Using a flash drive stick USB with parallel on imac OS 10.4.10

When I plug in a scandisk flash drive stick - usb port (cruzer micro) 4gig. OSX recognizes it, windows XP on parallel 3 does too, but when you click on do you want to bring it in - nothing happens. How do I get windows to accept the flash drive (stick) so I can see and use it?

Since Parallels is not an Apple product, you're more likely to receive an accurate response by posting your question on the Parallels forums:

Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini?

I need to use a USB 64GB flash drive, formatted for both PC and Apple, with my Mac Mini. The largest USB flash that Apple sells is 32GB. Which USB 64GB flash drives are compatible with Mac Mini. If most are, are there any that I should avoid? Thanks.

I'm assuming that when I connect the USB to the Mac it gets formatted for Mac. Then I follow your directions and it gets formatted for Windows, in addition to Mac. I'd choose ExFAT since it is a 64GB USB.
No no. A brand new drive will be formatted as "something", most likely something for Windows, and that could be FAT (which a Mac can also read and write to) or NTFS (which a Mac can read but not write to).
So, you'll need to make sure it's formatted as ExFAT, instead of what it is. A medium can be in always only one format.
About the expense: Fry's is advertising a 64GB Patriot USB Flash Drive for $22.99. Is that considered expensive for a USB flash drive?
That'd be dirt-cheap, I'd say. Expect it to be very slow.
I've read answers that are somewhat related to my question, and some warn that USB's are slow. Maybe I should consider another option?
USB is not that slow (though there are faster buses). And USB flash drives come in different speeds, where especially the "write" speed can vary hugely.
The advantage of USB is that it's widely spread, and lots of media is on the market, making it very affordable. The only other affordable alternative is an external HDD, I'd say, where you get much bigger drives for less money than a small 64GB USB flash drive...
My main objective is that, in switching from Windows to Mac, I want to be able to access Windows files that I've backed up to a Seagate Free Agent. I bought a LaCie with the Mac Mini, but will still want to use the Free Agent. I need to reformat the Free Agent for the Mac (hopefully for Mac and Windows; while learning to use the Mac and Numbers and Pages I may have emergency jobs that I'll need to do with Excel and Word on the PC), so my plan is to move the files on the Free Agent to the 64GB flash drive, reformat the Free Agent so that, hopefully, the Mac will read the files on it after I move them back to the Free Agent from the USB.
Why don't you copy the content of the Free Agent meanwhile to the Mac's HDD? Then copy it back after re-formatting the Free Agent? Why would you need an extra USB drive?
Any ideas you have about how to achieve this objective will be appreciated. Maybe I should buy a third, small, external hard drive? Maybe there is a way to move the Windows files from the Seagate to the LaCie?
Exactly... you seem to have already extra space on the LaCie drive...
My understanding is that the Apple Store does not want to move files from an external hard drive to the Mac.
I don't know where this could origin, but that's as wrong as it is funny. What has the App Store to do with you moving some files from one drive to another?
I should add that I don't have enough remaining free space on the PC hard drive to hold the files on the Free Agent, so that is not an option.
No, but you have a Mac with a built-in HDD, and you got the LaCie drive. Again, the Mac should have neither a problem to read from the Free Agent, nor to write to the LaCie.
From what you're telling here, you have lots of space already with what you have, I can't see the need for the USB flash drive, at least not for the purpose you mention here.
It seems that your understanding is that (a) a drive comes in a particular format for, or not for Mac, and you can't change it, and (b) that for some reason (App Store?!) Macs aren't allowed to copy files from external files. Well, both is wrong...

Can I use a flash drive with my iPad? If yes, what kind?

Can I use a flash drive with my iPad? If yes, what kind?

Actually, and to clarify, the Lightning to sd card camera reader does not have a usb port in any shape.
The Lightning to usb camera adapter is the one that has the USB port. (its an entirely different product)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnod e=3a
The old 30 pin Camera connection kit, had a USB port adapter as well as the sd card reader in the same package.
In any case, if the iPad you bought is an iPad 4, then no you{ll need to decide if you want an Sd card reader or the actual USB port.
If its an iPad 2 then the camera connection kit will offer the usb port in the box.
However as was already mentioned, and with either product you can only transfer pictures in a very specific format.

HT204350 I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive. It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there. I cant see photos, etc.

It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info. but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.
Mike

A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data. Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier. I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4. If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place. I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this?

I would like to buy a developer license to use on a mac at a public library from a flash drive any issue with this? Very new to this

The license is for the Developer not the machine it is run on However there could be soma issues with trying to develop on a public machine.
The biggest is does the library machine have or will they let you install and run Xcode and if you are developing for IOS will they let you plug in your devices?
In addition will they allow you the hours needed on the machine? Most public machines have a time limit especially if there are others waiting to use it.
All-in-all in can be done but it won;t be an easy situation.
good luck

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

Why can't a mac ipad use a flash drive or cd burner

Please. let me know why ipad doesn't have ability yo use a flash drive or CD burner.

The iPad doesn't have a file manager - like Finder or 'my computer' that allows the use of such devices.
It likely will never support any sort of optical drive - heck within the next few years I'm wiling to bet cd readers/burners go the way of the floppy drive (likely as soon as the record and video industry goes the way of distribution via USB key). But there are some apps and wireless flash drives that work with iPads - they have an app that takes the place of a file manager.
Look for sandisk wireelss flash drive, to just name one. I have no experience with them but there are a couple of users here that have them and recommend it a lot.

Using A Flash Drive To Boost RAM

Hey all, I have several questions here. I do sound recordings with my Mac G4 Quicksilver, and need to do some upgrades to run different software. I currently have 10.3.9 but need to go as advanced as I can??? Please forgive my lack of knowlegde when it comes to computers... I catch on fast, but I really don't know much currently. I'm looking at purchasing a 1.8GHz processor to upgrade from 800, and as far as I know my RAM is maxed out at 1.5GB. My computer also doesn't have a DVD drive.
Question 2: My system as far as I know is maxed out on available RAM, all three slots have a 512MB, totaling 1.5GB or so. On Windows, particularly Vista, you can plug in a 4GB flash drive, and with a few clicks, utilize the 4GB for RAM. I've purchased a 4GB flash drive through Ramjet, with this hope in mind. Is there any way to boost the RAM on my Mac by using this flash drive? Are there any other ways of boosting the RAM?

SoundMind76:

Your RAM is, indeed, maxxed out. That is as much as the QuickSilver will support. However, it will be plenty enough to support Tiger, and even Leopard, if your processor upgrade allows the installation of Leopard. As noted by earlier posters, you cannot use a USB flashdrive as RAM. Here are the technical specifications for Leopard and the minimum system requirements for Tiger.

I am not familiar with the processor upgrade to which you refer, but if you can do that it will give you a very powerful computer. The processing speed comes from the processor, and RAM and a minimum of 15 GB available disk capacity (free space) will improve efficiency.

Using a flash drive

Aloha all, I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, but after 15 -20 min of searching the iPhoto forums I haven't been able to find a difinitive answer. So, can I store my library on a large flash drive, and use it to view my photos? I know I can use an external HD, I do it with my MacBook, but is it workable to use a flash drive as the external drive or will it just be to slow to be of any use? Mahalo for any info, tips, or suggestions. JB

A flash drive is an external disk. Just, as with any external, make sure it’s formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Iphoto will have issues on any other format. Also, unless it’s USB 2 it will be painfully slow.

Do I need a blank disc for bootcamp? Or could I use a Flash Drive?

Do I need a blank disc for bootcamp? Or could I use a Flash Drive? Thanks

Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a CD or USB media to install the latest Boot Camp drivers for your computer. You should get the newest drivers available any time you install Boot Camp.
Install Windows with an installation disc you provide or—on some Mac computers—with a USB flash drive that contains a Windows 7 ISO image downloaded from Microsoft. The Boot Camp Assistant helps you burn the image to the flash drive.

Can I use a flash drive to back up my iTunes?

Did a search on backing up my iTunes, and only get the option of backing up to a disc (Which is what I've done over the past 3 years. I now have 6 discs accumulated).
Can I use a flash drive to back up my apps, music, and videos?
I only have a total of 1.6 GB of apps, music, & video.
If so, would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
Thanks for any advice or help.

The backup built into iTunes works only with CDs and DVDs, but you can back up onto a flash drive or hard drive manually. Just drag the entire iTunes folder (normally in your user's Music folder) onto the backup device.
would I then be able to transfer everything from the flash to a new hard drive when I replace the current one?
Yes. If you back up the entire iTunes folder, you should be able to just copy it back to the new drive in the same location (user -> Music folder).

How do I move photo's from an IPhoto album to a flash drive stick?

I Need to know how to move photo's from a IPhoto album to a flash drive stick. Also how do I make sure the stick is formatted and blank

ALbums in iPhoto have manul sorting. When you export from iPhoto you send the files to the Finder and that doesn't. It can sort in many ways, but perhaps the most usual is by name. So, rename the photos and then export them using the title as filename or the album name and number or even Sequential.
When you go File -> Export note the option at the bottom of the Export dialogue:

I need help, I am unable to download my latest purchase on itunes to my car using a flash drive, any suggestions?

I am unable to import my latest purchase from iTunes onto my car, I am using a flash drive but when I plug it into my car, it doesn't even show that the cd is on there but it does show it being on there when I plug the flash drive into my pc, any suggestions?

That message "Adobe Reader could not open 'ZinioReader4(1).air' because it is either not a supported file type " may seem to suggest a relationship between ZinioReader and Adobe Reader. But actually it means the exact opposite. Adobe Reader cannot open this. There is nothing wrong with Adobe Reader; it cannot open .air files, never has, never will.
So the problem is not Adobe Reader, it is that you are trying to use the wrong thing (Adobe Reader) to open a .air file. My guess is that you were asked what opens .air files and you once chose Adobe Reader.
No idea what does open .air files or how; but this is to assure you that you are in the wrong place. Perhaps the Adobe AIR forum is the right place.

Sync 2 computer using Axiom flash drive

Hi,
I apologize in advance because I have no clue where to post this questions and I probably won't sound like I know what I'm talking about.
I have 2 iMacs and I use files and folders of the same on both computers. I go from home to work and vice versa and I carry these files and folders with me on my flash drive. I am screwing things up trying to figure out if I've used a file on my flash drive, hard drive or what?
Can I use some kind of sync program that will take the newer files from either the flash drive, or two hard drives and use the current file/folder on all?
Does this even make sense? I know I can't possibly be the first person to want to do this, I'm just not sure of the jargon I need to use.
Other question, is there a better way of doing this? I've looked around, but I feel like my head is going to explode because I don't know what I need or what to ask?
Thank you!

This may not be the answer to your question, which I have probably misunderstood, but you can do what you want without using a flash drive by using .Mac, which will allow you to sync the two computers over the internet. That way, both machines will be current, and you don't have to figure out what you have, or have not, transferred.
