When is Apple will make a Micro USB Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones ???

IIt's really a big help if Apple make their own Micro USB a Flash Drive for iPads and iPhones.

Apple would not tell people there are other brands on the market. It is my opinion that if Apple users keep asking for the USB for ipads, they might consider it. As for the iphone there MIGHT be a tiny slot inside where the battery is for an SD card, which expands the space. I know Android has that feature in their cell phones, but not sure about Apple.

Formatting a USB flash drive for Mac OS X Leopard & Windows XP

I'm pretty new to Mac, so forgive me if this seems a very basic question.
How do I format a USB flash drive so that it can be seen by both an Imac running Mac OS X Leopard and a PC running Windows XP?
If one or other machine can't see the drive it makes transferring files really frustrating.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can either use Windows or OSx to format the flash drive to FAT32. This will allow you to read and write from OSx and Windows. If you just bought the flash drive then double check before you format as it may already be formatted to FAT32.
Use Disk Utility from OSx to format your flash drive OR from windows, click on *My Computer* and then highlight the drive letter and choose File from the top menu and then Format.

Creating Recovery Media using USB Flash Drive for Windows 8.1

I followed all the instructions to create a USB Flash Drive Recovery Media (insert 16 GB USB Flash Drive or >) and it said it will be created now (after I clicked on Create), however the next screen said to insert > 7.5 GB flash drive, then it said it was cancelled. I was attempting to use a San Disk Flash Drive and I am wondering if it is because it has some time of application on it. I was under the understanding that it would just "delete/erase" this (format it) and then create it, but it wouldn't. Any suggestions?

In Windows 8, one can create a "recovery drive" (called a System Repair Disc in Windows 7) that does not contain the recovery partition. (When you install Windows 8 yourself, there is no recovery partition.) It contains just the recovery environment.

Exporting to USB flash drive for use in digital picture frame

With the recent popularity of digital picture frames, has anyone else run into this problem......
I purchased digital picture frames to give as gifts this year, wanting to give them "pre-loaded" with photos. So i copied a bunch of pics from iphoto ( some i had edited, some not) onto a small 1GB flash drive. after ejecting the flash drive properly, i inserted it into the digital picture frame (kodak DPF800) and the slideshow starts as it should ...but then "freezes" midway through. repeatedly. and not always on the same picture.
After several calls to the kodak tech support line, i finally had someone tell me that the frame will only read raw jpeg files.
what does this mean? all the files in the flashdrive show as .jpeg.
am i doing something wrong?
any guidance would be appreciated.

This is often caused by a file permissions issue on the photo. Download BatchMod from

And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

How to detect USB Flash Drive name in LabVIEW

Hi there
I was looking for how to detect a USB Flash Drive name in Labview
appearently every time i insert USB Flash Drive in a computer, windows assign it a different name
once "J:" and sometimes "M:"
Is there anyway to obtain USB Flash Drive name programmatically in Labview ?
Because in my program an user shouldn't be able to access HDD Drives except his USB Flash Drive (for inserting some file ...)
thank you and excuse me for my poor english

I was able to get the demo.vi to load, but it could not load the other two because there is no block diagram associated with those. I'm not sure why this is. I haven't had any issues with other llbs before.

Does Time Machine back up USB Flash Drive?

I have a 128GB USB Flash Drive. The contents of this flash drive was restored from a previous external SSD (used as storage and has died on me).
Now I would like my Time Machine to backup both my MacAir and my USB Flash Drive.
My First Concern is
So when I plug in my USB Flash Drive, it appears in the Exclude List.
However, after I remove the USB Flash Drive from the exclude list and click on Save.
I start to Back Up using Time Machine.
Does it mean that time machine will back up my USB Flash Drive for this One Time?
Because when I open up the Time Machine preference, the USB Flash Drive re-appears in the Exclude List again.
Second Concern
When I open the HDD I use for Time Machine, I noticed that the latest backup consist of both my MacAir
and the name of my Previous External SSD (instead of my current USB Flash Drive).
I am wondering if Time Machine recognise my current USB Flash Drive as my previous external SSD
since I restored my contents from there.
So is my USB Flash Drive really backed up (just that Time Machine recognise it as my previous external SSD)?
Hope someone can share their experience and advice on this.
(Please do not recommend other app like Carbon Copy Cloner, as I already plan to use the CCC Trial.)
Thank you to all.

What is the format of the volume on the flash drive? It's shown in the Finder Info window.

Copying files from iMac to USB flash drives

I am having problems copying files from my iMac computer to USB flash drives. Sometimes, I get the error message: "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (Error Code -50)."
How can I solve this problem?
This error message does not happen everytime but rather occasionally. Most of the files I am trying to copy to my USB flash drives are MS Word documents. I have tried using various brands of flash drive, but I still get this error message.
I use my USB flash drives for both Mac and Windows OS computers. For my 2GB Kingston Data Traveller flash drive, I checked its product datasheet on the Kingston website, and it says that it is compatible with both Macintosh and Windows OS, and that I can use it for cross-platform PC/Mac file transfers.
I also checked the Properties tab for this flash drive, and the File System for the drive is listed as "FAT."

Hello Stedman:
I am pretty sure that these files were not open in MS Word when I tried to copy them.
I only get this error message/code for a handful of MS Word documents; the rest of my MS Word documents were copied successfully to my USB flash drive.

X220 "Create Recovery Media" on USB flash drive

Is it required to first create an Active Partition on the USB flash drive, within Windows 7, before creating "Factory Recovery Disks" on a USB flash drive - FOR THE X220?
I've carefully looked at the X220 User Guide and it makes no mention of it. Yet, I came across a web page on this site explaining how to create an active partition prior to making recovery media. However, it does NOT reference the X220 as an affected computer and I wonder if the active partition happens automatically on the X220.

http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Making-a-usb-stick-with-the-Lenovo-recovery-pa...
Here's the best thread I can find on the subject. You're still going to have to make the partition active. The x220 doesn't have anything extra in it to automatically make it active. That thread has some good links in it with pretty good instructions. I know the x220 isn't listed as an affected system but I think that the support site just hasn't been updated yet.

USB/Flash support for Mountain Lion

What App is availiable on app store as USB support for mountain lion? There was one 'USBmate'. Is it okay? If not please tell me how to get the USB support. I have downoaded installation of ML but have not installed it because backups have to be on external HDD. Please help me.

I don't know to what you are referring. I think you mean a bootable USB flash drive for installing OS X. If so, then know there is no such thing for Mountain Lion. There was for Lion, but it is no longer available. Apple never included any installer disc for computers with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed.
Reinstalling Lion or Mountain Lion is done through the Internet Recovery - OS X (Lion/Mountain Lion)- About OS X Recovery.
If you download Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store you can save the installer application and make a bootable installer from it:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

Hi,
You need to buy a 32Gb thumb stick. Yo need around 24Gb but I don't think you can buy 24Gb stick on the market today. 2Gb is too small.

Is there no way to use the iPod Touch as a USB Flash drive?

All pervious versions of the iPod have had a checkbox option under Info for "Enable use as disk" which lets you transfer files to and from the iPod as if it were a USB Flash drive for general purpose storage. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131
This option is not available for iPod Touch. Does anyone know if Apple mentioned why? Does the iPhone support this option?
Apple seemed very concerned about taking applications away to distinguish the iPod Touch from the iPhone, this would be an example of a feature I think they should have included in the Touch regardless of its availability in the iPhone, I hope they change this in the future.

Does the iPhone support this option?
Not via Apple, but someone else has produced a way:

USB flash drive disappears when transferring or installing files from it

Hello,
Have a 1GB usb flash drive that works without incident on IBM and Dell laptops, however when trying to install or transfer files onto this HP Pavilion DV7 - Win 7 64bit laptop it will appear in Win Explorer for a few minutes and then disappear. When installing or transfering files things will be going as expected and then suddenly the light on the drive goes off and the laptop responds with "file cannot be found". When I open Win Explorer it shows the "F\:" drive but it appears to be empty.
I was able to get the software on the drive installed but I had to keep removing and reinserting the USB drive to get it to recognize it and then clicking on "Retry" on the "file cannot be found" error message.
I was intending on using a USB flash drive for a backup drive but not if this keeps happening.
I googled this issue, downloaded a supposed fix from MS to no avail. I've flashed the bios with the most recent version from the HP site here and also turned off power management of the USB ports in device manager.
Any other ideas?!?
Product number of the laptop is VM238UA

I also purchased an HP Pavilion dv7-3165dx recently and have had the exact same problem with a 16GB kingston datatraveler usb drive.
I've tried the "temporary workaround" on the MS website as well as their "quickfix", but nothing worked. Anyway, last summer I attended -- of all places -- a SIGGRAPH (signature graphics) conference in New Orleans and got a few freebies. One of them was a usb hub for 4 flash drives that plugged into a single usb port on my laptop.
Anyway, whenever I plug it in it gives me a message that says something about my flash drive being able to operate faster if I don't use this hub... BUT when I use the hub -- which obviously slows down data transfers too and from my flash drive -- I can transfer MUCH more data (several hundred MB's) before it quits on me!
I know there must be a better solution, but this works for me. If you can get your hands on a hub, it might work... good luck.

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album on USB flash drive. What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. Is this possible with Keynote ?

Hi - Re Keynote I'm trying to figure out how to create a music album (as an artist) on USB flash drive, (accessible by both Mac and PC). What I want is a background picture with 'click-buttons' to play each track listed, and play in order (like a cd) - also similar for embedded videos and photos etc. This should all be on the one page.
Is this possible with Keynote, or any other software package for Mac (am using Macbook Pro) ?

Hi there,
Yikes, it sounds like you've been doing a lot of work on this project... Unfortunately, however, this isn't the Adobe Encore forum, but the Acrobat.com forum. While it seems like an exciting question, we're not able to address issues pertaining to other Adobe products and services. Here's a link to the Adobe Encore forum, where you're more likely to get help for this specific issue:
