Problem with USM 64A1 USB drive 64GB

Iam from Mumbai, India and I bought USM64SA1 on 28th May2015 in Singapore. My PC shows 32MB only. I feel cheated, as I have receipt & original packing. How to resolve.

Afraid it is all downhill from here: from what I have learnt, that drive uses a Prolific Revision A chipset. This means it cannot be used as the boot drive for your mac. http://www.ultraproducts.com/ seems to be the manufacturer and on their website forums about their enclosures detail similar issues and worse - write failures over firewire.
I cannot say much about the chipsets. Some folk swear by Oxford, which has to the best of my knowledge always supported Firewire startup. Personally, my ext hd is a Prolific Rev C and I have had no problems at all.
That all said and done, I trust that only the firewire connection is made and not the FW and USB? Also, if it is connected only via USB, are the mount problems experienced?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

  • Startup problem with Adaptec FireWire/USB drive enclosure?

    I recently acquired a Core Duo 1.66GHz mini. Soon after buying it I noticed that on startup, I get to the gray screen with Apple logo, and it freezes there for about 3-4 minutes before the spinning wheel appears briefly and then OS X starts normally.
    I eventually figured out that it only does this when my Adaptec 3.5" FireWire/USB drive enclosure is connected via FireWire. If the drive is not connected the mini starts up lightning fast.
    It seems to be an issue specific to the mini and this model of enclosure. I put another drive in the enclosure; same issue. I tried another enclosure I had; issue doesn't happen. I tried the Adaptec enclosure with a MacBook; issue doesn't happen. I exchanged the Adaptec enclosure for another of the same model; the issue still occurs. I even exchanged the mini for another; the issue still occurs.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening and what I might do to fix it? I don't restart very often so this isn't too annoying, nonetheless I'd really love to fix it if I can.

  • Problem with Installer and DVD drive

    I am having problems with my dvd combo drive reading discs. It keeps spitting them out. More importantly, I am trying to load Adobe Illustrator CS2 and cannot get all the wat through the installation proccess. Is there a patch I am not aware of??

    You could be looking at some kind of driver corruption issue (say if that sector on your hd had gone bad, or the file was dorked somehow). Have you done repaired permissions on the hd recently?
    Do all types of DVDs fail -- music, movies, and apps? If some work and others do not, then it could be a problem with a particular app.
    It never hurts to check the cables. Insufficient data or power can cause all kinds of problems.

  • I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    I refurbished my macbook air 7 months ago because there was a problem with the steady state drive. Now my battery seems to be dead again. How long does the warranty last? Do I need to pay for a new battery?

    As I wrote Apple will diagnose an Apple product even if it is out of warranty for free. That should be your first step to find out if the problem is the battery or something else.
    Once you have Apple telling you a 7 month old battery is defective (if that turns out to be the case)  then it becomes a game of horse trading. You'll need to speak to the tech and when he tells you there is nothing he can do you will need to speak to the tech manager and when she says most likely there is nothing they can do you go to the store manager, etc.  It is unlikely (though possible) that they will give in easily you need to be firm, polite and let on that you're willing to accept a partial reimbursement.
    So again the first step is to find out what is wrong.
    good luck

  • Problems with Elitebook 8460p graphics driver

    Hello
    I´m having problems with Elitebook 8460p display driver. The last version (15.28.20.64.3347) posted on 16 jun 2014 have some issues on the laptop. When the notebook is running on batteries the screen suffers from flickering and corrupted graphics, as you can see in this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ1w0aOaF7A
    (you can see the flickering between 0:20-0:22)
    I contacted with local hp support and send me an IT guy, who changed my mainboard and CPU, but nothing worked. I tried to contact with intel for support (the issue is present with intel non-oem drivers) but they send me to OEM. I would like to have an actual driver that works with the system (3347 is a year old driver), is this possible?
    This issue isn´t present at all in linux drivers, plus mainboard change i totally discard a hardware problem.
    I can provide feedback for any solution provided.
    Thanks!

    Hello @falken2k5 
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the Elitebook 8460p is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE

    I hate to say it, but I agree with carbon_unit, this sounds like a Windows problem.
    As a long shot you could try uninstalling all USB hubs in Device Manager, re-install the Chipset Drivers and restart the sytem to allow the USB hubs automatically installed again. I doubt this will help, but it's all I could think of.

  • Problems with my computer (USB 3.0 and LAN)

    Hi there,
    A few months ago i have built my own computer. I selected the parts and asked if it will work together with no problems.
    After I built it and installed Windows 8.1 I detected that almost everything worked. Only the USB 3.0 did not work properly but I had no big worries because it was no big issue for me.
    Today I decided to use a LAN connection (cable) instead of using a WIFI adapter. I found that the computer didn't detect the cable. First I thought that there was no signal trough the cable so I checked it. I put the cable in my Playstation 3 and did a Internet test. Everything worked. So I found it strange that the cable didn't worked in the computer (same cable as playstation). I searched the internet if I had installed the correct drivers. After looking in Device manager I found that there was no Internet adapter connected (I disconnected my WIFI adapter). Up to now I didn't resolved the problem but I tried a lot of things.
    For the USB 3.0, I found that there is an unkown device (device manager) and when I let it search for the proper driver it says that it don't have enough information.
    The name for the device is: USB xHCI-compatible hostcontroller (translated from Dutch). In the BIOS it detects which component I connect to the USB 3.0 Slot but when I am in windows (8.1), It says nothing (not even a sound that it's connected). So I think it is something with the drivers or chipset??
    Parts of my computer:
    Intel I5 4670K (Haswell) (Socket 1150)
    MSI GTX 770
    2x Ballistix 4GB RAM memory
    Samsung EVO 120GB SSD
    Seagate 1TB HDD
    MSI B85M-G43
    Case is an Fractal Design R4 windowed black
    My questions
    - How do I install the Networkcard properly
    - How do I install the USB 3.0 Properly
    I would appreciate it if you could solve the problems for me!
    Already thanks!
    Jur

    Can you share the screen shot of the device manager?
    According to B85M-G43, it is equipped with 4 x USB 3.0 ports (2 ports on the back panel, 2 ports available through the Intel USB connectors)
    No need to install USB 3.0 driver in WIN8.1 just in-box is okay.
    Did you tried the LAN driver from the website?

  • Problems with Sandisk Cruzer flash drive

    I've never used a flash drive before but I recently bought a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive to use for temporary backups of photo images. When I first inserted it into the USB port of my Mac Mini PPC G4 it wouldn't show up in the finder. I called SanDisk and they told me to reformat the drive using Disk Utility's OS Mac Extended which I did. The drive then worked fine. Recently I dragged all the photos saved on the drive to the trash and attempted to save about a 100 new photos to it and I got an insufficient space error message. As there should have been plenty of room for these photos I was puzzled by this and wound up reformatting the drive again in hopes that it would solve the problem, which it did. Am I doing something wrong here, and if not, any idea what's forcing me to to reformat the drive every time I want to add new files to it?
    Thanks,

    As simple as it sounds, one has to ask first...
    When you dragged items from the flash drive to the Trash
    or had highlighted them all, and used Move to Trash... Did
    you Empty the Trash - and clear the items from the flash?
    The usual issues are with unmounting the USB flash,
    and when moving a lot of content, the time lag; so a
    few knowns continue to be similar with most users.
    Once in awhile, you may get a defective item, and if that
    happens right away, some retail vendors will exchange
    the one that does not work with another, or credit back
    if bought on a card and you can choose to try elsewhere.
    Reformatting the USB flash drive is often a last resort;
    but that should've fixed the basic problem. If flash acts
    up you can also use Get Info on the item to see if it says
    there is a content being held there after you've thought
    to trash the files associated with its use.

  • T440 - Problem booting from Win7 USB drive

    Dear Forum I have a wonderful new T440 here and am wishing to load Windows 7 x64 from a bootable usb memory stick, which I've always used and works fine on other computers (tested again this morning).However when I try to boot my T440 from this drive, I can bring up the temporary boot menu and see the usb drive in the list, but when I select it (press enter) the screen just flashes and comes back to the temporary boot menu. IT will not accept my memory stick! I tried with another stick with Win7 on , but got the same problem.   Interestingly I also have a X240 here and this behaves exactly the same.  So I don't think it is the USB Drive and its not the T440. What can I do. Just out of interest I was able to boot from a Windows 8 prepared USB drive... which is great but I don't want to load win8, I need to load win7.    help! Thanks

    Hey, i just bought a new T440p and i have the same issue with booting from a USB.
    Thing is, i already prepared the stick (FAT32), and enabled the secure boot. I read onlinde that with Windows 7 (which I try to install) i shouldnt enable the CSM Support, is that right?
    Are there any other things i need to change in order to boot from the USB?
    thanks in advance

  • Problem with zoomG2.1u USB audio interface

    Hello,
    I've just started using my MacBook Pro as a recording unit lately and I've had some problems with my zoomG2.1u . It doesn't seem to be recognised by the Mac or by Ableton Live. In system preferences I got absolutely no USB input whatsoever, and neither in Ableton Live. The only input I have everywhere is Ext in wich is the standard microphone.
    Am I doing something wrong, do I need a specific driver?
    Thank you in advance .

    I took a look into the preferences of garageband on my MacBook - there are two different choosable options in Audio/MIDI. First Audio out: set to systempreferences second: Audio in: set to systempreferences.
    Is this the right setting for my extern - microphone?
    In the systempreferences panel the settings are line out and line in.
    I also see the boxes flash when i speak into my plugged in micro.
    So i think its right set.
    Or isn´t it?
    Does the audio input level have a relation on this sounds?

  • Problem with the iPhone Camera Driver.

    I have the Original iPhone with a 3.1.2 OS and I'm on a Windows Vista Ultimate x64 machine. The "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" is installed and everything works perfectly normal, iTunes recognizes the iPhone and I can transfer files and use all the functions iTunes has. The only problem I have is that when I plug in my iPhone the "iPhone" driver fails to install every time therefor it's not showing on My Computer and I can't get the photos from my phone as the driver I need makes the iPhone look as a 'Digital Still Camera'. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling every Apple related software multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from the Device Manager and scanned for hardware changes but nothing worked. I also tried to change various USB ports and followed other simple instructions given by people on forums but none of these worked. I would really appreciate if anyone can help me solve this problem.
    This is the problem message I'm getting when it fails to install;
    http://www1.speedyshare.com/files/20781820/download/Problem.jpg
    ..and this is the report for that same error;
    http://www3.speedyshare.com/files/20781858/download/Report.jpg
    I think it's important to mention that I plugged in my phone on another machine (Windows XP) and every thing worked good.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a 3GS and was having many problems with my device driver using Windows 7.
    The solution I found was to uninstall the driver
    Can do this through Device Manager--
    KEY STEP: I also read that having any photos in your CAMERA ROLL which you saved from the internet or email will INTERFERE with proper installation of the driver.
    Save yourself some headaches and before going through these steps make sure you delete all images in your camera roll which were saved from email or the internet. I beat my head against the wall for a good hour because I couldn't believe it would make a difference--it does--I have no idea why.
    THEN:
    Open device manager and navigate to "Portable Devices" and uninstall the driver.
    Unplug the iphone and plug it back in. The driver should install normally and actually be functional. It worked for me anyway.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems with a key flash drive of 32GB from HP

    Hello all,
    I have recently acquired a USB key pendrive from HP with 32GB of capacity, but my 17" Macbook Pro has a problem while recognizing it. It is not even shown in finder, Disk Utility, etc.
    Curiously, I have tried the same key pendrive in a 13" Macbook Pro and it works perfectly. Both computers run OS X 10.6.8.
    Now, my 17" Macbook Pro actually recognizes the same type of key pendrive with only 8GB capacity (I own two) from the same brand.
    Both pendrives have MS-DOS format (also called FAT32). I have tried modifying this format to MAC OS Extended, but my computer still doesn't recognize it.
    Both are from the same version (11), have the same product ID (0x5a07), same manufacturer (0x03f0 - Hewlett Packard) and I have tried to erase their data and start again from scratch, but it still doesn't solve the problem.
    What is the problem, then? I've though of compatibility problems with high capacities, but my computer (MP 17") recognizes an external hard drive with 500GB with no problems. So how can I solve this?
    Thank you,

  • Problem with Huawei E180 USB Mobile Modem

    I have a little problem with my Huawei E180, that is causing only some inconvenience. If the modem is plugged in before turning on the power to the iMac, the Leopard doesn't boot up at all, just a blank white screen appears. After unplugging the modem and rebooting, there is no problems. There are no other problems with connections or anything, just this.
    This is only annoying, but I would like to know if there is some way to solve this problem. Or is this just a thing to live with? I couldn't find anything about this kind of problems with Google, or from Huawei's support forum or anywhere else.
    EDIT: I've been using Mac only for a month or so, so please be specific with answers.
    Message was edited by: RedKroovy

    Originally the Huawei is a Windows 2000 and Windows XP ONLY device, if you use Vodafone or Nova Media, they have their own custom made software which makes it mac compatible...
    The Huawei E180 does not use OEM drivers, at least ones that would be included with Leopard hence it does not recognize the USB dongle at boot up. Plus remember that when Leopard finds a network it will want to connect and configure everything out first before booting. In the case of GSM / 3G modem you may have to enter your username & password and save it in the "keychain", etc...
    The modems natively supported by Leopard are found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1122
    You will have to leave the Huawei E180 unplugged until you boot up into Leopard and then plug it in. Then Leopard will recognize and find the correct driver for it.

  • Problems with iomega External Hard Drive on MacBook Air

    Hi community!
    I'm experiencing some problems with my MacBook Air and an external hard drive and I'm wondering if anybody would be able to help me out.
    I own a MacBook Air running Mac OS X 10.7.3. When I connect my iomega 500GB external hard drive, the Finder is able to pick it up, but when I click on the drive name, it spins forever without the Finder responding for a long time (it basically crashes the Finder with a spinning ball staying forever). The light on the external hard drive flashes intermittently when I first plug it in, but after that stays constantly lit. So I guess the disk has power, but something else is wrong with it.
    It was working fine earlier today but I accidentally pulled the cable out while the disk was working. I'm hoping this hasn't permanently damaged my drive.
    Any help on what I could do to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    SV

    You might try launching Disk Utility, and then select the drive in question to run a "Verify disk" on the drive. This may indicate any errors in the file system of the drive that might be preventing the successful reading of the disk.
    If the disk is empty, you may want to re-partition and reformat, so as to start with a "clean slate".
