When I plug any of my USB flash drives that work with my PC laptop my iMac doesn't see them or mount them. They don't even show up when I look at disk utility. I have a USB printer and an external USB HDD plugged in and they work.

My cursor was moving over the flash drive icon in Finder. I clicked on the icon. I think Finder believed I was trying to move the icon elsewhere. The icon vanished in a puff of smoke. Now I cannot see it on Finder.

I have an Intel imac with a 2 TB SATA drive used for media and a 251 GB drive used for applications etc . Trouble is when assessing storage on "About This Mac" it looks like 141GB of the flash drive is full of movies . Can I find a way to see what those movies are in order to safely delete duplicates or move them onto the SATA hard drive. I use apple tv to get media content from itunes but do not really know how itunes or where itunes stores the files . I'm assuming its from the SATA disk as Ihave 1.5 TB of files on there all available in i tunes

I used a new USB flash drive this morning to transfer my pictures to. It showed it was transferring them then the screen went blue and nothing responded. I shut down the computer and unplugged everything but now when I turn the computer back on it shows my home screen and I can see the mouse icon moving around but I am unable to 'click" on any of my programs and get a response.

After 4 years of no problems when I log onto Yahoo/AT&T email it says Flash is blocked-you must unblock Flash in an openmail app. I have reinstalled Flash to no avail. The email app seems to work fine. How do I make this message go away?

I own a Sony Cyber-shot camera, and a 24 inch IMAC computer. I took a short video clip and downloaded it to Iphoto (no problem doing that). I then downloaded the clip to a 4 gpb flash drive, as an mp4 video. My problem is that my friends Microsoft based PC can't play it.

Here's a strange one. Got a new flash drive. My first step, always, is to use disk utility to erase and reformat the flash drive into FAT32, single partition.
But when I plug in my latest flash drive into my Macs, I see the U3 Install Disc icon on my desktop.
What gives? How can U3 still be on it after a reformat? More importantly, how do I get rid of it?

I have a 32MB flash drive and I though of experimenting with my TimeMachine on my MacBook Pro . I never used time machine before. I deleted everything from my flash drive and opened up time machine. I then selected my flash drive to be used as a back up drive, I was asked to erase flash drive and reformat ... O.o I wasnt to sure about it but I did it anyway [stupid I know, dont bash me] so TimeMachine began to back up onto my flash drive, then I got a notice that said that I cant back up on my flash drive as it only has 31.2 MB where 91MB was needed. So I took it out. Less than a minute later I inserted my flash back into my mac and it was not being detected. I cant find it in my finder or my desktop.. I even looked for it using spotlight and nothing was found. Its brand new and I really hope I could use it again. Somebody please help.
p.s I also tried using another flash drive and it was detected as soon as it was inserted.
I am trying to format a 4gb USb flash drive and I just can't seem to figure out how. I saw some people say you have to empty the trash while the drive is plugged in, but that doesn't seem to work either.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo my exact problem is that I usually use my Flash between my Mac and other PCs. And I just installed OSX Snow Leopard from my 8GB Kingston Flash. Now I know to use Disk Utility to reformat to MS-DOS (FAT) to be able to to use it between the to OSs again.
So I do that but PCs won't read it and ask me to reformat it again. I'd happily do that cuz I know as long as it's in FAT or FAT32 the two OSs will be able to read and write from each other. But the PC only recognizes 200 mb and when I do reformat it on the PC there are now 2 different Partitions. One being the PC's 200 mb in FAT and the other Mac's almost 8GB MS-DOS.
I've tried a few different things too. I've tried Partitioning the whole thing over again int MS-DOS after having erased everything. Which I see only causes the Flash drive to shrink from 8.01 GB to 7.80GB and still isn't readable by a PC.
Then I tried Erasing it to free space but PCs still don't recognize it and still ask me to reformat the 200mb is sees on the Flash.
i hear its possible to make a install emergency disk using a flash drive, i purchased a HP USB 16GB flashdrive v 165w, [URL]
i formated the drive as a Guid Partition, ignored preferences and all the stuff i could find online to see to it that i did it right but no go,
can anyone tell me if this drive is incompatible or which one i should exchange it for?
i tried cloning my original OSX Leopard DVD and i get errors when from both CCC and Super Duper,
I am a new MacBookPro user and I really don't know what I am doing . I am having problems with the flash drive. It appears that it is not being recognized.
