USB not mounting - Used on a windows, then a Mac, then not working anymore

Hello!
Yesterday a faculty member gave me a USB so I could transfer a few files to it for her. She uses Windows computers but I use a MacBook Pro. It worked fine on my MacBook and I transfered the files, then ejected. However, I noticed even after I ejected and pulled the USB drive out it said I did not eject properly (or something like that).
Today, she tells me that she cannot get it to open on her computer (Windows) that it wanted her to format it - which she did not do. I tried opening it up back on my computer and it does not mount.
An alert did pop up saying "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." OPTIONS: "Initialize, ignore, or Eject."
I click "Initialize..." and it shows this...
As you can see, the "8.03 GB JetFlash Transc.." is not giving me the option to Verify or Repair.
I have ran into a problem before where once I put the drive in my Mac, it wasn't usable for Windows again - but I could still use it on my Mac. But this is different, it does not seem to work on either platforms.
I would be MOST appreciative for any help you may provide.
Thanks!
James

Actually, I didn't find the FMLE forum until after I posted here. I realized that all the Flash pieces were under "Flash." Doh!!
Thanks.

    My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

    What kind of Mac to you have?  This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire.  If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
    ETA:  Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go.  You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

    If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):

    Hi Hardy Tasso,
    Are you seeing this problem since first launch of PSE13 after installation or recently?
    Please try:
    Keep Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys pressed while launching PSE13 Editor and click OK on the dialog that comes next.

  • Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

    Till my last software update on my MacBook Air I have been able to use my iPhone as a modem via USB. Now it's not working anymore. Other functions via USB are still fine. Any ideas???

    The Mac was recently upgraded so it is the Mac, or is it?
    Looking for a common denominator:  I'l start with wi-fi as the common communication medium.
    Known:
    A) Broken: iPhone —> wi-fi —> Mac.
    B) Broken: iPhone —>USB—> Mac.
    C) Broken: iPhone —> Bluetooth —> Mac.
    D) Working: Mac —> USB —> other USB devices.
    Unknowns:
    E) Test Mac —> wi-fi —> a non-iPhone router.
    F) Test iPhone —> wi-fi —> another wi-fi device.
    Given not A, not B and not C either the Mac or the iPhone could be the culprit.
    1) E        |  F        : Non sequitur (deepens the mystery).
    2) not E  |  F        : The Mac is the common denominator.
    3) E        |  not F  : The iPhone is the common denominator.
    4) not E  |  not F  : All heck broke loose.
    For case 1:  It would be something on the Mac that prevents it talking to the iPhone through three media even though it can talk to other routers over wi-fi.  That would be weird indeed, given the iPhone is talking to other wi-fi devices with no trouble. 
    For case 2:  All of the Mac’s intranet media broken (wi-fi, Bluetooth, and wired-USB) and at least wi-fi works on the iPhone.  Something weird is going on in the Mac.
    For case 3:  The iPhone router function is broken.  Upgrade the iOS?  Test using another iPhone?
    For case 4:  Throw everything in the trash and start over.

  • Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
    Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    or my usual solution for Windows Users.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck!

  • I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

    I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • Bluetooth AND USB not working

    Hi friends i'm facing 2 problems1. my bluetooth is not working properly, initially it wont show any blutooth icon when i start up, but after i restart it shows and start working, every time i need to repeat this to use bluetooth. kindly suggest me the solution.2. the usb ports (3.0 and2.0) both doesnt work properly, they only detect devices wen i go to device manager and scan for hardware devices.

     I was also worried that bluetooth is not working. But eventually came to know that  this model 15R203TX has bluetooth version 4.0  which is backward compatible to other bluetooth devices of version 2.0 to 2.1 EDR. Means if your hand set or any bluetooth device is having  version 2.0 or 2.1 EDR it won't able to send any data or see this laptop model while transferring data. Moreover if you try to send data from laptop to other bluetooth device irrespective of version it is able to send data. Now it is Same with WiFi  this model is backward compatible to IEEE 802.11 a/b/g. means  you can't receive signals from this devices unless the router is having IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac. For USB not working may be its a BIOS issue. While boot up try to press F2 key. And enter the diagonistic blue page. There you can check the version of BIOS or try to reinstall the updated BIOS by downloading it from HP support. If  USB still not woking then try to go to nearest authorised HP service centre.

    Hi all, in answer to the above suggestions:
    No the 10g database and listener is completely down (no services belonging to the new 10g database are running). I checked also alle the logs, but no messages anymore since saturday.
    What I did notice: Oracle92HTTPserver (a service normally started automatically) does not start. When I start it, it gives me a message that there is nothing to do and that the service therefore is not started. So the HTTP-server itself is not working anymore. I can't find any files changed by th installation in the Ora92 home Apache directories. All seems as it was before the installation And still it won't start....
    Does anybody have other suggestions? Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jan.

  • I bought Hp 15 g207ax, 2 out of 3 usb not working, and all drivers missing, no ethernet or no wifi

    i bought a new Hp 15 G207AX.
    issue 1 - 2 out of 3 usb not working, 1 usb 3.0 and 1 usb2.0 not working. 1 usb 2.0 is working properly
    question 1- is it because of faulty laptop or driver issue? also, if it is driver issue, then why 1 usb 2.0 is working?
    issue 2 - All Drivers are missing.
    question 2 - where can i find all the drivers?
    issue 3 - no ethernet and no wifi connecting
    question 3 - is there a driver for ethernet too? can you tell me what drivers i need to install for ethernet or wifi. because without those, i cant do anything?
    looking for your immediate reply. as if in 1st question, if usb ports are defective and laptop is faulty, i will ask for a replacement or refund.

    Likely all of these issues would be fixed with the chipset driver.
    Did you look at the solutions listed in that other forum post I linked to above?

  • Usb hotspot is not working anymore since i installed itunes 10.6.3

    USB hotspot is not working anymore... since i installed itunes 10.6.3
    Please help me... how can i fix it.
    I have wondows 7.

    1.- Thanks for answering.
    2.- I think I did not explain myself properly: The iPod is detected by both Windows and iTunes 10.5.3 64bit version.
    The problem lies in that now after all the failures and the loss of my music (imagine I have to rip my entire CD collection again) whenever I try to sync my iTunes collection to my iPad (either on a single batch or album by album) a -50 o -69 error appears.
    UPDATE: Now whenever I connect my iPod to the computer, it is recognized by Windows, but iTunes tells me that I have to restore it.
    I cannot but commend Apple Inc. on his efforts to make a 9 months iPod unsuable. Sincerely this has brought me back to the worst of the 90s with MS.
    UPDATE 2: Please let me add that with the previous iTunes version everything was ok. But, as soon as I installed the new Itunes (10.5.3 64bit) version the misery began. Unfortunately when I try to install the previous version I'm not allowed by the program and am referred to the newest buggy one.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
