Kensington flash drive suddenly won't mount

by TNeile - 7/25/10 2:00 PM

Just used a USB flash drive on a friend's Mac Book. Now I can't get it to mount on any Mac. I ejected it correctly before dismounting it. Any way to force a Mac to recognize the drive?

Thanks.

USB Device Not Recogized

HI, I've similar problem with Kennington "Data Transfer" and mac-mini-intel ports i.e. the mini will not recognize my USB Flash/thumb drive. However, the mini will recognize the flash drive, if it is plugged into my Emac( PPC ) keyboard first. If I plug into mini port first and then plug into Emac keyboard I get a warning alert! the device is drawing to much power and the port will be shut down to protect equipment, but the port does not shut down and the flash continues to be recognized and functions normally.. I have tried multiple partioning, security options and format options --e.g MS-DOS-FAT and GUIDE etc--- and nothing gets the mini to driectly recognize the flash drive except the PPC keyboard.....I will track this thread so please report back what works for you, if you get it figured out..Xfun
