I just got my mac book air, my usb3 external HDD is not getting detected. It was working fine with my old mac book pro. Any solutions?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
True. I work for Rutgers, The State University of NJ. Our computer repair dept is an authorized Apple Center. They were able to get this information for me.
I have been able to boot from the following flash drive with no problems: Patriot Memory Supersonic Boost XT USB 3.0 8GB Flash Drive (PEF8GSBUSB)
I'd like to add that the same Lexar USB 3.0 drive that would not boot on a mid 2012 Air (with USB 3.0 ports) will boot just fine on a 2011 Air (that has just USB 2.0 ports).
Try seagate external hardisk usb3.0 long cable ( 1 meter cable, not short cable)..
I solved all my USB3 problems by getting a powered USB3 hub from Amazon. The MacBook Air is under powered for many of these drives
Which USB hub did you purchase? One with a separate AC power?
Macbook Air usb3 not working!
