USB Drive only working on windows

I got a new usb drive the other day, and its only readble and writable on windows. It can even be formatted on windows as well.
when I insert it into my mac it tells me to initialize.
Everytime i try to format it in disk utility i get this error message;
"Disk Erase failed with the error:
Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed."
any solutions? I need this usb drive and don't have the time or the money to buy a new one at this moment in time.

What is the size of the USB HDD...?
Is this a Powered HDD or self powered HDD...?
Please check this link for the compatible USB HDD for WRT610N.
Its a Maxtor OneTouch II, 189GB powered hard drive. Looks like it is not compatible as seen from the list provided in that link.
Seriously? Are those the only disks compatible? That's a pretty small list :-(

How do I set up my USB drive to work on airport

How do I set up my USB drive to work on airport

First be sure that your external USB HDD is formatted in either HFS+ or FAT32 as these will be the only two disk formats that the Extreme can share out to network clients.
Once you verified the format, you just need to connect the HDD to the USB port on the Extreme. Finally you would use the AirPort Utility to enable the HDD for sharing.
For AirPort Utility v6.x: Start the utility > Select your AirPort Extreme > Select Edit > Select the Disks tab. Verify that the utility correctly identifies your HDD. Then select (check) the "Enable file sharing" option, and then, select Update. After the base station updates, you should be able to "see" the shared HDD in Finder on your MacBook Pro.

USB drive only seen in daisy chained port

Hi, I have a 16 gig USB drive that works fine on my (Windows XP) work PC and it used to work fine on my MacBook in both Windows XP and Mac OS X. Since today, though, it has started behaving very badly on the MacBook in both OS's - if I plug it in directly to any port on the side of the laptop I can sometimes get it to mount, but not every time, but I can't copy files from it and it refuses to eject in OS X. However, if I plug it into a USB port chained from the Apple keyboard then it works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I need the USB drive for off-site work next week and would prefer not to have to fit the extra keyboard into the laptop bag!

I've posted this in the wrong place, gah. I think it should probably be in the MacBook forum but don't know if I can move it...

Left USB port only works when entering BIOS

Hi all -- I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5106, the LEFT USB port only works when I enter the BIOS at boot-time. If I disconnect the drive, i.e. eject it and then remove it, the port stops working. The other two ports at the right work fine. I've tested this with known good flash drives and Kensington USB trackball that work fine on four other computers, and the other two USB ports. I'm thinking its software/BIOS because hardware would fail intermittently, I could not get the port to work if there was a failing connection. As stated, this work-around succeeds EVERY time. I have not upgraded the bios. Has anyone had this problem?

Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode".

Since I upgraded Windows Vista to Windows 7 iTunes only works in Windows 7 "Safe Mode". it will not run in the normal mode. (It ran properly in Vista) I spent several hours with the Microsoft Technician going through the "1717 suggestions, but to no avail. On my own, I tried iTunes in Windows 7 "Safe Mode" and was successful! It ran like a charm. Unfortunately, I can't run iTunes properly in "Safe Mode" I have not tried moving one set of the files yet. But if iTunes works in Safe Mode, do I need to relocate anything or do I need to find what is causing the conflict between Windows 7 and iTunes?

Which Satellite A205?
Which Windows 7 (64-bit)? What about the other laptop?
Which printer model, version, and so forth?

My CD/DVD Drive Only Works When I Jam the CD/DVD in hard..?

My CD/DVD drive only works when I stuff the CD/DVD in the drive EXTRA hard. If I just try to put in with normal force (that at one time worked) it spins the disc around, makes a spinning noise, and then ejects it. I'm taking it to the Apple Store soon. What should I expect to be wrong and is it fixable? Please share details. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like the spring that loads the drive has gotten jammed by something. This can often happen if you use CDs with sticky labels, or do anything to label the discs directly. As a result of issues like these, I've not labeled any discs directly, and instead store the in jewelcases, and purchase them prepackaged in jewelcases to avoid such issues.

I've just updated OS to 10.10.1 and Finder keeps trying to open and then closes every 2 seconds with the message Finder is not Available. If Safari is opened full window it immediately closes and will only work with window smaller than maximum.

HP deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7

This procedure is much too complicated for an average user. You know that millions of Wondow XP users are switching to Windows 7. I' sure that most of them are facing similar problems. HP should come with a user friendly solution that solves the above issues. Don't you think?
My problem remains unsolved.

Hi dvh,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet D2300 series driver not working in windows 7.
Do you see any error messages with the installer? Or does it just close out and doesn't install?
In the meantime, please try using our HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope to hear back from you, and have a great day!

Why is my usb drive not working

Can the hard drive from the Time Capsule be used as USB drive only?

My Time Capsule "router" kept losing the wireless capabilty, so I purchased an Airport Express (with the dual-band router).
I'd like to salvage the Time Capsule hard-drive portion and connect it to a USB port.
But when I plug-in the Time Capsule, the light blinks yellow suggesting some configuration problem.
When connecting to a USB port, my iMac will not detect a new device.
Can the Time Capsule hard-drive be used separately from the router?

Can the hard drive from the Time Capsule be used as a USB drive only?
Sorry, but no. The Time Capsule is a network drive, so it must be connected to a network using an Ethernet or wireless connection. The USB port on the Time Capsule is there only to add additional storage capacity.
Can the Time Capsule hard-drive be used separately from the router
Yes, you would configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode to do this. If you do not need the wireless capability, you can turn the wireless off on the Time Capsule.

Help please-USB 2.0 drive only working at USB 1.1 speed (KT3 Ultra2-C, MS-6593)

Help! I have an MSI KT3 Ultra2-C, part no. MS-6593, running WinXP Home. According to the manual it has six USB 2.0 ports, but I can't get a USB 2.0 external hard drive working at USB 2.0 speed. The drive is currently connected using the "D-Bracket 2" which the manual says supports USB 2.0. In my BIOS all USB ports are set to enabled.
The drive was detected by Windows XP, but when it installed I got a warning that it is not connected to a full speed USB port. The drive is only transferring about one megabyte per second of data, which I'm guessing means it's running at USB 1.1. When I use Sisoft Sandra to look at my port information, it lists "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" and then three listings for "Via Rev 5 or Later USB Universal Host Controller". All of my USB devices including the new drive are shown mapped to the "Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller" so the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Controller" shows no devices connected. Even though all my USB ports are physically filled, they are all mapping to the "Via Rev 5" controller, which I think is a USB 1.1 controller. This makes me think if I can somehow force these devices onto the Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller, they will work at USB 2.0 speed? How can I make devices use the right USB 2.0 controller instead of the Via USB 1.1 Controller?
Windows Device Manager looks kind of strange, under USB Controllers it first lists the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller". Then it lists my USB cable modem, USB printer, and USB hard drive on the following lines. Then it has several lines that say "USB Root Hub". Then it has three lines that say "Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller".
Please help me get this external hard drive running at full speed...I'm stumped and thought this USB stuff was all plug and play, and expected my USB 2.0 drive to work on this USB 2.0 motherboard. Thanks for any responses.

Go Here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=357&kind=1 and download the Drivers and the Update. Then go into your device manager and click on the host controller of the USB devices and update driver, then select the drivers that you downloaded and restart your computer. once restarted go back into device manager and make sure that what was once "standard host" controller now shows "Enhanced USB 2.0" controller. Hope that helps.

Mac Pro - Reads USB Drive only in Windows

For the past couple weeks I have been sharing 'Word' documents on a USB drive using both Windows and Mac OS platforms. A couple days ago the Mac side of the computer stopped recognizing the USB drive. It does even show the drive on the desktop. I tried putting the drive in the other USP port. This didn't help. When I turn on the Windows side, using XP, the drive works fine.
Am I doing something wrong? Can I use the same USB drive to share files? Or, do I need try another way to share files between platforms?
If this doesn't work, I was thinking of putting my files on Google Documents and accessing almost everything via the Internet.

I recently had the reverse happen to me. I had a FAT formatted flash drive that I would frequently put into a device that needed non-Mac. I also used to use it a lot with Windows - Mac transfers. Plugged it into a Windows computer and it said it needed formatting. The only think I can think of is occasionally something gets written to the drive in a form that the other system can't handle. I'd copy off any files that are valuable then reformat the drive to FAT and see if it then works.

TI 1394 signed driver only works when driver signing enforcement disabled (Windows 8.1)

I have a Texas Instruments firewire card installed under Windows 8.1. It was working perfectly until recently and now I get a "code 10" in the device manager. It displays as a signed driver when I reinstall it so it should work fine.
However, if I do an advanced reboot with "Disable driver signature enforcement" the driver then seems to work correctly.
Is this a Windows 8.1 bug or a driver bug, and does this mean I have to do an advanced reboot every time I want to use my Motu 828mk3 audio device?
Regards,
CJ.
Can't see the Enabled flag for the... err Enabled flag

Hi,
I cannot find any information about this device in compatibility center, you should contact the device manufacturer to confirm if this driver is designed for Windows 8.1.
Although, we can do some additional analysis about your question.
We can try to go into the %Windir%\Inf folder, when third-party driver installed,
the .inf is renamed to Oemxx.inf (where xx is a sequential number) to make sure that there are no name conflicts with drivers that are included with the product and with other third-party drivers. You can check it one by one, find the right file to get
catalog file, it should be xxx.cat, when you get the catalog file name, you can search this file in windows folder.
To do those actions, is just to confirm if this driver is ok, double-click the .cat file | View Signature | View Certificate | Certification Path and note the highest certificate in the chain. If the result is Microsoft Root Authority,
we need check setupapi.dev.log, there might be some clue about this issue. You can upload it in forum.
