I just plugged in my new eGo Desktop Hard Drive to my MacPro and there is no recognition of the device. What do I do?

yes you can replace the port with the help of smd reworks machine

Iomega Utility are not Specific to the current device.

My iomega ego external hard disk was working properly but when i connected it today the encryption utility show that-Iomega Utility are not Specific to the current device and no any area shown to type password. My drive contains lots of valuable data. How can I acess into my drive. But the virtual drive is shown.

right click on my computer and choose manage.
computer management will appear.
go down to disk management
if you see your ego drive listed there
right click on it and choose change drive letter and paths
choose a drive letter that isn't in use like F or G.
you should now be able to browse or view the ego drive in my computer. or by going to run and type the drive letter you choose.

Hi ,
Unfortunately , the device is probably definitely damaged .
The only way I can see to try to recover your data is to force the lid of the box ( will be lost for good ) and put the hdd in a new external box or connect it directly to the motherboard inside your desktop if this is what you have .
Good luck !
Best regards

Yes, because it is a Plug-and-Play device, and because Windows supports Plug-and-Play.

Few different things are possibilities.
1. Are you connecting the device via USB 3.0 to the USB 3.0 adapter on the computer? 2. Try switching out your USB 3.0 cable for a different one. 3. If you are using the USB 2.0 instead. Make sure you are using the USB Y cable for the device and not just a standard USB 2.0 straight cable. Using the USB Y cable. Plug the cable into the device first, then make sure to plug both USB's into the computer starting with the short side USB then the longer side USB second. Also try using the USB's on the back side of the computer as they will supply more power than the USB's on the front of the computer.

An external storage-device has four major components:

* the USB cable

* the power-adapter

* the disk-drive inside the enclosure

* the USB-to-disk-drive adapter inside the enclosure.

One of these components has failed.

Try a different USB cable.

Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.

Try connecting to a USB port on a different computer.

Take a "multi-meter" and measure both the voltage and amperage output from the AC adapter, and compare with the specifications on the label on the adapter.

Open the enclosure, and remove the disk-drive, and then connect it as a "slave" disk-drive in a desktop computer, to see if it works at all.

Purchase a new, compatible, disk-drive, and install it in the enclosure, to "revive" your external storage device.

Get the part-number and serial-number from the label on your disk-drive, and access the manufacturer's web-site, and use "check warranty status", to see if they will replace the device, at minimal cost to you.

There exist commercial "data recovery" services that can try to repair your device, just long-enough to rescue and copy your files. For example, see: https://services.seagate.com/index.aspx?lng=en-US for a "no data - no charge" guarantee.

Hi, you should not need to format your new hard drive, they arrive ready to use. If you require the format just plug you device in, go to hard drives where there is an option to format or repair

> its either the port itself where you connect the hd,or the connetor itself,try to connect it to another pc

I had a similar 'rebooting' issue with my WD external drive caused by a faulty USB interface on my Desktop: if you have an external USB hub, try running your drive via the plug-in USB Hub to shield your external drive from your desktop inbuilt USB electronics..
