AtariSociety Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Howdy, I was gifted a factory packed and new LTOFlash. I have tried two different cables and 3 different Mac OS computers and when clicking the Find Devices button in the GUI software, my new LTOFlash is not seen. Just says none detected. From a Mac Mini on OS 10.14 to a MacBook Pro on OS 11.1 to a Mac Pro on OS 12. Two different cables too. Could my device be defective or is this an issue with Mac OS? Sorry, I have no access to a Windows computer. Only Ubuntu 18.04lts or Mac OS. I did message the two email address on the LTO website http://ltoflash.leftturnonly.info but so far no response back. I messaged the my serial # and basically the info I typed above. Thanks for the ear if you have any other advice for me to try. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I had already tried these. Non allow the LTOFlash I have to be detected on multiple computers with various Mac OS on them, unfortunately. I will try your contact link though. I had sent emails to the two on the main page so not sure if this is any different but worth a try. Thank you. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of charging only cables out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to see if I have any such devices that used data on them too. Thanks for the idea. TJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroAl Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I just went through this myself. I used my micro USB from my PS4 to get it to work. High probability is the cable you are using. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty but all seem to be charging a keyboard or device of some kind. Thanks for the note about you also having the same issue. Hopefully this is the case with mine too.

Was so hit and miss on what it ran I seldom used it. Not sure I still have it on this computer but something for me to explore. Thanks again!
