Tangerine Clamshell without firewire doesn't recognize 16 Gb flash drive

My Tangerine clamshell without firewire recognizes a USB 4GB flashdrive but not a 16 GB flash drive. I tested the 16 GB flash drive on my Imac G3 graphite desktop. The Graphite recognized the 16 Gb so I know it isn't the drive. What should I do? I am running out of space on the 4GB drive.

That is a good question that I didn't think of...The system on my graphite G3 desktop is Tiger so it is different. I didn't know certain USB hubs only went with certain operating systems. My 4 Gb SanDisk works on both Windows XP and Panther systems.

Hi,
Here's one option you could try as it will give a good indication whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware issue with the optical drive itself.
Create a bootable Ubuntu CD
The Ubuntu CD you create should run as you boot the notebook ( ie outside of Windows operating system ), so if this will not run, the problem is almost certainly a Hardware issue with the DVD drive
On another PC, follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD. The 'try it' option does not need to install on the Hard Drive, it just runs from the CD.

Let me know if this will run.
Regards,

My computer doesn't recognize my CD/DVD drive

I am trying to install software for the camera I gave my husband for Christmas. On Friday I did install the software for the camera he gave me. I'm the only user of this computer and have done nothing unusual or different on it but for some reason it doesn't recognize that drive and I don't know how to overcome the problem. I've rebooted several times but that hasn't helped.
Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this problem. Please keep it as simple as possible as I don't understand computer terminology at all.
I'm desperate and don't want to have to take it anywhere to have it fixed.
Thanks. Linda43
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can probably fix it this way, Linda.

Flash Builder doesn't recognize instances from Flash CS.

I've currently started working with Flash CS 5.5 and I use Flash Builder 4.6 to work with AS3 files.
A problem arrised when I try to access an instance of a symbol placed on the stage or inside of another symbol.
Flash Builder doesn't recognize the existance of said instance and shows this as an error. (The code compiles fine though.)
Is there any way of bringing instances placed using the Flash CS Editor to Flash Builder's attention?
(I've also noticed that even the code editor of Flash CS doesn't recognize these instances.)
Thanks in advance.

After I hit run the URL that is shown on Firefox is the last page that I was on, so in this case, 'this' pages url; therefore, has nothing to do with what I'm trying to run. So in this case it would be "http://forums.adobe.com/post!reply.jspa?message=3625965"
Now as for which version:
Flash Player version: MAC 10,2,153,1 debugger version
Mac OS: 10.6.7
Update: Alright, it seems to have been some Firefox bug. I upgraded to Firefox 4.x on a haunch and somehow it must of reset whatever that was causing the problem and it now works as nornal. Thanks for the help though, appreciated.

2008 iMac running OS 10.7.5 doesn't recognize 2 LaCie external drives.

I recently upgraded my iMac's OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now it won't recognize 2 external hard drives. The 4T LaCie is plugged in to a USB port on the mac.
The 5T LaCie is plugged in to a USB port in a 'Pluggable" USB 2.0 10-port powered hub. What could be the problem?

My MacbookPro will not recognize when a flash drive is put into the USB port. It does not show in finder at all.

I put a HP flash drive into a USB port and it never shows in finder under devices. I want to copy photos to it to load onto a electronic picture frame. Why doesn't the flash drive show in finder?

First, open up the Apple System Profiler by choosing Apple Menu > About This Mac, and then click More Info.
then select USB off the hardware list. If your flash drive is connected to the system, it will appear here. If it does not appear, there is a problem with either the port or the drive.
If the flash drive shows up in the system profiler, the problem is in your Finder preferences. Finder prefs (⌘+comma) allow you to designate what shows up on the desktop and Finder sidebar.

MacBook Pro Doesn't Even Notice USB Flash Drive

I want to get this USB Flash Drive I have to work. It's a Memorex Mini TravelDrive 2GB. It works perfectly fine on a PC, but doesn't do anything on a Mac. I tried formatting it a couple different ways, nothing. It doesn't show up in the Disk Utility. It's like you plug it in and it acts like nothing is there. If I go to about and click System Report, nothing is listed under that USB port, whereas the other port shows my Logitech USB Mouse reciever, like it should. The other one is just blank. Like when there is nothing plugged in. And I tried both USB ports. I just don't get it. I really need to get this thing working. I mean it says it works on Mac, and I don't see why it wouldn't.

Ooops! It would appear that the purportedly v.2-compatible USBv.3 port isn't quite so. Or the flash dongle tethers on the wrong edge of the specs and is disliked by your pride & joy. Sad day.

Disk utility doesn't let me erase flash drive

Hello Everyone!
Today I have encountered a very annoying problem. So I put my flash drive into my computer and it worked fine. But in the permissions it said I can read only. I knew what to do - I went to Disk utility. I expected to be able to just erase the drive but no. It wasn't letting me. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Some flash drives have a failure mode in which they are irreversibly write-locked by the internal controller when it detects a write error. If the drive doesn't have a write-lock switch (most do not) and you can't erase it in Disk Utility, that's almost certainly what has happened. To be sure, test it with another computer, if possible.

Imac doesn't recognize my external hard drive--all of a sudden

i've been using a LaCie external hard drive as my timemachine back up for several years without incident. a few days ago i unplugged the lacie and when i plugged it back in, imac could no longer recognize it. when i go to time machine and try to"select disc" it tells me there is none to select. when i go to system prefs disc utility i can see the lacie icon in the left column, but when i click on it i just get the spinning beachball forever, and have to force quit. any thoughts?

Your HD might be corrupted, try going to spotlight, look up "Disk Utility" select your external and verify disk, there might be some errors on the disk, if so, then click repair disk, try that and get back to us.

IMAC doesn't recognize lacie external hard drive

Friends,
I have an imac 2013 3TB fusion drive running Mavericks. I have a lacie external quadra drive USB 3.0. When I turn on the drive, the computer does not recognize it. However, if I restart the computer, it then will recognize the drive. Why is this? Is there a preference or something I can change?
Thanks!
Steve

My Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my external hard drive

I had my external HD attached to my MBpro when I attempted to empty trash. The trash window showed it emptying thousand upon thousands of files (way more than was in the bin) and had a negative sign in front of the number of items being deleted. I canceled the emptying, but now the computer won't recognize the HD. It appears in Disk utility but not in desktop or sidebar. What happened and how do I fix it?

In Disk Utility, try using the Mount button in the top menu.
Disconnect the external drive, turn it off, wait about 1 minute, reconnect, and turn it back on. While waiting, restart the computer.

MBP doesn't recognize my portable hard drive anymore

Hello!
To provide some background on my issue, my portable hard drive format was NTFS, and I wished for it to be FAT-32. I was trying to transfer some files over from my Windows computer to my Mac, however it wouldn't work due to the formatting. To change the formatting, I used some third-party software and started the conversion (without formatting the drive so that I could keep all my files) however mid way through the process, my stupid laptop entered sleep mode and stopped everything.
When I tried to re-plug the hard drive in my Mac, it didn't show up in the finder, but the Disk Utility did find it. The model I have is the iStorage DiskGenie portable hard drive.

That was a bad decision, you may have lost the data.
If you want to try to recover it you will need some data recovery software, and you need to stop using the drive at once. Don't use it until you have recovery software.
What 3rd party software did you use to mess your drive up, maybe a warning to others?

MacBook Air doesn't recognize its own hard drive.

Hey, so I have a MacBook Air that I purchased in 2012 and last night, I was going to download the new update for my iPhone, but before I did, iTunes mentioned something about transferring new purchases. The only thing close enough to consider as such were two new apps I downloaded for free. However, after I synced my iPhone and was about to start the update, it froze. So I restarted it and when I did a blank screen with a flashing question mark showed up. It did that foray hour or two and then I got to the Mac OS X Utilities screen with the four options to restore my computer. I couldn't use any of these though because my computer didn't recognize its hard drive. Planning to take it in for help but would love to hear any suggestions. Thanks!

It sounds like your SSD (Solid State Drive) has failed, mine did the same thing two weeks ago. There has been a problem with the 2012 MBA SSDs and many people have the same issue. If you take it to Apple, they should be able to sort it out.

Computer Doesn't Recognize Ipod as a Drive

The iPod touch cannot be enabled as a disk drive and viewed on the desktop.

Time Machine doesn't recognize my external hard drive

My external hard drive is no longer recognized by my iMac. I have had this problem before and had to repartition the drive. There is not a drive that is available when I go into Time Machine preferences. Any ideas?

If you completely repartitioned the external hard drive, you may need to Erase & Reformat each Partition on the drive now in order for them to be recognized. You can do that in Disk Utility.
