Hello everyone,
Basically I am writing to see if any of you out there uses the Hitachi Life Studio Mobile Plus portable hard drive and USB key bundle with your Mac.
I just bought it - the day before yesterday, and I was really excited about being able to auto-sync the USB not only to my computer, but also to the free cloud the bundle offers.
However, after a long process of elimination I have discovered that for some reason the software inhibits my MacBook Pro's ability to shut down. I assume it is because there's some unknown program running in the background - but when the program is installed and configured, and I tell my computer to shut down through the Apple menu it starts to shut down, and the dock disappears, however, nothing happens from there on in.
Time Machine works fine with the external, and the USB works great as just a USB, but for the amount of money I paid to be able to auto-sync my Uni work both online and onto my computer, I wish I could use all of the bundle's facilities. Does anybody else who uses this product have the same issue, and if so, has anyone discovered a 'cure'?
