Imac 2013 can't read USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station... HELP!

Hi,
I just purchased a 27" 2013 iMac. I am using a Plugable USB 3.0 HDD Docking Station to access my internal WD 640gb hard drive. On my MBP it reads just fine but when I plug it into my mac, I get nothing. It doesn't even show up in the Disk Utilities. It's formated to Mac Journaled Extended.
If you can help, I would appreciate it.

I have been using a 10 port Satechi. Supports USB 3.0 and is connected to late 2013 iMac. Satechi has several USB 3.0 models.

Software for HDD docking station

Hi!
I have Rosewill USB 3.0 hdd docking station and Macbook Pro 2012.

I want to create a backup of my current HDD or create an image of the drive. Next, I want to transfer the drive image to the empty SSD.
Do I need any software to clone my HDD from Macbook Pro?
What soft would you recommend?

You can just use Disk Utility. I, however, prefer Carbon Copy Cloner for cloning devices (and to be honest, the only reason I do prefer CCC is becasue it's fast and idiot-proof).
They have a 30-day free trial. Then you can decide whether to buy or not. I use it as one of my backup schemes so I bought it.

Hard drive getting full?
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

You have no choice but to restore the phone.
However, I'm sure you've been smart enough to have backed up your data before starting the most significant update in iOS history,right?

A few days ago I bought my first IMAC. I needed to download Mountain Lion, and I would get it for free as it's a new IMAC. Apple sent me a 'content code' - several times - because every time I enter it, it says the code is wrong.

Sorry to ask, but is it case sensitive?
Otherwise best to contact support and register a ticket: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

My iPad froze and it can't turn on. I've watched some youtube videos on how to restore my iPad. Occasionally, it worked on my friend's iPad, but not in mine. It can't restore because some sort of codes appear after I try to restore it. Help pls thank you

X201 with Docking station not able to connect to Samsung Monitor

When the Samsung (SyncMaster 2053BW) VGA connect directly to X201, the monitor works fine. When the Samsung VGA connect thru docking, Monitor is blank. Why?

hey alin0902,
hard to say why. have you tested the Samsung with another laptop that has a docking station ? does it work? or does it work only if the Samsung is connected directly into the other laptop ?
if it does not work with a different laptop that is docked, we suggest contacting Samsung for assistance.
if it does work, while being docked.. what you could do is to uninstall the current video driver of your X201. let windows install its own generic driver.
once done, dock the unit and try again.

Docking Station NOT Protecting Droid From Heat On Road Trips

I use my Droid as GPS on road trips and always use my docking station. On a recent 5 hour road trip in Florida my Droid lost GPS function because of the heat. The holding unit on the Docking station exposes the Droid to the heat coming through the windshield. Any news on a redesign of the docking station to address heat concerns for thee DROID.

Not sure if you want to spend more money, but there is a really nice "dock" that actually connects to the air Vent - thereby keeping the DROID X very very cool while running GPS. It is called the "GOMADIC" and can be found on Amazon.com ...After much consideration and looking at various DOCKS, I chose that one - and recently drove 9 hours with GPS on the entire time, navaigation, email, pandora ... not 1 single reboot due to heat.
Let me know if you can't find the product.

Sony clock-radio docking station not compitable after 2.2.1 upgarde

After upgrading both my iPhones to 2.2.1, my Sony clock-radio docking station (icf-c1ipmk2)does not work with the iPhone anymore. The unit is made for iPhone and worked without any issues until the 2.2.1 upgrade.
Now every time I place the iPhone in the docking station, I get the following message on the iPhone:
"This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."
With the option to start in Airplane mode.
Is anyone else having the same issue? Is there any solution to this?

Just FYI i have the next generation of Sony clock Radio ICF-CD3i(the round one with the pop out dock) and guess what "This accessorie not campatible with iPhone" though i can quite past the warning message then it works fine. The interesting part is i tried it out on another one at the shop at time of purchase and it worked fine. So long and short going to return it get another one see if that works. Just seems like Sony (Love there products not bagging them)need to put more work into working out the compatibility from their end

T400 Docking station not a secure lock down.

There is a rash of theft currently where I work. It seems that the docking station will release a laptop even though it is locked down. I am wondering if the cable lock should attach to the laptop instead of the docking station. That will be a pain to do with as many meetings that we go to.
Has anyone else seen this problem or know of a better solution? Is there a known problem with a mechanical issue with the dock station? Other then the obvious of installing cameras.

If security is a concern, I would lock the laptop instead of the docking station. From what I understand, when you lock a docking station, it prevents the mechanical arms on the pad from allowing the laptop to be removed; however, these mechanical arms (plus the docking station locking mechanism) provide nowhere near the security that a Kensington-style lock does. For maximum protection, I would recommend locking BOTH the docking station and the laptop with a flat key or combination computer lock (dual/twin-headed locks are available). A final note - a thief will probably be much more reluctant to rip out the lock from the computer than the docking station.

Gojo docking station not supported anymore

I owned a goji docking stations for 4 months with no problems, but the other day every time i plug in my iphone5 or my wife it keep saying that is not supported and he won't work or charge.

Try cleaning out the charging port of your iPhone.

EN488AA docking station - not charging

Hi all, this is my first post on this forum (i dont work for HP) so be nice
We have had a few docking stations (EN488AA) which have stopped charging the laptop's when they are docked. As an electronics engineer my interest was tweaked and I had to take a look.
The cause of the problem turned out to be a burnt out track on the pcb, which was easily repaired by soldering a small link between the 2 adjacent solder pads. See photo below.
If they are out of warranty its well worth letting someone handy with a soldering iron taking a look, the only tricky bit is getting the little connector plugs for the power switch and release button LED's in and out (you can do it with a pair of long tweezers).

Thanks for your input on this charging problem. Your picture of the connection helps. My PCB has a fine wire connected to where you indicate a blown out connection. I still don't get a charge when I use the docking station. Did you find any other areas to look?

Docking station not controlling iPod Nano 6th gen.

I have an iPod Nano 6th generation. When this is connected to my Teac iTB400 docking tower, not all of the remote functions will work.
Pause / Play and Stop are OK but the Up / Down / Left / Right buttons don't function.
What is the cure for this problem?
Regards
_Keith_

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Just about tearing the hair out as nothing seems to work. Followed the apple suggested steps, uninstalled itunes - pc recognises nano as a drive, reformatted drive using defaults, reinstalled itunes plugged in nano - it fires up itunes and looks like it is syncing but does not appear in the toolbar.
Then I used msconfig to restart with all but apple software - this time plugged in nano on different usb port, itunes recognised nano for as long as it took to name the ipod in the first screen then it froze.
Brand new nano - feel like taking a hammer to it - or the pc.
Gonna try another pc today, will keep posting.
Anybody else had any luck?
Cheers.
