Peripheral for external Iomega Zip MAC 100 & Mac Book Pro

I would like to download files from an external Iomega Zip Mac 100 but the peripheral is not compatible with my MacBook Pro 13". 
What do I need to get in order to do this, and will I also need to download a driver for the Mac to see it?
Thank you.

I haven't used a ZIP drive with a Mac in over a decade... I have no idea what sort of interface the Iomega device has? Do you know?
More likely than not, you're going to have to find some computer that has the right interface.

  • Does OS 9 have built in support for external Iomega Zip drives?

    Hi,
    Does OS 9.x have built-in support for external SCSI Iomega Zip drives?

    Yeah, you are correct, but Iomega's drivers & APPs were one really destabilizing factor for OS9, as well as ruining a few ZIP Disks with that Death Head crash, and being a nuisance. Intech's drivers gave twice the R&W speed, never failed, never crashed, could Format & Partition them... also worked for MOs, JAZZ, SyJets, other Syquests from 44MB to 550MB, and any other drive regardless of IDE, SCSI, FW, USB.

  • Any fix for external Iomega HDD won't mount to iMac OSX 10.8.5 Desktop?

    I have a 750GB Iomega external HDD that I've used for several years to back up my iMac (OSX 10.8.5) with Time Machine.  No problems.  Computer locked up while searching on the internet last night, requiring a restart.  The external HDD never came back up on my desktop,  It has power and all cable connectors are tight.  The disk powers up and runs, but it just repeats its attempt to mount over and over, but won't show up on the desktop.  So I can't run Disk Utility or any diagnostic software, since it isn't accessible form the iMac.
    Any suggestions?  I'm guessing my only option is to bite the bullet and buy a replacement backup hard drive, and start over from scratch in Time Machine.  My attempts to look for help on the Iomega site have been frustrated by the new post merger Lenovo-EMC based site.  Practically no references found to Iomega at all!

    Yes, I checked that, and I tried restarting the computer with the HD turned on, then again with the HD turned off until after the computer finished booting up before turning the HD on.  Nothing has worked to get the externa; drive to show up on the desktop.  Thanks for replying.  I'm not holding out much hope that the drive is going to work again.  I'm on my way out to pick up a new backup drive.  I figure I'll get one that is at least a TB, and 3.0 USB capable so that when the time comes that I replace my old iMac, the new drive will at least be able to back up the new equipment.

  • Support for Iomega Zip drives?

    Does OS 8 have built-in support for external Iomega Zip drives?
    Does anyone know if OS 7.x does?

    I don't know about System 7.5, but I have a PowerMac 6500/300 that came with both System 7.6.1 and an internal ZIP drive. I think you do need to download some drivers from Iomega to get it to work however. I do know that when I tried a clean install of OS 8 some years back, I couldn't use the ZIP drive. I think I also had to upgrade the ZIP drivers at some point, but I can't remember if it was when I upgraded to OS 8, applied the 8.1 patch, or upgraded to 8.5 and applied the 8.6 patch.
    All I know is that you can use both the internal and the external ZIP drives with 7.6.1 if you download a driver from Iomega. Weather or not you can still do so is another issue. I could extract them from the RestoreCD, but it wouldn't have an installer.

  • Iomega Zip Drive

    I have an external Iomega Zip drive with a USB connection that I was using with a PC. I plugged it into my Mac and it worked fine. Then, when I went back and plugged it into my PC it said the drive was unreadable. Is there any way to get the drive to be compatible with my PC again without destroying the files that are on it? Thank you.
    Nate

    Thank you for the response. The external zip drive AND disk were working with a PC before I plugged it into a Mac. Does the Mac reformat the disk and/or drive automatically when it is connected with USB thereby making it incompatible with a PC? If I reformat using the program you suggest, will the files currently on the disk get erased? Thanks for your help.

  • AUDIO SAMPLES FROM IOMEGA 100 ZIP DRIVE TO MAC BOOK PRO / LOGIC?

    Posted: Fri, Feb 15 2013, 1:27pm    Post subject: AUDIO SAMPLES FROM ZIP 100 TO MACBOOK PRO / LOGIC?
    HI THERE
    I HAVE LOADS OF OLD AUDIO SAMPLES ON ZIP DISKS ( ZIP 100 using akai cd3000 sampler ) THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRANSFER TO MY MAC BOOK PRO FOR LOGIC EX24.
    IS IT A SIMPLE CASE OF A 'SCSI TO USB LEAD' , WILL MY MAC BOOK PICK IT UP FROM THERE OR DO I NEED SOFTWARE OR DRIVERS FOR MY MAC TO BE ABLE TO SEE THEM?
    IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE AT ALL?
    THANKS

    Hi guys
    Sorry for the delay in coming back. I bought a zip drive pretty cheaply then and it has only just turned up. However when I put my old ZIP disks in, it seems like the ZIP drive reads them at least but the MACBOOK comes up with the following message...
    'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer'
    Does this pretty much mean a no go then?  Or can I put the samples from my AKAI sampler back through the old ZIP drive,  reformat some new disks in a certain way on that drive so that my MAC can read them?
    All its for really is mainly to take old tracks that used these samples and getting them set up in my mac.  Also there was some good bits and pieces there anyway and would like to keep using those samples for newer projects. I could of coourse resample them from the AKAI straight to the MAC but would be not as practical and would take alot longer. The 13'' macbook pros input is not digital, only its output.
    thanks

    1)You should first look at system profiler if ID 5/6 is already used.IF Zip Drive is last in the row set Termination"ON"
    2)according to Iomega's customer help you should use IomegaWare 3.0.4
    3) You can download driver here

  • Iomega ZIP drive-constantly unable to read disks when using on both PC&Mac

    I'm constantly having problems with Iomega ZIP disks:
    -can't be read by PC or MAC
    -needs reformatting
    I have to erase the disk using disk utitlities and make sure its FAT 32 (not 16) for the PC to read it.
    However this is only temporary as the disk will again become unreadable by both machines.
    Is this because i'm constantly using is on both machines?
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Any solutions?
    This appears to have started since the last major OS X upgrade - i.e 10.3 to 10.4.
    Cheers
    Tasha

    You may not want to hear this - but the best thing to do is to get anything that matters off Zip disks, and never touch them again. They're inherently unreliable, and you're much better off using CD-R or DVD-R.

  • Which format for External HD using Mac OSX Windows Xp, and Vista?

    Hi
    I've had problems with using an extermal HD and am looking for some further information...
    I have recently purchased a 500 g external iomega hard drive. I need it to be compatible with my mac using osx, and with pc's using both Windows XP and vista. I will routinely be needing to transfer files from all three platforms.
    I had reformatted my hard drive to FAT32 on the pc using windows xp and it worked fine, then took it home and used in on my mac, and it is now no longer recognized on the pc.
    The HD is under disk manager is showing that it is formatted as FAT32 but I cannot use the drive. I cannot download programs to use on the PC's to make the drive compatible but could on the mac.
    What are my best options to share files reliably?
    Thanks

    Add NTFS write support to Mac OS instead.
    MacFUSE +3G is a good start.

  • How can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory?

    i don't know if this question has been asked before: how can I use my external hard drive for my iphoto instead of my mac book pro memory? just like itunes all my song are save on my external hard drive. make sense?

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • HT201250 I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive.  The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc).  Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

    I have two external hard drives. One is my Time Machine backup drive.  The other I use for external storage of files (documents, photos, movies, etc).  Can I set Time Machine to backup BOTH my Mac hard drive and my other external hard drive?

    Yes you can make multiple backups on one hard drive, for example if you’ve 1TB hard drive installed in your PC and you’ve two Mac Machines with 500GB drive each then you just make two backup images with size of 500GB each.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.
