OS Monterey 12.0.1 - SanDisks Have Stopped Working

I'm having issues with a Gtech Gdrive where it keeps flashing and I can't access files, eject disk, or shutdown the computer when it is connected. I contacted support and they basically said the same thing they are working on a fix. I've seen lots of other posts about external drive and usb hub issues being affected by OS 12.0.1.

It's hard to believe that Apple or SadDisk has not addressed this problem! I told him about it the day after the software update came out! The only thing that saved me is that I use my old computer that is not updated, I purchased Seagate back up plus for Mac- you can make that secure and you can say goodbye to SandDisk what's your move all your files over! At least I have secure and accessible files by doing this. I don't think Apple or SanDisk care anymore about anyone who fights faster problems.

Looking up at Sea gate there Secure software it's very easy to use and you can make it secure!

I got the same info from Sandisk. I was able to use my old Mac to open the flash drive and copy out all the files. Now the problem is where to put them that is a secure password protected place?

Call SanDisk Teck support. Get the number on line.

Same story on the iMac:

since I've upgraded to macOS Monterey 12.0.1 the SanDiskSecureAccessV3_mac application tells me "This application only runs on a SanDisk flash drive." No access anymore on the data stored there :-(

definitely not acceptable!

Would be happy if someone has a solution...

I have this problem too, I contacted sands live chat who asked me to remove some of the files from the vault onto my desktop, download a new file or secure access V3 from their website and re-install.

Didn't work, fingers crossed they'll come out with an update soon. I use my sandisk for work at work on windows and at home on Mac and currently can't access any of my files at home.

To All: if anyone get this resolved / Apple or SanDisk please post here and I will also post. I have all my tax information on several sticks by the years. Never saw this coming- I spoke live person on apple and SanDisk and one is playing the other!

I have the same situation but I used an older (not up to date) MAC to retrieve all my files. Now how to save them securely.

I hesitate to try any of the suggestions to move files from the flash drive or reinstall the SanDiskSecureAccessV3_mac application.

Since upgrading my MacBook Pro to OS 12.0.1 Monterey my SanDisk USB drives aren't working. When I try to access using the installed SanDiskSecureAccessV3_mac application I get "This application only runs on a SanDisk flash drive." I've reinstalled app and nothing changes. Can't access. All of the drives worked fine before the upgrade.

My San Disks no longer work after upgrading to Monterey.This seems to be affecting a lot of users. A comprehensive answer about what is being done is needed. Its not good enough to fob people off by suggesting try another computer or to pass the buck to SanDisk. This is equally an Apple responsibility as well

Hello Guys , any update here . is there an update for san disk secure access for Monterey ?

I bought the san disk on Sunday , I have put all my data on it , and checked the password app secure access , it was working on big sur but I did not put password .

On Monday I updated to Monterey , the drive is working , thanks god I did not put password otherwise I would have lose the access to my data in one day .

I feel I should have taken the Samsung T7 touch as it secured by touch and that’s easier.

But now I need to secure my Sandisk. so any update please .

The fix does not work for me. I have downloaded the fixes for Mac and Windows I am running Monterey with Parallels for Windows 10.I have tried on both platforms and I get the same error message " This application only runs on a San disk flash drive" The SanDisk is inserted in the usb slotted has been opened. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I installed the PrivateAccess on one of my flash drives which previously had the SecureAccess (that no longer works) I was able to create a new vault but no where am I able to access the file in the old vault. So while the new app works, the problem is still we can't retrieve our files. That is what must be fixed!!

When I did the install and then executed the the PrivateAccess it indicated that there was already a vault and asked me if I wanted to use it, indicated I did, when I entered my original password it took me to all my files.

Hello,

I have the same problem since I upgrade my macbook to Monterey
