MAXTOR FUSION USER’S GUIDE
My USB drive is not recognized.
External USB drives must be formatted for the FAT32
or VFAT file system.
Drives formatted for the NTFS file
system can be read by the Maxtor Fusion admin user but
cannot be used as a destination for backing up or writing
files.
If I send an invitation to a user, do they have to use Firefox
or Internet Explorer 6.0 to view the files?
No. Users should be able to click on links received in most
major browsers.
I have a Mac and a PC. On the PC, I can play video and listen
to music from the Detailed Information windows for these
files. I cannot do this on a Mac. Why?
Some browser and plug-in configurations do not support
playing of video or music files from within the browser.
If this occurs, verify that you have the latest browser and
player updates or export the file and play it directly from
the player application on your computer. The default media
player on the Mac is QuickTime, and it cannot play .WMV files
at the time this document was written. You can always
download the file, and play it with an alternate application.
For example, VLC from VideoLAN can play .WMV files in the
Mac OSX environment.
Can the admin see and modify files in another user's
account?
Yes, through the EXPLORE file manager interface, the admin
user can view and manage the file and folder contents of
any user account. However, the admin cannot change or
modify any of the tags, descriptions or share groups,
invited or public, that have been created by other users.
I am the Maxtor Fusion administrator and also have a user
account. After I use the EXPLORE icon as a non-administra-
tive user, I cannot see the admin’s files – even after I log in
again as administrator. What’s happening?
Once you log into the EXPLORE interface, the operating
system of your computer will keep your user account logged
in even after you close the EXPLORE window. To log out,
your computer requires you to perform a user logout from
its operating system or restart the computer. If you are the
only Maxtor Fusion user that uses your computer then you
can have your computer automatically log you in after
restarting your computer. Select the appropriate option
from the login screen of your file manager when you
double-click the EXPLORE icon.
How do I select a new the default browser so I can complete
the installation?
On Mac OS X, Safari-Set Preferences sets the default Web
browser for your user login. Change this setting from Safari
(or any other browser) to Firefox once you have installed this
application.
On Microsoft XP, select Start > Set Program Access and
Defaults.
