My Mac recognizes the Iomega hard drive, but it will not let me copy or create new folders on it.

Plug your USB imoga ego usb drive into your computer.

Click on the "My Computer" icon at the top of your computer screen.

Double click on the iomega USB icon.

Right click in a blank space in the middle of the window to pull up a small menu.

Select the "New Folder" option from the menu to create a new folder on your Iomega USB 2.0 drive.

Drag all of the files that you want to protect into the new folder you created.

Right click on the folder that you created and select the "Properties" option from the menu.

Go to the "Sharing" tab and click on it.

Scroll down to the "Make This Folder Private" box and check it. Click the "OK" button and wait for the window to close.

Use your Windows log-in password to open the file.

hope this helps

Very simple! These instructions are for PC, if you have a Mac just say so

• When you have the hard drive plugged in, it will show up in the "My Computer" folder. Open the folder that appears. That is where you will put the files.
• Next, make a new window and find the files you want to copy.
• Right click a file, choose "Copy"
• Go to the Hard Drive window, right click the empty space, and choose "paste"
• Do that for each file until all of them have been copied
• If there are a lot of files, choose the fist one on the list, scroll to the bottom, hold the Shift button, and click on the last file. That will choose all of them. repeat the right click method above.
• Please reply if you have any more questions. Good luck! (Please give a thumbs up, I am doing this for a summer job!)

Can you copy that single document from the drive to a different folder?
Can you copy that copy to the IOMEGA?
Can you copy that original to the IOMEGA?

Try reformatting with a 50/50 partition.

Only format half the drive using the Win PC then format the other half with the Mac PC.

Bet the drive is toast. Get the correct software and do diagnostics on drive to confirm

It depends on how you formatted the the drive.
If it was formatted FAT it will work on both Mac and PC.
If you formatted to HFS+ (the native mac format) then it will only work on a mac.

you may have to download a new driver, but sorry to say that the drivers ive only been able to find is for windows nothing for mac pcs, its possible to try the mac website and see if they have and drivers to download, i will have a look and see, please let me know if you are able to find anything, good luck , thanks
