Everytime I try to add files onto the hardrive it says "Iomega HDD cannot be modified" I can take my files off and put them on my computer but cant add anything. I am using a mini mac.
This sounds as though the Iomega has got locked somehow.
Do a get info on its desktop icon and have a look at the lock checkbox. Also look at the write permissions while you are there.

Oneday I plugged my hard drive in, and turned it on on the switch on the end of it, the blue light came on, it gave no evidence of any internal parts moving and then the light just faded away as if turning off. I don't know whats happened to it at all. I think it could possibly be something to do with the power input socket? Thanks!
