DOS (FAT32) format. I use camera CF cards as memory stick and a good practice is to regularly format them: it deals with defragmentation effectively.
JPG is a standard, regardless of which application writes it and is readable by all applications supporting JPG.
Make sure you properly eject your usb stick when you take the it out of the usb port: it makes sure the OS closes all open files.

Printing PDF's from USB memory stick on HP C7180

Problems using USB memory sticks

Whenever i connect a memory stick with my macbook and try to delete a file off it, the file is moved to trash which is all well and good. But when i go to put anything back on it a message pops up saying that the memory is full.
Both times when i've encountered this problem i'd filled the memory stick with pictures and moved them onto a microsoft computer. Then i connected the memory stick back with my macbook and deleted all the photos from the stick by moving them to the trash can. When i go to put another load of pictures on it says its full. But there are no files on the stick!
Both times the USB memory stick can't be used, i've tried looking for any files on the microsoft computer but that can't find any or save anything to it.
Does anyone know anyway i can stop this problem and somehow get the memory stick to work again?

Hi
Try reformatting your memory stick using Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. If you want to move files between OS X and Windows then you'll need to select FAT 32 format.
You may find you need to reformat the stick each time you copy a batch of photos from one machine to another.

Is there a problem with USB Memory Sticks and OSX?

This may not be the correct forum for this question but I don't know where else to ask!
I am having problems with a 64GB USB Memory Stick. Acrobat Reader can't read a pdf file on the memory stick but no problem from the hard drive. Acrobat Reader won't work from the memory stick. Music files (aif) won't play from the memory stick.
The memory stick came formatted for MS-DOS but I re-formatted it to MAC-OS Extended. I can write files to it but they don't seem to work from there. Is there some incompatability with OSX that I am not aware of? I would welcome some advice.

MAke sure the drive is inserted and mounted, then launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities. Type:
mount
and hit Enter.
One of the lines returned will contain the words, "/Volumes/<name of your flash drive>". Copy that whole line and paste it here so we can see what's up.

Size restrictions for USB memory sticks?

Hi out there,
are there any known size restrictions for the use of USB memory sticks with Mac OS X?
I bought two 32 GByte (noname) USB memory sticks to "mobilize" my iTunes-library. I formatted it without errors (believing what the DiskUtility-application told me) and copied my files to one stick. But only about 4 GByte of data where able to be opened after copying. The other files where shown in the directories with their correct sizes (I compared them to the originals on my harddisk) but couldn'd be opened.
I tried copying them a second time, using the second 32 GByte stick - but same behaviour as on stick one.
Next I tried to format both sticks with the DiskUtility using the option "writing zeros in seven runs" and then tested data integrity with the TechTool-Pro application (surface test, random read and write). Both showed no errors on the sticks. But copying my library again to the sticks showed no diffrent behaviour as before. The first few copied GByte (I think about 4 GByte) could be opened by iTunes, but the rest "is only there".
Any idea what's going wrong?

Hello Ansgar,
sounds like one of those faked 32GB Sticks.

Formatting/erasing USB memory stick using Disk Utility - won't unmount

Hi,
I've got a 2GB USB memory stick, and I'm trying to format it by erasing it on Disk Utility just as I have done with many USB memory sticks before now.
Whatever I try to do with this one though I get the error message:
"Volume Erase failed with error:
Could not unmount disk."
There are no manual switches on the USB memory stick to change, and I've checked that I have read/write privileges so I don't know what else to do. I can't find anyway of unmounting it.
I need this memory stick for transferring a large amount of files and it's the only one I've got, so any help that would stop me from buying a new one would be great!
Thanks people.

sorry bro it's toast. the only time i had something like this happen the manufacture said the drive had to be re-flashed. if they provide the software online you got lucky. other wise they will tell you to send in and get it replaced (warranty valid)
