[QUOTE="alimasag, post: 392784, member: 31131"] Hi all, newbie here :) I have two problems with my new MacBook (OSX 10.4.9) which may or may not be unrelated. I backed up my data on a Lexar Firefly 1GB USB device. The first time I attached the device to the MacBook, I could see its contents. But now, whenever I plug it in and try to open it, my desktop just refreshes, without letting me access the USB device. I checked on another computer and the device works fine. My old iBook G4 crashed so now I want to try to recover my stuff by using it as a Target device connected by a firewire cable. Same thing happens: First time I did it, I coud see inside my old hard drive, but subsequently, the disk image wouldn't even show up. What's going on here??? :Oops: I appreciate any help you could offer!! [/QUOTE]
