I've had this problem before but my methods don't work this time. Hope you can help me out.

- Bought a nice Alfa Romeo gadget 32 GB USB stick for my in-car music
- Clicked it in my 2008 iMac and dumped it with fav tunes from my iTunes lib
- Copy did not run so I abort and used Mac Disc Utillity to partition, initialize etc
- After 2 days - this takes time - it recognizes the USB stick in the Mac Disc Utillity but won't show on my desktop > where is it?
- Laptop pc (10) ditto, no show no go...
- What to do?

There must be a way to wake up the stick? Hope you can help. Thx.

LOL - I use a handfull USBs and they work fine.

What's the procedure on my laptop PC (MSW10) then? It just won't show up?
