Why does my usb flash drive show wrong info?

Hi all, I hope this is a simple question to ask but I have a 1 G flsh drive that I have pretty much filled up with files to transfer to my PC. I have it formatted to FAT32 . I recently erased some files I didn't really need to free up space but when I go to "GET inFO" it still shows as only 4.9mb available even though, by my calculation I deleted about 200mb worth of files to free up space......what gives??

Did you empty the trash after you deleted the files. They may still be there unless you did this. You can use what size to see what all is really there.

  • Where should USB flash drive show up in Lion?

    I can't see it on the desktop, but if I pull it out, I get an erroe message that I did not eject it first.

    Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on desktop > check "hard disks" and your flash drives should appear when they' connects. This is how it is in Snow Leopard, it may be slightly different in Lion.

  • Why does not USB flash card work?

    MacBook Pro 13' (late 2011)
    OS X Yosemite 10.10
    My USB hub does not see any flash card, but it works when I use my iPhone.
    What have I done: I tried to open my flash card. Then, I cleaned my flash card with Disk Utility and tried to connect to Mac again. I also tried to use different flash cards. But there was no effect.

    Thank you for your reply.
    The "does not work" means that the motor doesn't move with servo type.
    In MAX, there is no error when a target position is less than 999 in 1-D Interactive, but doesn't move. When the target position is more than 1000 and I click "Apply" and "Start", error ramps of "Motor off" and "Following error occurred" are red. And the motor doesn't move.
    I thought that firstly signals of encorder have been wrong because the motor have not moved with stepper mode of closed-loop and feedback of encorder.
    So I would connect correctly wiring of encorders, but the motor doesn't move.
    Wiring of all is "STEP", "DIR", "AO", "ENC A, B and Index bar" respectively. In MAX, type is servo mode, feedback is encorder, kinds of limit switch are not used.
    I supply it if you need the other setup of wiring or information.

  • Why does iphone 5C app updates show wrong login name?

    When I go to the app store to update apps, a name I've never seen before comes up as the login. It's disturbing. Is this a security risk?

    You've got an app that is owned by another ID. If this was warez, then yeah there would be a security risk there.
    What's the app and what's the Apple ID?

  • USB Flash Drive no longer shows on Desktop, it does appear in disk utility. I recently upgraded to 10.8 from 10.6 on both iMac and Macbook and the drive does the same on both.

    I updated my Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and have had only minor issues with some software but I plugged in a USB flash drive and went to format it, it now appears only in disk utility and not on the desktop. I have tried restarting and reseting with the drive in and out, I tried it into my macbook and it does exactly the same there. I can't do anything in Disk Utility so can't access it in any way and it says errors if I try to eject it from DU. I'm not normally stumped but I can't figure this out at all. I'm hoping that someone here could give me an idea that I haven't thought of as it's a large Flash Drive and I really would like to keep using it.
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

    If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the  drive is toast.
    BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

  • Why can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive?

    Why Can't I edit the photos I just imported from a usb flash drive? I scanned them into a desktop pc, copied them onto a flash drive, imported them into iphoto. Once I remove the flash drive I'm unable to edit them. Says it can't find the original...or something like that. I appreciate any help you can give me! Trying to get a slide show ready for a funeral, therefore I have an approaching deadline, eek!

    Copy the photos from the drive to your desktop import then again and delete the images. If the same mistake appears, there is something wrong with your import settings into iPhoto - > may be you didn't imported the original files to your iphoto library.

  • "Removable Disk" shows up in Windows 7 even when USB Flash drive isn't there

    I have a new windoz 7 computer, a couple of new sandisk cruzer 16bg flash drives. I removed the flash drives a couple of times without doing the "eject" thing. I never had a problem with your flashdrives on my xp machines. I know I was a bad boy, I just pulled the usb flash drive out. When I go to my computer folder it shows me my hard drives and its shows 5 Devices with Removable Storage ....one of which is the DVD RW Drive and 4 Removable Disk  which are or were times when I plugged in my usb flash drive. They show 0 bytes, nothing is in any of the "Removable Disk" instances and I cannot remove them. I tried to delete, cut and I tried to eject but the Removable Disk icon stays there. How can I get rid of these safely, I tried rebooting a couple of times, they show up even without any usb devices plugged in. Thanks in advance Scott

    I had this same problem.  It turns out to be easy to resolve:Open the Windows 7 "Start" Menu,  on the right shoose computer, in the new window that opens choose System Properties from the choices across the top of the window, now on the left side of the window choose Device Manager.  In Device Manager expand the "Disk Drives" entry.  You should see a listing of your hard disk drives and you'll also see "removable disk drives" with some additional idnetifying information.  Select the offending entry and then right click and select "Uninstall" click "Okay" and the entry will be gone.  Just be sure you're not uninstalling one of your hard disks.  That's all there is to it. To prevent this issue in the future always "eject" the SD drives/sticks before you remove them. I hope this helps.

  • Why doesn't my flash drive work in the usb port

    Does anyone else have the problem where the usb port is not reading my flash drive?

  • Does Time Machine back up USB Flash Drive?

    I have a 128GB USB Flash Drive. The contents of this flash drive was restored from a previous external SSD (used as storage and has died on me).
    Now I would like my Time Machine to backup both my MacAir and my USB Flash Drive.
    My First Concern is
    So when I plug in my USB Flash Drive, it appears in the Exclude List.
    However, after I remove the USB Flash Drive from the exclude list and click on Save.
    I start to Back Up using Time Machine.
    Does it mean that time machine will back up my USB Flash Drive for this One Time?
    Because when I open up the Time Machine preference, the USB Flash Drive re-appears in the Exclude List again.
    Second Concern
    When I open the HDD I use for Time Machine, I noticed that the latest backup consist of both my MacAir
    and the name of my Previous External SSD (instead of my current USB Flash Drive).
    I am wondering if Time Machine recognise my current USB Flash Drive as my previous external SSD
    since I restored my contents from there.
    So is my USB Flash Drive really backed up (just that Time Machine recognise it as my previous external SSD)?
    Hope someone can share their experience and advice on this.
    (Please do not recommend other app like Carbon Copy Cloner, as I already plan to use the CCC Trial.)
    Thank you to all.

    What is the format of the volume on the flash drive? It's shown in the Finder Info window.

  • USB Flash drive not showing on DT

    Hi folks,
    I received a USB flash drive with 2 GB capacity made by Super Talent (www.supertalent.com- look under Aluminum flash drives).
    Upon plugging it into the G5's USB port (i've tried them all) I get a "Cannot recognize- Initialize/Ignore/Eject" message. Clicking Initialize brings up Disk Utility which sees the drive with a capacity of..wait for it..2 Terabytes! Here's DU's info:
    Name : SKYMEDI USB Drive Media
    Type : Disk
    Disk Identifier : disk1
    Media Name : SKYMEDI USB Drive Media
    Media Type : Generic
    Connection Bus : USB
    Connection Type : External
    USB Serial Number : 03
    Writable : Yes
    Ejectable : Yes
    Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed : No
    Location : External
    Total Capacity : 2.0 TB (2,199,023,255,552 Bytes)
    S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
    Disk Number : 1
    Partition Number : 0
    Selecting HFS+ (journaled or not) or MS-DOS then clicking Erase gives me a spinning beach ball requiring me to Force Quit DU.
    My config: G5 DP 2.0, 1 GB ram, 10.4.6
    Any thoughts?

    hey there scan,
    I gave the drive to a friend who has an iMac. Samething occurs: drive does not mount, DU erroneously reports 2 TB capacity and coughs up the beachball seconds after clicking on Erase to format it. He's on 10.3.9 while I'm on 10.4.6.
    All the ports on my G5 are in working order as i use printer/scanner and iPod w/o problem.
    Think the drive is going back.

  • Combine USB flash drives and other USB storage to show up as one?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to combine USB flash drives or USB hard drives so when you plug two or more in, it will show up as one? Kind of the opposite of partitioning. Preferably using disk utility.
    Thanks!

    Hi gpd2paul4;
    Possible probably. Should you do it? Probably not.
    You would be using software RAID which would run only as fast as the slowest item in the RAID array. The USB flash drive would make the RAID array abysmally slow at best.

  • Why won't my USB flash drive work?

    I am working between two Macs in my house: the upstairs one is MAC OSX 10.6.8, and the downstairs one (an eMac) is MAC OSX 10.5.8 -- if that matters.
    I need to transfer files from the downstairs computer to the upstairs one.
    When I insert a USB flash drive into the upstairs Mac, I am able to save files to it and from it. (I have already read about the correct way to format the flash drive for FAT 32 and read/write, and I eject the drive correctly when I'm finished.)
    Then when I go insert the flash drive into the downstairs Mac:
    the flash drive appears on the desktop
    I'm able to open it, to see the files saved to it
    I can save files off of it, BUT
    I cannot save files to it. I get a message that there isn't enough disk space, which is incorrect -- there's plenty of memory
    I have tried opening Disk Utilities on both MACs, erasing the flash drive's contents, and reformatting it, but I get the same situation.
    I'm guessing the solution is simple and involves the eMac's preferences. Am I on the right track?
    Frustrating.
    Many thanks for your help!

    Niel:
    Thanks for the reply!
    The file on the eMac that I'm trying to transfer onto the flash drive is far less than 4GB.
    So I went onto the eMac's Disk Utilities and reformatted the flash drive as Mac Extended: still no dice. Even with the contents of the flash drive erased, any attempt to copy files onto it resulted in the same "not enough disk space" message.
    So I tried reformatting the same flash drive on the upstairs Mac. Same thing. I tried reformatting the flash drive both as "Mac Extended" and "Mac Extended (journaled)."
    Thoughts?

  • Does Solaris Volume Manager support USB flash drives?

    I would like to mirror or stripe across multiple USB flash drives on a Sun Blade 100 workstation running Solaris 10. Thanks!

    Never mind. The answer appears to be no, but I don't need the flash drives now anyways.
