The Imation Apollo 2.5' Portable Hard Drive offers high-capacity mobile storage for data, photos, presentations, videos and music in a pocket-sized device that is lightweight, stylish and extremely durable. The Apollo drive is fully USB 2.0 powered and does not require an additional power supply. Mar 18, 2018 - Will this work for connecting my Universal Audio Apollo Twin MKII Audio Interface (Thunderbolt 2) Along with a USB-C cable, to my 2017 iMac?
Every once in a while you come across a product that you know is just the best in its class. Honestly, that doesn’t happen too often, but the is the best audio interface I’ve ever used on my Mac.
I’ve been using and testing Mac audio interfaces for years — I have small USB units, FireWire 400 and 800 interfaces, FireWire mixing boards, guitar processors, pedalboards and just about anything else you can imagine. They are all in my studio and have all be used at one time or another. I’ve recorded entire bands and everything right down to setting up a couple of mics and recording an acoustic guitar and nothing has been able to compare with the sound quality and ease of use I get with the Apollo. With its combination of hardware and software, the Apollo is probably the closest thing you’re going to get to a console without sitting behind a desk and grabbing the controls. It’s with this combination where I think the Apollo ultimately beat out the competition. With many interfaces, there is usually something missing — either the hardware is deficient in some way or the software doesn’t measure up to what we’ve come to expect in today’s music world.
Whatever it is, I find myself saying, “If only this were better,” or something similar. That doesn’t happen with the Apollo.
I plugged in the HD in a desktop and transferred somefiles. The said HD could not be detected on my laptop. HD could no longer be detected on previously mentioned desktop. HD also not detected on other desktops or laptops. Right, so I've tried the Disk Management Fix but I can't find my HD, even when plugged, the light is on but it isn't detected.
No signs whatsoever that it still exists. I've tried scanning my laptop for Malwares but nothing there, so I'm assuming that a. No virus/malware b.
Virus/malware came from desktop in #1 So I need help on how to access my HD. OS Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit Also. Sounds like the the unit is not supported by Windows 7. Do you have old XP laptop or desktop around. You could try to connect to one of those and see if it works. If so then it's a problem for your Windows 7 OS could have a corrupt USB drivers. That could be fix by uninstalling the USB drivers under Windows 7 then you would reboot and Windows 7 would rebuild the drivers for USB.
First I would see if the drive can work with XP if it can. Then do the above. If it can't contact the support for the drive and see if they have a fix or they can give you a replacement if your still covered?
When a USB drive is connected to a Windows computer, Windows should First detect the hardware and recognize it as a USB Mass Storage device Install a USB Mass Storage driver for it (under USB category in Device Manager) It next recognizes it as a disk storage device (vs. For example, a USB CD/DVD mass storage device) It installs a disk driver under Disk category for the drive (and then it gets mapped to and appears in Disk Management) So open Device Manager then plug the device in.
Do you see a USB mass storage driver appear under USB? If not, there's a problem with hardware / device detection. Let us know /. edit./ Likewise let us know if you see any devices in Dev Mgr listed as Other or Unknown /. edit2./ btw.
Are you at least hearing the USB ding-dong when you connect the device? Do you hear the USB ding-dong upon connection? Best to my knowledge you should always be seeing a USB Mass Storage driver appear for any USB CD/DVD or disk drive (You can test any other working device and you should see it appear) So it could be a matter of failure simply at the time you plugged it in to the desktop That said, i also see this a USB device which doesn't have an A/C adapter. So it relies on the USB port for its power and sometimes the USB port supplied power is simply not enough. Though the fact it no longer works on any computer is not a good sign I'd advise plugging into each computer and see if You hear the USB ding dong? Do you see any change in Dev Mgr (i.e. A USB Mass Storage driver or Unknow device get listed?) /.
edit./ btw. Have you also tried a different USB cable?
