Yes. The CCK does work with SD cards or a USB cable (coming from a camera). This is the easiest and best option if it would work for you. Or, you can try a 4GB or smaller flash drive and follow the instructions the other have posted here for renaming those files. Or, finally, you can try a powered USB hub. All of this will work only for photo or videos you've taken. Not for any other kind of file.
The best way to transfer files around is probably Dropbox or a similar service of cloud storage. You can get 2 GB free. www.dropbox.com

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

Can I use a USB flash drive to transfer iTunes?

so I found this link: http://support.apple.come/kb/HT4527 and it talks about transferring iTunes from a PC to a Mac using an external hard drive. I am kind of computer illiterate so am I able to use a USB flash drive or do I actually have to buy an external hard drive? I have been trying to transfer my songs for a week now so I am getting kind of frustrated lol.
Thanks!

If i use a usb flash drive which is both os and windows compatible can i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc using the same usb flash drive?

if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.

Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it. In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT). In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows. But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip.

Connect a usb flash drive to an ipad?

How can you connect a USB Flash Drive to an ipad?
I like to watch my photo's and documents everywhere, I have a lot of them so I must use a USB Flash Drive but I don't know how to connect it to my iPad.
Help my please,
thanks

The iPad is not meant to have to use a flash drive. It syncs information while plugged into your computer through iTunes. You can sync Movies, Documents, Photos, Music and more.
There is a attachment called the Camera Connection Kit that comes with an SD card reader and a USB plug but it's only meant for importing pictures and using devices such as a USB keyboard and USB headsets.

HP Mini 110-3520ca constantly restarts when trying to restore from usb flash drive

Hi,
I have a HP Mini 110-3520ca that I upgraded to Windows 8, but was having issues with freeze ups and shut downs so I decided to go back to Windows 7 Starter. When I tried to restore to factory default the files were corrupted and I couldn't restore from the recovery hard drive or my external back up files. I ordered the recovery USB flash drive from HP and tried to restore from it. It completes the Recovery Preparation and the Software Installation finishes, Windows starts to load, but Ithen it goes back to welcome to Recovery Manager. When I try to start Windows without the flash drive I get an error log that is below. Can someone tell me how to fix this or what needs to be done to get my Windows working again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Carol.

Hi @Savvy58
I did some further looking into that Error Log you posted. Basically, it means that is looking for a certain location that doesn't seem to be there. This could be a problem with the USB Recovery drive that you have. I would recommend that you contact HP. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

Using bootable USB flash drive to partition internal HDD

I just got my B5400 with Windows 8 x64 and UEFI. I found out that you can't lower the size of the hard drive by a lot. I want to split my HDD into 250GB and 666GB, one for the OS and one for data obviously. Therefore I tried the tool windows offered me but it said that I couldn't make a smaller drive because system relevant data are working at the moment.
So after searching the web I found out, that I have to use a bootable USB flash drive with something like Gparted running, to partition the HDD without any errors. I formatted my USB drive to FAT32 and made it a bootable stick with a program offered on the official website of gparted. I eagerly wanted to use it and plugged it in. Still booting into Windows. So I went into UEFI and checked the settings. I disabled secure boot mode and made it that legacy comes first. Then I chose 'USB HDD flash drive' in the boot manager and exited saving changes. I started my laptop and hit enter to et to the boot manager, made sure to select my USB drive and then confirmed it. It booted into Windows. I don't even understand why it is that way. It is like everything is set up correctly, but still it's trolling me.
I would appreciate any help greatly. And to make clear, I don't want to burn a CD or DVD, I want it to be working with a USB drive.

Hello,
search the web for "yummi bootmanager", it's free and easy to use.
If you got OKR (OneKeyRecovery) on your device, it will not longer work with resized parititions.

Can you tell me how to use a USB Flash Drive

Not familiar with USB flash drive. Anyone tell me how it operates?

...but don't expect even close to the access speeds you would get with a hard drive! That's fine of course since you should use it for example, as an emergency boot drive, or transporting stuff to and from other locations, or backups for selected stuff.

[Help] How to wireless transfer data to an USB flash drive from an iPad mini 2

Hi.
I want to use my iPad for my exams, but I'm not allowed to use the internet to send my files under the exams, so I need an alternative way to do it. I want to copy pages, numbers and keynote files to a wireless USB flash drive when I'm done. Do you know a product that can do it, that is also available in the Amazon UK?
Thanks.

Hi Loner,
Thanks for the reply.
I have located the program and will give it a try.
Cheers.

USB flash drive security on mac and windows

Hi
I've got an USB flash drive and I would like to secure it so that data on it will not be accessible unless a password is provided.
The point is that I need to use it on both my macbook with tiger OS and on another PC with windows XP.
The USB flash drive is a sandisk cruzer titanium that comes with U3. Originally I was using an U3 protection that asks for a password when the flash drive is plugged in.
U3 is not supported by MAC so I had to disable the password protection to use it on my brand new macbook.
Appreciate any help
Thanks, Ste
macbook c2d Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You will be able to open it if you make it a .iso
image. There is software available for both OSes to
open and browse/modify a .iso image file. I do not
know how well any of them use passwords for the
images.
Maybe it's winiso
What I would recommend is using Winrar
(http://www.rarlabs.com/) and just using a compresses
and encrypted file that both OS's can manipulate.
With winrar you create an archive and then each time you want to edit a file you have to extract it, modify it and then reinsert it in the archive.
What I was looking for is something more user friendly.
Images created with mac, protected with a password, are ok but are not compatible with windows.
Viceversa, U3 is compatible with windows but not mac ...

Errors in dmesg when trying to format a usb flash drive

I'm trying to format it using `mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdb1`, the progress freezes after some seconds and dmesg starts to print a bunch of errors. Aparently at a certain point the device gets removed from the system (not listed in /dev anymore).
Here is dmesg log from the point where I plug the flash drive and start the command up to when /dev/sdb disappears:
http://pastie.org/9932469
I tried this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=149384 but it didn't help.

File formats aren't compatible based on filesystem. It's just data to the filesystem. Compatibility is at the application level, which is where the files are opened and read. Any file can be put onto any drive, assuming it is within the filesystems limitations (i.e. FAT32's 4GB size limit).

Using a USB Flash Drive

I am having a problem with my email and have been advised from Apples telephone support to erase and reinstall from disc as they could not resolve it.
I have some files,letters and some films I do not want to lose and was told that I should transfer these to a Flash Drive which can then put them back on my hard drive after re-installing Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
Could someone please tell me how this is done and whether you transfer individual items within folders that you want from the "Home" section in "Finder", or do you transfer the whole folder.
I believe this is done by dragging things around?, but how I am not sure.
Please be aware that I am a novice and need things spelling out.

How do you open 2 Finder windows together?
With one Finder window open click Command N and that will create a second Finder window. You can have as many Finder windows open as you can personally manage. When you have 2 open if they are identical in size one may overlay the other so you can't see the one on the bottom. That is easily fixed by making the top window smaller. How you resize a window is by clicking the 3 diagonal bars in the lower right of the window and dragging to get the size you want.
BTW you have Time Machine it's built into Snow Leopard. What you may not have is an external HD to use Time Machine With. I would recommend you get one that has about 2-3x the size of your internal HD if possible. The link I provided for Time Machine will take you to a short TM tutorial.

USB Flash Drive Compatibility between Mac and PC?

Hi,
I own an iMac 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and just got a new job where I'm using a PC. At work they all use flash drives to transfer data back and forth to computers etc. Would a flash drive (let's say a Kensington since that's the brand I've seen the most at work) that works in a PC at work be compatible with my iMac at home. I know Kensington makes them compatible for Mac and PC but just wondering how the data would transfer onto my Mac. Is it readable, does it depend what I'm transferring over?

{quote} guy there said they haven't yet perfected the flash drives to switch between Mac and PC and work well so I was a little surprised at this. {quote}
That is pretty much a standard reply you get from someone that doesn't know anything about macs. I've used those things for years without any problems, but I have been using my ipod as a disk lately because I always have it with me. It's also another less thing I have to buy and carry around.
