    HI all,
    my imac wont recognize my usb stick anymore but its fine on my mac book pro... it worked on the imac previously, and I have tried different ports on the imac but to no avail.
    I have the preference option selected to show external drives, so any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Are the USB slots showing up in About This Mac? Also, what OS have you installed?
