[QUOTE="digdug, post: 623948, member: 51976"] [b]Help USB still not mounting[/b] Hi all, I know this is slightly out of date post but has anyone found a solution for this? I believe I am experiencing the same problem with my Portable Media player which is essentially a 160GB HDD (Laptop one) I have tried many of the solutions offered arround the net to solve this issue. Here are my findings to date It mounts fine if I re-install the Mac OS X to 10.4.8 and don't do any further updates. If any further updates are done the device appears in the System Profiler but fails to mount on the desktop. I tried the Mac OS X 10.4.9 for iTunes 7.6 to work, then it stops mounting again. The 10.4.10 USB Update found here still doesn't allow my portable hard drive to mount.

I have tried for months on and off to find a solution for this. The drive works fine on a Power PC G5, any Windows machine but fails to work on any iMac that has 10.4.10. Is there another solution?
