I have a flash drive plugged into the correct USB port on my iMac .. but it does not automatically open on my desktop, and I can't find where to locate it! I need to ultimately copy the content from the flash drive onto either a CD or a file that I can then upload to DropBox and share.

I'm having trouble copying photos from iPhoto onto a flash drive to share. What am I doing wrong? I selected photos in iPhoto and exported them as jpegs into a desktop folder. However, I can't drag that folder onto the external flash drive.

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.

I'm using an external hard drive for mac backup and also to store photo files. I copied some photo files to the drive about two weeks ago and their icon appears, but when I want to open them, I get an error message: "The alias “...” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found." There is also a small arrow on the icon. My other files can be opened okay.
What's also strange is that I found the icon of the external drive in the folder with the picture files, even though I did not drag it there (the main icon is till on my computer's desktop, where it should be.) That icon also has a small arrow on it. When I click on it, it opens and I can see my folders, but the photo folders with the arrow on it will still not open.
I tried ejecting the drive and reconnecting it, but it didn't work. Is there anything I can do to recover the missing photo files, or are they most likely gone? I have deleted these pictures from my computer hard drive. What should I do about the mysterious second external drive icon? Delete it or keep it? Can I somehow use it to restore the photo files?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just transfered all my files from Iomega Zip drivers to Mac compatible HP Flash drive. Now I can't open any of those files on HP Flash drive. Some of the files have even disappeared. Is there something I'm suppose to do with Flash drive to open files. If I can't open any of my files on HP Flash drive, is there any program I can purchase to retrieve files on Zip Drive?

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 have a 24" intel imac from 2 years ago and it has USB2 ports on the back right, well if I plug in a flash drive and take files from the drive to the computers they transfer at USB2 speeds. But when I go the other day and copy from the mac to the USB drive it's slow as hell. Like USB1 or worse speeds. It's not like that on my PC at work which has similar specs to the IMac.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a late 2011 iMac (21.5") that has worked pretty well since purchase in November, 2011. However recently I started to experience severe lagging and even major skipping when viewing Flash video content on a number of different sites. The behavior exists in both Firefox and Safari, and I've tried a clean install of Flash twice now with no improvement. I also upgraded my router to address intermittent wireless outages that I thought were contributing to the video performance issues.
I was previously using an old Airport Express, and purchased a new Airport Extreme. That improved my wireless performance dramatically. Constant signal drops disappeared, and my speedtest.net speed went from all over the map with an average of 5Mbps to a smooth steady 50Mbps almost every time. However the video issues have persisted. Yesterday I downloaded temperature monitor to see if overheating was an issue. Here are my readings after about 40 minutes of running flash content:
I just purchased an APC UPS (something I've been meaning to do anyway) but I'm doubtful power fluctuations are the culprit. I'll try plugging directly into the router of course, to see if somehow flash content is causing some wifi signal variance that speedtest doesn't pick up. But I'm beginning to worry that my GPU is the real issue here.

About a week ago, we accidentally installed what we think is a bad version of a flash player when attempting to register a rewards card. We un-installed the software as soon as we realized it was not the correct website for the rewards card. Since then, we are getting a flashing pop-up ad in the right column of the browser as well as a video window that pops-up from left bottom of browser and then multiple windows in Safari will just open.
