Troubleshooting
Q: I cannot turn my Transcend T.photo™ on.
You may not be holding down the Power button long enough. Please press and hold the Power button for at least 3 seconds. If that doesn’t solve the problem, please check to make sure your T.photo™ is connected securely to the DC adapter, and that the adapter is plugged into a wall socket.

1. Is your T.photo™ properly connected to the USB port? If not, unplug it and plug it in again. Make sure the USB port is connected on both ends, as shown in the User’s Manual.
2. Is your T.photo™ connected to the Mac keyboard? If yes, unplug it and plug it into an available USB port on your Mac Desktop.
3. Is the USB port enabled? If not, refer to the user’s manual of your computer (or motherboard) to enable it.

Try unplugging the DC power adapter from your T.photo™, then reconnecting it to your T .photo™ again.
Q: I have connected my T.photo to the computer, but the T.photo does not appear as a new drive in my operating system?
