Hi!
After doing a backup on my USB Key on the Kemper, and moving the key to my Mac, I found that the key refused to mount. I've tried the different USB ports on the Mac, connected to a HUB USB, rebooted the machine twice, no result. The Key is plugged in the Mac, it glows, but absolutely nothing else happens, and it is totally unseen by the system.
So i plugged again the Key to the Kemper, which didn't recognized it, and after a while displayed the pop-up :
"Are you sure ?
USB device needs to be formatted before use
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!"
The pop-up offered the choice "Yes" and "No".
First I tried "No" - Went back to the usual screen with under the third soft button the label "USB plugged".
Pushing the "USB plugged button" gives the pop-up :
"External Storage Device Option, etc...
but no choice on the soft buttons, just [EXIT] to return to main screen.
I unplugged the key, which caused the "Are you sure ?..." pop-up to display again.
Choosed "No", and the screen went back to normal.
Tried again. Pop-up "Are you sure ?", choosed "Yes" and nothing happened. After a while, I realized everything
was freezed, and the KPA wasn't responding to any control.
Finally, I unplugged the USB key, and the "No" soft button worked again.
It looks like the USB key is definitively dead and I found so far no way to test it or reformat it.
This is the first time, in years of using USK keys (and replacing them either because I losed them, or switched from 64M to 256M to 1G to 4G to 16G)
that I have such a problem.
So my question is : have any of you experienced something similar (in this case, there may be something wrong with the Kemper
USB port, either for all devices or only mine), or is this just bad luck (although I bought the Key, new, specifically for the purpose of exchanging data with
the Kemper two months ago), and I can go and buy a new USB Key with no fear ?
Thanks for sharing your experiences or points of view.
Regards.
J.Jacques.
