I have a similar problem.

I have just moved to a new laptop (everything worked fine before), installed iIiad companion software, changed the name of the pc in iLiad settings, but I can't get companion to recognize iLiad and back it up.

The laptop recognizes iLiad as external drive and that works fine, but it's still annoying that I can't get companion to recognize it.

Also, when I "safely remove" iLiad from laptop, iLiad still acts as if it is connected, so I have to either shut it down or unplug with the screen "Connected to PC" still active (though the laptop doesn't recognize it as connected anymore).

I don't know what to do about it.
