My operating system cannot detect the StoreJet 35T

 

Check the following: 

1. 

Is your StoreJet 35T properly connected to the USB port? Unplug the StoreJet 35T from 

your computer’s USB port, wait for 10 seconds, and then plug it in again. If it is properly 

connected and nothing happens, try using another available USB port. 

2. 

Ensure the Power Adapter cable is securely connected to the StoreJet 35’s DC IN jack, 

and that the Power Adapter is also plugged into a working AC power outlet. 

3. 

Are you using the USB cable that came in the

 

StoreJet 35T package? If not, try using the 

Transcend supplied USB cable to connect the StoreJet to your computer. 

4. 

Is  your  StoreJet  35T  connected  to  a  Mac

®

 

keyboard?  If  so,  unplug  it  and  plug  it  into  an 

available USB port on your Mac

® 

desktop computer. 

5. 

Is  the  USB  port  enabled?  If  not,  refer  to  the  user’s  manual  of  your  computer  (or 

motherboard) to enable it. 

 

 

The StoreJet 35T does not Power On

 

Check the following: 

1. 

Ensure the Power Adapter cable is securely connected to the StoreJet 35’s DC IN jack, 

and that the Power Adapter is also plugged into a working AC power outlet. 

2. 

Ensure that the StoreJet 35T is properly connected to the USB port on your computer. 

3. 

Ensure that the USB port is working properly. If not, try using an alternate USB port. 

 

 

I cannot copy large files to the StoreJet 35T

 

1. 

Is there enough available disk space? 

2. 

Is the file larger than 4GB? If so, please see below: 

If the StoreJet 35T file system is formatted to the FAT32 file system, it can be recognized on most 

types  of  computers,  game  consoles  and  media  playback  devices.

 

  However,

  the  FAT32  file 

system does not support large files that exceed 4GB in size

. If you plan to store large files that are 

larger than 4GB, you will need to convert the drive to a different file system such as NTFS. Please 

see the “

Formatting the Hard Drive

” section of this manual for instructions how to re-format the 

StoreJet 35T. 

 

I’m having proplems with the StoreJet 35T on my Mac
