Why won't macbook pro recognize dynex flash drive

You most likely will need a different card to be compatible with your MacBook pro. Apple website should be helpful.

you may need to swap the usb port it's plugged in

Have you tried plugging these two thumb drives into a different PC than this one? If so, are they recognized?

You have to remember that a MAC and a PC have two very different operating systems and, as such, see things - such as file formats - differently from each other. They are not automatically compatible.

What you have written to those two flash drives on possibly a PC will not necessarily be readable by a MAC computer. And you must be very careful, or you may have a problem trying to put them back into the original computer, if the MAC has scrambled the data.

Thank You for using FixYa

When you plug in a flash drive on a macbook pro you will see an icon appear on the desktop with the name of the usb flash drive

Also, by going into the finder, on the left hand side of the screen you will see the connected drives. It should be under your hard drive.


Hope this information was helpful

Is there a memory card in the multi-reader? I don't believe that OSX will place an icon on the desktop before a card is inserted in the device. Just checking the basics first. Let me know.

is it compatible to the USB technology ? as in USB 2.0 vs. USB 1.0

try the flash drive on another computer , sometimes if you format the flash drive (Insert into USB connection, right click and press format) -- that may work

let me know please.

Try renaming the drive letter
Hope it helps
