Why won't my USB drive work?

Hello,
I have a Kingston Datatraveler Locker USB that I use on a regular basis. In order to use this thumb drive I need to run the encryption program and type in my password before I can access the data that I have stored on it. Before I upgraded my Macbook Pro to the new iOS Yosemite it worked perfectly. Now, every time I put the USB in, my macbook recognizes that an USB is inserted; however, when I go to run the encryption program I get a message saying that the program quit unexpectedly and no matter how many times I try, this continues to happen. I have tried multiple times, taking the USB out and inserting it and trying to run the program again. I tried to restart my Macbook and relaunching finder.

It is unfortunately (or fortunately) not a problem with your Mac. I have a brand new MacBook, free of any dust clouds, and my DTL+ also does not work. See the note from the Kingston support board below:
I updated my MacOS to 10.10 (Yosemite). Now my DT Locker Plus does not work. Is there a fix for this?
Unfortunately Apple made changes in their update to the MacOS that disabled the function of this drive. Since this drive is discontinued, we will have no fix for it. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you.

  • Why won't my USB mic work with Facetime?

    I use a headset for chatting on my Macbook Pro because the audio quality is better than the stock speakers and built in mic.  For some reason today when I'm using Facetime, its only receiving audio input through the built in mic on the laptop.  The computer is detecting that there is another mic connected, and it works fine when using Skype or Ventrilo, but won't use it for Facetime.  The output works fine.  I can still hear everything through my headset, it just won't use my headset mic.  It was working correctly with my headset mic last night, and after restarting my computer this afternoon, this problem started.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"

    USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
    windows 8 
    USB Drives works, but does not show up in "Safely Remove Hardware"
    Here are my symptom
    - USB Flash Drives , USB External HDD works normally
    - I can see them in "My Computer"
    - I can open "Safely Remove Hardware" via Run Command, but there is no device in the list
    - They show up as "Disk drives" in device manager
    - When I right click their icons in "My Computer", there is no option to "Eject" them
    - In "Disk Management", they show up as "Basic". Prior to this issue, they were "Removable"
    After I tested, it seems that my Vista detects every USB storage device as a normal HDD.
    I don't know why but I'd appreciate any help because I have to plug-in and remove those drives often, especially flash drives.
    Thank you

  • HDD USB drive works with Mavericks but not with Yosemite

    I have a 1TB Maxell HDD USB that always worked fine with my MacBook Pro running currently iOS 10.9.5 (Mavericks) and I just bought a new iMac running iOS 10.10.1 (Yosemite). When I connect the USB drive to the iMac with Yosemite it won't even show up in the Disk Utility, regardless what format I choose when re-formatting it on my older Mavericks MacBook.
    I have the same USB drive from Maxell with 500GB and that seems to work fine between Mavericks and Yosemite. So what is the problem with this 1TB USB drive? Does anyone has a solution on how to get to mount on Yosemite?
    Many thanks for any help!

  • Why won't my optical drive open unless there is a disc in it?

    I bought my eMac (1.25Ghz, USB 2.0, MacOS 10.5.8) from my school last Friday, and have been fixing little glitches, deleting old files, etc. I've finally gotten everything in almost perfect working order except the optical drive. The drive itself seems fine and reads CD's no problem. The only problem is that the drive won't open on it''s own, I have to use the little paperclip hole everytime I want to open it. However, once the disc is in, it will read and eject the disc normally, but once the drive is empty again, I have to use the paperclip to get it open. I don't know if it's a hardware or software malfunction. Help!?
    P.S. It also spits out DVD's. I thought it was supposed to be able to read them (it reads CD's just fine), but it just gives DVD's back.

    I took off the face plate inside the the tray to make sure there was a spot for a Airport Extreme card (there is, and I'll be getting one =D ), and I noticed an eject button on the disc drive itself (right hand side), upon pressing that, it opened up just fine, so we can assume the drive works fine, however, I also noticed a little green light on the left hand side that is not illuminated. Should it be? Does this help at all? It's strange that the eject button on the drive works, and then it reads the CD I put in it, and will eject it with the button on the keyboard, but once I took the disk out it became inert again. =S
    Also, when I put the disk in, I went to the about this Mac, and then to ATA and it showed this:
    Without a disk it shows this:
    I think I had originally been looking at Serial-ATA which just says:
    This system does not contain any Serial-ATA devices. If you have any Serial-ATA devices installed, please check that they are connected and powered on.
    I hope this helps.

  • Pc won't recognize USB drive

    i have never been soooo disgusted with a product like i am with this!!! seems i am not alone. bought my son's 4th gen ipod nano as a christmas gift on black friday, christmas morning came and guess what? yep, the **** thing didn't work. updated everything from windows, followed all of tech support advice and direction and guess what? still doesn't work! my pc still doesn't recognize the USB driver, keeps showing me an unknown device, when i uninstall and reinstall the only change i have gotten is one time, it finally recognized the ipod driver but kept getting the message that it can't start code 10. Tried updating the driver and nothing except it shuts windows down and gives a stop warning. the jerks at apple are worthless and i will never purchase another apple product again. never had this problem with his 2nd gen nano, their new and improved *****! any advice?

    After several hours the issue is gone. Not sure what the solution was unfortunately, I've been messing around quite a bit :).
    The machine booted fine from my USB stick with linux on it - so it did boot from USB. For some odd reason it didn't boot from my Windows Vista installer stick tho' - which had me worried. There's no USB options in the BIOS (other than IRQ - so no legacy
    mode etc.). I have blown quite a bit of dust from the mobo and reset the CMOS. After booted windows after that it was a tad slower than usual, came with a message your computer needs to be rebooted for these changes (no idea what 'these' are tho' :)) and even
    without rebooting it was functioning again.
    Either something was very wacky in the BIOS or the dust was causing some form of interference that didn't interfere with everything (like linux stick working but windows not for boot).
    Strange stuff - but it's working again :).

  • Why does my Lexar USB drive ONLY show in Disk Utilities?

    I have read other questions about disk drives NOT showing up on Desktop. I do have external disks checked in preferences AND when I go to save an excel file it shows the drive as an option to save to. I have files on it, WHY CAN I NOT ACCESS IT!?
    Whether it is simple or not, I'm not figuring it out please help!

    Disk Utility can sometimes see external drives that don't register on the Desktop. This can also apply to damaged USB drives.
    Have you tried this? In Disk Utility, click on (highlight)  the Lexmar USB drive listed on the left side, then on the toolbar click the icon, Mount. With a bit of luck this may now show on the Desktop.

    Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5 and why can't Itouch V2 update to IOS 4 or 5 operating systems?

    1. The developer stopped supporting older iOS versions.
    2. A second generation iPod touch can be updated to iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 4.3 or newer.

  • Lenovo usb drive works with MBA

    I tried an external usb drive that came with my lenovo x61s at work. Works fine. Just though I would let folks know. It is larger than the superdrive and may be more expensive, but if you have one or know someone who does then it will work.

    couple of things to try:
    _*Checking a device’s USB connection*_
    _*If a USB device isn’t working*_
    you could also try starting up in _*safe mode*_, then reboot normally, to see if that fixes things.
    lastly, you could run _*Apple Hardware Test*_ using the install DVD that came with your machine.

  • Why won't my lock button work?

    I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

    It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.
