Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and Pocketbook

Barcey · 07-22-2011, 06:17 PM

I just tried to connect my Pocketbook 301+ for the first time since upgrading to Lion and it's not mounting. Is anyone else having an issue?

Same problem here.

I own a pocketbook360 and just upgraded to OSX 10.7 Lion - same effect.

Is there already a solution for this problem? I bought ebooks and cannot transfer them to my reader anymore

regards

Guys (and girls),

It is clear that this is not a PocketBook issue.
You just upgraded to a different OSX version.
This version seems to have a problem with the FAT32 filesystem driver or with the USB bus.
I 'd suggest you collect the information from "dmesg" or /var/log/messages and drop this into the right MacOSX Forum.

I just tried to connect my pocketbook to my new Macbook Air which came with Lion - nothing whatsoever is happening. I'm on holiday with no access to USB sticks or any other stuff - any ideas what I can do? I wanted to copy some books and take it with me hiking tomorrow......

Has anyone contacted Pocketbook? Although technically it isn't their problem, if I found they don't support this kind of upgrade of OSX I would not buy their products.

I contacted them about this matter. Unfortunately, they do not support this kind of upgrade.

This is not a real solution, but many newer Macs have a SD-Card slot, so you just need an MicroSD to SD adapter…

Hi Everyone,

i'm new here, been lurking and reading along for a while. Since this (no PB903 connection to MacLion) influences my decision on which device to buy, i'd like to have a word...

Didi anyone try to boot Lion into 32bit mode and connect the PB then? Had trouble with USB-drivers before and this helped.

Have a nice day Everyone

I have a PB902 that works fine with the same version of Lion, it seems to be a problem with just the older models.
